Miller High Life

“Definitely a (new for me) favorite bar. I love the atmosphere and that this suits a variety of a drinkers. Every time I come there is an eclectic crowd and I love the welcoming environment. Drinks are good and affordable. If you want to lose yourself to the night, go for the coffee thing. You'll have a time, lol Service is fast and efficient. A must stop in this neighborhood. Oh and they have an outdoor section when the weather is nice!“

“A really cool metal bar. There's not much to dislike if you like metal. There's a ton of photos, memorabilia, signatures and more. It's fun to just glance around and see what bands you recognize. There's a fake electric chair in the back too. The drinks are as expected and okay prices. If I lived closer this would be one of my go to bars.“

“Came by on a Friday night and the atmosphere was mellow, decent music and decent prices. would make a good date spot, small intimate interior and close to other spots if you're open to crawl! We had a good time. Love the toy sitting open on the bar for patrons to kill time and start a fun conversation around.“

“Your own little slice of Commodore in Greenpoint! Food is just as good and drinks are also. Cozy little bar with a ski lodge theme and a huge lit up screen of Glacier National Park behind the bar giving off those The Shining Vibes. Backyard and side walk seating as well. The Cadillac Nachos and Queso are classics, the Spinach and Mushroom Quesadilla is a newer addition but one of my favs. The Commodore is the classic Pina Colada. You can do a shot and beer combo with just about anything. Prices can't be beat.“

Food: came in with a group and we got the shrimp tacos, Carne asada taco, guac, cheese quesadilla, and butternut squash quesadilla. Everything was good but I definitely preferred the quesadillas!Service: wasn't too busy when we visited and the staff were very nice and attentive. They had run out of tortillas for burritos and a couple taco meats but our waiter was helpful with suggesting alternativesGood for: casual spot to catch up with friends Inside tips: nothing really, just highly encourage you get the butternut squash quesadilla (:“

“I used to make fun of Tip Top when I'd walk by. Unassuming is an understatement. One night when we were already a bit buzzed we went here as a joke. I can't explain it, but... this bar is kind of magical? Incredible patio. Immaculate vibes. Now it's one of our favorite spots.“

“Pete’s was on my “must-go” list for a long time and my visit turned out to be even better than I had expected. The idea of a bar with random live performances is fantastic. The service was friendly, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the grilled cheese sandwich was absolutely delicious. Overall, it's a wonderful place to spend an evening with friends.“

“This is a cocktail program for people who loves and appreciates a drink that takes into consideration the nuances of flavor. The Freezer Martini rivals and beats the Cold Pizza from DCP. The team loves their job, what they do and it’s clear in how much they appreciate their patrons. Come here, and enjoy the great atmosphere and conversation over some of the best cocktails I’ve had.“

“Cute little dive bar with cool decor! It gave off a hip hotel vibe because of the framed posters on the walls and the red detailing is really pleasing. The drinks were great and the bartenders so personable and attentive, music was also a plus because it seemed to be a mixture rather than just one vibe. My friends and I had a blast and will definitely be coming back!“

“I loved it! My first visit despite leaving in the area and seeing this place. I stopped by on my way back home after missing my train stop because I felt asleep on my way back from work, I had to walk a long distance back to my neighborhood because trains ran on express track due to an unfortunate incident. I was supposed to have only one drink, I chose Moscow Mule. After a long while, I tasted UFO and "kept" Irish Cider, I liked it! Great play music, English and Spanish, I might come back to karaoke tonight despite working tomorrow and getting up st 5:30 am. No food though, only pizza, no kitchen here. Management, how about serving popcorn, "chicharrones" (easy to find in this neighborhood), or any other "salty snack" upon request to keep us drinking??? That's the way we do in Mexico at the "cantinas" (bars"). i don't want to go home just blocks away!!!“

“I love this place! I go here pretty regularly, their crispy chicken sandwich is the best! chill inside, you put a card up when you are ready to order, get the check or have any questions! I usually get their raspberry vodka lemonade and it's amazing! In the summer time they have frozen rose and margaritas which i can't wait to try! Service is good, staff is very friendly and attentive. always very clean, has room for groups, bathroom is clean, filled with graffiti which I love! Cant wait to try their frozen drinks soon. (also their chipotle mayo is my favorite I always get extra)“

“A great neighborhood bar with fun decor (plenty of plants), a great selection of drinks (including non-alcoholic options), board games, and a photo booth. My only complaint is that it seems word has gotten out about this place over the past year, and has become super crowded on weekends. Still, love Pearl's and keep coming back.“

“My friends and I came here to grab a couple drinks before we went to a concert. We expected to just walk in, grab drinks, and leave but the people here were so kind and welcoming we almost skipped our concert to stay for karaoke. George, the owner, did everything in his power to ensure we had a wonderful time! Nena (I believe this is her name), the bartender was also incredible! The drinks are inexpensive. The service is fabulous. Please visit this place!!!!!!“

Starlite Lounge Lounges • $
1213 McDonald Ave, Brooklyn

“Stopped in for a Dewars. It was cheap at $5. Was a light pour and looked a little watered down so it was worth $5. Fair and square. Tipped the pretty russian bartender $1. I guess she appreciated the tip because she started washing classes in front of me giving me a nice eyeful of her ample cleavage. Merry Christmas!! There was an Orthodox Jew and a loudmouth in there besides me -- so it was a mixed crowd. We all got along. The waitress teased the loudmouth about trying to get him excited. He took the bait and said that "with the way you look honey, it wouldn't take much" She thanked him, but said he should be careful or her bodyguard will take offense. He's starts yelling "you mean 'the Freak'? I'm 65 and I know 'the Freak' since we were both 5 years old!". Well you get the idea, it's a cozy relaxed place. I liked it there.“

“As far as dive bars go, Clem's checks off all the boxes. Not too crowded, cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, and the occasional song you can hum along to. I have witnessed this tiny bar full to the brim later on a Friday but on a casual Tuesday it's mostly regulars having a good time. I opted for a few too many glasses of wine here but they seemed to have some unique cocktails on the menu if you're into that.“

Gold Sounds Bar Bar • $

“First a heads up, all the food here is vegan afaik. I am not vegan, but I do love a well prepared vegetable. I got their grilled “chicken” sando and the crunch on the crust was phenomenal! Better than a lot of the actual fried chicken I’ve had. The texture wasn’t very meat like imo, but I honestly prefer that. They use mushrooms for the patty so it’s nice and creamy inside. Everyone was also very nice and the mixed drinks were well made.“
