What People Are Saying About Larry Lawrence

Citysearch
A long gray hallway off the street leads to a heavy wooden door with an impressive, lofty barroom on the other side. Exposed-brick walls and solid woodwork distinguish the airy space, which has a warm, golden look courtesy of tiny candles. Smoothly carved bar stools and reclining wooden booths mark the perimeter, leaving plenty of floor space for bigger crowds. Get there early to grab the more secluded nook in the rear. Late arrivers compete for seats with a flurry of the area's young, hip clientele. Mixed drinks are nicely and cheaply done, along with specialty cocktails and a small selection…

Best Brooklyn Bar
by tomtomslug at Citysearch
Hands down the best bar in Brooklyn. I've been coming to LL for a couple years, and have always had a great time. Service, drinks and music are always top shelf.
- Pros: Service, staff, music and atmosphere
- Cons: none

Rude Staff!!!
by djdrew at Citysearch
I agree with the last review. My friends and I visited Larry Lawerence bar last night and could not believe how incredibly rude, disrespectful and condesending the bartender was to my party. To top it off, it was in front of the owner which leads me to believe that this in an acceptable form of behavior towards the customers. Save your time and money and head elsewhere because there are tons of other bars in the Williamsburg area where they will treat you with respect!!
- Pros: nada
- Cons: the staff and owner of the joint

Down the tubes goes another Burg staple.

I must say I tried giving this joint multiple chances over the last year or so. I use to love it, and even after I moved to Fort Greene I would still make the trip to enjoy it. But, now the vibe and energy of the place is that of a members only mens social club. Aside from the fact that I think they have been playing the same music for the last 3 years, the staff is by large the rudest in years.
Although it does have a great smoking area (it's only saving grace) I would not recommend even my ex boyfriends go here. I have too much respect for even people I loathe.
- Pros: Outdoor Smoking Area
- Cons: The place in general
