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
A rusted bicycle hanging from a wall serves as the only sign for this hidden bar and café. There are few (perhaps no) more attractive and unique interior spaces in the burrough - an idealized Parisian Café crammed into the narrow corner of a warehouse.

Closed; now Masquerade
Under the J train and past the BQE this bar is far from condo Williamsburg and well into artist's Williamsburg. A gramophone chandelier, subway tile walls and a 50s era juke box set the tone, and a relaxed effortlessly cool crowd completes the scene.

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.
