Best gin (and juice) I've ever had.
Be sure to grab a cocktail at their Shanty bar, opens at 5pm
Super chill, family friendly vibe. Delicious drinks. Live music from 4-6 on Sundays!
Love the lamb and salmon entrees. Ambience food and service are really great here. A+
Tapas menu is sooooo worth it!!
This place is the tits. Amazing drinks, they play phish and obsessed with the atmosphere.
Order taquitos in the back and get a double gin and tonic at the bar, listen to incredible punk bands.
Come see the Cheeseball Comedy show. Third Wednesday of the month.
Best Gin & Tonic
right next to the brewery, good alternative if the brewery is packed. Free shuffle board and cool vibe
If you love whiskey (which you should if you're at fucking whiskey Brooklyn) ask Vinnie or Joel for a Presbyterian. You won't regret it.
It's Sunday evening and happy hour goes til 8. Drinking a strong gin & tonic and was given a token for another one free - $5 total for both. Also, chill vibe, friendly people and dog friendly. Wha??
Get Schmidt-faced!
One of the best oyster selections around. Great absinthe cocktails.

Very beautiful interior. Head to the roof for a cocktail and a beautiful scenic view of NYC.
The rooftop bar is on the 6th floor and has a beautiful view of the city. Go early, catch the sunset, and then jet to a dive bar before the meatpacking-esque crowd arrives.
A T+L Design Awards 2013 winner. Transforming a 1901 building into an industrial-chic hotel, the Wythe is emblematic of Brooklyn's homegrown, craft-centered aesthetic. More: http://tandl.me/WQZ8K3
If the pan roasted chicken is on the menu, get it. The panna cottas and pot au creme are killer too.
lmao if you think Diner isn't amazing.

Super chill bar. Great service. Delectable oysters (I had the "east coast").

They will sell you a BOTTLE of Old Fashioned. That is great! That is horrible!
The pancakes are great but they are huge! The duck hash is very good too!
THICK. ASS. PANCAKES.
Eat all of the things.
Incredible place to see live music. Go early to get in on happy hour. Odds are your favorite band LOVES playing here.
Come to a wedding here.
The best portobello sandwiches I've ever had. Definitely get one!

Very cool, modern atmosphere, and awesome food. Great ceviche, sushi, and sashimi!
Friday and Saturday nights this place turns into a ramen bar from midnight to 2am. It's delicious and the perfect drunk food.
Sit at the sushi bar and let them feed you. Worth every penny
Fantastic Date Night spot with some of the best cocktails you'll find in the area. They may take a little while, but you can enjoy the view of their distilling operation while you wait.
Non-flippant tip: Amazing cocktails. Awesome bartenders and staff. The Holy Mountain from the winter menu is inspired. Ask for something off-menu for fun and let the bartender surprise you.
Try every single cocktail on the menu. (All amazing) Blackout. Forget you even came here and do the same thing two weeks later.
Awesome hidden back patio. You can rent it out for events. Also a few variations of a beer and a shot deal.
