Karasu

One of the best parts of a good speakeasy is the shock and delight upon arrival, which Karasu always delivers on. Walk into contemporary American restaurant, Walters, located right on the corner of charming Fort Greene Park, and one would never expect to find a Japanese-inspired speakeasy at the back. The vibe shift after entering the bar is immediate, and preps you for inventive cocktails or a neat pour of Japanese whisky. Lychee lovers can’t go wrong with the Bee Side, and cognac fans should try the Night Night, which combines the spirit with Antica vermouth, plum sake, jalapeno and mezcal.
