Irene’s Capri Lounge

I asked for a vodka soda and got a vodka on the rocks. My kinda place, gotta love Polish bartenders

The sexual energy of a bar gets charged up quickly when Johnny arrives forgetting to wear his wedding ring

Great atmosphere, super friendly polish bartenders who serve six dollar strong mixies. Great jukebox too!
Come here on a weekend night for an eclectic mix of locals and younger crowd.
I always get into the best conversations either at the bar or out back by the smoking entrance. Probably the best to date has been this sweet polish lady who thought me a proper handshake (about time I guess).

Just the right mix of local flavor + hip kids dancing to alternatively great or terrible music. I’m looking at you, Britney Spears lover… Whoever you are. Just don’t expect to get anything other than cheap well liquor here. This ain’t a fancy spot.

The locals treat the incoming flood of kids coming to drink here with respect. But there are enough locals to keep it from getting annoyingly hip. Irene, the owner is super sweet. I’ve never had bad service or a bad experience here. I watch a lot of the hockey games here and there are always other fans to celebrate and commiserate with. Also $ 1 Jell-​O shots.

Best jukebox ever. Would come to Greenpoint again specifically just to come back to this bar.

I love this place. It’s unlike any other bar I’ve come across. Not fancy or anything. Authentic. Every time I go I meet some locals who have lived in Greenpoint their whole life and are super friendly to me. AND it’s not overrun with hipsters which is so hard to find around here.

Has
So much
Potential.
Looks like old men
Bar, huge space, cheap drinks, and has DJ nights?

My friends sister had her birthday here; and we all came bye after work. It is a nice little neighborhood bar, and the prices are reasonable. The music wasnt super loud, which I enjoyed. If Im ever in the neighborhood I’ll drop bye again.

$ 5 beer and shot, $ 10 bucket of mini beers, empty and spacious. that is all I can remember.

not a bad spot. was here for a pole dancing showcase

this place has so much potential it KILLS me that it’s not more popular. $ 1 jello shots, $ 2 PBR (all the time), $ 5 well drinks, awesome old school juke box (hello eric clapton, do you perhaps do the twist?), photo hunt, SPACE (tons of space! booths, tables, an extra bar?!), sweet older bartenders… sigh. i could live here. instead i will drag all my friends here one by one to keep me company. if you’re in the area, definitely check it out! pregame, post-​game, mid-​day… no one’s judging at this bar.

Is it Irish or Polish?
Best place in Greenpoint to get an Afternoon drink when youre girlfriend tells you she needs to get off the pill because it «suppressing her artistic intellect».
They got these really little beers here+ they got some really big clients though = lots of little beer drinking
Sometimes the lady goes to the bar directly across from the other bar and does something over there.
and… you guys heard of HD TV? well they have this thing called Cathode Ray Tube TV, and its awesome, at first it looks like no def (NDTV) or dissapointment def (DDTV) but after a few drinks… well i Guess youll have to tell ME…

Located just far enough off Manhattan Ave. to be overlooked, the Capri social club is a historic Brooklyn bar that deserves a visit. Once inside, it’s hard not to appreciate the eclectic mix of Italian, Irish, and local influence built up over a long history of local patronage.
From outside, I can see why this place might be intimidating. As a social club, most casual visitors believe they are not welcome, but this cannot be further from the truth. Yes, it’s privately owned, but the owner, bartenders, and regulars are just about the most welcoming inviting people you will ever meet. In fact, on my second visit I felt like I was walking into a family reunion.
While on the typical night you will not find a crowd, during the summer months (just about every other Friday or Saturday) this place is packed to the brim with customers ranging in age from early 20’s to late 80’s. If you haven’t been on a busy summer night, you’ve really never experienced this bar at its full potential.
In summation, this bar deserves another look. And while it’s hard to believe, on busy summer nights, there is no better bar to be at in Brooklyn.

The Capri Social Club, aka «Irene’s Bar» is a pseudo-​members-​only blue collar bar owned by the fiesty proprietess Irene, a youthful-​cum-​60s Polish lass with a sense of sass.
Mose nights, the place is completely empty, save for a few old ladies asleep at the bar, and Justin Timberlake blaring at block-​shaking volume from the jukebox.
Sporadically, on Thursday/​Friday/​Saturday nights, you get an eclectic mix of locals, locals, and locals. Sometimes it’s all 46yo firefighters, sometimes you find a few wayward Studio B hipsters trying to figure out how to have a good time inside.
