For over 100 years, Hank’s Saloon existed, under various names and owners, as a beloved local Brooklyn dive bar.
In 2018, after nearly a decade of speculation and financial uncertainty, the rickety little building on the corner of Third Avenue and Atlantic announced that they would finally be closing their doors for good.
This feature documentary follows Hank’s—along with its colorful staff and rotating cast of oddball patrons—through its stressful and celebratory final months. It also takes a deep-dive into the fascinating history of the building, from its roots as a working-class Irish bar, through its various roles as Prohibition-era speakeasy, Indigenous ironworker hangout, and safe haven in an era of danger and decay, up to its final state as a quintessential “old man bar” turned legendary indie music venue, all pitted against the backdrop of a rapidly changing New York.
