Matthew Hurst: I usually prefer small cafes, but this coffeehouse has earned it's reputation among the best in NYC. I usually grab a bag of beans to take home when I visit Gorilla Coffee.

Bar · East Williamsburg · 321 tips and reviews

Bar · Williamsburg · 74 tips and reviews
Grace Aldridge: Happy hour lasts until 10:00 (specials vary, but it's usually $1 off well drinks and draught beers), and they have cornhole and giant Jenga in the back yard. Woop.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: Prepare to dance the night away at this Williamsburg staple. Drinks are reasonably priced; a DJ rocks the inside, while the taco stand and picnic benches out back offer a repose. - Green Guide Editor
Brew York: While not currently open to the public for tours, this brewery - open since 2005 - is the birthplace of off-the-wall, experimental beer that has made it one of the most-beloved breweries in New York.
Amanda C: Good neighborhood joint. Go pre or post Glasslands show or just dance in a low key setting on a Saturday night. Or just have some quality hangtime any weeknight.
Daniel Latorre: Go to L&B on a nice day, sit outside, enjoy two of the absolute best melt in your mouth Sicilian slices in the 5 boroughs, finish it off with a scoop of Spumoni.
