female bartender (white, black hair, glasses wearing a ‘thank god for abortion’ shirt, didn’t catch her name) was rude as hell when the bar wasn’t even busy (at 1am) gave friend A attitude bc all he ordered was soda. shortly after friend B ordered white claws. told friend C not to be rude (friend C interrupted bc she was trying to pay for friend B). then bartender slammed the white claws down on the counter, splashing the drinks on their hair, and aggressively screamed the price at my friend so loud that i was across the bar and still heard her over the music. i was observing up to this point. i told her she was being rude and she told me maybe we shouldn’t be at the bar and took the whiteclaws back. we left after finishing the margs that tasted like acid. will never return.

I wanted to like this bar as my neighborhood go-to but I really had such a bad experience with the black male bartender working that night. He was taking shots and giving free ones to all the women in the bar and could care less about serving our group. On top of that, anytime I wanted to order a drink I was confronted with the most aggressive response from him. I can take my business where they appreciate me.

Rear Admiral Mark Singleton Highly decorated veteran of WW 2 as a famous North Atlantic German U-boat sub-Hunter, sinking 3 and disabling 2 others, assisting in numerous Atlantic convoy crossings and key in implementing the “MAD” (magnetic anomaly detector) technique of sub-hunting. After the war, Admiral Singleton settled in Brooklyn, and opened a local drinking establishment, offering a comforting place for sailors and seamen to regale in the tales of naval warfare and voyages. Notorious for New Year’s Eve party’s where the entire community would join in celebrations of a festive year ahead, topped off with the “Boat Job” drink which consists of a shot of Singleton scotch and soda. Admiral Singleton’s photograph is framed magnanimously behind the bar, paying tribute to his character and stature.

Dive par excellence. $5 draft special. Pinball and pool available. Mostly a rad and casual spot to get beers, hang with your friends, and have a good time doing it. Boat Bat forever.
