Every October 3rd, the internet quotes the line about what day it is, and this party takes it literally: wear pink and dance under the mirrored ceilings and disco ball at Shania's Max Bet in Gowanus. The bar, opened in the former Dirty Precious space by three Royal Palms Shuffleboard veterans, has red banquettes, a purple back room and draft Midori Sours. If you want a free, low-effort, high-camp night out in Brooklyn, this is the easy yes.
What to expect
You walk into a retro, Atlantic City-themed cocktail bar with a disco ball up front and a mirrored purple lounge in the back, both filling with people dressed in pink. DJ Marjorine runs the music all night, and the bar keeps its regular late hours.
