Brooklyn’s Steampunk Bar Could Use More Clockwork

The Way Station , a newly opened streak in Brooklyn ’s Prospect Heights , is placard itself as the universe ’s first steampunk streak and unrecorded euphony venue . But what incisively makes the bar steampunky ?

Owner Andy Heidel open up the Way Station — named forthe novel by Clifford D. Simak — in September , although his failure thus far to secure a pot liquor permit has left the venue in a state of oblivion . Although the bar is n’t exposed on a casual cornerstone , Heidel has been host effect throughout the drop to draw a crew steampunk fans and fiend .

Surprisingly , despite a few Victorian - breathe in touches , the decor does n’t particularly call steampunk . The TARDIS , though , is a nice nod to the geeky taste of its hoped - for business . Perhaps we ’ll see more gaslight and brass once the bar pick up its liquor licence and gathers more — hem — steam . But maybe it ’s just intend to be a smear where the goggles and girdle - don crowd can gather and rub leather - cloak elbow with corresponding - disposed souls . If you ’re interested in ringing in the New Year with a radical of fellow steampunks , the Way Station is hosting afree New Year ’s Eve political party this Thursday .
