Cross Street: Between Driggs Avenue and Bedford Avenue

The Funhouse (now Fun) is a great spot in the southernish part of Williamsburg. Near Black Betty and about 2 minutes from the Bedford avenue stop, it is [no longer large] space that is rarely full, but usually a fine time. There is no longer a ping pong table there, which is a shame but the place looks more loungy. The value conscious drinker will want the liquor here, as it is a good pour ($5-6 for what equates to a triple). Beer is OK ($5) but could be cheaper. DVDs on the wall, though the old Funhouse sculptures are gone.

Decor (3/5) - Bit more loungy and subdued than before

Crowd (3/5) - Usually not a huge one. The bar may now possibly cater toward the gay crowd who bring straight friends.

Drinks (3/5) - The beer is no deal, and the pours went up in price.

Dive Factor (2/5) - Trying to be a lounge. Old Funhouse R.I.P.

'Bout time we started posting again. We were at Last Exit on a lazy Saturday afternoon, so cannot speak to its night vibe, however, the place was great. Good couches inside and an ample backyard outside made it a great place to just sit, relax and have a beer. Not particularly divey (whatever that means), however, more thrift shop grunge. Drinks were OK prices for Brooklyn ($4-6 a beer) but not totally cheap. The people around were friendly, as was the bartender.

Decor (4/5) - Like out of a goodwill shop, but with ample comfortable seating. Rotating art on the wall also a draw. Outside is great and has many seats.

Crowd (3/5) - Friendly people from the neighborhood, though I hear at nights this place draws them in from all parts of BK

Drinks (2/5) - Them aint as cheap as ye'd think

Dive Factor (2/5) - Not a dive to drink your troubles away, more of a good bar to go to after Sahadi's and perhaps to spend a great night (though us day drinkers can't vouch for that one)
