The popular Bushwick Bar, Pearl’s Social & Billy Club recently set up a sort of velvet  rope outside its shady corner entrance on St Nicholas Ave. The rope (actually hemp) leads to a window occupied by a disinfectant-drenched staff member ready to procure a wealth of drink options for their thirsty public. It’s part of the aggressive “come-hither” strategy that sets Pearl’s apart from several other establishments offering take-out booze; she (Pearl, of course) is clearly courting her public to come and fulfill the “social” portion of her bar’s moniker, while demanding in her matronly manner that we observe pandemic strictures.
