"Intimate" doesn't do it justice. You'll be packed so tight you'll have to change your relationship status on Facebook. What it lacks in space it more than makes up for in authenticity .

Adela Mou

You can find the best trivia in the city here on Wednesdays. Prepare to feel like a dummy but have fun. And come early for the happy hour !

raymondweil

What more can you ask for when you have fantastic happy hour deals and awesome entertainment? Head over on Monday (Spelling Bee ) or Wednesday (Trivia ) nights! Be Independent and free.

this is a place where you can chill up front with friends over cheap beers , catch a show in an intimate back room , and maybe spot a cast member of Girls. i'm not big on this area, but i'd come back.

Kaschief Johnson

Great place for first dates, live music and cheap happy hour drinks . Really cozy and look out for the surprise backyard .

Erik Schomburg

The music room gets crowded , but it’s a wonderful spot in the neighborhood , with some really great music and spoken word.

shea

One of my few regular spots. Don't go for the live music , do go for the super rad backyard , good drinks, & bartenders . Order a stella w/lemonade in the summer & a cider with whiskey in the winter.

Ally Mann

Awesome hidden back patio . You can rent it out for events . Also a few variations of a beer and a shot deal.

Calvin Teoh

One of my favorite neighborhood bars . Quaint and really chill . A great place to start the night. Free live local music plays in the back room too!

Fodor's Travel

Nope, it's not a candy store , it's an intimate bar that hosts nightly music performances as well as spelling bees , bingo , and a "quizz-off" contest every Wednesday night. Read more

An absolute legend, the trivia on Wednesdays is the hardest in the city with amazing prizes to match. Bar staff is incredible. What a time.

Live music on Sunday nights! They have local artists come in and perform , from singing to poetry to jokes! Worth all the entertainment.

In it's first years of operation, the storefront ran as a general store and was known by the nickname Funzi’s.

On Sundays at 4, pastor Jim Bakker, son of uber-famous televangelists Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker, leads a service in the back. Happy hour beer specials during the service.

Girls happened here. Marnie leaned in and performed on her own here. ???? There's somethin' in the air tonight. Maybe there's a fire burnin' out in Riverside. ????

Steven Lambiase

favorite backyard in williamsburg. beautiful trees block the sun while still being able to catch a cool breeze. Cheap beers .

Vince Frisina

Good beer , cool venue for small shows. The space is tight but it makes for great energy.

Absolutely love this place, try and come when there is live music , the setting is intimate .

It is a good place to eat food. It is a good place to listen to the rock music . They can really rock it out. Rock over London, Rock on Chicago, Wheaties, the breakfast of champions.
