Located at 134 Kingsland Avenue in the northeast corner of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, One Stop is a solid beer bar for an area of Williamsburg that is lacking in such a bar.  One Stop offers 16 quality tap beers and a limited food menu of bar snacks and a few sandwiches.  One Stop is a bit out of the way (Google maps estimates an 11-minute walk from the Graham Avenue L-train station), but well worth a visit on your next pub crawl through the area.

Located at 300 Richardson Street in an industrial section of northeast Williamsburg in Brooklyn, 18^th Ward Brewing is a bar/brewery somewhat off the beaten path and well worth a visit.  18^th Ward typically serves eight of their own draught beers and has a full bar as well.  The food menu is limited, but pairs well with beer: bar snacks and sandwiches.  18^th Ward opens for business Tuesday through Friday at 5pm and Saturday and Sunday at 1pm.

Located at 673 Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn’s Prospect Lefferts Gardens (PLG), Westbury Inn is a neighborhood bar. There are eight draught beers. With its numerous board game offerings, Westbury Inn has somewhat of a living room feel to it.

Located at 577 Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn’s Prospect Lefferts Gardens (PLG), Midwood Flats is a craft beer bar with 20 very quality tap beers. Midwood Flats opens at noon daily and we get the feeling that it’s a great neighborhood pub. We look forward to returning here on our next NYC pub crawl through PLG.

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.

Located at 621 Manhattan Avenue at the back of the Wanpaku Ramen restaurant in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint, The Hidden Pearl is a Japanese-inspired cocktail bar.  The space is rather small, seating no more than 20 patrons.  So, you probably want to consider making reservations before your visit here, though walk-ins are welcome on a first-come first-served basis.  The Hidden Pearl’s menu offers craft cocktails, beer, wine, sake and Japanese small plates.  The Hidden Pearl is open Wednesday through Sunday starting at 6pm.

Located at 130 Franklin Street in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint, Magazine picks up where Shayz Lounge left off.  The layout at Magazine is similar to that of Shayz Lounge, with a small outdoor area in back.  Friendly staff, free popcorn and some comfortable couch-like seating make this place a go to for your next night of bar hopping through Greenpoint.

Located on the second floor above the French-Japanese restaurant Shun at 610 Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, Bar Shun is a luxurious entity all unto itself.  This spot isn’t simply where a patron might have a drink or three while waiting for a table at Shun downstairs.  Bar Shun is an upscale cocktail bar worthy of an after-work visit or if you’re fancy-bar hopping around Midtown/Midtown East.  Bar Shun opens for business at 5pm daily.

Located at 284 Third Avenue in Manhattan’s Gramercy nabe, Craft N Carry is a craft beer bar/store, with skee ball in back.  Craft N Carry has two other locations, one in the East Village at 116 St. Mark’s Place and the other is part of Dekalb market hall in downtown Brooklyn. The Gramercy location offers more than a dozen tap beers for onsite tasting/sampling. These same beers are available for takeaway via crowler/growler.  Many more bottled and canned beers available in the fridges opposite the main bar.
