Sarah RosenthalSeptember 2, 2013Great, non-snooty Williamsburg bar with a New Orleans vibe, back patio, and an impressive menu. Not to mention insanely delicious Lucy Roux creole food being served up fresh on weekends!
Andrea BarrezuetaSeptember 23, 2014Dog friendly unpretentious bar in williamsburg... Very much a fan. You can order food from any places nearby giving you tons of options. Bartenders are great.
Leslie ChungAugust 6, 2012I love the atmosphere and the drinks selection. Their patio is comfy and lovely. I do wish they'd pour a little heavier on the drinks though. Measuring out exactly one shot seems very un generous.
Pop-up restaurant Lucy Roux is here on weekends making tasty fried egg plant, yam fries, gumbo, empanadas, etc. It's all good ;)
Cooper SmithJune 24, 2012When looking over the beer menu, find the one with "retirement special" - whichever beer has been tapped the longest is offered for half off. Visit on Sunday's for Saints games and New Orleans BBQ- Cooper SmithJune 13, 2012A decent spot to watch the New Orleans Saints. Though they only have 1 TV, they make up for it with the Tchoup Shop in the backyard with New Orleans BBQ and great beer selection. Who Dat
Brew YorkAugust 3, 2011A bit roomier and more low-key than its East Village cousin, the Williamsburg d.b.a. boasts an impressive beer and spirits selection, and three rotating cask beers curated by expert Alex Hall.
ReALTOFebruary 8, 2012Love this place. New Orleans bar with a HUGE selection of beer. Much more relaxed than the East Village location, especially on the weekends.
The best selection of imported draft and bottle beer I have ever seen. They have trivia nights on Wednesday nights, too, if you're into showing off useless knowledge.
David GreenbergerOctober 20, 2014All the goodies... Pool, games, patio, ragtime jazz. Dare I say... Better than the east village location.
Sly & Rye: Shot of Old Overholt Rye Whiskey and a can of Sly Fox Pikeland Pils for $6. Highest quality shot + beer special in The 'Burg!
On Sundays they now have Tchoup House in the backyard, a pop-up New Orleans style restaurant with cheap, amazing food. Try the fried balls. Trust.
DJ PDecember 16, 2012Sly and Rye - best $6 I never spent. Dart boards are amazing. Bring your own chalk if you have it, though
d.b.a. BrooklynFebruary 3, 2013Super Bowl Sunday - $4 Lagunitas and Speak Easy Drafts plus food provided by Bunnys North South!
Wednesdays at dba feature an amazing jam session of rotating young musicians from Brooklyn. And sometimes dudes from bands like Ween, too
Josef PfeifferJuly 27, 2014Cask beer served at the proper temperature - better than draft and hard to find state side.
UntappdAugust 24, 2012On your way to Brooklyn Brewery check out this outdoor drinking delight! Always a good choice on hot summer day.
Jeremy PerryApril 26, 2013Good craft beer selection and a nice back patio that stays shady most of the day.
Katherin SonApril 15, 20144 tvs, a pool table, photo booth plus board games!!! I don't remember all this being here before...
Sandra RubinchikAugust 31, 2014Don't be scared to shirk the extensive beer menu and order up an adult Arnie Palmer.
Bunnys North South being served for Super Bowl...delicious!! You cant beat their $4 draft special
Open until 4am every night & never close early. Lots of space and a quaint patio. Hope Gavin is bartending.
Kate CiurejMay 18, 2012The $6 Sly and Rye special is awesome: a can of SlyFox Pilsner and a whiskey pour!
Grab a cask IPA (or a regular) and a mezcal, great combination of spices!
The best neighborhood bar in Williamsburg. Try the spicy bloody mary on a Sunday afternoon.- David FurferoAugust 26, 2009Simon Glenn's backyard Tchoup Chop BBQ @ d.b.a. Williamsburg. Only on Sundays. Grilled boudin. N'awlins peel-and-eat shrimp. Barbecued oysters. And of course, the beer.
- Always a $3 draft with the "keg retirement program", best beer deal in Williamsburg.
- The oldest draft on the menu is half price - probably the best deal on awesome beer in the neighborhood!
Tracy Causey JefferyMarch 6, 2011Great craft beer selection, love the Monday tastings and the bartenders are wonderfully helpful
Domino BrooklynAugust 8, 2011Be sure and sample the New Orleans-style BBQ from Tchoup Shop, available only on Sundays.
Try the Brooklyn Companion if they have it! Very special brew.
Sunday Cajun-style BBQ is awesome. Great gumbo selection always available.
Tchoup Shop here every Sunday from 2:30ish until the New Orleans grub is gone!
