Mooney's Pub on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn served it's last beers this past Saturday. I remember many, many nights in there throughout the 90's when I lived round the corner on Sterling Place. Open until 4am it was the ideal place to hang out before going upstairs to my apartment. People from all walks of life went in there and there was never any trouble that I saw. This was a time when your bar options in Park Slope were Mooney's, Freddy's on 6th Ave by the Precinct and O'Connors on 5th Ave. No boutique bars in those days, and Bass Ale on tap was as 'foreign' as it got when it came to the beer. Good times.

This is incredibly sad. Brooklyn has truly gone to hell.
