Afi Yellow-DukeDecember 31, 2015came here with a friend and a great time chatting at the bar. I don't come to Greenpoint often, but this place has a great setup, a fun/chill vibe and is cheap (but not in a dive-y way).
Tony XerriMay 29, 2019Good shuffleboard spot with great draught beer selection and cute little outdoor area. Not amazing but certainly good for Greenpoint.
Jim TaylorApril 9, 2015Boasting one of Greenpoint’s most extensive beer selections, The Diamond is renowned for it’s ‘extra-curricular’ activities such as shuffleboard and darts in a chilled, unpretentious atmosphere. Read more
The Corcoran GroupJuly 10, 2013A great place to grab a beer and sit outdoors when it's nice out. Try to snag a seat in the old gondola they have in the back for a unique drinking experience!
Elysia MannAugust 21, 2016Great drink menu, good wine and draft selection, porch out back, cheese olives pickles THIS PLACE HAS IT ALL!
Time Out New YorkJune 11, 2013Not only does this Greenpoint bar have a lovely backyard, complete with a gondola repurposed for seating, but it also offers plenty of session beers with an ABV of 5 percent or less. Read more
My buddy Ted is the bartender. Always plays great music. Small outside space too.
CarolynJanuary 19, 2015Great bartenders and drink selection. The backyard is great in the summertime and they sell hot dogs out there sometimes. Try the boiled peanuts and play shuffleboard.
Greg GrabowySeptember 28, 2014They serve Blast, this amazing IPA from Brooklyn Brewery. It's the only place I know that has it.
GothamistJune 6, 2012If the free shuffleboard, excellent jukebox, sweet murals and ample outdoor seating doesn't do it for you, how about the fucking gondola. Also: a hard-as-hell, horseshoe-esque game called Quoits.
Ryan JorgensonNovember 8, 2014Beer and wine (cask and mulled in the colder months, shuffleboard, small bites, a nice outdoor space, good music.
Kai HsingAugust 17, 2014One of the few places to get a good game of shuffleboard and taste some well curated brews, while never being too crowded.
With their beer selection, shuffleboard and roomy back deck with horseshoes, its a wonder this spot always strikes the optimal crowd/room balance.
Brew YorkApril 23, 2012Enjoy some great craft beer here (including one on cask), play a game of shuffleboard, then head to the backyard to sip beer in the old gondola car from Gore Mountain!
Abner AcevesSeptember 23, 2015Shuffleboard and Backyard. Always amazing beers on tap and on the menu. Great bar
Tessa LawMarch 16, 2016Beer and wine only but it doesn't matter because of the great backyard and great shuffleboard!
CompassMay 14, 2014This beer bar has brews that are decidedly lower in alcohol content but boast immense flavor. Plus, there’s shuffleboard here.
Whoever designed this place should receive some sort of award. Unorthodox windows, shuffleboard, neat art, well displayed tap list, and mountain gondola car. Huzzah!
Greenpoint's gourmet beer bar where you'll get that rare cask ale of which only four barrels were ever made and only one ever made it to the US. (Sign up for the newsletter and you'll understand)
Village VoiceNovember 11, 2011Winner of Best Place to Get Drunk Inside a Gondola in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Get drunk in the gondola, obviously.
Kathryn DApril 25, 2018It’s a bar; has small but workable outdoor space and reasonably priced drinks.
Justin MascioSeptember 13, 2011Quoits are rural Pennsylvanian garage game based on the allegory that drinking games are fun. Just mind your ankles, your partner isn't as good as you think they are.
love this spot. play shuffleboard or sit in the back yard in the apple car thing.
If you are on the patio, make sure to try the weird variation of horseshoes that makes getting a ringer a near physical impossibility.
Chris VodolaDecember 29, 2012I'm going to break some new ground on the tips and say this place has shuffleboard.
Meredith ModzelewskiMarch 3, 2011Cute 'n cozy bar that specializes in session beers. Ask for tastes and get something yummy.
Good place for a pint, but it closes at unpredictable times.
- Shuffleboard and cider. A recipe for an awesome Friday night.
