Zaarly NYC: Perfect place for a late dinner and night of dancing! Ask for the Sapphire-Seventy Five or the Emerald Gimlet, two of my favorites!

Krishna Ram: The calpico gin fizz! The owner, Kenta makes amazing drinks - try the cucumber cooler as well!
Ross WS: Kenta Goto of Pegu Club fame is behind this New York venue. Expect easy Japanese food, craft cocktails, and a thoughtful selection of beer, wine and sake
Natalie V: Okonomiyaki is so good! We liked the carnivore one a lot. Wings and celery are also great. The sake nectar cocktail and Yuzu calpico are my favs. BF likes the sazerac and jersey kilt.

Jordan Lott: Lennon is the best mixologist from Portland or Seattle, can't remember exactly! But he's my favorite hipster in Williamsburg.
Jon Steinback: if it's nice out, grab an outside table, bask in the moonlight and gentle manhattan breeze, and order some oysters and wine.
Raphael Langenscheidt: Never too crowded, with bar tenders that are always ready to make a killer Manhattan. Personal favorite.

Andrew D.: Superior mixology, The Old Palamino. Sit at the back bar
Joelle: Pear gimlet with gin, not vodka
New York PR: Wasn't a fan of the Bloody Mary, but the bartender is a pro mixologist. No almond milk or soy milk for lattes. The white salad on the appetizer menu was excellent and enough for a meal.

Jack Gashi: Try the Bartender's Choice. Give them a spirit and a flavor profile and let them work the magic
Paola Guerrero: Cute speakeasy, with old-timey style cocktails. I like anything with elderflower in it, and the mixologist is really dope about concocting something unique that reflects your palate.
Jason Brew: Fun new speakeasy on Clinton street. Great place to grab a cocktail if you're waiting for a table at one of the nearby spots. Try the 1933 if you like rum cocktails
