I live in Chicago and spent a lot of my life in Baltimore. This bar is literally on every other…read moreblock in these cities. But to fair as much as love both cities this is an oasis in NYC. In my day drinking experience I couldn't ask for better. Great music. No food. Food messes up and an old man bar. Chips mixed nuts and maybe pickled eggs. Anything after that and it's a restaurant. Sunny's did not step over the restaurant line. Quiet and competent bar tending. Just perfect. Customers are what I would describe as people that would have never have been seen in a place like this 30 years ago. Furthermore they aren't additive. In the same period of time in either Chicago or Baltimore I would have made 5 life long friends for the day. Not one single word for the patrons. Just because I don't have the Gen Z mustache/clothes doesn't mean I don't have meaningful thoughts. I would take a bar full of stevedores any day. Anyway despite the customers. It's 5 stars. Worth the ride.

Wow. This might be one of my favorite bars! Open since 1890, it's full of rich history and has…read moreclearly been a neighborhood staple for generations. I'm so glad I got the chance to go. The energy was incredible--definitely the kind of local spot where people come to relax and hang out like it's their second home. The drinks were fantastic, and I loved that they offered such a wide variety. They even had regular hot tea if you wanted something non-alcoholic, plus a whole range of other NA options. The space itself is amazing and surprisingly spacious, with outdoor seating as well. I didn't get to catch the live music this time, but they have it every night! I'll definitely be back :) P.S. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM in the back.

This is a good bar…read more I'm not sure I would know about Docky's if it wasn't across the street from Red Hook Tavern (an excellent spot with one of my all-time favorite burgers, if you haven't been), but it's the most convenient spot to continue your evening after RHT kicks you out because you've been hogging a prime table for way too long. It's clean, and comfortable. It's not too crowded on a Wednesday (I thought they used to have karaoke on Wednesdays, but not this past one). The artwork is interesting, the bartenders are friendly, and they've got hazy IPAs for my friend who likes such things, Guinness for me when I'm winding down the night, and all the booze you need. We were already more than a bottle of wine deep per person, but if you're looking to get turnt, they have great beer/shot specials ($7 for Old Overhold and a High Life), and really all the prices are great for Brooklyn in 2024. Cash only.

We had mussels st other location but they weren't here. I also had a non-fried cod at other location. But the food is delicious. The harvest salad is my favorite. The buffalo are seasoned and cooked very well! Jaime provided good service! She offered suggestions on what to eat! Also the beers are all great! I can only speak for the IPA's. The vibe in here is very chill! We had a great time!

Overall rating: 4.8…read more I know there are so many breweries in the area, but this is a hidden gem! OMG the macaroni balls. You HAVE TO GET. It's so surprisingly good & the wings were delicious as well. The service was so nice. I can't tell if it's on the menu, but definitely ask because it was that good. Definitely coming back, the next time in the area.

Such a hidden gem! We stumbled upon this spot during our day in Red hook and were so happy we…read moredecided to check it out. It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth checking out. The bartenders were welcoming and friendly and explained their cocktail menu. They let us sample some of their gin before we decided on which cocktail we wanted. They have a small tasting room with bar seats, a few tables and two couches. Most cocktails were $15 each and very delicious/fresh! I tried two different ones and liked them both! I watched them freshly strain the raspberries to make the raspberry syrup that went into one of the drinks. Overall, the service was excellent and the cocktails were top notch! I would definitely recommend making this a stop when you need to get out of the heat and want a fresh handcrafted cocktail.

Walking in to the place you wouldn't think much but the staff is incredibly friendly and the drinks are delicious! They focus on Gin but the previous owners made whiskey and left the barrels for the new owner so they are selling whatever whiskey they have and once it's sold out it's out! This place is definitely worth stopping by.

Wow I think I found my favorite malt beer at this brewery! It's called Decapitator. Please always…read morekeep it on your lineup! Strong. You only need 1-2 to feel relaxed. :) The beer prices are great too. The vibe here is great, with a lot of seating options and card + board games to keep you occupied. Dog friendly as well! I was able to get a bowl of water for my little one. Nice views of the water too if you prefer to sit outside. I like how it is bring your own food. I saw a small group having a little birthday party and they had pizza and a cake that they brought. I went to the Food Bazaar grocery a block or two away and got a sandwich from their deli to bring to the brewery. Next door is a cidery, I think a different owner. Outrageously expensive ($17 for a small glass of cider? lol). Stick to strong rope! They do have a cider or two on their menu normally. 2 minutes away is Steve's Key Lime Pie - recommend if you like frozen key lime pies on a stick dipped in chocolate ;)

They also do drink specials with liquor for a frozen summer special. Service is fast even when the line is long. All ages are welcome here.

When we walked in, we got the warmest welcome from her. Her name is Debbie. I have a 10yrs old also and she immediately started having a conversation with her. When she sat us in the dinning room, she let us know there were 2 servers for the night with a 1 bus boy. She mentioned them by name and I loved that. We were attended to by Keith. He was such a gem. He recommended so really great choices for us. This is what we had. For drinks, my husband and my son had the Red Hook which they loved. I don't drink so I had the Captain Jack Mocktail. Appetizers- Seafood Tower and Rhode Island Calamari. OMG the calamari is a must try. It has a little kick but you will thank me later. I little heat never hurt nobody. Dinner- we all shared the Gala Apple Salad, Porter House, Linguini and Clams, Lundy's Potatoes, and Mac and Cheese. Dessert- The Butterscotch Sundae my daughter hogged, and the Lundy's Huckleberry Pie. Now let me tell you. I do not eat huckleberry pie, but that one, I could not believe how tasty. The crust was hard and sweet and the filling had the right flavor. Not too sweet or tart. All throughout dinner my husband and my son kept saying how great the food was. It was truly amazing and the service was great, with only 3 working and staying attentive to several tables. I would definitely come back. Maybe for a girls night next time.

We took a seat at the bar and were greeted by the most charming bartender, Josh. He made us feel right at home and recommended the fish and chips. I was a little hesitant because the fish and chips is not traditional, but i trusted this man with my life. Let me tell you- i will never question smashed fingerlings ever again! In addition we got curry fries which was a zesty treat. And plenty of delicious wines. I loved the lambrusco and that guinness pour was one of the best in the city. Thank you good fork and josh!
