Profile

This venue is closed.

Since most nights of the week you can barely shoehorn another body into Atlantic Avenue's superpopular Last Exit bar, the arrival of Magnetic Field across the street is a welcome addition to the Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill bar scene. Little has been done cosmetically to the space that used to be the gay bar Friends Tavern, but a vague cowboy motif has been laid on to give the locals the slight whiff of kitsch they depend on. This is one stretch of the BoCoCa intersection (Boerum Hill/Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens) that actually needed another low-key neighborhood hang.
