Editorial Review for Savalas – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
This hand-built Bedford newcomer, decorated with wooden tiles, a cork ceiling and diamond-patterned pendant lights, soothes the eye and spirit with its neat, cohesive design. It attracts the creative residents of Williamsburg's South Side, a crowd that's big enough to energize the place but small enough to keep the mood light, allowing room for everyone to grab a barstool or sink into curved black banquettes. The name, inspired by the shiny head of its artist owner, is indeed a reference to Telly.
The Draw
House-infused vodkas in fresh strawberry, blood orange and pomegranate flavors bring a special touch to cocktails, while rare brews from Fuller's ESB to citrusy Pranqster distinguish the selection of 12 beers on tap. Exceptional DJs complete the tight vibe, organically mixing Latin and R&B with James Bond tracks; Miami booty bass takes over the second Saturday of each month--Daisy Dukes encouraged.

I visited Savalas a few weeks ago for a Friday night party. The music and crowd were great. My friends and I had a lot of fun. We particularly loved the frozen margaritas for only $6.

I went to Savalas on Saturday for the first time and was amazed at how good the DJs were--a great mix of Electro, Rock, and New Wave. I'm definitely going back.
