Bona Ventura

Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn · New York City

Tip-Top Bar & Grill

Casual barLocals' pick

A family-run Bed-Stuy basement bar that has barely changed in forty years: bars on the windows, Christmas lights all year, soul on the jukebox (Charles Bradley gigged here before he was famous), free food some nights and an old-school neighbourhood crowd.
