What people say, in short
Sunken Harbor Club, above Gage & Tollner in downtown Brooklyn, earns praise for cocktails and its theatrical tiki atmosphere. One patron describes flaming drinks and storm effects in a small room; others enjoy the playful nautical setting. Several commenters flag a likely wait, and two describe getting help with an upstairs reservation after dining downstairs. One patron likes it for dates. A visitor also corrects a misleading expectation: this is not a harbor-view bar.
