Some places fail miserably in their attempts to create the cluttered kitschy charm of too many knickknacks and tchotchkes (I'm looking at you TGIF), some succeed (kudos to you Bait & Tackle) and then there's the real deal--Montero's. Over the past sixty years Montero's has perfected this look as only the old school dive bar can. Being just a few blocks from the water on Atlantic Ave they've gone nuts for all things nautical. I hope I'm lucky enough to be drinking there if Brooklyn ever gets flooded, then I can grab a bottle of rum, one of the life savers from the rafters, and set sail for black-out island.
