chin1ta: really chill spot for outdoor beers and tunes
A Del: Amazing outdoor space that feels like a backyard. V low-key and relaxed space to grab some beers (Porkslap is a personal fave) and great food.
Tim Hettler: This incredibly chill & spacious space is great for groups and families. A food truck offers bar fare (and ice cream), and there's ping pong table in back.

Alex Mcquiston: Great spot with cozy seating and decent prices for a snazzy cocktail menu. Good vibe, good crowd, and all around good stuff. They don't take credit card yet.
Gothamist: Check out the newest Ridgewood bar, The Keep. It's part drinking hole, part anthropological treasure trove, and covered with stuff from all over the world. Drinks are $6 and small plates are served. Read more.
Joslyn Hansen: Cozy and quirky, with surprisingly good cocktails.
Elisa: The poutine is legit and comparable to Montreal!! Really great staff, restaurant has a ton of seething, great option for before/after events at the stadium.
Brew York: Forest Hills bites its craft beer chops on this spot serving 16 taps, a rotating cask engine, a bottle selection that’s two dozen deep, and a gut-busting gastropub-inspired food menu.
MrsChefJillian: Try the specials! Exec chef is cute

Tyler Caine: Hip new spot, great scene, solid menu... But I'm biased
Tony Xerri: Personally, it's a refinement of local favorite, Sweet Afton. Two bars means less clutter and the cocktails are still top notch. Also a plus, extra restrooms and spacious interiors. Good job guys!
Ari F: The beer selection and drinks are good, but why do bars feel the need to be this loud?

Alchemiq Catering: Great music venue with hanging stage!
Gant Powell: Great place to sit in the sun and bask with a beer or two. We had a big group with no problem, tons of seating available. The grill food was tasty and basic, which in my opinion is perfect.

Jineen Carcamo: The backyard is awesome, great for hanging out with a few friends or just chilling by yourself with a book and a beer. And it's bring your own food!
Alfred M.: this is a great bar. perfectly appointed and a nice backyard. they're cool with you ordering food from milkflower or anywhere and eating it in the bar.
Tony Xerri: This is a great place to raise an ar,y while the real Big Boss is out and about creating Outer Heaven. Fulton a few beers to the gut and make sure you're wearing an eye patch at all times.
