From classic dive bars to trendy rooftop spots, here are a few of my favorite spots to go out in Brooklyn
Map
Two-story bar in Bushwick with a great rooftop space and a solid burger. You’ll find me here every week during the summer!
Vacations
Spacious dive bar in Williamsburg with a backyard space serving larger than life margaritas and giant goblets of beer for less than $5
Rocka Rolla
Honkey-tonk-themed dive bar in Williamsburg with live music and cheap beers
Skinny Dennis
You’ll find the best frozen cocktails in town at this kitschy, nautical-themed bar in Williamsburg. Their fried chicken sandwich’s always hit the spot at the end of a late night.
The Commodore
Small but well-designed cocktail bar in Bushwick with solid $8 cocktails during Happy Hour
Yours Sincerely
KCBC’s brewery and taproom in Bushwick is a great daytime hangout spot, with beers you can’t find anywhere else in the city
Kings County Brewing Collective
This Cobble Hill bar is a Brooklyn landmark with a solid burger and is a low-key spot for a special occasion or even a celebrity sighting
The Long Island Bar
70s-themed dive bar on the outskirts of Bushwick that was recently seen in the film ‘Materialists’
