You were tipped in October. Now it’s time to toast the opening of 124 Old Rabbit Club, the newest nightlife jewel by Ravi DeRossi (Death & Company). Expect a posh, Euro-style beer hall with 20 different brews by the bottle and 3 rotating taps.

Speaking of beer halls, Williamsburg’s much-hyped Czechoslovakian, 4,500-square-foot beer hall Radegast, opens this Friday. Named for the Slavic god of hospitality, Radegast will offer 13 beers on tap, 41 by the bottle, and lots of Czech comfort food (view the menu). Did we mention the retractable roof?
