The Best Bars in Greenpoint, New York City

Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Greenpoint lies just north of the ever-eclectic Williamsburg neighborhood, which is probably why the most popular bars in the area are anything but ordinary. Technically a beer shop, Brouwerij Lane has an excellent selection of IPAs, porters and lagers. Be sure to try a few before you buy. It hosts bar seating and a relaxing backyard terrace, where you can end your day with one of its craft brews.

The Black Rabbit, located on bustling Greenpoint Avenue, is the definition of a dark and moody bar. Stop by to warm up by its fireplace or cozy up in a booth. If you’re craving some German grub, be sure to try its delicious bratwurst. Bringing some friends? The bar also has a beer garden and a selection of board games.

It’s a bit surprising to walk into an NYC bar that’s decently spacious – with high ceilings and an actual backyard – but that’s what makes this bar’s Greenpoint location so unique. The retro-meets-millennial, almost tropical-glam theme at The Springs provides a lounging atmosphere as well as an excellent creative license for cocktail making. With tasty fruit cocktails, slushies and creative seasonal drinks, the bar has a warming effect any time of year. Plus, it offers food options from Fornino.

Broken Land is your typical neighborhood bar, complete with handcrafted cocktails, local beers and wines, plus a backyard that’s open all year round. It’s an unfussy spot to fulfill your drinking needs. Broken Land has great deals on beers and cocktails and is also the perfect place to host your next party or event.

If you’re looking for a whiskey bar, The Moonlight Mile is your spot. Sporting more than 200 American whiskeys, this is the whiskey bar of choice in Greenpoint. Get down with its free jukebox or explore the local artwork hanging on the walls, but most importantly, try one of its innovative, handcrafted whiskey cocktails.

If you’re looking for craft beer, look no further – Greenpoint Beer and Ale Company is here to fill all of your craft beer needs. From its Greenpoint IPA to its Vert Mont, you’ll want to try one of each. It’s currently closed while renovating its new space, but follow its website and social media accounts to find out when it reopens.
