Cassel Kroll: On a winter's night, there's nothing better than a Mr. Howell. Smokey from the scotch, sweet from the maple syrup. Perfect.
The Wall Street Journal: Standout cocktails include the Mr. Howell ($9), with single-malt scotch, aged rum, lime juice, and maple syrup. Try it with a grilled cheese sandwich, which stacks up with the best in Brooklyn. Read more.
Barry Hott: They serve great oysters every weekend. Get some east coast and west coast bivalves.

Kimmie Ohh: Get the “Word” cocktail - scotch, jalapeño tequila, maraschino, green chartreuse, lime & bitters. Cute backyard for outdoor seating!
Alex Miller: Perfect for a weekday night. Get a cocktail or a beer and share a heaping bowl of fries with your friends. The narrow bar corridor can get crowded during peak hours.
Serious Eats: With cocktails, beer, and $1 oysters daily until 7pm, the Narrows is a Bushwick favorite that also features a welcoming backyard and a handful of late-night snacks.

Mary Ann Caram: Gastronauts ate here! If available, check out the hen or squab. And although the pickled pig's parts are delicious, beware of the Scotch Bonnet. That's one spicy pepper. Hachi mama!
Michelle Wiles: Yummy brunch spot. Breakfast nachos are #1
Alex Rainert: I highly recommend going double porky: start with the pork belly tacos (homemade tortillas + guacamole are slamming) and end with the Heritage pork. Oink!
