    Come 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.

    A 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

    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

    Cozy 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.

    Been 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!

    This 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.

    Great 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

    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.

    This 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 amazing. You can't go wrong here. Probably my favorite bar for late night weekends for a chill vibe and small plates.

    Cool, cozy spot with great cocktails and a solid bourbon and rye selection. Eat the deviled eggs and pulled pork on a seeded brioche roll.

    You 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.

    Try 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

    Great 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)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    This is a little hidden gem under the BQE. The bacon grilled cheese is amazing. And they know how to make an old fashioned.

    If 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.

    Didn'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

    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.

    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.

    Cocktails are good and strong. The deviled eggs and bread pudding are worth it for a late night snack.

    Come 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!

    It's amazing how food that good can come out of a kitchen that small. Chicken liver bacon sandwich is always a winner.

    Solid crew, stellar grub. More places should take note: few menu options, all done really really well. Spotless bathroom is a bonus.

    Nostalgia-buttered grilled cheese, glut-smoked chicken liver sandwich, guilt-rimmed bourbon neat. Allow yourself to indulge here.
