A few spots in Brooklyn have caught our attention recently and we look forward to pub crawling to.  In Williamsburg, replacing Satellite Bar at 143 Havermeyer St is JackBar.  We gather that this spot has some old-school arcade and craftbeer (so, perhaps another Barcade type place??).  About one mile northwest of JackBar, we gather that Dirck the Norseman has finally opened!  Supposedly the first brewpub to open in the city since the 1990s, we can’t wait to get to Dirck (we hope this will be an anchor spot of any Greenpoint NYC beer bar crawl).  Finally, Mad Dog & Beans (of Stone Street in Manhattan’s Financial District) has opened a second location in Carroll Gardens at 276 Smith Street.  As always, we will have reviews of these three spots in this space not long after our visits there.
