Let’s go camping!
I just love kitschy bars that have a theme to them. Camp in Brooklyn NYC is the epitome of what a fun campy bar should be. You really are partying in a log cabin! The walls, ceiling, bar, floors, along with a real working fireplace and mounted deer heads on the walls are all set up to make you believe you are out in the woods upstate somewhere in a hunting cabin! It’s a pretty neat spot!
As quoted from their website – “Camp brings Brooklyn urbanites a little taste of the country. Relive summer memories while making your own smores, escape from the cold by cozying up to our fireplace, bag a deer on Big Buck Hunter, and grab some friends for a classic board game competition. All while listening to hand-picked indie rock. Welcome to Camp.” Pretty much on-point as when we walked in I noticed people playing Connect Four and Jenga while sipping away on cocktails in front of a crackling fire in the fireplace.
They have many board games on hand, along with Pac Man and Big Buck Hunter to test your video game skills. Bartender will set up a spinning bowl of s’mores with some sort of blue glop carcinogen inducing flame to roast your marshmallows over. Always up for some gooey delicious s’mores! Booze and fire! Fun!
Nice beer list along with a wallet friendly happy hour make it a worthwhile visit. Cool bartender on duty that gave us more than enough buy-backs and free shots. That was very much appreciated and seems to be a forgotten nicety among bars and bartenders lately. It makes the patron feel valued and welcomed for their business. In return, we end up spending more and tipping well. It’s a win – win! We were here for the first time celebrating a friend’s birthday party not too long ago and it was a rocking fun evening. It really is a chill bar with a laid back vibe to hang out at. Even the crowd here that night were pretty friendly. Heck yeah, it’s in a log cabin! How can you not have fun in that? It’s like being away at adult camp with a full bar serving plenty libations!
Doing s’mores in a log cabin for happy hour near a roaring fireplace is pure joy. Being that we can experience this right in Brooklyn is a treat. No reason to head out to the country. Marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate! Six Point beer and red headed slut shots too!
Fire! Fire! Fire!

I’ve been on a S’mores kick lately. This place looks FUN.
Hey Coleen!
I am so glad it’s not too close to where I live or I might be Camping every weekend!
S’mores? Count me in!
Hey Emily!
Gooey chocolately s’mores. How can you resist?
Wow, talk about a creative new idea. This place sounds like a really fun way to relive my youth.
Hey Karen!
It’s like adult camp with booze!
Sounds like a fun hangout. It never fails that I want to eat whatever you are writing about. It’s been years since I had a s’mores.
Hey Kenya!
I guess reading my blog will keep you eternally hungry then!
And here we go again – after this post, I bought the chocolate and the marshmallows. I forgot the graham crackers. I ate the chocolate, the marshmallows are “in waiting”. I’ve been to the store about 10 million times and haven’t remembered to get what I need.
See what happens when you read my blog! 🙂
Yep – you’re fattening!
That is one of the coolest concepts I’ve heard!! I wish they had one here. I love s’mores more than almost anything.
Hey Beth!
I never met anyone who hated s’mores!
Who couldn’t love a place that serves s’mores and libations? Looks like a fun bar!
Hey Cowboys!
Booze and marshmallow and chocolate and fire! What can go wrong?
Who needs to fight ticks and freezing your ass off? I’m SO over that. And THIS is my kinda camping!
Hey Terrye!
You and me both! This is my kind of camp! Now pass me a cocktail!
How do you find these places? I can’t imagine anything better than s’mores and booze without mosquitos. Or my-campsite-is-cheaper-that-a-motel-so-let’s-party neighbors in the next tent over.
Hey Barb!
There are so many gems like this in NYC. Camping without insects is a bonus!
Games to play, a real fire, choice of fine ales. and indie rock playing in the background – that sounds like my kind of place.
Hey Gary!
Yes sir! Why would anyone want to camp in the woods? Oh bartender, another cocktail please!
Another top notch find Phil. There truly is something about log cabins which have the “come see me” feel about them. This sounds like no exception.
I love the idea of all the various retro games and certainly with a few beverages I dare say the sounds become louder and more laughter ensues with the games.
I must admit I’m still learning NYC talk from you Phil. S’mores???? You got me on that one. As a dear Brit I haven’t got a clue when it comes to what that maybe.
Hey Guy!
S’mores are a combination of melted marshmallow, chocolate bar, made into a sandwich between graham crackers. Fun to make over an open fire. It’s a great treat!
Thanks for the explanation. I’m in!
S’mores in a bar that looks like a cabin? That’s awesome! Have spent the last few days camping, I would take that as a good alternative to the real thing.
Hey Mary!
It certainly is my preferred way to “rough it” and go camping!
Now,
that’s my kind of camping, babe! YESsssssssssssss. More Smores, Please. xx
Hey Kim!
I would choose this any day over insects and a hot sweaty tent in the woods! Plsu, there is a bathroom here!
How fun!!! I went to a restaurant in LA that brought little smores kits to the table with a fire. I love the laid back vibe of this bar with all the games. I need to know what a slut shot is though!
Hey Holli!
Now that sounds like my kind of resto!
I don’t know what was in those shots but they are really good! And strong!
Sign me up, Phil! Who doesn’t love the camping atmosphere with drinks, games, and s’mores? We need more cool places like that in California.
Hey Jessica!
I think we need more of these places everywhere! Even at work!
Looks like a wicked cool place. Was it crowded? I definitely could see myself hanging there for a night and enjoying. Of course, I live upstate so I’d be able to go find a true hunting cabin if I needed it!
Hey PJ!
The night we went it was not too crowded. It did remind me of a place you could find upstate. Minus the real bears.
