http://www.bembe.us A refreshing break from the trendy Williamsburg hipster scene, this cozy brick-walled lounge is a relaxing place to enjoy sweet island-flavored drinks early in the evening. As the night goes on, Bembe heats up with DJs spinning multicultural beats, often accompanied by hand percussionists, while a diverse and chic crowd dances with abandon.

Blue Lounge cemented its reputation as a happy hour joint by offering $2 pints of Guinness (Ya!) along with other drafts. In case you pass it, itas the place with the blue lights everywhere. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
The mini shuffle bowling alley here may be single-handedly responsible for crowded Friday and Saturday nights. Most of the people here dress/look the same (carefully dirty) and the barabare and decor-lessafeels pleasantly familiar. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.bogotabistro.com If feels like summer all the time at the Nuevo Latino boA(r)te Bogota, where the walls are painted vibrant shades of pink and the restaurant opens onto a sunny garden patio out back. The drink menu, available at the bar up front (and at the tables when business is slower), features a pan-Latin list of drinks that covers multiple countries in two pages: caipirinhas ($6), classic mojitos ($6), margaritas ($6) not made from a mixaand all appear to come in fruit flavors like mango and passion fruit for a few dollars more. Sangria here is more a mix of tropical fruit macerated in wine or sometimes a mixture of wine and cachaca. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
You may need to hire a private detective to find the enigmatic and hidden Boogaloo Bar. The '60s-retro sci-fi-looking lounge seems more in step with the chic L.A. scene or a velvet-rope Manhattan clique than the dark and dirty underbelly of the J/M/Z tracks in Williamsburg. Inviting, yet too clinical to be comfortable, the all-white rooms are framed with rounded hobbit-hole archways and bar counters and tables accented by mysterious spot lighting; Alex and his droogies (see A Clockwork Orange) would fit right in among the unlikely sprinkling of hipsters and the slight air of seediness. DJs spin nightly. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.brazenheadbrooklyn.com Although Brazen Head is not a restaurant, manager Lou Sones brings food (the majority of it homemade) into the bar daily: Tuesdaysafreshly grilled chicken wings; Sundaysabagels and cream cheese; Saturdays aastew with Loua (or when Lou doesnat have time to make stew, some other purchasable treat). The lovable Irish pubafour years oldasupplements its cafeteria-like food schedule with daily discounts and drinks. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.brooklynalehouse.net Brooklyn Ale House is a solid bet for a romantic Billyburg dive bar. Why? Because there are no TVs. That means your paramour won't be constantly looking over your shoulder to catch the score or some other lame thing. We also like the genuine pub-like atmosphere and cheap pours.

http://www.brooklynbowl.com Basically, Brooklyn Bowl is the Pimp My Ride of music venues. It has a 16-lane bowling alley with big-ass HD TV screens situated above the pins. "Rock. And Roll. Fries" and the "Really Sloppy Joe" are on the Blue Ribbon-supplied menu. And they book wonderfully odd and unexpected novelty shows such as Lebowski Fest, the Regional Air Guitar Championships, and Snoop Dogg. Most of the time, however, the Bowl brings out the latest in indie rock, punctuated by seasonal specialties like Questlove's weekly DJ residency. Their couches are really comfortable, too.

http://www.brooklynbrewery.com The Brooklyn Brewery has grown quite a bit since The Village Voice awarded the Williamsburg brewhouse "Best Brewery Tour" in 2002. Now, its lager is nearly ubiquitous and the brewery produces a variety of craft, seasonal, bottle-refermented, and specialty "Brewmaster’s Reserve" beers. Brewmaster Garrett Oliver is deeply knowledgeable and has become somewhat of a beer-celebrity, presiding over an operation that is the largest exporter of craft beer in the US. The brewery tours make for an excellent survey of Brooklyn's manufacturing process--they are a spritely mix of brewery history, massive tanks and cauldrons, and, of course, drinking. Brooklyn's half-block of industrial warehouse spaces are marked off by its massive, bright-red doors on North 11th Street. The bare but spacious tasting hall is warmed up by wooden beams, picnic tables, and, on the weekends, throngs of people. The brewery's popularity means the open tasting room and free, first-come, first-serve tours on Saturday and Sunday get busy. For a more intimate look, try one of the 30 person "small batch" tours from 5-7PM on Monday through Thursday ($8). Be sure to buy a ticket well in advance. Outside food is encouraged for noshing, and on Friday there are no tours, just drinking that freshly tapped cask. --Alex Spoto Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Want to join a club? Want to be the cool cat who can smoke on the back porch with the owners or be the sly lady who gets a sprig of rosemary added to her tall cocktail at the bat of an eyelash? Iad go just for the Rat Packameets-art-deco atmosphere (pressed tin ceiling and all), but you should for the special treatment and the chill crowd at this Italian social club-gone-public watering hole. Whazzat, doll? You got a sweet tooth? Order a ginger old-fashioned, muddled with sugar and cherries. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Brooklyn Tavern is a bar for all seasons. Warm yourself by the fireplace during the winter or barbeque in the garden (bring your own meat, theyave got a grill!) all summer long. The dark wooden space is pleasingly unpretentious with cheap beer, a middling jukebox (that features both Billy JoelasGreatest Hits and the Pixiesa Doolittle), comfy overstuffed armchairs, and a large covered patio for the smokers. Its proximity to BAM would make you think that its swarming with theatergoers, but most nights the bar is dotted with young locals watching the game or enjoying the $2 Bud Lights.

http://www.bushwickcountryclub.com A tarnished, downtownish mockery of the khaki-clad suburban establishment, Bushwick Country Club lives up to its name with dingy chandeliers and a miniature golf course featuring a windmill barrier constructed from PBR cans. Like the Club back home, membership has its privilegesanamely, drink specials. But a simple request wonat get every sucker a gold membership card. Current members have to refer potential newcomers, so sit back and make friends at the bar. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
One street from Prospect Expressway (and a long hike from the F train), parking spots near Buttermilk are relatively easy to snag. Smugly dingy, the bar is another of Andrew Benedict and Scott Fredrickas sign-less dive success stories (the duo also owns Great Lakes and Boat). With cheep beer and distant highway squeals, itas easy to forget youare inside a blossoming chain. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
This unpretentious Greenpoint dive, located in the shadows of the BQE, is a nice break from the surrounding areaas hipster gentrification. Knock back some cheap Buds, play the lotto, and enjoy a bad cover band on the weekend, surrounded by old-timey regulars who probably donat know who the Strokes are.

Perfect for the schizophrenic sports fan, Carriage Inn has a lot of TVs, and on Sundays, each are tuned to a different game. Have another more active personality? Don't worry, there's pool. Oh yea, and karaoke. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.thecharlestonbar.com One of the few bars on Bedford that's nearly always empty, the Charleston has no real scene, though factoring in the price of its beers, it should have the best party on the block. The bar features occasional bouts of live music that could double as amateur shows, but it might be a good place to break in your little sister's band. With the shows taking place in the basement, the first floor remains a good place to hold a conversation. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Vying to be one of Flatbush Avenueas destination spots is this dimly lit (?!) venture housed in a former lighting fixtures store. The friendly waitstaff and bartenders are the jointas shining stars, and highlights include a variety of beers like Stella Artois ($5; stay tuned for rotating aguesta tap beers in the future) and a well-made, spicy Bloody Mary ($5) that, paired with some good eats like the chocolate chip pancakes from the weekend late-night menu, will make you glow with delight.

Williamsburg hipsters can let their hair down and let the air out at this little hangout. The long mahogany bar stretches the length of the room surrounded only by bar stools as tall, full-wall windows on the front wall let light in and balance out the dark wood. Try an ironic cocktail like the Patriot, which is a can of beer with a shot of whiskey. Thereas no lounge area so either stand or capture a bar stool but get in quick.
