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".

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.

790 Metropolitan Ave · 0.2 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.

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.

153 Montrose Ave. · 0.3 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.

Closed; now Blinky’s
Grungy low key atmosphere + second furniture + back garden + pool table + live jazz - hipsters = A solid neighborhood bar.

Huckleberry BarPick
588 Grand St. · 0.4 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.

Order a beer get a free brick oven pizza - not just a slice - a whole pizza.

559 Lorimer St. · 0.5 mi

A beautiful backyard garden for the summer and two fireplaces for the winter make Metropolitan Williamsburg's gay bar for all seasons.

Pumps BarPick
1089 Grand St. · 0.5 mi
Still pouring
A strip club in the twilight zone where Williamsburg meets Bushwick and Metropolitan and Grand collide. There's no cover and a beer can be had for $4 during happy hour (before 3-6pm). The word gritty doesn't quite do it justice.

It can be a tough choice. Should you drop your quarter into the The Lord of the Rings pinball machine or the Elvis one?
