SoBro! (part 2)

Mott Haven, South Bronx Bruckner Bar & Grill and Sweetwater’s Bar & Grill
After the wonderful brunch I had at Alexander’s Cafe (see post below), I mosied on over to two other great Mott Haven establishments for coffee and drinks - the famous, Zagat-rated Bruckner Bar and Grill and Sweetwater’s. First, Bruckner Bar and Grill: great atmosphere, reasonable prices and a fun and always-friendly bartender (link NSFW due to volume) who’s also a a pretty cool rock-n-roller!! (Who knew?!?) Because I had already eaten, I didn’t sample the food, but what I saw (and smelled!) coming out of the kitchen makes me vow to return quite soon. Oh, and P.S. - the best sighting in SoBro (bar none) was provided at The Bruckner - two nuns, eating burgers…drinking beers…out of the bottle!!! Priceless!
Sweetwater’s was next on my tour of Mott Haven - and what a great little surprise. The charming bartender Starr, though not the owner or manager, seemed to be the enterprising driving force of the restaurant/bar. When you stop in, try ordering her very own concoction - The Starr Bright! But be forewarned. She made one for the photo (see below) and it looked like it would knock you off your you-know-what!!!
