Fort Greene abounds in bars suitable for a late-evening drink. A cocktail at the minimalist and homey No. 7, is no risk (7 Greene Avenue at Fulton Street; 718-522-6370; no7restaurant.com). Those seeking rougher charms can venture to the Alibi (242 DeKalb Avenue between Clermont Avenue and Vanderbilt Avenue), where there are cheap drinks, a pool table and a crowd that runs equal parts artist and laborer.
The Times discovers Brooklyn, and it accidentally serves as the impetus to get my ramblings going again. Try not to roll your eyes too far back into your head over this description of Alibi; they might get stuck there.
