Deep in nautical Red Hook, a woodsy dive comes back to life with killer BBQ and dirt-cheap beer.. In Short
The lamentably departed Pioneer Bar-B-Q has been revived as a welcoming neighborhood dive that feels transported from the Old West. Rustic wood and nearly pitch-dark lighting announce the Ice House as a serious drinking establishment, and the suds don't disappoint: More than 30 bottles and cans, from Belgium's Duvel to two-buck Carling Black Label, combine with drafts (like $3 Yuengling) to provide imbibing options for laid-back bar-goers both flush and broke. When folks are suitably liquored up, out come board games like Connect Four.

Hits: Bring a couple twenties and a posse of pals, and you'll enjoy a cost-effective eve of pulled-pork sandwich-eating, inebriation and warbling along to indie-rock and country tunes with wild abandon.

Misses: Reaching Red Hook is a pain in the rump, and unless you're a local returning home requires a cab--especially after you've belted back a few beers. Also, vegetarian-friendly vittles would be welcome.
