This is a great spot to catch Bonga and the band in Williamsburg. It's a funky and intimate but it gets really rocking with dancing as the night goes on. Take the L to Lorimer or by car it's very close the Williamsburg bridge on the Brooklyn side. Make a left when you get off the Bridge and head close to the water Wythe between Metropolitan and No. 3rd.
