If you've been to Rise in Manhattan, this is basically the Brooklyn version--but with a few key differences: they start charging a $10 cover after 10pm on weekends, the music leans more disco, and the bathroom situation is...rough. There are only two toilets, so the line gets long fast and people start getting a little tense. That said, ANIMAL still hits. It brings a classy, slightly retro vibe to Williamsburg that you don't really get anywhere else, and there's a reason the line is always wrapped around the block.

Hoping it would have the Manhattan crowd for Friday happy hour I was disappointed that I was one of 4 people including the bartender who at first glance and sound thought it was Borat.

As an introvert who does try to socialize when I go out, the vibe here just hits different. It doesn't have that intimidating, high-energy chaos you get at the big nightclubs. The staff and patrons are always upbeat and welcoming, which makes it easy to actually relax and enjoy yourself. Maybe it's just me, but I never feel self-conscious here the way I do at a lot of other LGBT spots in the city where I have to squeeze myself through a maze of people. Looking from the outside, you'll be surprised that their venue has a bit of everything for everyone, so it's not just a neighborhood "dive bar." They have a small dance floor, a cute outdoor patio, and fun events going on all week. I probably avoided a busy night since I came on a Thursday evening, but even then, they really make the space work. Plus, the prices definitely beat Manhattan. To all my fellow introverts who also may be a little shy, please come here!

In a cozy bar like this, the bartenders really set the tone and I must say, they were awesome. As soon as I moseyed up to the bar, I was immediate served. To my delightly surprise, they had 00 beers, which were iced cold too! The DJ spun some lively and eclectic music that the entire room was dancing too, song after song. They had a private party taking over the space at 10pm but if they didn't, we surely would have stayed much longer. I'll be back for sure and will keep this place in mind if I ever throw a private shing ding in the city!

I really enjoying the intermingling of the different notes :) The hibiscus tea was also nice but maybe a little bitter in a smooth way? The date me ginger coffee is good too! The naan was great! A good size and fluffy. The lesbian labeneh homo hummus and masc and masc were all good! They all have super fresh flavors! The masc for masc is kind of sweet in a good way. The lesbian labeneh tastes pretty much like yogurt or sour cream but it's still good :) and that's literally what it is anyways lolll

Overall rating: 4.5…read more I was in the area and wanted to try this place since it's new. I liked how witchy & spiritual the bar is. I went really early, so it was a tad dead. The lights were so pretty & want to add to my space. Drink prices were reasonable but wish they were a tad cheaper for the location. If it wasn't too far, I'd love to see how it is in the later hours.

If you're on the fence about going to Eagle, well just hop off already and get your bum over there…read more I finally did and realized I had been missing out all this time. This fantastically grungy place is fueled by a mix of thumping beats, leather harnesses, and shirtless men. Even at its busiest, the vibe stays open, fun, and surprisingly well organized. The Wednesday before thanksgiving is apparently known for being the busiest night at the Eagle, and this year's record crowd should have sunk the whole operation, but the staff kept the entire production going smoothly like it was rehearsed. The Eagle's security team deserves direct credit. They managed an impossibly massive crowd without a hitch. Even with thousands trying to get in, the kilometric entrance line and the coat check line that stretched to the roof moved smoothly and never descended into chaos. Dan in particular handled a near-impossible task: recovering my smartwatch from a crowd so packed I had assumed it was gone for good. He somehow retrieved it, safeguarded it, and returned it to me with the utmost professionalism. Music is solid. The vibe is leather and musk. The inclusivity is not just tag line but a daily practice. This bar deserves every positive review on this app. Ignore the haters. Peace!

We danced the night away to MissMonroes amazing set We did a Zara Larson Midnight Sun theme and we felt comfortable and safe all night it was so much fun dancing with the girlies and meeting new people. The reason I'm withholding one star is because the back room was so dark and dank and STEAMING HOT I had to take breaks between dancing in there and catching my breath at the table where we settled at. I love Bushwick but the smell in that room after 2:30 am went from musty to BO Stank, to pickles and vinegar smelling. Please do better crack a window and wear deodorant guys! Baby powder or something !!!! Anyways I would 100% go back to Moodring

A truly great, chill spot for some solid drinks and vibes!…read more Just what we were looking for after having an expensive dinner nearby - a lowkey and chill dive bar with amazing aesthetics and a fun atmosphere! There's plenty of seating, and it feels very warm and cozy within. Ordering at the bar took a little while, but the bartender was very friendly and once I had the drinks, it was a great space to relax within. We had some of the ciders, which were a great flavor and taste. I also loved the decor behind the bar and also throughout the building. There's a yellow, comforting warmth throughout the space, something that I loved on a cold winter evening. If you want a chill space with excellent vibes and a warm atmosphere, Skinny Dennis is definitely the spot for you. I think they also have live music frequently - no one was performing while we were there, although I did notice someone beginning to set-up just as we were heading out. I highly recommend!
