    It was so much fun for what it is - a small, intimate community space where you can knock back cheap drinks and vibe to reggaeton. Nothing better than some Medalla and a plate of rice.

    I really wanted to love this place.... but alas, it was not meant to be. We walked in to Mexican music, which I found very weird in a place that is meant to be Caribbean. went to the counter to order coquito (puerto rican xmas drink) and was told sure, but then the bartender opened a premixed bottle of eggnog.... don't need to tell you, it is not the same! we asked for clarification and were ignored and told to talk to "the jefa". the place was packed and it was extra hot.

    Good place to visit and take a photo with Tonita. Nice local PR vibes. Small and tight on a busy day. Hard to miss if passing by but once inside you feel the sense of community. Worth going if in the area.

    My wife asked me what a "social club" was after she had heard that Toñita, a Brooklyn Icon who had joined Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, ran one in Brooklyn. I explained to her how such clubs unite a neighborhood and bring people together, especially of a culture, religion, or other unifying purpose. Toñita (María Antonia Cay) is the owner of the Caribbean Social Club that she created to celebrate Puerto Rican culture in her community over 50 years ago. This simple club is so worth a visit. From the wide liquor selection, to the always available rice and beans in the corner that you can help yourself to while you're playing pool or dominoes, it's just a nice place to be. It's that simple. Please just come in and spend a little time to keep her running so that she can avert being overtaken by the gentrification that has taken over this neighborhood over the past couple decades.

    The vibe is a must come see! I would say it's a little small and it gets very hot and humid in the place. The service is good the drinks are cheap and the alcohol is strong. It's a good time if you're on a budget and love listening to reggaeton.

    A historical landmark (as are all social clubs created for their intended original purposes). This is a joint for all latinos to have a place to gather, be social, and eat a great meal. If you want to learn more look into this gem or attempt to speak to the owner (or her son. you'll see them around). Although the days of our parents are gone, hopefully the kids will bring this place back to life and keep it for the generations to come. Maybe a return of the instruments. BYOI (bring your own instrument) can be organized I'm sure:) What it's not is a modern club for getting slouched and hooking up. So don't come thinking it's anything other than a quaint little joint nuzzled in the ever gentrifying WillyB.

    This place is hot. And I mean hot as hell. It was 90 degrees outside and 1000 degrees inside. Avoid it.

    Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

    Jaffa is a hidden gem for drinks in the Williamsburg area. The drinks are awesome, the environment…read moreis clean and exquisite, and the service is great. I've never ate here, but I recommend grabbing drinks during the summer months when they open the canopy. It's a nice rooftop feel. However, I went on a fall Saturday night and the place was completely empty. I walked upstairs and even wondered if the bar was open due to a chair blocking the entrance. If I didn't ask the waiter if they were open, I would assume they were closed and would've left. If it was near closing hours, I would understand, but it was 2 hours prior to it. Regardless, this place is great. It's extremely spacious and offers a high quality dining/drinking experience.

    A marquis of Michael Solomonov's restaurants is that you will never leave hungry. At Jaffa, you…read morewill leave hungry, poor, or both. It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar. A perfectly functional though unexciting wheelchair accessible restroom is available.
