Located at 317 Third Avenue in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood, Dirty Precious is spacious and casual cocktail bar. The house cocktails run $10-12 a piece (take that, fancy Manhattan cocktail bars!). The beer selection has three draught options and about another dozen bottled/canned options. During our afternoon visit, many of the patrons were using Dirty Precious like a café of sorts, working on the laptops while eating and drinking. The space had a particularly welcoming feel to it. We look forward to returning here on our next NYC pub crawl through Gowanus.

Located at 689 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Silver Light Tavern is a great neighborhood spot that opened in mid-2019 and is in the running for our favorite new Brooklyn bar opening of 2019.  Silver Light Tavern offers a nice mix of beer, wine and house cocktails, which run (only) $13/drink.  The food menu, while somewhat limited, offers a mix of bistro and gastropub fare. Despite the recent opening date, the space feels as though it’s been around for a long time.  Add in the friendly staff and this spot is a must-visit on your next Williamsburg NYC pub crawl.  Silver Light Tavern opens for business at 4pm daily, with weekend brunch starting at 11am.
