Victor LemacheOctober 7, 2016Nice little corner bar to go after dark. They make great Cuban sandwiches here and the drinks are good too. They give you a nice little postcard when your done paying the bill.
emeFebruary 21, 2015Been here for brunch. Tasty Cuban (beware- it comes on a roll) and awesome fish tacos. Nice brunch cocktails. Love the Beach Dad. Service is slow though so do not come here in a hurry.
The Croque Señora: a Cuban sandwich, Croque Madame hybrid on a soft, sweet brioche bun... After just a few bites, I knew that I'll soon get cravings for this thing. Highly recommended!
First We FeastAugust 4, 2014At $10 each, the cocktails are also way better than they need to be, especially the Mi Corazon—a twist on a piña colada that balances spicy Fresno peppers with coconut puree, cachaca, and lime juice. Read more
From the guys who brought you Five Leaves. Excellent cocktails - try the Smokalada or slushy of the day if you're feeling fun. Fish tacos might be the best in NY.
jessica m. hintermeisterJune 18, 2012@ this Latin-Caribbean-themed joint, frozen margaritas are available nightly, + a frozen drink of the day, like cachaça & mango Hora de Festa, a pisco sour that substitutes coconut cream for egg white
really fast to sit inside, great views of the street, food value is good when considering the 1st two points, have drinks here while waiting for five leaves
- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015This triangular bar/restaurant serves excellent margaritas and frozen drinks. Grab a table if you want tacos and ceviche, or hang out at the bar, where the bartenders mix drinks and chat. Read more
Tommi ForsströmApril 21, 2013During brunch, the avocado toast is absolutely killer. Good bread slathered with tons of fresh avocado and chili flakes for $6. Perfect breakfast. Three thumbs up!
Jenny SorensenApril 8, 2015Nights and Weekends is the sister spot to famous Five Leaves just over the road. It's so good for brunch, the weekend DJs and the good vibes. Read more
Nicole CloutierSeptember 26, 2015Service here is always a little clunky...like the kitchen/bar/servers can't really get on the same page. But if you're coming for the frozen raspberry margarita or the frozen daiquiri, you won't care.
- First We FeastAugust 4, 2014Order this: Crispy rock shrimp, spicy chicken wings, fish tacos with mango-habanero salsa Read more
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the tempura-style crispy rock shrimp. Chef Ken Addington tosses them in an aioli flavored with chilies, lime zest and Seville orange. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Such a cozy spot - great for grabbing a few cocktails, bonus: 5 leaves is across the street for dinner afterwards!
César PérezAugust 26, 2012These people really know their way around a bottle of rum! Also, the food is delicious. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Greenpoint.
pinsuda sagooleimJuly 9, 2012T.O.N.Y article says to order the Sun Also Rises cocktail, bar snacks, the mariquitas pie, queso fresco, and tempura style rock shrimp.
Barton SmithJune 25, 2015I dunno what should be ranked #1 for fish tacos in Williamsburg, but it's not this place. Great, cozy interior though.- With the Croque Señora no longer on the menu, Nights and Weekends has definitely dropped a few rungs in the hierarchy of Greenpoint restaurants. But, it's still infinitely better than Calexico.
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended: Crispy rock shrimp, fried shishito peppers, croque senora; Mi Corazon and the Improved Malecon Old Fashioned cocktails. Read more
Emily KaneAugust 13, 2015Waiting outside of Five Leaves for brunch? Walk across the street, the same folks run this place and make a mean huevos purgatorios.
- Derek FlanzraichNovember 9, 2014On a scale from 1 to 10, best fish tacos I've found yet in the city. Crispy, sweet, and satisfying.
Sarah Judd WelchMarch 30, 2013I'm just as surprised as you are - the fish tacos here w/ mango salsa and pickled radishes put tacombi to shame.
Serious EatsApril 17, 2013Jovial bar/restaurant where the punchy food is designed to compliment the drinks, not the other way around.
Mike De LeonJuly 16, 2013Ask the bartender to make u something delicious and trust me when I say they will!!!- Josh MateoAugust 28, 2015Solid chilaquiles for brunch. Try it when Fives Leaves is too crowded and you want to laugh at people waiting 3 hours to eat. 🐳
Angela HuNovember 9, 2013Tequila with a splash of agave, Sister Nancy booming in the background and a handsome one-earring bartender.
Erika LimAugust 17, 2011Chorizo and clams, make sure to soak up as much sauce as you can with the bread.
- Fried shishito peppers and a rum old fashioned make a great late night combo.
Order the frozen drink. Order another one. Then eat the fish tacos.
John GFebruary 9, 2014Can't get into Five Leaves because of the hour wait, no worry, now there's Nights and Weekends by the same people right across the road.
Karen BFebruary 13, 2012Try the Pancho & Lefty - Tequila with spicy honey, fresh squeezed lime juice, and orange bitters!
