Infinitely preferable music venue to the Hammersein. A pale second to the Bowery Ballroom.

Closed; now Bijan's
A truly amazing Brooklyn bar. The atmosphere is warm, softly lit and almost magical. The open mic nights often attract talent so good you feel privileged to witness it. The crowd is multi-ethnic, sophisticated, soulful and hot.

This fair weather garden space has $2 PBRs and an aesthetic which transcends dive and ends up somewhere near trash heap. Oddly it's quite a relaxing and comfortable place to while away an afternoon.

A truly great neighborhood pub. Friendly atmosphere, attentive bar staff, a great selection of single-malts, over 20 taps, and two hand pumps for cask conditioned ales.

A converted synagogue is now home to one of the most unique bars in the city. A hexagonal bar, stained glass, and a friggin tree right in the middle of the place make for an interesting cocktail spot to say the least.

Casual neighborhood wine bar has a pleasant back garden, but is marred by an unimpressive wine list, short hours, and most damning in this neighborhood, stingy portion sizes.

Restaurant and bar serves a great brunch starting at 10am and French bistro fare til 3am. One of the best late night food options on Smith Street.

Closed; now Ruta Oaxaca
A cute but otherwise unremarkable bar with hit and miss service is partly redeemed by an unheard of $10 patio brunch that includes a drink.

Expect Manhattan prices at this Cobble Hill sports bar that is if you can manage to get served.

A different business is licensed at this address: Brado
There's good reason the Waterfront Ale House has been a Brooklyn Heights staple for over a decade. The food is consistently delicious and the 18 taps host a beer for every taste including cask conditioned ales.

Closed; now Fatty Daddy Taco
This rustic wine bar with a cocktail menu, beers on tap, and delicious small plates successfully satisfies many needs very well.

Closed; now Elsa
A perfect neighborhood bar, Last Exit is a comfortable and friendly local favorite. The scene is cool without being too trendy, and the dim lighting and cozy seating frequently conspire to turn your last drink on the way home into a whole new session.

Moved to 97 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn
When your team wins a game on the 40ft indoor bocce court (really) celebrate with the crapacopia , 6 cans of crappy beer for $12.

Comfy couches, a fireplace, attentive service, and an attractive crowd make Boat a top choice on Smith Street.

Closed; now Smith Deli and Grill Juice Bar
The theme is summer camp, which granted is more than a little camp itself. The bar's popularity rests in the fact that rather than attempting to capture camp kitsch, they've instead pretty successfully captured the feeling of warmth and camaraderie topped off with some smores for dessert.
