    The true gem of Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy. No better hub for authentic community love, creative inspiration and support, and fidelity to quality in all areas— from the coffee, to the food, and the music... And a special shout out to the best weekly comedy show in Brooklyn, also hosted at Commune, Muddy Waters, which does nothing but produce the finest comedic lineups to heal us all via brilliant rising comic stars helping us make sense of and navigate together this beautifully chaotic urban jungle we live in

    It’s wild…I remember when this place was the Sportsman like twenty years ago. Zero windows. Now look how far it’s come! And the weekly comedy show Muddy Waters is what helped me rediscover it!

    I’ve walked by this place a few times now and wanted to give them a shot. I sat at the bar and I noticed that the server has her friends there enjoying themselves. I asked for my drink which was the Pilsner and then was handed the bill. Sadly, once I paid I never heard from the server ever again and even once my drink was finished she didn’t check in to see if I wanted another once. But when her friend ordered she asked if they wanted to leave a tab open or close out and I never got that option. So I decided to leave. I believe I would’ve had a better experience if I sat at a table unless I was welcomed into their conversations. Love the location, the vibe, and the server was very nice. Even though I was scrolling on my phone a check in would’ve been great.
