Greenpoint's youthful spot for brews and single malts.

by Karen Hudes

Huge windows provide an impressive corner view for this neighborhood hangout, which features an oak bar, wooden floor beams and a pressed-tin ceiling, as well as a sidewalk cafe. In addition to a choice of 10 beers on draft, nine wines by the glass and nine single malts, the menu also offers a limited variety of pressed sandwiches. Greenpoint and Williamsburg residents in their 20s, 30s and 40s make up most of the crowd.

OK

by guinessoholic

OK bar to meet for a quick drink and then move on to somewhere else. that is about it.

Other then the Guinness and the wanna be Irish that get sloppy drunk here- I would not consider this an Irish pub by any means. At least not a good one.

  • Pros: beer

A REAL New York Bar!

by brendankate

Greenpoint, a trendy neighborhood bordering Williamsburg, has, what my friends and I consider, a true New York Bar. From the wood floors to the tin ceiling to no tv's--it's all about drinking and talking here, folks. Great Bartenders and decent prices make this a worthwhile visit as a walk from Williamsburg or a ride on the God-forsaken G Train.

  • Pros: Atmosphere, Bartenders, Crowd
  • Cons: G Train, No food, Almost "Too Hip"
