    Pilar

    I got the caufields dream and two pilars. Both so good ! The pilar was so savoury! My friend says his patty melt was "so good" with some real gusto in his voice. And he's not one for compliments. The atmosphere is what really seals the deal. It has that je ne sais quoi. I might end up coming here every time I visit New York.

    Some amazing cocktails - check Great food - check A Backyard for summer drinks - check Wonderful people - check Bushwick vibe - check One thing that keeps it from being 5 stars - check** **The Narrows has by far the worst bar stools in all of Brooklyn. Yup I said it. Now they are pretty, they look wonderful with the backdrop of the space, but they are so so wrong. Well unless you are over 6'4 in which case you might be ok with them. They have no backs, are super high and have no footrests. Even my tall man friend had his legs dangling like a 3-years old. They have a slight dip in them as well. You can't adjust how you sit what so ever.... like I said worst bar stools in Brooklyn. So for that they lose a star, that's seriously how terrible they are.

    Narrows is an awesome neighborhood bar. Great cocktails and a cool vibe. Try the caulfield's dream. It's a great drink.

    Why do people like this place? It's literally named after an awkward room shape. I don't get it.

    The atmosphere is fantastic and the service is no frills. I had dinner and drinks for 23 after tip, so it's also a good value.

    Water Tower - Inferno Paloma

    Water Tower

    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!

    Chill bar, cool view, NYC rooftop drink price. I was here when it wasn't that busy, so nice to get…read morea seat. Tips is included automatically in your bill, and i appreciate they're not asking for more tips when you pay.

    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.
