Cool space in Park Slope for video interview

Hopefully someone can give me some advice:

At the end of the month I need to do a video interview with a local author. We're hoping to rent someplace cool in the Slope, maybe with a relaxed bar atmosphere. I like the upstairs of Union Hall, but I guess they don't rent that area out. This would be in the middle of the day, around 3ish, for about 2 hours.

Thoughts, suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Did you try Bar 4 on 7th and 16th?

    Cafe Steinhoff would be cool, but they are open for lunch...

    Perhaps Living Room Lounge on 23rd/5th Ave?

    I haven't tried anywhere yet because I'm not that familiar with places in the slope. I'll give those spots a call. Thanks.

    I shot an interview at Southpaw a couple of years ago which turned out very well - they've got a nice long bar and lots of space. Obviously it's not as bookish and refined like the Union Hall bar area, but it depends on what look you need. Just make sure you let people know that you will need absolute quiet while you roll. I've rented from restaurants that didn't realize they couldn't be clanging post and dishes while I was shooting... Anyway, good luck.

    I work at Flatbush Farm and we have a lovely garden... it could be up for use some afternoon.

    You could bust the downstairs stage at Union Hall, it does boast that weird portrait with a striking resemblance to Robin Williams.

    the top of the williamsburg bank building would be pretty cool.
