They let me in, so it can't be too fancy! We've had bunches of meetups there before.

But yeah, DUMBO as a whole is really design-oriented.

OKAY SO looking at their site it looks more fancy than I remembered so I asked a friend who works in that hood to tell me if it is, indeed, too fancy. If so there are a billion other places to go in DUMBO.

I love their fries so so much though :/

It's not that fancy, but the drinks are certainly not inexpensive.

Looks OK, with an awesome beer selection, and I'm looking forward o these French fries. I'm not going into work that day, though, so if they're so fancy that they have any sort of dress code I need to know.

Also, is this going to be a permanent move? Because if it ends up being pricey then I don't know.

Okay, so sweetkid and zoomorphic talked me down a little bit and I might have some other options in DUMBO. Stay tuned.

griphus, this is for you.

There's no dress code. We had a pretty massive (30+ people, maybe?) meetup there two years ago.

Temporary move; it's a meetup regular's birthday this week and DUMBO was requested. Plus it's a cool neighborhood.

i'll go anywhere as long as the drinks arent expensive and im not buying ;D

Oh no! A bar and neighborhood I can get to without a lot of Brooklyn train patience and dread of the ride home ... but we have Hunger Games IMAX tix ... Next trendy place in yuppie-scum neighborhood, lemme know, I'm in. Just so's you have a boomer on board.

I lost my phone there last time. I'll try to come and consider it a re-match.
