Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014This dark corner bar specializes in retro cocktails at retro prices, and, believe us, they're strong. Read more
Elliott PoppelMay 26, 2020Order: Spicy fried chicken sandwiches, nachos, micheladas, and dancing.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Ralph JonesApril 26, 2018Fried chicken and biscuits were great, beer great, atmosphere great, Cadillac nachos sucked.
My favorite bar. Period. Fried chicken is even better than Pies-N-Things. Yeah, I said it. If it's Friday night and I'm not out of town, I'll be here, feel free to say hi.
Jessica BishopSeptember 1, 2014The fried chicken was probably the best I've ever had. The biscuits and honey butter are heavenly. I already can't wait to come back!
Becca BaeFebruary 1, 2017The drinks are great but the fried chicken here is stuff of the gods. Put some honey butter on it, you're welcome.
Men's Health MagSeptember 23, 2011A grimy bar with the best Micheladas you’ve ever had. Fried chicken and rolls come with 3 kinds of honey butter to help you slide into a booze-fueled, deep-fried dream.
Piña coladas, cans of beer and diner staples. Get shitcanned and dance to rock n' roll.
TiffanyApril 4, 2016Fried chicken was so good and crispy. The thighs are huge and comes with a honey butter and hot sauce.
The gooey grilled cheese is also real good. Nachos are fools' gold. If I have to talk about the fried chicken, then you lost.
The old school drinks. The food that is way better than it has any business being. You'll have a fun night here.
The jukebox is non-functional but respect that they pipe the PA through its speakers. Also, the boat drink is strong and cheap and recommended.
Corin LianidesJune 27, 2010Get the fried chicken. Just get it. It is incredibly delicious, crispy, & juicy, and enough for 2 people to share, easy. The biscuits with honey butter that come with it are killer, too. Get it.- John MichaelFebruary 23, 2015Best "value" cocktails in williamsburg. Fried chicken sandwich is great for a dirty first date.
Hands down best fried chicken I've had in New York. Commodore cocktail is just okay though
Fried chicken and nachos of course. Also a frozen drink of some sort - probably just one though. Then pitchers of beer with those snacks.
antonio coltraneJuly 16, 2011I recommend ending your night here by ordering their namesake drink, the commodore. Its so ridiculous in appearance and alcoholic content that you're guaranteed to leave with a smile
MarthaMarch 22, 2015i love the look of the room where the bar is. bartenders are super friendly. recommended.
My favorite bar in Williamsburg. Beer is cheap, the cocktails are strong, and the fries are to die for. ORDER FRIES!
So dive-y but SO good! Three words: Hot chicken breast. Two words: Cadillac Nachos. One word: Biscuits. Nuff said.
Get the fried chicken plate and smear the honey butter all over the chicken. Hot fish is DAMN SPICY!
Zii HammadApril 15, 2015Good beer, nice bartenders, and delicious hot chicken breast sandwiches. Can be pretty packed, but just go for it.
Madison SJuly 12, 2015Best piña coladas ever. Generally, I won't drink pina coladas unless I am on vacation but the ones here are amazing.
Mike BodgeAugust 15, 2011The weirdest restaurant in the city, order a boat drink and some fried chicken from the bar. Find a place to sit and wait (for a while) and work on your sugar hangover.
Grab a hurricane and don't be afraid to walk through the kitchen to the outdoor patio
Jarel HillMay 21, 2017Best fried chicken I've had. And really great pina colada. Some surly-ass waitresses though.
Wish they were lighter on the batter, but the fried chicken is damn good. Honey butter is the best spread ever for the biscuits.
Jon CarneroJanuary 6Cool space but dark as hell. Watch your step. Also, surly bartenders (coming from an ex-bartender)- Brunch is awesome! Be sure to get the hash brown. It's a nice flat disc of potato crispiness.
Of a KindAugust 17, 2011Kalen Kaminski and Astrid Chastka—the duo behind dye-happy line Upstate—swear by the fried chicken and frozen drinks. To read more about these two, head on over to ofakind.com.
melissa HochmanAugust 23, 2014Solid dive where ya drink THE BEST piña coladas 🙌 OH and wash your face with the biscuit butter mmbaby
Jessica KimSeptember 17, 2013Two words...honey butter. Fried chicken was good - burning hot, but good. That honey butter was something else though.
The fried chicken/biscuits are enough for two hungry or three snackie people and delicious as hell. The burger is not to be missed, wit' cheese!, and the fries are perfect.
Get the Commodore, the queso and the biscuits- Great bartenders, weird crowd!- Natalie YoungSeptember 21, 2016Be prepared to not be able to find a seat and receive extra shitty service. After you've come to terms with that, order the chicken sandwich or the burger. They will make up for everything else.
Get here before it gets extremely crowded. And get the fries chicken with a gin based cocktail.
Nao MizAugust 31, 2012Good things happen here. Good fried chicken happens here. Plus they play Spaceballs on TV. What more can I ask for?
Food RepublicJune 4, 2012One of our favorite dive bars. Order the fried chicken, order some beer, sit outside. No need to leave. Ever.
Sip a million Commodores and eat the ridiculously good burger, fried chicken, and nachos. This place is so annoyingly hipster but the food never disappoints.
Low key local bar. Great crowd, good vibe, and solid fried chicken.
Fried Chicken platter (comes w/ 3 pieces of chix and 3 biscuits), mac & cheese, and kale. Delicious!
The fried chicken is great, but their MVP is their special cocktail menu printed on their paper table mats.
Cheapest pitchers in Williamsburg and a pinball machine set to free play - no brainer here people.
