This fall, the space formerly occupied by dark, dirty, loud, graffiti-covered dive bar Wreck Room which exemplified all we love about Bushwick, will be the next door neighbor to a new spot called Tiltz Sports Bar and Arcade

This past weekend, Bushwick’s diviest dive bar, Wreck Room made wrecks out of its patrons for the last time in long nine years

This year has been a bad year for pool tables I have known

We couldn’t believe it either

In the ocean of slick “hipster chic” bars serving organic beers, all you sometimes want to do is to dive in to a bar that looks crappier than your bedroom, get hammered on cheap no-name whiskey, maybe play some pool, and sing-yell a Weezer song by the end of the night

Do you remember when the diviest of all Bushwick dive bars, Wreck Room, announced its demise back in June 2014? An unfortunate side casualty was the closure of Arancini Bros next door, a popular purveyor of deep fried risotto balls that tasted especially good after a long night of partying and drinking in Bushwick

Flushing Ave has been such a bustle of activity recently, with the opening of Forrest Point and the closing of the Wreck Room, that it can be easy to forget about a quiet little Thai fusion restaurant and bar that opened at the beginning of the summer, Koda

Now that you’ve said your goodbyes to the Wreck Room, take a moment tomorrow at 9 PM to mourn the death of Kings County, and to celebrate the birth of Kings County Saloon

Here’s the definitive round-up of where to prove your brain is the biggest.

Yo, Bushwick

Last Wednesday, Vice Versa, most definitely the biggest and arguably the most popular vintage clothing store in the Bushwick area, was spotted carrying out bags of clothes from their store on White Street and loading them into trucks

Whew, what a whirlwind summer! For those of you who managed to escape the concrete clutches of the city for a few months, the neighborhood might seem a little different now. There’s about a bazillion new places to get sloshed, and most of them serve food, too. Unfortunately, this summer also saw the demise of […]

Last fall, the shutting down of Apostrophe, a beloved art gallery and after hours spot devastated the Bushwick underground scene. It’s been almost a year and Ki and Sei Smith, the brothers that founded the space in 2012, have had lots of time to think, scheme and strategize a plan for a new, improved and […]

Last week, Gustavo Ponce, our beloved Bushwick Mixer photographer, took over our Instagram account to highlight bars and venues

At the risk of beating a dead horse here, I thought it would be fun and interesting to do a follow-up to the awesome story my colleagues did on five places to get laid in Bushwick

Well, kids, it is officially May which, for me, stands for margaritas, wearing white and, of course, Bushwick Open Studios! While this event is still a few weeks away, the galleries are already getting ready for it and the neighborhood is literally buzzing with activity

A couple of weeks ago a remarkable photography exhibition by Petros Chrisostomou opened at Fuchs Projects

Whether you’ve jumped the turnstiles (not recommended, but we get it) or pony’d up for one last $104 monthly MetroCard before the fare hikes in March, the next L stop on this Drink & Ride gets you to Morgan – previously only a name you associated with girls who played high school field hockey

I love you, Bushwick, but I have some complaints

This is Part I of a rolling conversation with photographer and sense provocateur

The city has designated $98 million to develop full-service animal shelters in all five boroughs.

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to watch this thing sober.

This past Sunday, March 20th, was the official first day of Spring! The bar and restaurant scene of Bushwick is ever-changing, growing, and evolving, and this winter was a big season for that: now that the spring season is officially here and warmer days are imminent, let’s take a look back and see what new places opened this winter—they may well turn out to be your spring and summertime go-to spots

Needing art so bad after the holidaze? We’ve been feeling the same
