In Short – Close to the J, M, Z, neighbors from all sides of the tracks stop in for this Williamsburg bar's house cocktails and soothing atmosphere. Rich lighting, cushioned group seating, sleek shades of gray and shimmery down-tempo music make for good conversation. Specialty drinks are named for local theaters, past and present--owner Chance Johnston's Commodore is a margarita made with guava juice. A ladder in the corner of the back room leads to an outdoor deck.

what a hot space!

by tapedeckrevival

i have been going to boogaloo since they opened 4 years ago. The bar is still packed though. they are redecorating and making the bar warmer than ever with deep warm reds, and comic book murals (ala rodney ramos, creator of x-men, green lantern, and they sport trans-metropolitan on their wall). i don't know how they do it, in such a non-club location, they fill the gap that southside williamsburg has been lacking in for so long. the bartenders are super super dope, and hot to boot. drink prices are VERYreasonable ($5 beer to $8 nice name-brand cocktail)

it is worth the hop skip and jump from manhatten, go check it out

  • Pros: music, atmosphere, staff

Amazing

by kleenfreek

I'd been hearing about a place called Boogaloo in Williamsburg for a long time before I finally had a look for myself. Now I can't believe I waited so long! This bar has everything that is essential for a perfect night out. I walked in off the rough Brooklyn streets and was instantly blown away by the atmosphere inside. Dark lighting with a subtle glow on the bar and tables. Beautiful design. Beautiful waitstaff!! The lovelies behind the bar greeted me quickly and sold me my first very affordable drink. My first of many affordable drinks... The crowd was lively and mixed. Very open and friendly. Very attractive. There was constant dancing in the backroom. Brilliant DJ. People were chilling out and talking at the bar and on benches. I was told about an outdoor deck that I'll come back to see for sure. The party seemed to last forever...

  • Pros: 1/2 blk from J train, Inexpensive, Good crowd
