The original work-remote café which converts to a (sort-of) locals-only craft beer bar after the laptops go away. Come for the wi-fi, stay for the best staff I know of.
Super chill place to grab a drink and hang with a friend. Usually not too busy on a weeknight. They host all kinds of events too, from tech to poetry. Awesome spot.
Free comedy show every last Tuesday of the month. Really funny but come early if you don't want to be standing up! Great beer and wine selection too. Food platters are a bit small.
Think local. Eat local. Good to work during the day and good for beers in the evening. They sell local foods from farmers on Tuesday or Wed. Pop by the Invisible Dog next door, nice gallery.
It may be a bar by night, but by day this sprawling space is the perfect low-key place for a latte, a truffled grilled cheese and some good conversation. Read more
61 Local pours locally produced brews only, from its 14 taps. With a low-key crowd, ample natural light and long communal tables, it's the perfect spot to post up for an entire afternoon. Read more
Chilli pickles. Delicious! Advice (speaking from experience): do not eat at same time as smoked almonds and ginger kombucha. Kinda extreme for a quiet afternoon!
Microbrews unite with local food growers to combine for one hell of a taste explosion in your mouth. Get ready for some of the best sourcing New York has to offer.
Great selection of wine and beer, so many quality local products. The Mezze Plate is great to share, and the Imperial Ham and Grilled Cheese is probably my favorite sandwich in Brooklyn!
Great place to work; pretty quiet early mornings before the brunch crowd, and super fast wifi. It's so big that I never felt bad about spending a lot of time there.
Veg Out Toast: featuring "faux gars" - the smooth savory purée is made from the "livers" of lentils, walnuts, and miso, then gets topped with crisp scallions, red peppers, and mushrooms.
Great place to visit for an anthropological study of Brooklynites. Note the oddly-sized "art," French magazines abt cheese & yoga, and the horror on the bartender's face when you ask for bottled beer.
Food and atmosphere is great. Huge space. On a Saturday afternoon, there are a lot of kids (babies, toddlers). Depending on how you feel abut kids, or if you have one, this could be a plus or minus.
Great place for a daytime get-together. Grab a table and camp out, people can come and go as they please, order food and drinks at the bar, and pay separately.
One of the few cafes that plays consistently good tunes and at a volume where you can still hear yourself think, perfect when it's already a great free Wi-Fi work space!
Cash only. Dim lighting. Low music. If you're looking to enjoy a locally made craft beer in a calm environment, give this place a try. BTW orders are placed at the Bar.
Love this place. Sure, it can sometimes feel like a mommy, daddy, and me class, but solid beer/wine selection and a nice open plan space where you can comfortably wile away an afternoon with friends.
People come here to show off their babies to their friends with babies. They even put the babies on the tables. Lots of baby crying. Soooo, if you're into that sort of thing, this is your place.
I know what beer I like, but here I always ask their advice. Awesome, ever changing selection, with opinionated bartenders that aren't shy about choosing for you.
From a Sixpoint Craft Ales alum comes this cool spot with a great selection of local beers in an awesome space with high ceilings, picnic tables, and a biergarten kind of vibe.
Northeast Egg Sandwich and Apple Ginger soda: brunch that's well above bar food standards. The sarnie comes with crunchy, spicy green bean pickles that are pretty spectacular.
The Tide Is High stands out on 61 Local's new sandwich menu if only because it sounds so unlikely: taramasalata, hard-boiled eggs, and salsa verde on potato pugliese. Read more
We're a public house located at 61 Bergen St. in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn celebrating locally crafted food and beverage and the people who make it. Come in and enjoy the best local artisans have to offer in a lively and festive atmosphere.
