Tyler RogersNovember 17, 2015Great menu, bartenders are nice and top-notch, and the playlist is always good. Everything here has a classic vibe without trying too hard. Overall great spot to grab a drink. Foods pretty good too!Upvoted Sep 21
Date Night Is...April 24, 2013Good cocktails, a giant outdoor seating area, and tasty snacks put this one squarely on the Date Night list. And they have some of the friendliest bartenders to boot.
BordeauxWinesFebruary 17, 2012This elegant den boasts some of the best drinks in the city, in an atmosphere reminiscent of Prohibition-era nooks. Let out your inner rebel with a glass of Bordeaux to make this experience perfect.
Their cocktail menu is great- excellent classics and new twists. The food is tasty and the service is great. Very attractive as well.- Averna USAMay 30, 2012Known for innovative cocktails with classic ingredients, The Richardson's "Higgins' Sarsaparillas" made with Averna, Ginger Beer, & Red Wine is simply delicious. Pair with the house made deviled eggs!
White fish platter and white sandwich are excellent for snacks. Cocktails: Delicious Moscow mules, old fashioneds, and French 75s.
Deviled eggs are a must at this dark-wooden, sexy cocktail lounge that plays great music and features friendly, knowledgable bartenders.
Great cocktails and a solid whiskey selection. The patio is where it's at.
Michele DowlingMarch 5, 2018It’s a nice local spot. Small menu, but a great place to spot and get a bit to eat.
Doug WamplerDecember 30, 2014They'll pour half pints of beer if you ask. Top top top shelf ultra rare whiskey and bourbon.- Rebecca SmilesSeptember 26, 2014great cafe, and the best cocktails this side of the BQE. Where adults go to have a nice adult cocktail
Sean WalshApril 27, 2013The $10 lunch special may be the best bargain in the neighborhood for such a cool spot.
Valery JanvierJune 27, 2011Instead of a Mahattan get a Brooklyn from this bar with amazing Classic Cocktails and in house Special Cocktails...sounds like i work here. Read more
The Richardson is like a midtown Manhattan hotel bar transplanted to Williamsburg with 50% off on cocktails and attitude.
Anna MarieAugust 24, 2012Give the bartender an idea of what you like and let them surprise you with their pick! Great place!
CompassMay 14, 2014Though seen as a cocktail heaven, The Richardson employs unpretentious bartenders and even serves beer.
Sara ReismanSeptember 4, 2017Tonight I was reminded of that brooklyn attitude. This is not to say the drinks weren't good but I am glad to call lower Manhattan home.
Best lunch deal in the neighborhood. Sandwich/salad/deviled eggs for $10! And an excuse for a lunchtime beverage.
WyngspanJanuary 27, 2014Great beer and whiskey selections go great with their famous deviled eggs. http://bit.ly/1ess9nj
David Hernandez IIIJanuary 29, 2015Seems great for groups or parties. Good beer, and nice atmosphere.
Sit outside if possible. Somehow it's loud even with 4 people inside. Great cocktails, good draft selection.
Choice cocktails: Old-fashioned, Martini Qua... Also the Whitey Sandwich is really good
Try the Ardbeg - without question one of the best liquors in the world.
Coming to this bar makes me feel like Don Draper (See: Boss Life)
Royale sandwich, vermont cheddar cheese, and an old fashion to wash it down. Heaven!!!
Peter WoloszynNovember 12, 2011Cody is an amazingly awesome bartender. You should definitely tip him well.

"Great venue for a show. Easily reached from elsewhere in BK and from Manhattan. View from the front is obviously great but there’s mezzanine on either side as well as a raised area toward the back."
