    Quirky spot with decor that at times resembles a church and at times your 70 year old crazy cat lady aunt. As odd as that sounds, the place is cool, not crowded and the cocktails are very good and $10

    Ridgewick's finest venue. Cozy and nicely appointed w/ a dizzying array of antiques and moderately priced drinky drinks. Good vibe. Historic locale (see historic doc in BR).

    Check out the newest Ridgewood bar, The Keep. It's part drinking hole, part anthropological treasure trove, and covered with stuff from all over the world. Drinks are $6 and small plates are served. Read more

    Great spot with cozy seating and decent prices for a snazzy cocktail menu. Good vibe, good crowd, and all around good stuff. They don't take credit card yet.

    Love the vibe in this joint. Local eclectic peeps. Friday night disco vibes with a live funky jazz trio. Every item on the walls are piece of art.

    This place is actually really rad. Lotsa good drink options, ample seating, great vibes! Off the beaten path, so less crappy Bushwick fiends.

    Bizarre and eclectic interiors; former site of a members only mafia hangout--with the bullet holes in the mirrors to prove it

    The decor is everything! Friendly bartenders and a great local hang. I hear there is burlesque, too

    Murphy's stout was delicious.. although the two-part pour was non existent (maybe that makes me a sucker for Guinness marketing)

    Wack dj. Sounds like elevator music for 2 hours straight! No idea how to play anything other than bad house music. Just bad..
