A Primer: Brooklyn-Themed Bars, Restaurants, and Ukulele Shops In Foreign Countries
Bar Brooklyn, Stockholm
Sweden’s Brooklyn obsession is nothing if not well documented—they’re getting their own Brooklyn Brewery, after all—and last year a Stockholm native told New York Magazine, “You can just slap the word ‘Brooklyn’ on anything and every fucking hipster will buy it.”
Case in point, Bar Brooklyn. The place seems fairly standard—cocktails, ping pong, the occasional live show—but the owner has said, “we wanted to be like the bars in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We wanted to serve different kind of beers from Brooklyn breweries and let people bring their own food to the bar.” The more bars that are out in the world with an advertised BYO food policy, the better.
