Lively but low-key, upbeat but not oppressively upscale, this bar and pizza joint has become Park Slope's de facto community center. As you relax at the front-room bar, sipping a cold draft from a boot-shaped mug and getting to know your neighbors, local artists, accountants and toddlers groove to a funk band playing in the back. A crowded bulletin board lets you in on all the music lessons, theater workshops and inner-energy seminars occurring on Seventh Avenue. And in nice weather, you can knock back a couple of pitchers in the walled-in garden, and eavesdrop on your neighbors' most intimate stories. Don't feel bad, they're listening to you too and besides, it's the Slope -- we share everything here. -- Diana Shafter
