Brooklyn | Bars

Untapped Cities: At St. Mazie, an easy-to-miss door across from the bar opens onto a staircase that descends to the cellar where you’ll feel transported back to the 1880s. Read more.

Nicole Formica: I love love love this bar. Awesome cocktails. Don't stray too far away from their signatures.. The Alibi or Devils Garden is a great place to start.

Bon Appetit Magazine: Expect perfect oysters, lovingly prepared off-cuts of meat, tangy homemade ferments, and seasonal vegetables. Natural wines, smart-but-not-smart-ass cocktails, and local suds keep everyone loose. Read more.

Chelsea Renaud: Cocktail bar that’s unpretentious enough that you could walk in on for a casual drink and the big charcuterie plate, but vibey enough to continue a date night. Drinks made to your taste + Back Patio

Drewski: Good food, mostly great drinks (stick to the clear liquors). Chicken tacos were excellent. Outdoor area is small but nice on a warm night since it allows for a breeze.

Alexandra Previdi: Cozy, dimly lit, not overly crowded. Creative cocktails. Be warned that they only take cash.

J2re0: Ask for the bartenders choice. They won't steer you wrong.
