Afi Yellow-DukeJuly 16, 2015Come to this spot right off of the Williamsburg Bridge during happy hour for a beer + a free shot. Also good for dates, with solid service, nice decor (namely the windows and seats), and great tunes.
For such a little kitchen POWB packs a crazy punch. Try pickles, oysters, and whatever is listed as a special. Love the chick liver bacon sandy. Get the whiskey sour fresh squeezed. N dont be a pussy
Jenny SorensenApril 8, 2015A cozy bar great for a whiskey cocktail, a rich, buttery grilled sandwich or hot bowl of soup, Post Office is always dark and gorgeous, with it’s beautiful big windows and bar styling. Read more
Dan UckoJanuary 16, 2018Cozy little spot in Williamsburg that mostly attracts locals. The most expensive cocktail is $13 and is delicious, so on NYC standards prices aren’t too bad.
Serious EatsApril 22, 2013This whiskey-centric bar makes smart cocktails and draws a more civilized crowd than many of its Williamsburg neighbors. The food menu—comfort food with some twists—is no slouch.
Erin H.May 12, 2015Great cocktails, wait staff is accommodating to the point they will try to rearrange tables to fit your party but without interrupting the moving party (pickle backs for all)
ᴡ mcgeeNovember 20, 2011Been skeptical about Mint Juleps in NYC but this place makes a good one. Sage Cuc Julep is great too. For warm drinks, hot toddy & spiked hot chocolate is tasty. For food, pulled pork for the win!
Drinks aside, the food here is on point. The chicken liver and bacon and pulled pork sandwiches are a must. Oysters and tartare are also highly recommended.
Ben K.August 11, 2013Cool, cozy spot with great cocktails and a solid bourbon and rye selection. Eat the deviled eggs and pulled pork on a seeded brioche roll.
Petey PJune 25, 2016Everything is amazing. You can't go wrong here. Probably my favorite bar for late night weekends for a chill vibe and small plates.
Red & BrownMay 12, 2015You should be ordering a whiskey and the chicken liver and bacon sandwich. If a book full of whiskey isn't enough, the cocktails are great too.
Tanya VorontsovaJune 6, 2017Great choice of whiskey with detailed descriptions on the menu. Good food! Cocktails are great! Cozy design and friendly people.
Nazary NebelukAugust 17, 2014Great selection of brown liquids of every kind. The staff is super nice and will help you find a whiskey or bourbon you'll enjoy. The food is alright though, so don't come hungry
First We FeastAugust 4, 2014This whiskey-driven Williamsburg bar takes its name from Charles Bukowski's debut novel, but fortunately it doesn't take any cues from the drunk-lit master infamously nutritionless eating habits. Read more
everything is awesome. The chicken liver bacon sandwich is great with their cocktails & if you're feeling overwhelmed with drink choices ask the bartender/server to surprise you. They know their shit!
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the chicken-liver baguette, with rich chicken-liver mousse; crisp bacon; sriracha-infused mayo; & crunchy frisée coated in green-apple vinaigrette. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011 Read more
Sanjeev BrarJanuary 25, 2013If you're the DJ loving type, the bartender's playlist is usually top notch. I'm currently here just for the shrimp tacos which are freaking excellent.
Since you were wise enough to step in this gem, don't be a fool and not order the pull pork sandwich. Top that with the Bermuda triangle and you'll be a happy camper.
Leah HammerschlagMay 22, 2015Didn't like the "all choked up" so they comped me a new drink. I did quite enjoy the New York sour. Good service, nice vibe. Will be back- You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. It's absolutely perfect. But if I had to pick, the Bermuda triangle to start and the pork slider to finish it off.
Jason KooMarch 28, 2014This is a little hidden gem under the BQE. The bacon grilled cheese is amazing. And they know how to make an old fashioned.
Mara LecocqNovember 22, 2014Nice cocktails and vibe. Not crowded on a Friday night which is a huge plus.
No doubt carries one of the best & largest selections of brown liquor in the borough of Brooklyn. Pair any one of them with the Chicken Liver sandwich.
If you love yourself, eat the Chicken Bacon Liver sando. If you don't love yourself, eat the Chicken Bacon Liver sandwich. Then you WILL love yourself.- First We FeastAugust 4, 2014Order this: Chicken-liver sandwich, grilled cheese with bacon, deviled eggs, oysters Read more
It's amazing how food that good can come out of a kitchen that small. Chicken liver bacon sandwich is always a winner.
Ashley MillerAugust 8, 2014Cocktails are good and strong. The deviled eggs and bread pudding are worth it for a late night snack.
Solid happy hour, great staff, cool chairs; like the vibe. Also mint juleps.
Holly DowellSeptember 15, 2016The staff is super friendly and the drinks are always good. Cozy, fun spot!
Ebee DFebruary 5, 2015Solid Old Fashion. Delicious Ploughmans Platter; More than enough for a light dinner)
Michael GratzFebruary 25, 2012Solid crew, stellar grub. More places should take note: few menu options, all done really really well. Spotless bathroom is a bonus.
Danny TrejoAugust 9, 2015This place has excellent cocktails. Food is good. Hard metal music ruined the atmosphere.
Jordan CrookSeptember 24, 2014Cheese and meat plate is not bad. Ask the bartender for a custom drink. They are smart.
The Apple Betty is so delicious, crisp and not overly sweet! The coq au vin is a seriously tasty stew - DO IT.
The Spark GroupJune 6, 2011Great ambiance, great staff, great whiskey. Be adventurous and ask the staff for recommendations. They know what they're talking about.
Linnea ZielinskiFebruary 20, 2013If you're looking for a bourbon, try the Buffalo Trace. It's difficult to find, but Post Office has it!
Sarah Judd WelchDecember 6, 2012Nostalgia-buttered grilled cheese, glut-smoked chicken liver sandwich, guilt-rimmed bourbon neat. Allow yourself to indulge here.
DamonJanuary 7, 2013Huge whiskey menu with some surprisingly cheap options, deviled eggs, grilled cheese with bacon, Misfits.
Gabriela BMarch 11, 20137 page long cocktail list. The Benedictine is unforgettable. And they have a killer tomato soup..
Averna USAMay 23, 2012Come in on Monday nights for the Averna "Beer 'n a Shot" special for just $5. It's a great way to warm up before indulging in their famous Steak Tartare!
Shikhiu IngFebruary 14, 2013OMG chicken liver bacon sandwich... So good.. Of course if you hate chicken liver don't get it silly face
Charles BSeptember 16, 2011If you are here on a Thursday get the burger!! The oysters are awesome. Old fashion off the hook.
