    Ba'sik is a great spot for a Date Night. Pop out to the back patio once the weather warms up for tasty drinks (don't miss the Poppa's Pride), and delicious share-worthy snacks.

    Set in a beautiful space, Ba’sik has a friendly staff and a crowd which is generally the same. There’s a low-key, casual vibe here which is free of pretentiousness. Great food too! Read more

    Live jazz night every Sunday. Lovely outdoor and indoor space to street watch. Drinks are good but pass on the food. Tiny and overpriced.

    Sunday nights feat a Jazz band and is open for other musicians to join and jam. Be sure to give a few bucks when the collection hat goes around, too

    Easily one of the best bars in Williamsburg. Can hangout here for hours and the patio (weather permitting) is amazing. They do everything right!

    Poppa's Pride: bourbon, mint, fresh pressed ginger, lemon. You want this. Drink in the covered backyard garden!

    Ba’sik is a pretty—not precious—bar that could be today’s version of Cheers minus Sam Malone and plus Jay Zimmerman and Derrek Vernon. Read more

    They air Game of Thrones on Sunday nights. And their mac & cheese is out of control.

    Get full on sharp cheddar mac and basik dogs (half sour relish, white onion & celery salt). Get boozed on original 'tails like the tequila/Punt e Mes/Velvet Falernum Mea Culpa. Read more
