Travis SchmeisserAugust 13, 2017Literally everything on the menu is incredible and they have great daily specials. Our favorites are the Shepard pie and the kale/brussel sprout salad. Super friendly staff and amazing service too.
Gabriel HayesJuly 30, 2015Has great summer cocktails. I really like the Singani Spritz (made with fresh grapefruit juice, aperitivo aperol, Bolivian mascatel brandy & Spanish sparkling rose wine).

Borja BurgosJuly 11, 2016A hidden jewel in an unexpected spot. Fresh oysters, tasty food, good drinks, honest prices.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 21, 2016Reflect your inner self in a cocktail mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Ask the bartender of Grand Ferry Tavern to make a Tequila Sunrise for you.
Seasonal Happy Hours! Right now Oyster happy hour and 1/2 price Rose on Wednesday!
Cooper SmithJanuary 18, 2014The braised brisket is decent and the burger is tasty. But the blue cheese fondue is why you should come here.
Tom KeefeJuly 17, 2013Outstanding beer selection. The fries and burger are top notch and the raw bar is outstanding
Great alternative for Maison Premiere. Awesome cocktails and ambiance.
They have an excellent collection of Bourbon cocktails
Great wine list, half off all bottles on Wednesday evenings.

Not done fancy, just done right. A comfortable Tavern just off of the east river in Williamsburg, serving proper cocktails, oysters and heartier fare. We pride ourselves on service and quality.
