P.J. Hanley’s

Please note: this business is now closed; nycgo.com keeps record of many old and closed venues. Allegedly the oldest bar in Brooklyn (it opened in 1874), this relaxed South Brooklyn spot is heavy on the neighborhood flavor and old-school Brooklyn ambiance. Its charms include a dining room full of regulars, a wall full of historical photos of the changing neighborhood, a traditional pub menu of burgers, French onion soup and deep-fried treats, and outdoor patio seating during the summer months.
