Bar Review: Cyn Lounge, Williamsburg

216 Bedford Ave
(between 5th St & 6th St)
Brooklyn, NY 11211


This bar hides nicely amongst the busy nightlife of Williamsburg. The jukebox has a great mix, and the $2 PBR's help. The bartender's are always happy and cheerful.

One of the sweetest things about this place is the back patio - where you can look out onto the happening streets. One of the best dive/rock bars in the area.

If you're like me then you are always trying to find the cheapest beer in the city. It's not that I'm cheap, I'm just poor. And just because I'm poor doesn't mean I have to stay in, I can still go out and spend a little.

Union Pool, Brooklyn

Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Williamsburg - South Side
484 Union Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11211

(718) 609-0484

The Union Pool just might be the beating heart of hipster nightlife. If you live in Brooklyn probably everyone you know has at least once been here. It's a fun bar, with a large patio in the back and also a large area inside. The Union Pool also has shows many nights a week in the back area, where there is also a bar.

Fun place to come to with friends. The bartender's work hard, so tip them well. There is however an overlooking presence of door-guys who at times may act more like bouncers then your local dive doorman. Nevertheless it's still a good place to go if you want to be among a spirited crowd. The bar usually breaks into a hipster dance floor at around midgnight, however most of the time it's four or five people doing the moves.

Drinks:
$3 PBR's
$5 shots and beers

Subway Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Williamsburg - South Side
527 Metropolitan
(between Lorimer St & Union Ave)
Brooklyn, NY 11211

(718) 218-7856

One of the best dive bars in the city. It's hardly ever full, and the smells remind you of the subway. It's located right above the G stop at Metropolitan Ave. Here you can always get a $2 PBR, and there's a good jukebox to choose from. It's dark inside, and usually has an older crowd. It's definetly a fun bar to go to. It's a sure stop if you want to get shit-hammered and talk crap with your friends.

The drinks are usually cheap:
$2 PBR's
$5 PBR and shot
