Outpost is located at the nexus of four amazing Brooklyn neighborhoods. Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, Bedford Stuyvesant and Crown Heights.
Outpost is most easily accessible from the C or G trains at Clinton-Washington Avenues. From either station, we’re just a quick jaunt along Fulton Street.
Driving to Outpost is almost as easy. Take the Manhattan Bridge and follow Flatbush Avenue for approximately a mile until you reach Fulton Street. Turn left and proceed 1.5 miles. Outpost will be on your right.
