50 Best Bars near Breezy Point

“We’ve been coming here for years. The menu is standard, the beer can be really refreshing, and it’s the right place to go if you want to meet locals. It’s a friendly spot, and the outside seating is lovely!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids and a playground right in front so you can let them play and have your beer!“

“Bar Mario has been on our list for a while. Glad we got to step in. The staff were super warm and welcoming, especially Natalie!! We sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with her along with some of the specials and recommendations for the night. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, so delicious and comforting. Highly recommend the lasagna. A lovely spot, so happy we finally got to try. Will be back soon!“

“Service is always great. But the quality of the veggie burger has gone downhill :( They use a different type of veg patty now that isn't as tasty. And always seems to be very overcooked or undercooked to the point that it's inedible. I really hope they bring back the old ingredients because it used to be my fav dish to order!“

“when my husband and i had our civil ceremony we decided to come to Elsa’s for drinks with close friends and family. let me tell you, it did not disappoint. we decided to ring in the new year at this special place and once again, it was amazing. great cocktail, service, and atmosphere.“

“One of the rare bastions of what NYC was and still holding strong by people like Richard. I’m only annoyed I just discovered it in the last year. I was told it’s been ten years since they opened. Get there early and be prepared to wait. Worth the wait. I have yet to have had a bad night and I now try to make it often.“

“Love the place! I live n baltimore and every time im in town…i go. Friendly environment. Beautiful inside. Love their wines. Great place!“

“Came here to meet up with friends on a Thursday night (9/29). I had a blast with the staff behind the bar, the staff walking around clearing the tables and person behind the desk after you show the door person your ID. I enjoyed my drinks, green daiquiri shots for the table and not to mention the DJ!!!!!! The DJ did not miss a beat LITERALLY. My eight girlfriends and I were dancing unapologetically and barely sat in our seats. They had complimentary water set up near the food truck order window. Pizza was a great fit with the drinks. 10/10 for sure, loved the random dance battles and participation by the staff. Since we had a large party size, the staff helped arrange/combine tables so we could be comfortable and sit with one another. In my best Terminator impression I'LL BE BACK lol Love this place, what a gem in Brooklyn. Bonus : Nev from Catfish was there having a blast as well!“

“Honeycomb in Park Slope feels like the kind of place you stumble into on a night when you’re not looking for anything in particular — and somehow find exactly what you needed. The room is dim in a comforting way, the kind of light that softens the edges of the day. Music drifts through the space with the clarity of a private thought, never competing, just existing alongside you.
The cocktails come out unhurried, each one balanced in that subtle way that makes you think someone actually cared when they made it. People speak softly, almost as if everyone collectively agreed that this small bar deserved a gentler kind of conversation.
There’s nothing flashy here, nothing trying too hard — and maybe that’s why it stays with you after you leave. Honeycomb is simply a place where the night unfolds at its own pace, and for a little while, so do you.“

“Union Hall is one of the best venues we have ever performed at. Not only is it a fun and charming place, the staff are super hospitable, friendly, and accommodating. From planning to execution, Nora and Neel were very courteous and helpful. On the day of, Erin, Neel, and even the security guard Danny let us in an hour before our contract stated and helped us get set up early. Nothing but compliments and recommendations for these guys!“

“The Crown Inn is an exceptionally wonderful neighborhood bar - everyone who works there is warm, friendly, and helpful. This is a great gathering spot any time of the year and an utterly unpretentious and welcoming place. I love their backyard and the bar offers NA choices like Athletics and other brands for any non-drinkers. So happy this place exists! A true neighborhood watering hole where there is always a great vibe.“

“Creative fun dishes and bev list.“

“They don’t really have food so no rating on that. Great local vibey place. Lots of seating indoor and out, even if it’s a small place. Great DJs and music. People actually dance even though it’s not a club. Security is nice. More of a grab a drink with friends place and listen to music than cocktail bar or club. My go to place on Fulton. Swing by the halal cart after in front of the Franklin station.“

“Very hip spot to work from or just to hang with friends in the lounge area. We had a couple light snacks (fries and beer salad) one night which were good. Breakfast items were average. Avoid the matcha, it was the clumpiest I've ever had and had to throw it out as it was not drinkable.“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Great place! Great drinks and eats! Great vibe! Highly recommend!“

“This is a cool spot and often has a great crowd. You can catch the football games on the projector. Please be warned, they force a 20% gratuity on your bill even just sitting at the bar. Maybe they do this because people don't enjoy tipping for extremely slow service which you will probably encounter. (The bartender with the glasses is pretty good though) On top of that, they nickel and dime you with a 2.5% credit card surcharge. I have never seen that at a bar before.“

“Great atmosphere, great service, and good drinks.“

“Best Bloody Mary! Best Saturday play list! Great bar! ❤️“

“Altar is a hidden gem in Brooklyn. It is such a quaint space that is packed with well crafted cocktails and some of the best small bites in Brooklyn. Altar has a very distinct personality and you will notice it upon entering. First timers will really feel like they have discovered something special and will definitely be back.“

“​Nestled in this beautiful neighborhood, this bar is a true gem. The atmosphere is immediately captivating, with a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe setting the stage for a cozy and eclectic experience. Every corner seems to tell a story, leading you from the intimate indoor seating to a fantastic 'patio' that's perfect for a relaxed evening or hot late afternoon. The variety of beers on tap is great, offering local craft brews to international favorites. What truly elevates this place, however, is the barman. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, he makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can lose track of time ;)“

“The great spirit and friendly vibes, the great music and brilliant beer!“

“This place really lived up to the hype - all the food was fantastic esp the ricotta crostina, meatballs, rigatoni, and the rice balls, but everything was above average. Additionally service was great, and very lively fun atmosphere, plus it was really warm given how cold its been recently. All and all i think its a great place to take a group of 8 or more for reasonably priced italian food that has above average taste. I will definitely be back.“

“I stopped into Gold Star today for an early lunch and was absolutely blown away by how amazing the grilled cheese with tomato soup was! Best grilled cheese I have ever had. I paired it with the dark lager they had on tap and man oh man - was it the perfect combo. 5 Stars for Gold Star!“

“Incredible selection of craft beer. Great vibe, close to many great places to eat, the Barclay Center, Gowanus. Heated outdoor beer garden.“

“A super welcoming, special gem: cheap drinks, great service and awesome indie arcade games. What else could you want? I turned up solo on a Monday night: there were bands playing, staff were super friendly and it all cost not even enough to make the minimum card spend. 100% would recommend, and I’d even travel to come back here on my next visit.“

“Great neighborhood bar in Boerum Hill. Not to be missed!“

“Great place with good cocktails and very good service!“

“The BEST selection of craft beers, charming atmosphere and excellent selection of to gos as well. Great location near other breweries. The owner Shane has long history of curating a fun local experience with the best taste of beers unparalleled in the area.“

“I love this place for the affordable drinks and excellent entertainment provided by various talented Drag Queens and Drag Kings. Happy Hour is pretty cool. There’s stuff going on most nights. They have a Pool Table too and I believe starting a tournament soon.“

“Celebrated my birthday there and it was a great time! Gyuszi was very communicative and supportive throughout the scheduling process. The happy hour deals were a hit with everyone who came. Overall was a wonderful experience and I would totally book here again.“

“Great place for drinks - solo, date night or girls night out. This spot was recommended to us by the owner of Lowerline and the vibes were immaculate. Very cozy, sexy and intimate. Lots of couples were on dates but also a great spot to catch up with a friend with good cocktails! The jazz music playing in the background was a nice touch for me! This felt like a hidden gem and will be back!“

“Bro They Created Like The Best Matcha I’ve Ever Had In My Life 😭 If yall come here. PISTACHIO Matcha Iced w Oat Milk. That shit is crazy. Life changing, It was so good I had to walk in and ask the manager the recipe for this. But I recommend anybody to try this if you trying to get into matcha“

“This is my go to after work spot during the week to catch up with friends. Happy Hour is usually until 7pm and drink cocktails cost approx. $10. The bartenders are more like mixologists as the quality of drinks is far better than your average bar. Truffle fries are great, recommend.“

“Great food great drinks awesome sound.“

“The food is spectacular, of course, but the service is equally spectacular. They are courteous and friendly - Michael went to a great deal of trouble to ensure our order was delivered in time for a "big" birthday. Five stars plus!“

“Last month we held a surprise birthday party for my daughter there and it was great! The staff was great, the drinks were amazing, and the manager was incredible. She was very accommodating and welcoming. Give her a raise!! I’ll definitely be back! Their double margaritas are LIFE!“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“Best little chill neighborhood bar. Really good drinks with fresh ingredients. They make their own juice. Good snacks at decent prices. Skylight so you don’t have to sit in the dark in the daytime. They also have outdoor seating. A dollar off beer and wine happy hour until 8 o’clock They also started serving brunch recently. Highly recommend if you’re close by.“

“Lovely place. Photo booth and strong drinks!“

“This is one of those places that makes NYC such a great city. We saw the Arun Ramamurthy trio here and it was an amazing night. The staff are wonderful and the music was incredible, the space is very intimate, it feels like you're in someone's living room, and the ticket prices are affordable. I will definitely be coming back here.“

“Absolute gem of a bar with the greatest staff imaginable. We hosted our wedding party here and it was beyond perfect - wonderful space, fantastic drinks, impeccable vibes. Everyone here was so helpful in terms of letting our friends set stuff up, put out food, etc. Serious thanks to the folks running the place for making it such a special night. It's a wonderful neighborhood bar, and if you're thinking of it for an events space, I don't think you could find something better.“

“I thought it was weird that we were getting crap service for the first time ever… but when Kian told us that he’s just waiting to quit & move back to Ireland in February, it made sense. Good luck giving crap service elsewhere, Kian!“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“Love this place! $68/2 people for 75 minutes—much more affordable than places in Manhattan (for longer, too!). Food is great, great selection of drinks at average prices, and lots of other bar/yard games up front when you finish in the range.“
