Wander up to the tip-top of Greenpoint and slip into this dark, red-candle-lit bar just a block away from the Pulaski Bridge. Grab a tallboy of PBR and enjoy music that is probably too loud for you to seriously use the word "enjoy." Saint Vitus might get called a metal bar by some, but really, trying to label the bar is problematic. After all, its decor is made up of wood floors, dead flowers, stained glass, and inverted crosses. Most nights, you'll catch a crust-punk band playing in the back room.

With all due respect to venerable Brooklyn hesher haunts like Greenpoint's Palace Café, South Williamsburg's jukebox-crusher Duff's, and Park Slope's pentagram-pit Lucky 13 Saloon, six-month-old Saint Vitus kills 'em all.
