What to know
Opened to fill a neighborhood void for an easygoing, well-curated bar, Don’t Call Me Shirley was conceived as a living room away from home for Bed‑Stuy locals. The team prioritized a warm interior with a fireplace and a lush backyard that transforms with the seasons, making socializing comfortable and memorable. With a focused drinks program and sharable small plates, the bar aims to be where neighbors meet, dates linger, and regulars feel seen. It matters because in a rapidly changing borough, it anchors community connection through hospitality and thoughtful design.
