Editorial Review
If it was in the East Village or Lower East Side, Barbès would be a good, if unremarkable, pub and live music venue. But its unlikely location in family-friendly Park Slope makes it a true diamond in the rough. The Brooklyn differences are subtle at first: Bartenders are a bit friendlier than you're used to. There's elbow room. You can talk to your friend without shouting. Then you wander into the back room, where there's live music - or readings, or performance art - every night of the week, completely free. When the beer pitcher circulates, you might not fork over the whole $10 suggested donation for the band, but eight will feel right.
