Whether you have something to celebrate or its just
been a long week, sometimes you just need a cold
one. Where better to go to wet your whistle than
to Brooklyn’s best watering hole? To put it frankly,
Brooklyn just wouldn’t be Brooklyn without the
Bean Post Pub. Serving the community since 1982,
Bean Post Pub is famous for the coldest and best
selection of tap beer in Bay Ridge. The bar now
offers over 70 different types of diverse beers and
150 liquor varieties. Its wings have earned the
reputation as some of the best around, served in
six different styles and doused in over 35 flavors.
Hosting an event? The pub also provides catering
services offering trays of wings, party heroes and
more!
BEST BAR FOR
PLAYING HOOKY (DAY
DRINKING)
THE KETTLE BLACK
8622 3rd Ave Brooklyn
(718) 680-7862 www.kettleblackbar.com
Don’t feel like going to work? Take a personal
day and head to The Kettle Black, a chill spot
with wings, drinks and good times that will make
you forget about the weekly grind. Here, you can
order a huge plate of wings with several different
sauces, or just some drinks which are always
well made and at an affordable price. The Kettle
Black’s shrimp sandwich special may be a delicious
surprise with horseradish sauce for some, but it has
become a spot for locals to enjoy a drink, or several
during the middle of the day. With an abundance
of seating availability, it’s not surprising as to why
locals voted The Kettle Black the best place to play
hooky in Brooklyn.
BEST BAR

BARCADE
388 Union Ave Brooklyn

Who doesn’t love game night? It’s the best of
both worlds at Barcade, which is why it’s the
best in BK when it comes to bars with games and
entertainment. Barcade is the original arcade bar: a
combination bar and arcade with a focus on classic
arcade games and American craft beer. There are
currently eight locations in New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and California — but in
Brooklyn, there’s no place quite like its outcove on
Union Avenue. Stop by, order up a cold one, and
have a little fun testing your luck at one of Barcade’s
70-plus classic arcade and pinball machines. We
promise you won’t regret it — unless you lose, in
which case, we bet you’ll just want to play again!
