Reclaimed wood gives this Bed-Stuy bar a Midwest feel that carries through to its wines, ciders and beers. Try the domestic Stevens Point Special Lager. Be nice to the bartenders and you may get a generous pour of wine, too. DJs spin most nights and the patio area offers enough space to dance or people-watch.

Beast of Bourbon
Consider this your summer watering hole. The frozen beverage machines churn out whiskey concoctions like a mint juleps, while blues and rock n’ roll plays. Beast of Bourbon has more than 40 beers and 200 types of whiskey. Most drinks are under $5, but an $8, 40-ounce Miller High Life in a brown paper bag is good, too.
