The Starlight Tavern

This is such a nice, chill bar with really nice bartenders. I've met some other nice customers on the few times I've been here too. The Cosmopolitan is fantastic. As for food, they have a lot of choices on their menu but so far I've just had the deviled eggs (very good when you just want a light bite) and the macaroni and cheese (also very good). I need to try more things still. I'm impressed to see that they even have a brunch menu! So far I've only been there in the early evening.This was a great find and I'm not always in Williamsburg but I'll definitely be back again when I can swing it.

I honestly, LOVE this place. Not only for some good f'n food but for some cocktails. The atmosphere is welcoming, like a friend's house. The backyard is top-notch. The amount of work that it must've taken to make this place as enjoyable as it is - is in itself amazing - especially because its one of the first places in the neighborhood to reinvent the local spaces. I cannot say enough, this place is the t-ey-t-s. Spelled it out to avoid nonsenses, but you get the idea. If you get the opportunity, also check out the Bushwick Country Club a few doors down. Best bar hopping experience I've had in Brooklyn in a very, very long time.

This cute dive feels like a home away from home, with living room vibes and delicious cheap eats that surpass all bar food options in the neighborhood. The bartenders are sweethearts, the music is on point (ranging from post-punk classics to Nigerian jams to 1970s French Yeye), and the backyard is a spacious delight (effervescently populated with fireflies in the summer). It's never too crowded, which makes me feel like it's Williamsburg's best kept secret.I recommend the $5 deviled eggs (laid over an abundant amount of mixed greens!), the $9 tacos (3 per order), and whatever soup they offer at the time. Specials change regularly. I'm hooked on the fresh ginger juice they offer as a mixer. Yum!

I really loved this place! Came in on a Sunday afternoon and was met by a very sweet and friendly bartender, whose name I'm going to add in as soon as I remember it. As others have said, the decor is 70's kitsch without being overbearing or contrived: wood paneling, retro ketchup and mustard bottles, vinyl booths, skee ball, stained glass, a TV set fishtank. It's exactly like sitting in someone's basement living room with great music and a food menu to satisfy your munchies. The deviled eggs are solid. Will be back!

Great local dive bar in the area! They have some cheap eats here, great place to come after a few drinks for a low-key hang out. Tried their pierogies and they were better than I expected. They have a cocktail list, beers, well drinks etc. and I love the low light ambiance and good music here. Will be back for sure :)

Best steak I have had in a long time - the special with a mushroom cream sauce. I adore a good steak, and this lived up to what I want and expect, yet not like your typical steak house. It was cooked to perfection (medium rare) accompanied by a mix of vegetables and lightly seasoned new potatoes. My husband ordered the Shepard's pie and while I only had a bite, I thought it was delicious. I washed all of that down with a few slushy Negroni's. Mmmh The beer selection will be next on my list of things to try. I adore the atmosphere, staff, and every little minute detail that have gone into this establishment. My only regret is not living closer, otherwise I would be a regular. I wish I could create a room like this in my future house someday... Great lighting, cozy and inviting with a nostalgic feel. Side note: The old school TV fish tank! My toddler son was incredibly entertained by it.

I'm so glad this bar was here for us before the Rona, and I'm looking forward to when they're back at it. They serve my favorite cocktails, and the meats just can't be beat! The staff have always been friendly and kind (a rarity when you know this is the same block as the Bushwick Country Club) and I have yet to find anything on the menu that I don't love. High marks!

This was a nice spot for some drinks and small plates to enjoy. Came here with my other half. One of the bartenders was nice. I asked for hot sauce and he gave me a whole selection of sauces for me to pick one. Had the chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was too dry for my taste.

I live right around the corner and have been meaning to try this place forever. So glad I finally did! The meal was delicious and the overall vibe is great!We ordered the scallop mac and cheese and the steak. The mac and cheese was AMAZING. 100% recommend. The steak was really good, but not the best steak ever. Solid, but I think a bit hyped after reading all these reviews. The place has a nice dive bar feel, without the skeevy vibe of being dirty. Will be back for sure!

Stopped by after work with a friend on a weeknight. Such a nice cozy vibe! The ambiance and music were great! And the bartender was very friendly and helpful with drink recommendations. Got some fried pickles as well which were amazing.
