The Club's Cocktails


Pulling from the pre-Prohibition era for inspiration is Carroll Garden's own 'Clover Club.'  An establishment that seems to more than satisfy the locals of this Brooklyn quartier.  Clover Club does not just stop at the candle lit tables, the rustic wooden bar, draping curtains or the fireplace back room to cover the minimal requirement for their themed approach.  The Club keeps the local Dr. David Wondrich in mind, an expert in antique cocktails and history of American cocktails, to further their integrity.  Fitting songs like 'Sheik of Araby,' 'Tears' ou 'Chattanooga Stomp' are not present at The Club because that would be too intelligent.  However, music popular among the indie, Brooklyn crowd fills the ears of the patrons. As if one could predict it the appearance of the mixologist at The Club are vested, sleeves rolled up, tattooed and facial haired gentlemen constructing American classic cocktails.  Do not get the wrong idea this place is satisfying.
