Recent college grads: where do they hang here?

Be brave, sweetsummercorn - be the youngan at those spots. 20s are 20s, be it early 20s, early-mid 20s, late-mid 20s, or just plain late 20s. I like Ripple Bar on Washington Ave & St. Johns, and Sepia on Underhill & Lincoln Place. Both are cozy, friendly and usually have good soul or hip hop music playing. For straight early-20s vibes, I'm drawing a blank unless you hit Williamsburg or the weekend LES.

I graduated two years ago. I hang out at Joyce and Soda primarily.

Don't worry, at some point you'll feel uncomfortable at the opposite end of the spectrum when you wander into Ripple or Soda and mutter to yourself, "Jeezus, I must be the oldest person in the room" in your late 30s to early 40s...can't we all just get along and drink?

Of course we can!

Any place for "the gays" to chill in the neighborhood besides park slope?

chocolate monkey (if it's still open) used to have a lesbian night. not sure if they had a generalized queer night.

and, of course, there's the first gay bar in brooklyn in crown heights - check out the starlight.

Most of the regulars at O'Connors are ladies. Or at least they play softball like it.

Apparently, in order to be allowed to attend a dailyheights happy hour, you have to be of "fighter" class. And have proficiency in the "popcorn toss".

i heard there is a men's gay club in bed-sty but i have never been in there.

i find that queer ladies like myself can be spotted occasionally in PH, but primarily yes PS at ginger's and cattyshack.

not sure if it's the only gay bar in crown heights but starlite is at bergen and nostrand.

in this county of kings, there might in fact be a mythical gay orc bar (ginger's) far from dangerous places where kobold nest among tree people (oc's), a place far from where the undead play (freddy's) after traveling for days lost in a cold dark snowy valley (soda), where illusionists speak untruth (monteros).

but I am Karl, a lowly druid with a true nuetral alignment and modest hit points. i come form a place where i posses no armor nor sharp weapon (jackie's 5th amendment). i wander westward to search uncharted lands (hank's) for a mythical place where people under 25 are rumored to leave a tip over a quarter, a place where the hatchlings know when to take that cell call outside because we don't really care about your friend Alissa's dog or where you got that tee shirt, a place where the elvin folk know better not block the bathroom with their badly placed chairs and their boulder-sized backpacks. i'll search this borough far and wide (sonny's) but i might fail my quest.

You could try socializing with people who aren't in your exact, narrow age demographic (and who may not necessarily have college degrees). Sadly, this kind of insularity seems to be more and more prevalent in this neighborhood. A shame, really.
