361 Graham Ave · 0.1 mi
A different business is licensed at this address: Hummus Market
The restaurant’s relaxed ambiance, infused with the owners' Bossa Nova warmth and Celtic charm, is endlessly inviting and always sublime.
-
790 Metropolitan Ave · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Easy Lover
This small, dimly lit bar replaced everyone's favorite neighborhood hole, Pour House. The music's seems to be always a bit too loud, the pool table is uneven, but the crowd tends to be pretty friendly and they've got cask conditioned ale.

Sweet UpsPick
277 Graham Ave. · 0.2 mi
Closed; now Ore Bar
Sexy, red wallpaper and leather banquettes create a Parisian hothouse aesthetic, while cheap and tasty cocktails help create a hothouse atmosphere.
-
Stain Wine BarPick
766 Grand St. · 0.2 mi
Closed; now Brooklyn Standard
Just far enough from Bedford Ave to have retained its soul, Stain is a low key art bar supporting local artists and hosting a popular craft night - PAINTstain "talent optional".

600 Metropolitan Ave. · 0.2 mi
Still pouring
Order a beer get a free brick oven pizza - not just a slice - a whole pizza.
-
437 Graham Ave. · 0.3 mi
Closed
It can be a tough choice. Should you drop your quarter into the The Lord of the Rings pinball machine or the Elvis one?
-
559 Lorimer St. · 0.3 mi
Still pouring
A beautiful backyard garden for the summer and two fireplaces for the winter make Metropolitan Williamsburg's gay bar for all seasons.
-
609 Grand St. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now Blinky’s
Grungy low key atmosphere + second furniture + back garden + pool table + live jazz - hipsters = A solid neighborhood bar.
-
593 Lorimer St. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now DeStefano's Steakhouse
The kitchen is inconsistent, the décor is devoid of personality, and the crowd tends toward shout-talking, but on Tuesday nights they give away free beer from 8:30-10pm, sure it's only PBR cans, but it's FREE BEER.

Huckleberry BarPick
588 Grand St. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now The Last Call
Williamsburg is on its way to becoming the SoHo just east of the river. So a top-shelf cocktail and tapas bar like this is presumably quite safe from firebombing. However, the question still remains if the armies of gentrification have marched in enough numbers to keep them kitted out with home-made grenadine and goat cheese.

451 Graham Avenue · 0.3 mi

Considering Williamsburg’s place atop the trendy hood hierarchy, the faux-speakeasy trend arrived surprisingly late in L train land. Nevertheless, it has at last, and East Williamsburg’s The Richardson is an impressive interpretation.

Macri ParkPick
462 Union Ave · 0.4 mi
Closed
A 24 hour restaurant, bar, and coffee shop with a unique architecture - an outdoor garden is connected to the street by an open air pathway that serves as the bar. A Sunday DJ brunch currently draws a crowd, but it remains to be seen if the idea can hold through the cold winter.

BarcadePick
388 Union Ave. · 0.4 mi

The perfect marriage of bar and arcade, this huge industrial space houses dozen of 80's era video games and serves up a truly impressive range of brews including cask conditioned ale.
-
709 Lorimer St. · 0.4 mi
Still pouring
This former candy store draws crowds with a variety of fun nightly events - a trivia night, backyard BBQ, a Spelling Bee…
-
484 Union Ave. · 0.4 mi
Still pouring
Although anyone who's lived in Williamsburg more than a year will claim the scene is far past its sell by date, Union Pool remains an attractive and popular space. On a weeknight in the fall a spot by the firepit in the back garden is nothing short of a treasure.
-
507 Grand St. · 0.4 mi
A different business is licensed at this address: Carneval
Although it only opened in 2007, 507 is that rare type of neighborhood bar in Willliamsburg, one where the patrons actually grew up in the neighborhood.
-
366 Union Ave. · 0.4 mi
A different business is licensed at this address: Limosneros
Festive margarita and mexican joint.
-
153 Montrose Ave. · 0.5 mi
Still pouring
Reminiscent of a Williamsburg scene that hasn't existed for almost a decade anywhere near Bedford Avenue. DuckDuck has a low-key cool kid vibe and perhaps even more importantly really cheap beer. Try the Schmidt Face - a can of Schmidt and a shot of whiskey for $5.
-
594 Union Ave. · 0.5 mi
Closed; now Casa Publica
A cozy hipster hideaway on the corner of McCarren Park, Royal Oak convincingly integrates a dive bar and underground dance club. Large leather booths and free foosball quell the nausea of the scene; that is, twenty-something white people dressed in forty-something clothing dancing to pop music of thirty-somethings.
