351 Broadway · 0.1 mi
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.

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.

-
312 Grand St. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now Quarter Club
The ambience that might otherwise exist in this attractive space is obliterated by no fewer than 10 plasma TVs. If you're not hear to watch sports head to the cozy backyard garden insead, and enjoy a pint of Chimary on tap.

264 Grand St. · 0.3 mi

256 Grand St. · 0.4 mi
Closed; now Southside Boxing
The working class roots that the area's many art school dropouts are at such pains to emulate are evident in spades at this Williamsburg dive, but there's no need to worry that the hipsters will take over. This bar has top notch hipster repellent - heavy metal. This leaves the associated regulars to profess their love for the free tater tots without worrying about the quality of their ironic lilt.

The crowd dances and the crowd gets so F-ed up on weekends they can't stand or can't sit still depending.
