    Outdoor seating
    Shelby V.

    This is a cute place on the corner that really allows you take in the fresh air! the bartenders are kind, there's enough indoor and outdoor seating for it to be a good date night or casual drink, and the ambiance is just right! I got a Cabernet, although their liquor selection seems to be the go-to for people here. It feels like a joint for locals but absolutely inviting for anyone. There were people with kids and a LOT of cute dogs. Great vibe all around from behind the bar to at it. I'll definitely be back for a nightcap one day

    Went here to grab drinks with a friend and found a spot at the bar. This place definitely attracts a crowd on a Saturday night and they had some of the March Madness games playing on a big screen. Vibe was fun and drinks were decent--and very reasonable. Not a bad spot to check out if you're looking for a fun bar in the area.

    No, seriously. Free jukebox.

    Moonlight Mile is like some kind of magical Goldilocks bar - everything here is just right. A large group of us recently spent a good chunk of the night here for a friend's birthday celebration and, while patrons came and went all night, somehow the crowd size and noise level always seemed perfect - crowded enough to feel fun and vibrant, but never so crowded or loud that you felt even remotely claustrophobic, or as if you couldn't hear the person standing two feet from you. The decor is dark yet somehow warm and welcoming, like any good bar should be. But now, I've buried the lede.. should have gotten to the drinks first, shouldn't I have? Again, I think a perfect array of options for any drinker in your party - an excellent, diverse assortment of about 12 craft beers on tap, a small but solid wine list (the Albarino was very popular), and wonderful cocktails, solid and unpretentious (just like the bar). They are created with care and precision (but, blissfully, not by people with waxed moustaches and knickerbockers). My personal favorites were the Kennessee Old Fashioned (Bourbon, Sassafras Syrup & Bitters) and the Greenpoint Sour (Rye, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup, Egg White & Blueberry Port). Music, you say? A good bar needs excellent tuneage? The jukebox is free - yes, FREE!!! - and yet, judging by the number of our songs we heard during the night, none of the fine patrons of this lovely establishment abuse this privilege and commandeer the juke to play 40 songs in a row. Not to mention that the jukebox seems impeccably curated, with a diverse array of musical eras and genres. I'd say I fully love (and probably own or owned) 97% of the albums on the box -just drop the Bush album and the 2 Springsteen albums and I'll say your batting 1.000, Moonlight Mile! This bar was so wonderful, just immediately made me feel so completely at home, that it seriously made me wish that I lived in Greenpoint. I mean, until I got to the subway station to go home and saw that hope-killing, neon-green circular G staring me in the face, but nevertheless... I am sure it will make me get back on that G train in the future, which is indeed no small feat.

    The , Moonlight is back baby. We missed you guys sooooo much, and the Old fashions, lol. The Greenpoint sour is still rockin. Outdoor seating for now, but the bar still has that vibe, love it. Great to see you all...

    The Moonlight Mile :: A Story. My friend (a Greenpoint local) and I have been going on twice monthly food and drink adventures in the area and one evening she recommended The Moonlight Mile because it's her favorite and I love whiskey (spoiler alert - it's my favorite now too!). We always have such a good time here that we have since made a pact to end all evenings here when I'm east of the East River. Our first time was a Friday evening - we had come from another local spot on a rainy night where the drinks were just okay but the people watching was amazing. I immediately loved the vibe and aesthetic here - it's super cozy but also romantic lighting if you're taking a date. Since I adore peated anything, I got the Americillin and it was love at first sip! So, so good! My friend ordered the Foggy Mountain Manhattan which she said was delicious and also beautiful! Crafting the drinks here is a true art form - so fun to watch! We naturally needed a second round and I tried the Ned Stark because I was curious about the pear juice and three chili syrup - it was good, but not as good as the Americillin and I might never stray again. My friend tried either the Old Fashioned or the Molly Manhattan and similarly preferred her first drink moving forward. To my surprise I was able to order a hot dog made at the bar when I needed a snack - also super tasty and a solid deal at $3! This is a great little perk. The bartenders here are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and fun and they always have a great playlist reminiscent of Alt Nation circa 2010 - I love it! We have, as promised, been back every time since I've been in Greenpoint and we tend to bring even more friends each time. This past weekend we did a whiskey tasting - sweet, smoky and spicy. I loved the sweet and spicy whiskeys but sadly the smoky was too much for me which I was surprised! Maybe need to try a different one next time - we got a great lesson about all 3 with our tasting (thanks Zach!). We split 2 tastings among 4 people which was perfect and the pours were generous. I also had a beer for the first time because their selection is excellent! Highly recommend the Cigar City Guayabera Citra Pale Ale. I love so many things about this place - including that they carry my favorite peated bourbon from Kings County Distillery and that it's owned and operated by locals! Can't wait to come back!

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
