Bee's Knees & Honey Lounge

We found this bar after a show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, it was just a short walk around the corner. It was moody, warm, fun, and inviting! This place is a vibe, they were playing lively music and had sports playing as well. Wasn't too loud, a very pleasant experience. They have a really long bar and booths for seating. This is a great spot for groups. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and personable. We just had drinks. They had great local beer options, but it was all canned beers nothing on draft. They had a pretty extensive cocktail and whiskey menu with some really tasty options. Great bar to hang out at and have some drinks. They seem to have a solid food menu for happy hour, weekend brunch, and dinner. Will definitely come back and try their food. This bar is worth a visit!

This place is so cute!! A dark and moody vibe that becomes super lively once people start coming in around 2ish. The cocktails are incredible and staff super friendly! The French fries are totally recommended. The music was also such a vibe!!

Not bad, but also not great? Loved the chill vibe and friendly service but the drinks were a bit mediocre and the ambience was ok. I could see this as fitting more of a friends than a date vibe. An ok place for one drink, but I couldn't see myself hanging out here all night.

We stopped by on a weekend mid afternoon for a little snack and some drinks. It was quite empty (not surprising given the time of day) and the servers were very attentive. The space is quite large with large tables and so I would recommend for larger parties as well. We enjoyed the drinks but thought our food was just okay. I'd love to visit again to try more of their food!

Popped in here before my facial at glowbar and was so pleasantly surprised! The drinks are all interesting, as is the food, but the Japanese whiskey menu is certainly one of the best in the neighborhood! there are so many options at different price points, they also have a flight of 1oz pours! The service is also great here, friendly bar tenders and fast orders, the bar itself is really cute with nice leather backs to booth side of tables and a nice long bar - I could see this being the perfect place for a birthday party or some celebration! Will def be back!

Stopped by here on a Saturday night with a group of friends to grab drinks. Definitely busy, but we were lucky enough to be sat right away. They had a good drink selection, and drinks were decent. They also have a full menu, but we didn't grab any food while we were here.Definitely a louder restaurant with music and talking.They do accept reservations, so definitely keep that in mind if you're planning on coming. Good place to stop for some drinks.

There seems to be a surge in New American restaurants all coming up in Brooklyn/Williamsburg, however, Bee's Knees stands above many I've tried. Easy Resy for an anniversary, the vibe is very chic and modern, but not too loud nor to sterile. Great happy hour and daily deals plus the cocktail list is plenty enough to come here for. They have a huge selection of spirits and nice curated selection of wines and cocktails. My fiance and I both had the bee's knees, and it was very, very tasty. The calamari was outstanding. Perfectly fried, lots of delicious pieces, and a dipping sauce I could've drank. Typically I love the marinara, but this herbal dipping sauce (what it says in the description), was bright, citrus forward, tasty beyond belief. The seared salmon medium rare was perfect. Shout out to our server for just knocking it out of the park with the kitchen communication - and shout out to the chef, man this was a tasty salmon. I loved the side lemon kale salad, great counterbalance. The salmon was melt in your mouth medium rare, the crust on it was excellent, and it was a pretty big portion. Would come back here in an absolute heartbeat.

Went here on Halloween and loved the vibe. They decorated the place so well to the point I wondered how they did it. Drinks were nice and strong. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Are the appetizers only, but judging by them, the other food should be good, too.

Really lovely cocktail bar in Williamsburg. The interior was very industrial chic and dimly lit. We came Saturday night and it wasn't crowded yet thankfully and were able to immediately sit at the bar. They had two floors of seating and plenty of high top table options as well. We got the bees knees, the banana stand, and some truffle fries to share. Really enjoyed the bee's knees and the fries. The aioli sauce that came with the truffle fries was amazing. Looking forward to coming again and trying more of their cocktails and food.

A new cocktail bar on Kent Ave, that not only serves great cocktails but delicious food too. If you're not sure what to get, I'd recommend getting the Bee's Knees cocktail to start. If you're hungry, the Chicken Burger was delicious and so were the fries. This spot has great ambiance, is dimly lit, doesn't seem to get all that crowded and the staff is super friendly. I'd high recommend visiting with friends or going on a date!
