Inga's Bar occupies the corner of 66 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights in a room that has the particular amber warmth of a place that has stopped trying to be anything other than a neighbourhood bar. The cocktail list is short and made well; the windows face the street in a way that makes the room feel connected to the block without requiring the block to come inside. Brooklyn Heights is one of the oldest and most residential of the Brooklyn neighbourhoods — its streets are tree-lined and without the self-consciousness of more recently developed areas — and Inga's fits this context without comment. Come on a weeknight when the room is at its own pace.
