The long awaited and highly anticipated remake of the Casablana Cocktail Lounge at 300 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bed Stuy soft opened Friday. The official opening party is Thursday night.
Owners Charles von Herrlich and Jonn Carlson — the artist-owner of Noho’s Von bar and the artist-designer who built Bed-Vyne Brew — kept the Permastone facade but put in new doors and windows (although they’re hard to see under the security bars). Inside, there is a vintage feel and the old Casablanca Lounge sign decorates the bar. Click through for some interior pics we shot through the window this morning.
“Good drinks, tunes and peeps,” according to a neighbor who commented on Facebook.

I met some friends there on Friday night at their soft opening. The cocktails were good, the music was good, the conversation was good. It’s my favorite new spot in the neighborhood.
