My first photo assignment for Brokelyn.com was to check out the happy hours at some bars on Smith Street (in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn). Lauren eagerly accompanied me as we sampled the margaritas and took in the atmosphere at Pacifico, Camp, and Zombie Hut.

Pacifico (98 Smith St) was more of a Mexican Restaurant with classy decor and ample outdoor seating. Unfortunately it was pouring rain, so we didn’t get to sit outside. The $4 margaritas sure were strong though!

Camp (179 Smith St) is a small bar that feels like a cozy log cabin. The walls are decorated with boats, deer heads, and other wildernessy items. The seating resembles logs and stumps from the woods. Plus, they have games on hand and $3 well drinks on Thursdays. But best of all is their smore platter: a big tray with hershey bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows ready to roast over a flame in the center.

Zombie Hut (273 Smith St) was perhaps the best find of the evening. All over the bar were small groups of 20-somethings playing board games over drinks. Lauren and I played some Jenga while others partook in some intense Connect Four games. Not to mention the fact that it’s a tiki bar, complete with a giant fish tank, tropical drinks with those little paper umbrellas, and beaded strings at the bathroom entryway.

All shots taken with the 5d2 & 35/2 or 85/1.8; some with the 430EX flash.
