Sunny’s Bar: Bluegrass Jams in Redhook

Sunny’s is in the same part of Redhook with the Ikea and Fairway. But unlike them, Sunny’s has no glowing neon sign or monsterous parking lot. (and Sunny’s doesn’t give me a panic attack). It’s a building with a sign that simply says “bar” that would be easy to miss,

No, You Quizz Off: Trivia Night at Pete’s Candy Store
