  1. .

    Skinny Dennis - only been there once and it was sort of during the pandemic. hated it. never been back.

  2. .

    Horses and Divorces - i was touched inappropriately without my consent here. the sidewalk seating is pure chaos. the pool table is free though.

  3. .

    East River Bar - awful music and inconvenient location.

  4. .

    Thief - not really a dive and also probably technically in greenpoint but anyway i don’t like it.

  5. .

    George and Jacks - this place is fine. don’t eat the pop corn.

  6. .

    Rocka Rolla - i actually love this bar. worst bathrooms though.

  7. .

    Lucky Dog - not as many dogs as you’d think. this ain’t no dog beach.

  8. .

    Union Pool - great bar and kudos for also having a music venue. taco truck is undeniable. i’ve taken my parents here.

  9. .

    The West - stumbling distance from my apartment. great yard.

  10. .

    The Levee - perfect bar imo. no notes.
