Overview
This cozy Smith street bar is outfitted in full fledged tiki regalia - floor to ceiling bamboo, Polynesian masks, and a tropical fish tank. On most week nights the potent drinks and friendly bar tenders create a warm neighborhood atmosphere, but on weekends it's easy to get caught off guard by the coke and liquor crowd which flocks here for stiff drinks, 90s music, and an aggressive singles scene.
Why You Should Go
- Take one group of friends add a scorpion bowl and a well tipped bartened, and you've got a cheap kick off to a night of excess.
- On weekends the singles scene ranges from oppressive to just what the doctor ordered depending on how close to 4am it is.
What You Should Know
- To get the maximum buzz for your buck try the "Miserable Bastard." $7 for 5 shots and one heck of a kick start to your night.
- A selection of board games makes for a nice low-key spot to hang-out with a friend on a weekday, but the weekend crowd is anything but low key

…a kitschy hangout for white Brooklynites who have cash to burn on Polynesian-inspired drinks…

A darkly-lit atmosphere combined with super-strong island cocktails helps make Zombie a hot date spot...just keep track of how many you've had.
