The Hold Steady: Storytellers Set

Before

0.3 mi · 5 min walk - Williamsburg

A bar has operated in this 1887 corner building for most of the time since, and the Peter Doelger Brewing glass over the door is still there. The food is burgers and fish and chips at a price that has not chased the neighborhood. Closed Mondays, which catches people out.

After

0.2 mi · 5 min walk - Williamsburg

Family run since the 1980s on the corner opposite McCarren Park, with a pool table and cheap beer and the ball game on. It opens at 11am and does not close until 4am, every day of the week. Nothing about it has been updated to match what went up around it.
