Brooklyn bars we look forward to visiting

In addition to Strong Rope Brewery in the Gowanus/Park Slope border, we hope to visit Rose’s Bar & Grill, located at 295 Flatbush Avenue and Gold Star Beer Counter, located a few blocks east of Rose’s at 176 Underhill Avenue. We gather that the first Brooklyn location of Shorty’s, the Philly Cheesesteak and craft-beer bar, will open soon at 229 Flatbush Avenue. Shorty’s four Manhattan locations have not disappointed, so we expect the same quality out of its first Brooklyn location.
