S L: The sound is the best at the upstairs lounge and in the elevator. That being said the layout is ok and the staff aren't totally rude. Will only come back for my favorite bands.
AJ Tobey: Nicest and best sounding room to see music in Brooklyn, possibly all of NYC. Take a minute to at least just roam through the posh upstairs lounge / balcony.
Scott Flaherty: Check out the lounges both upstairs and downstairs. Comfy couches, attentive bartenders.

ᴡ Elliot: People rave about it, but I don't get it. Felt more like a LES lounge than a coffee shop.
Lane Rettig: This is like the lost boys land of coffee shops. It's not really a coffee shop. It's an arcade meets bar meets restaurant meets lounge meets event space meets coworking meets... Okay. Good coffee.
Cole Kennedy: Pretty sure this is the epicenter of the 'Williamsburg cool kid' scene. Coffee shop by day, lounge and club by night, awesome all the time.

Peter Bartek: well calibrated cocktails.. unlike Pegu Lounge (which totally sucked)
Ryan Matzner: A nice little speakeasy lounge with a great cocktail selection. Good whiskeys, too. Cheese plate is great, but a small portion.
goop: Slide into one of the leather banquettes or up to the long marble bar for one of the best cocktails on the north side in this old New York feeling tattoo parlor turned cocktail lounge. Read more.

The Corcoran Group: Come to this art deco inspired lounge for the original and seasonal cocktails served by the amazing and sexy Lee. Try a Caufield’s Dream, or a Babushka.
Tavonna Miller: Retro, romantic lounge bar with an extensive shelf of not-your-average/everyday liquors & aperitifs! Perfect place to discover tasty cocktails & new liquors! HIGHLY recommend!
Nicole Formica: Great cocktail bar tucked away in Brooklyn. Back patio is awesome in the summer! Be sure to bring your paper money, they are cash only.

Annie T: Great music. Best ambiance. Try watermelon juice
Jenna Wortham : Found true love on the dancefloor many, many times here.
Like A Local Guide: Great DJs, chilled relaxed multicultural vibe. It's one of the best places to go dancing if you don't like big clubs. Get there early and chill in the hammock with a Mojito. Read more.
