WORDS ON THE WEB:
Gothamist says, "Last night there was a lot of pâté and a burlesque dancer wearing nipple tassels at the grand opening of the Belleville Lounge in Park Slope. In the main dining room, Fancy Magazine played clips from their demented yeti big band film archives, and waiters passed around short rib canapes and French Breakfast radishes on skewers. This all took place in the name of the newish Belleville Lounge, which occupies the corner bistro's back room. Here, in addition to events like open mics and the weekly Sunday night Drag/Tea party, menu items like duck rilettes ($7) will be served. The prices are good: a baguette will a side bowl of rouille will run you $3, and there's an entire tarte flambée menu. For many, Park Slope signifies nothing less than a nightmarish, stroller-gridlocked BabyBjörn Triangle. For others still it's a way of life. Last night, the corner of 5th and 5th in Park Slope became the epicenter of strange, however briefly. Hopefully Belleville Lounge will keep it that way."
Metromix says, "The cozy French restaurant Belleville spawned a next-door lounge: The Belleville Lounge features vintage Parisian furnishings (including the bar itself), airy ceilings and antique décor touches, and will offer "French underground club music," live performances and screenings of ‘60s French films. Tres chic, Park Slopers, non? A menu of tapas-sized French dishes—like an escargot-and-garlic-herb-butter tarte flambee, and profiteroles made with chèvre and house made pâté—complement the Lounge's long wine list and handful of craft beers on tap."
