Over 111 years of craft on Newkirk Plaza. Expert cuts, hot-towel shaves, and old-school service — walk-ins always welcome.
Our Story
Nestled on Newkirk Plaza in the heart of Flatbush, Brooklyn, Ol' Time Barbershop has been a neighborhood institution for over a century. The shop's historic location — over 111 years on the same plaza — is a testament to the trust the community has placed in its barbers.
AT and his team of master barbers specialize in everything from classic trims and modern fades to precision beard shaping and old-school straight-razor shaves with hot towels and steam. Walk-ins are always welcome, and so are pups — it's that kind of place. LGBTQ+ friendly, neighborhood-proud, and always open to the community.

"AT has been cutting my hair for a few years, and is always extremely welcoming. He listens to the customer, and does quick yet professional work. No appointment needed, just walk in. It's cool that the shop's location is over 100 years old."

"AT has been a godsend and I come in at least every two weeks for a friendly chat and professional cut. I'm particular about my cut and I have three difficult cowlicks to deal with and AT takes care of it all masterfully."

"Yana is an excellent barber — 5-star beard trim. Have had haircuts by Yuriy for two years as well, top notch. This is the kind of neighborhood barbershop Brooklyn needs more of."
