LOCAL BARS TO VISIT IN BROOKLYN, NY
Bar Beau
61 Withers St
A specialty all-day cafe and cocktail, Bar Beau is a home away from home where locals meet for high quality food and drink at any time of day. Open daily, Bar Beau consists of a street-facing coffee shop that opens up at night into a hidden and elegant cocktail bar in the back.
Clover Club
210 Smith St
Clover Club is the premiere cocktail bar in Brooklyn, but more accurately it’s a Brooklyn cocktail bar. Which means no velvet rope, a low-key, neighborhood vibe, live jazz from time-to-time and a cozy back room with a fireplace. Oh, and really good brunch.
Goldie’s
195 Nassau Ave
With its neon lighting, leather booths and dark interior, Goldie’s looks like a Vegas cocktail lounge from the ‘60s, which is exactly the vibe it’s going for. Goldie’s is a down-to-earth beer and shots bar that is the perfect hangout for local or visitor alike.
Grand Army
336 State St
There’s no better way to describe the Grand Army than by calling it a neighborhood bar. A seafood bar located in Boerum Hill, Grand Army is a comfortable, but high-class place that raises the “bar” on what a neighborhood should be.
Grand Republic Cocktail Club
19 Greenpoint Ave
A cross between a dive bar, a high-end cocktail lounge and a dockside tavern, Grand Republic Cocktail Club is uniquely Brooklyn.

Hunky Dory
747 Franklin Ave
