    A fun bar that looks like your grandma's living room. Try a cocktail before hitting up the pinball machines.

    Skylark is the best. Awesome bartenders and perfect seating for day drinking with friends. Get a few Pork & Mindys (can of pork slap & shot of evan williams) and you WILL go home with a fellow patron

    Favorite neighborhood spot for a chill vibe, great cocktails, and yum snacks (get one of the pretzels!). Outdoor seating is a plus, but inside is a cozy & lovely place to hang for drinks with friends.

    Cheap beers and pinball in the back. Low key place that's good for hanging out and relaxing. Beer and shot deals as well.

    A homey vibe (as in, you might be in your grandma’s living room), reasonably priced drinks, and outdoor patio situation.

    I watched the bartender make Bloody Mary mix while I was drinking one. It's a balanced blend of spicy, savory, and sweet.

    Nice folks, great decor, good draft selection! Bacon and cheddar pretzel is great, but I wish there were more snack options.

    Post-Sandy tip: Order some food here and help out the Good Fork, a great Red Hook restaurant. For now this is their only kitchen.

    Great collection of bad art. I don't know if I like the backlit cows or the kitten made of yarn best.

    A bar with character that's been earned, not artfully reproduced. Solid drinks and good times

    The Good Fork menu (including dumplings) make this place a destination when you want more than regular bar food, but less than a formal restaurant.

    If are looking for a nice bar, with good atmosphere, not crazy loud, in which you can find spots to sit: here you find it! No tv, jazz bluegrass and old music, really friendly and comfy.

    Nice interior decor. It's just where I got my phone stolen. So.. Just watch your phone, but it could happen anywhere.
