Brooklyn spots we've visited recently
In Williamsburg, we had the pleasure of visiting Rocka Rolla and Sugarburg. The former is a spot from the folks behind Williamsburg’s Skinny Dennis, while the latter is a solid new addition to any a Metropolitan Ave NYC craft-beer bar crawl. We’ll have brief reviews on these spots in the coming days.
A review of Cedar Local in Manhattan's Financial District
Located at 25 Cedar Street in Manhattan’s Financial District, Cedar Local is slightly off the beaten path and a new cocktail destination. The space is mostly the bar and a few tables in front and a few tables in back. Cocktails are the focus here (see photo of menu below). Also some beer/wine available. Throw in the friendly staff and Cedar Local is a good spot to visit the next time you’re pub crawling in the area.
A review of Copper & Oak on Manhattan's Lower East Side
Located at 157 Allen Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Copper & Oak, is a serious whiskey and cognac bar. No mixed drinks here, just straight up liquor, hundreds of types (also, three beers and two wines). Very small space. Menu is read off of a kindle. If you’re a fan of amber-colored liquid, you need to include Copper & Oak on your next LES NYC bar crawl sooner rather than later!
If you're looking for a NYC pub crawl this weekend
Here’s one option for a bar crawl in NYC: On Saturday, September 27, 2014, Lindy Promotions is holding its annual Greenwich Village Fall Pub Crawl, starting at 1pm. More details here.
NYC bars we've visited recently
Recently, we’ve had the opportunity to visit Lower East Side’s 151 and Copper & Oak and the Financial District’s Cedar Local. 151 feels similar to the other incarnations in this space (Rivington 151, etc.). It’s a cocktail bar from the same folks as East Village’s Death & Co (photo of 151 below). Copper & Oak and Cedar Local are both interesting spots and we’ll have our take on those NYC bars in the coming days.
The Rookery in Bushwick, Brooklyn
Rounding out our recent NYC pub crawl through Bushwick was The Rookery, located at 425 Troutman Street, just steps from the Jefferson St. L-train stop. The Rookery offers a large outdoor seating area for the summer months and a sizeable indoor area year-round. The Rookery offers eight tap beers and 20 bottled beers.
Welcome to the Johnson's in Bushwick, Brooklyn
Located on a half industrial/half residential block at 369 Troutman Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Welcome to the Johnson’s is just steps from the Jefferson Street L-train stop. It’s worth a visit next time you are pub crawling through this nabe.
Happy Half-way to St. Patrick's Day!
Just six months to go until one of the best NYC pub crawl days of the year!
A review of Three Diamond Door in Bushwick, Brooklyn
Located at 211 Knickerbocker Avenue in Brooklyn’s Bushwick, Three Diamond Door is a semi-craft beer bar. One notable retro quality about this place includes some old neon beer signs. Outdoor area was not open yet during our visit. The space has a long bar with window seating and some booths opposite the bar and strikes as a spot that is both good for winter and summer.
