Drinks in Brooklyn Heights

A dim pub on Henry Street with a long bar, a tin ceiling and a beer list that runs to a couple of dozen taps. There is a burger and a plate of wings if you want them, and the back has a few booths. It has been on this block for nearly thirty years and nothing about it is trying to be anything.

Mon to Wed, 3pm to 12:30am. Thu, 3pm to 2am. Fri, 3pm to 4am. Sat, 1pm to 4am. Sun, 1pm to 2am

A longshoremen's bar at the foot of Atlantic Avenue that has been run by the same family for over seventy years, from the days when it opened at 8:30am for dockworkers coming off the overnight shift. The walls are covered in ship photographs, life rings and union plaques. Karaoke runs Thursday through Saturday and it is loud and completely unserious.

Mon to Wed, 4pm to midnight. Thu and Fri, 4pm to 2am. Sat, noon to 2am. Sun, 2pm to midnight
