Sean Kershaw & The New Jack Ramblers in Time Out New York
Hank’s Saloon

The performers stand mere inches from the audience-Hank’s owners simply
push away the pool table to make room for the bands that play from Thursday
to Sunday-but nobody seems to mind. Local acts (in a rootsy-rockabilly vein)
such ass the Coffin Daggers and Reid Paley provide the entertainment, though
the odd touring band-most recently the enchanting Black Lipstick from Austin,
Texas-has been known to drop by. Don’t miss Sean and Daria’s Country
BBQ and Jamboree every Sunday, when the joint literally gets cooking: Hank’s
wheels out the Weber while Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Rambler’s fire
up the crowd. With a jukebox stocked with Merle, Dolly and the Gun Club, and
the light snuffed out by a black tin ceiling, Hank’s is the ne plus
ultra of cool neighborhood hangouts.- EV 46 Third Ave at Atlantic Ave,
Boerum Hill (718-625-8003). Subway M,N,R,W to Pacific St; Q, 1, 2, 4, 5 to
