Stopped into this bar on a whim and I had a great time! I sat alone at the bar and met some very cool people and the bartenders were super cool as well. They had a good DJ spinning vinyl and I felt safe and comfortable as a woman alone drinking here.

Bartender Fletcher was so friendly and gave us great recommendations for Williamsburg! And the drinks were great and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for for an afternoon drink.

Visited this charming corner Irish bar during St. Patrick’s Day weekend while in NYC with my wife. Our local friends brought us here specifically, knowing it would deliver an authentic experience away from the tourist-packed celebrations elsewhere in the city.
Despite being a Saturday afternoon of the festive weekend, the place had the perfect atmosphere - lively but not overwhelming. The intimate space had that classic neighborhood pub feel that’s increasingly rare to find in Manhattan.
The Guinness was absolutely stellar - exactly what we were craving for the holiday weekend. Each pint was cold, poured with patience and precision (that crucial two-part pour), and tasted remarkably smooth. None of that bitter aftertaste you get when Guinness is rushed or poured incorrectly.
What made the experience special was enjoying properly-poured pints in a genuine Irish pub with friends who knew the local scene.

One of the best local bars in Williamsburg. Clem’s is perfect for a low key drink with your significant other or a rowdy night with friends and co-workers. Their drink prices won’t crush your bank account and the relaxed, laid back vibe will have you feeling like you’re partying in your best friends home without any of the cleanup. The bartenders are all professional and welcoming. Their outdoor seating on the front and side of the bar make for excellent people watching.

Came here a couple Sundays ago and the bartender Say was the absolute BEST. Would probably give this bar 2 stars but they were so great to the point I felt like I had to write a review about it. Super personable and attentive to everyone. Was having a rough day and they made me feel so much better and it was really fun chatting. Usually that bar is kinda ehhh bc not much is going on and it’s so boring looking. Glad whoever is in charge of hiring finally hired some interesting diverse bartenders! Def recommend going in when they work on Sundays! You won’t regret it!

Great dive bar in Williamsburg. Long wooden bar and have TVs for sports and outdoor seating during the summer. Come as you are kind of bar.

Classic no nonsense NYC dive bar, which has gotten harder and harder to find.

Crecia is one of the best bartenders I have ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! She made a shot that was an entirely new and unexpected!! It was citron vodka w a dash of amaretto!! I never would have thought of that. So delicious!! She rules!!!!
No food just snacks which is fine . Bartenders are lovely and it's a nice old fashioned narrow bar with no TV which is a blessing. It feels like a cozy comfy neighborhood hangout with a few cocktail specials, basic "red/white" wine by the glass and standard spirits. Great so far. What brings it down are the prices. About 50% higher than they should be. 15 a glass for no name $8 a bottle wine and well-liquor drinks. Too bad bc it makes it impossible for it to be a place to hang out get comfortable and have a few drinks. The tab would be too high and better to get a 15 wine at a place with choices and higher quality

Stiiiiif Negronis. No-nonsense bartender(s). They had a pretty good DJ playing Culture Club and Jorge Ben Jor records. A bit loud. Not too crowded.
One of the top 5 in Williamsburg
