Does anyone have any suggestions on a neighborhood "cheers-like" bar in PH? I'm new and hoping to venture out and meet people and find some cool spots. Thanks!

    Tavern on Dean is very much like that.

    Mooney's as well.

    Yup. Both bars have plenty of old-timers who like their sports.

    Yes, Mooney's is great. 353 Flatbush Ave. (between Park and Sterling).

    I'd say mooney's, also. you show your face in there more than 3 times in one month? they're pulling your guinness before you sit on your barstool.

    I'm in Ripple once a week or so, and although it lacks in some Cheers-esque elements, the folks are kind and know me. One slow night there I was even helping myself to beers behind the bar and just leaving the money in a little pile.

    ripple is awesome, honestly. I've changed my opinion of that bar in the last yearish and really enjoy going there now.

    H.A.M. (Human's Against Music) is more of a very low-tech signing contest, but you get a chance to win a canned ham (and so much more). We have an MP3 latop with voiceless tracks and printed lyrics. Every third wednesday of each month we... yadda yadda yadda.
