Have Some Boobs With Your Barbecue: Bushwick’s Newest Bar Is Boob-Themed
As of last Friday, Bushwick officially has a boob-themed restaurant and bar. Though we have many questions, the most burning one by far is this: How did it take us this long?
Via Bushwick Daily, Boobie Trap opened last Friday at Irving Ave at Bleecker Street near the Myrtle-Wyckoff stop, selling barbecue (pulled pork, smoked seitan, hot and cold sides), as well as a pretty incredible lunch deal in which you can get a half-pound of meat, two sides, and a beer for $12. What the article failed to mention, however, was that Boobie Trap was more than just a reference to The Goonies. It’s the theme of the bar!
DNAinfo spoke to owner and bartender Kristen North, who says Boobie Trap reminds her of a Tarantino film, and is a “bartender’s bar.” We do not disagree with this, as bartenders, like the majority of the population, seem to generally be great fans of boobs. There are boob-themed coloring books (see above), a topless mannequin, men’s magazine centerfolds, “breasts inside glass ornaments,” as well as non-boob esoterica, such as plastic fingers that act as coat hooks, a “fuck off” neon sign, bathroom doorbells, decorated phone chargers, and zebra- and leopard-print decor.
As for beer, Boobie Trap only serves two kinds on tap, one light and one dark, in an effort to focus more on canned beers, because they are “always super cold,” according to North, (um, except for in those cases when… they are not?). The drink deals are especially notable as well, including $3 wells and drafts and $25 60-oz pitchers of sangria or margaritas from 4 to 8pm, which in our opinion, might just be the breast happy hour in Brooklyn.
