Drink Up In South Slope

MetroMix NY has a great roundup of all the S. Slope bars I never go to because:

A. I'm old.

B. I live in N. Slope...and I'm lazy.

C. All of the above.

They hit up: Buttermilk, Commonwealth, Draft Barn, Ellis Bar, Eurotrip and Quarter Bar (which we may have to consult with Shawn on, but we think is actually moe Sunset Park-ish).

[BREEDER, TAKE NOTE: Ellis Bar offers a $1 off your draft with pics of your kids on PARENTS NIGHT!  WHEEE!]
