Kinanm Lounge

The indecisive Libra comes out again. It’s between a three and four star for me. I attended an event in the fall which was very nice. Beauty vendors were out but while the outside space was great to capture the event, the inside was just too dark; especially since there were vendors selling their services and products as well. Customer service was good. The waiters came around with delicious deserts and took any used utensils back. The other thing that led me to go with three stars instead of four is because the lounge advertises as being pretty close to the Barclays Center but it really isn’t. Indeed, it is on Atlantic Avenue, but on a winter or chilly fall day (with heels on), you definitely don’t want to walk that distance. Also, not that the area is sketchy but there were barely any businesses as you went down Atlantic. It was simply stark and empty. Sure, if its a nice spring/​summer day and you have flats you may fare well, but I wouldn’t take the chance of walking down to the Barclay’s center train stop at sunset.

I’m here at the bar now and the one star is for the inexcusable fact that’s in 2015, this bar is cash-​only. Epic fail.

Okay so my cousin reserved an area for her brothers birthday party! The DJ was ON POINT that night, he was on point on corners all of that! Lol he was playing good old and new school music. The outdoor area was cool the food was free. We brought like 6 bottles of Henny and 2 hookahs. The only annoying thing (in my opinion) was that it was SO MUCH old people there like 40 year olds and I’m 22 like =/​& the inside is sort of small to me that sort of blew mines. But I had a good night overall… I’m actually thinking about having something here for my birthday… we’ll see! If I do y’all invited =) –_​_​_​–

Checked out Kinanm’s Jazz Tuesday Night. Outdoors in BK. who knew! Good drinks, good vibe.

Me and my boys had a helluva time here on an awesome, warm Friday nite.
We made it there around 10PM and the place was hardly rocking with maybe 2 handfuls of people there. We posted up at the bar for a minute and the awesome bar chicks told us that there was a 2 for 1 special on vodka drinks for a bit. We were all about that life so we got us a few. The DJ was playing some nice joints old and new and got the party rocking more and more as time went by. The dance floor area really got packed as the night went on.
We came by to meet some friends of my buddy and we wanted to get a table to make sure we had a home base while we were there. We grabbed a table on the back patio and started making friends with neighboring tables. There was a TV out there showing the NBA playoff games as well. We ordered a bottle of Ciroc Coconut and a bottle of Moet Rose’ to celebrate their first time in NYC. Bottle service in BK was a lot cheaper than what we would have paid in Chicago. Once we started drinking we found out we could do some hookah back there so we definitely got that going in addition to the drinks. As the nite went on I started to get hungry as there was a food smell in the air. I looked over in the corner and saw a guy setting up heating stations for food. I wound up hotting him up for some chicken over rice to soak up the dranks in my stomach.
Good spot just a few blocks from the Barclays Center off of the Atlantic Ave stop in Brooklyn.

Went here for a B-​Day party it was nice especially the outdoors back area. The main portion of the club when you walk in is ok in size but a little on the small size. There is a bar on the left hand side. The beauty of this place is the outside towards the back. It was midnight when I got there but you can see the beauty in the décor. It’s nice to lounge back there and have a drink. They allowed my friend to set up for her party. We got our eat on and drink on and danced the night away.

I attended an engagement party and a live show celebrating Haitian artists unplugged this past Saturday.
I have to say that this is a very relaxed spot. The outdoor section of the lounge gives me a caribbean feel as if I was watching the artist perform under the stars. I love the outside décor. It is a great spot to attend a chilled out event or performance.
Full Service Bar with flat screen TVs.
Now there is something that is definitely missing and that is FOOD… Management you have to have some time of food menu or finger food menu — then it would all be complete!

I absolutely love that this space is owned and operated by my fellow countryman… Haiti is in the house. I love this place from the name to the logo and the overall look of the lounge. It’s a fusion of Haitian and American cultures, which really works. I loved both the indoors and outdoors. I wish they served food, at least appetizers or hors d’oeuvres, but I am still brainstorming a few way to use the space for special occasions like a milestone birthday. I have already claimed it as my place to unwind.
