Marc MayerMarch 8, 2015Despite the ubiquitous stroller mafia, the constantly rotating local beverage selection is one of the best.
Kathryn DJune 15, 2016Great for laid-back afternoon cocktails and snacks, especially the Mediterranean platter.
Ashley AlvarezMarch 1, 2017Cute family friendly spot for coffee or beer/wine. Also a location for a CSA pick up!
Village VoiceJanuary 17, 2014Go here for the beer pretzels and cheese, which mix great with the many brews on tap.
One of the nicest things about 61 local is all the touches and events which make this a community hub
Veg Out Toast is incredibly good. Pair it will a tasty beer or a nice capp and you'll be feeling great.
Nathan GammieAugust 22, 2014Solid drafts, wine and coffee menu, strong WiFi and lots of seating makes this place a cafe workers dream.
Bummed out about no laptops on weekends. It's okay for two law students to take an entire table with books and paper, but not us to sit in a corner with our computers? Dislike. :(
Alison GreshamDecember 31, 2015They serve coffee until 4pm and become a bar by night. They also serve sandwiches and pastries.
The best bar in the neighborhood. Great selection of beers. It's a good place for a group outings.
My favorite place to hang on a weekday afternoon. Make sure to get the ricotta with honey and crushed pistachios on toast.
eric mortensenAugust 21, 2014Solid beer list and higher end bar food. Bartenders have opinions about beer. Ask for recommendations.
Amy CoatesMarch 30, 2017A super casual and quiet bar at night. More happening place for a midday coffee
CaitlinJanuary 29, 2015Great cider selection, when you want more than Magners or Angry Orchard. $20 cc min.
The new weekend no screen policy is a bummer, but the new weekend brunch menu is great.
Chill place to get some work done and have a beer, coffee or kombucha.
Monica BarnesSeptember 14, 2013Amazing pickles, good grilled sandwiches, looks like a great cheese plate. Good local beer selection
Elishia ConstantineSeptember 18, 2012Great atmosphere. Local food. Local beer. Picnic tables. Good music. A must. Cash only. Pay at the bar.
The best bar in the neighborhood for craft beers. Sad though they don't have a happy hour.
Pratheeksha KSJanuary 24, 2019Laptop friendly bar with a great veggie burger and lots of beers on tap
They always have several IPAs on tap, free wifi, and lots of flat tables for laptops.
Zachary BlankDecember 21, 2014Beer hall / cafe. Get a coffee, or a beer or pastries. Get for an afternoon snack.
Good place to meet friends or coworkers. Ceilings as high as their beer list is long.- Silvie SenaukeMarch 28, 2015Great beer selection!! But don't come here if you don't want to be around lots of toddlers..
- drew tarvinMay 25, 2015The monthly Backfat show is one of the best indie-produced comedy shows in the city.
Delightful for morning coffee. Delicious for lunch. Amazing for evening craft beers!
Get the spicy pickles. Get the spicy pickles. Get the spicy pickles.
nice laptop and coffee spot by day/craft beer and chit-chat spot by night.
Great bar food and beer selection. Great space for groups too
Don't forget to bring your baby wipes you might have to wipe one down before you even get to your table!
Kombucha on tap! The babies to laptops ratio changes constantly throughout the day
Midday coffee meeting spot. Good place to gather after work - just outside Bergen F/G
Brian MasefieldNovember 1, 2014Cool, big space. Lively but very very loud, probably due to its (high-ceiling) design.
Come here for the opposite of a dive bar. Super high ceilings and nice light. Order the Flower Power in a 12 oz glass.
veggie burger salad (by Lucas) = yum. He's also a runner, so it's even better. ;)
Martin PApril 9, 2012Friendly local vibe, nice soundtrack, good selection of beers, and probably the best grilled cheese I've ever had.
Eunice KimFebruary 6, 2016Created my own flight - local beers were great! Love the atmosphere/open feel of the place
Leigh DeVoeJanuary 2, 2012The Hampshire, hard cheese plate, pickles and a latte, all amazing. My favorite Brooklyn lunch yet.
East End Blend Red Wine!!! Get yourself a glass. Trust me.
Come here for breakfast - Oslo Coffee pastries from Bien Cuit AND Van Leeuwen. Wifi + empty tables.
Louis MattaAugust 23, 2014Decent selections of beer & wine, nice bartenders. A solid but not mind-blowing Brooklyn hideaway bar.
Great place to get work dowe. Lots of wide open tables. Good food.
- Get the bergen Banh Mi. Very local and fresh ingredients
Anne FoulkeSeptember 14, 2010Roasted grape and gruyere melt -- YUM! I was lucky to catch a sneak peak of this cool new place. I can't wait for them to open so I can taste the toasty delights again.
