What happens when Brooklyn based taste makers called OAK open a bar with a couple friends? It's called Blackout and it's totally inspired. Forget what you know about watering holes in Brooklyn's youngest and coolest hoods. The Rustic French and Ye Olde American aesthetics are done. You'll find no taxidermy here. No reclaimed barn wood. No subway tile. What you will find is lacquered black tin ceilings, matte beluga grey walls, black leather banquets and deco lamps hovering above the 35 ft long lacquered black bar. The only color comes in the form of green palms. Think Gothic Miami. Think glamour in the Great Depression. Think decadence with the spirit of a dive. It's the coal colored luxury we've been waiting for.
