Karasu is 'an izakaya hidden in the back of Walter's in Fort Greene,' per The Infatuation's BAM-area dining guide, known for cocktails and karaage and tonkatsu.

Because of nearby showtimes, the guide advises that 'you should probably make a reservation to guarantee that you'll get in and out within your pre-show window,' pointing to reservation-driven demand rather than a walk-in line, especially before BAM performances.
