The best part about New York City is that you never have to travel too far for a cold drink and some pub fare. If you happen to find yourself in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and in need of a beer or two, check out one of these 10 awesome bars.
Greenpoint is located just north of the ever-eclectic Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, which is probably why the most popular bars in the area are anything but ordinary. Technically a beer shop, Brouwerji Lane has the most interesting selection of IPAs, porters, and lagers around. Be sure to try a few before you buy. They host bar seating and a relaxing backyard terrace, where you can end your day with one of their Greenpoint Jamaica Bay IPAs.
The Black Rabbit, located on the vivacious Greenpoint Avenue, is the definition of a dark, moody bar. Stop by to warm up by their fireplace or cozy up in a booth. If you’re craving some German grub, be sure to try their delicious Bratwurst. Bringing some friends? They are home to a beer garden and even stock board games.
If you’re looking for craft beer, look no further – Greenpoint Beer & Ale Company is here to fill all of your craft beer needs. From their Enduro brew to their Milk & Honey, you’ll want to try one of each.
Ramona, a ‘sister’ bar to Elsa in the East Village, is a family-operated establishment that serves various drinks and cocktails.
