Alligator Lounge - come for the affordable drinking, stay for the free personal pizza to soak up that booze. This unique offering makes it a staple in Williamsburg and I for one, am a huge fan. I wished I lived closer because finding a gem like this is rare in NYC. Food / Booze: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

This place is a 10/10 for me. I spent countless nights as a broke 20-something eating and drinking like a queen here and at Crocodile Lounge (RIP), and decided to come back for a visit after my most recent rewatch of "The Rehearsal." At around 8:30 on a Saturday it was packed. Ambiance here is dive bar in the best way. I was lucky enough to find a few bar stools after waiting a decent amount of time a few folks deep to order at the bar. Bartenders, despite the constant rush, were friendly and helpful here. The White Claw + tequila shot combo that I remembered having not too long ago here is no longer on the menu, so I decided to just go with a mixed drink (which is still only something like $8 for a well) and stick with that. For every drink you drink, you get a free personal pizza which you redeem with the pizza guys. Plain pizzas come out pretty quick, but if you want a topping (for a $1) it's a bit more of a wait. This is a tough place to come solo, you ideally need one person holding down your bar seats while the other does the pizza run for this to be most efficient. We left here having had five drinks and two shots, with five pizzas total, for something like $60 including tip. Pretty sure this is one of the only, if not the only spot left where being drunk and full for $30 each is a possibility. read more

Alligator Lounge - Free pizza with every drink - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped by Alligator Lounge after dinner. Pitcher of beer was $22. You get a pizza voucher for every drink! Which was super interesting. Nice combo if you wanted to carb up. Seating in the back. Not a fan of their TP placement in their bathroom haha. read more

Free mini personal pizza with each drink? Say less. We came here to start off the night around 8pm on a Saturday. It was crowded, but the bartenders worked really quick to get everyone's orders. I had shots and mixed drinks throughout the night where we accumulated so many pizza tickets. Mixed drinks were $9 and they had 4 shot deals for only $25. There's also a variety of beer and shot deals all for under $10. Seriously, it's such a good deal to come drink here. For each drink, you also get a red ticket to claim a mini personal pizza. For the pizza, head over to the pizza oven and say how many cheese pizza you want and hand over the tickets. Note that you can only order one pizza per person at a time, so you can get it for the whole group or saving it for later. Despite that, the pizzas came out quick! We went back a few more times and some time we had to wait 10 minutes. Either way, I'm not complaining because it's free. Even without much expectation, the pizza is delicious! It's thin, crispy, and full of flavor for being just sauce and cheese. I seriously love this spot and will definitely make my way over whenever I'm in Williamsburg. It's such a fun, affordable, and yummy spot! read more

Alligator Lounge - Free personal pizzas. - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Come for a party for my bestfriend. 10 people mid way through the night waiting in line for the bathroom for over 8 minutes security lets a random cut me in line cause they playing pool. We go back and forth, dude calls me a dumbass and tests me to be quiet. Weak security who thinks they have to exert authority over a bathroom line. Weak ass experience, security think they tough about the bathroom line. Sad experience, otherwise was good: but tainted it. Security trying to mess up a good night and was successful. Place blows read more

This was my first time going our in Williamsburg! My friends and I got there around 9pm on a Friday and it was not too crowded. Bartenders were quick with our drinks and very efficient. For $10ish, you get a drink and a personal pizza! Pros: -affordable drinks ($10 cocktails and $8 mixed drinks) -PIZZA with drinks -music was not too loud, you can still talk and hear conversation -pool table and karaoke available Considerations -would LOVE if they had a (free) coat rack available that we can all risk our coats on... this is NYC after all... it gets cold. or even like hooks under the tables -some of the tables were wobbly so get those screws tightened When we left around midnight, it was very crowded. If we arrived then, we wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as we did. read more

Alligator Lounge - Pizza and s*x in brooklyn drink - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My friends brought me here on a Thurs night, the drinks were decently priced ($7-10) and the best part is that you get a ticket for a cheese personal sized pizza!! The front room had a pool table and the back room had karaoke and a photo booth. Def fun place to stop by while bae hopping! read more

Alligator Lounge - Pizza comes with the purchase of a drink - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here for karaoke - had a fun experience! Process was smooth and my friends and I had a great time. Pizza line was incredibly long (of course) and quite disorganized. Restrooms were also filthy but whatever, it is expected. read more

I checked this bar out because I am a fan of Nathan Fielder. They gave out free pizza for every drink offered and the pies were small but were good and thin crust. The staff also made the pies really quick. I enjoyed the place but wish there were more seating options. But enjoyed that they had karaoke, a photo-booth, pool table and other games. read more

Alligator Lounge - Cheese Pizza - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went here for a social event. It was okay, but the bar was a bit cramped for the group. You can get a little pizza if you buy a drink at the bar. So, that's neat. I don't drink, so I didn't get to experience that, but if it's your thing, could be a nice spot to visit. read more

Wow! This bar is amazing. Free pizza with every beer. Now that's a good deal. They also have a great trivia night on Mondays

Love, love, love this bar! I used to go to Crocodile in the city and was so sad that it closed down, so when I found out they had a sister bar in Williamsburg, I had to check it out! This is a great dive bar to come with friends. Similar to Crocodile Lounge, whenever you purchase a drink, you receive a ticket which you can use to get your own personal pizza. The pizzas are actually pretty tasty and come out extra hot, so beware before indulging right away. The bartenders are pretty attentive, given how busy the bar can get. I will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

Came here a few weeks ago on a Friday and immediately fell in love with the place because they were playing Zeppelin, Audioslave, Stone Temple Pilots, and on and on. It was effin sexy. Any how I went back yesterday and the place was packed front to back and idk who was playing music but it was NOT it. People are trying to meet, mingle, be a little spicy. No one wants to hear "We are family" on a packed Saturday night when everyone's looking their best. The music was sooo corny. I mean good music in its own right but NOT the time for it. Still leaving 5 stars because service and prices are top notch and can't be beat. Cheers. read more

Free Pizza is enough reason to go, so lets start right there. Very unpretentious bar with a chill ambiance and a nice range of patrons. Indoor and outdoor seating as well as pool tables this bar offers something for everyone. Range of beers and liquors to satisfy your needs. Service is standard and prompt. read more

My friend invited me to a Bingo Night, and I had freaking blast. The bartender is the reason one star was taking off because he seemed like he was over it by the time we pulled up. Which is fine; I get it (he was by himself), but it wasn't a busy, busy night. If youvorder a drink you a get FREE pizza but toppings are $1.00 each that you ONLY buy the bar. The pepperoni was slamming in general. It's a typical bar so the atmosphere was cool and open. The have an outside also.. read more

Great concept dive: reasonably priced drinks, and you get a free personal-sized cheese pizza with every order (toppings available for $1 each). Yes, that means you can get a beer & shot combo plus pizza for $9 (plus tip). And in Williamsburg nonetheless! I added bacon and jalapeño to my pizza, and it was as divine as you can get on a Thursday read more

My boyfriend dragged me to this bar on our NYC vacation because of a tv show he really likes. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy myself here, but I ended up having a pretty memorable experience! Drinks are very reasonably priced and you get a free pizza with every drink purchase. They also have karaoke which I loved. Service was great! read more

Alligator Lounge - thank you alligator lounge - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was a fun bar to hang out in on a Friday night. The best part was that you got a free pizza for every beer ordered. Their beer selection is pretty good here, too. I tried two different IPA ones, and they both tasted great. The beer prices were not that expensive either. Since the pizzas we had were free, you only had to pay $1 for a topping, so we tried the pepperoni and sausage. I must say, for a free pizza, they were very good. The perfect food to have after having some beers. We were sitting at the bar area while hanging out, and it was pretty spacious. The bartenders were nice and efficient in asking if we wanted additional drinks. Overall, we had a great time here. This is a fun spot, and I would come back again. read more

The Alligator Lounge is a great (and super cheap) spot! I've been several times for their Monday night trivia at 8pm which is always a good time. Be warned though that the trivia does tend to run rather long and usually takes around 3 hours. They also have a pool table! But the real reason you should come to this place is because every drink comes with a free personal pizza. Even $5 beers include a pizza! This place feels inflation-proof and you really can't find a better deal anywhere else. I will say that the pizzas are definitely more on the light side (honestly, they could use more sauce and cheese) but who am I to complain about a $5 beer and pizza combo. read more

The bartender Mickey made our night incredible!! We came for a birthday and she was absolutely wonderful :) couldn't recommend more

How can you not like this spot? It has cheap drinks, free pizza and everybody in the neighborhood is basically here. It was pretty packed at 8pm on a saturday whereas most bars would be dead during that time. I don't know how this place isn't losing money but it is what it is. My only feedback is that I wished they took away the pool table so there's more space. I love pool but it gets so packed here, how can you actually enjoy playing here? You'd always be asking people to move out of the way read more

This bar, without a doubt, has one of the most interesting gimmicks we've ever seen, but we'll get into that in a minute. Alligator Lounge is a popular bar located in Williamsburg that gives off a strong college/recent grad energy. It is very packed and seating is at a premium. Beware navigating this bar can be tricky as a lot of people clog up the walkways so grip your drinks extra hard. They have skee ball and pool and the interior is decorated nicely, one of the better looking bars we've seen on our trip. They have a great selection of drinks and specials so it's easy to find something that you and others will want to drink. And their gimmick? If you buy a drink you get a free personal pizza, we kid you not. You get a voucher when purchasing a drink and take that to the guys in the back and they make it there for you. You can pay a dollar extra and add on toppings but that's a Costco-esque deal right there. To keep it short, this place reeks of fun and it's easy to see why it was a go to spot for what felt like the entire neighborhood on that night out. read more

One of the best spots to pregame in the city. Come hungry, as each drink comes with a free personal pizza (additional toppings available at an extra cost). There's a pool table in the middle of the bar, and arcade area in the back where they host trivia and karaoke night. The bar was featured in The Rehearsal, so they have some fun themed drinks like the Nathan Fielder. While this bar gets packed, the bartenders are quick to take your order and serve you. read more

Alligator Lounge - Free pizza - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's a dive bar but it is literally so much more. We may have had a bit of a different experience than the norm as we went on the earlier side of like 10-11 PM as it became much more crowded as we sat there. The drinks for the area are so cheap. Can easily get a nice cocktail for $10-unheard of in the area. Shots are also insanely cheap for the area. We got bare seating initially then moved over to a table once it opened. They have skee-ball? And karaoke? And pool? But the real draw is the pizza. It is fascinating to me that every shot or drink one orders you're given a ticket for a free personal pie. It's not good pizza and is mostly crust, but it's still a free personal pizza pie each time you order a drink. You pay extra for any toppings you want and you're allowed one per person at a time-they can get a bit backed up so you may have to wait if it's busy. Would absolutely come back to this bar for this perk alone. But the drink we ordered (gator-ade) was actually really tasty, especially for the price. Overall, was taken aback but how much we enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend for later in the night to drop in. read more

$4 for a beer and pizza?? So worth!! They also have their own pizza oven which makes the pizza extremely fresh. Great spot to end or start the night read more

Alligator Lounge - Beer and margarita pizza - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came here to tell my friend that I had been lying to her about having an advanced degree. The Alligator Lounge set the tone perfectly for this conversation. Also, good trivia nights. Orange juice unfortunately did have pulp, so please note that if you plan to order it. read more

When my partner and I watched The Rehearsal last summer, we decided immediately that we had to check this place out to see what it was all about! It took us quite a few months but we finally made it last weekend. Maybe it was the fact that we had come at 11pm on a Saturday (instead of the Tuesdays "depicted" in the show), but it was super packed and not quite our scene. Drinks were pretty cheap which was great ($8-$12 cocktails) and as the reviews state, free pizza with every drink! We ended up paying $1 each for toppings (make sure you get the right ticket, as this originally led to confusion with the pizza makers). Jalapeño was okay, the bacon is where it's at (at least, for super cheap pizza). The drinks were very strong, so would definitely say this place is a good deal! read more

Alligator Lounge offers a unique blend of a dive bar in the front and professional karaoke in the back, attracting Brooklyn's finest hipsters. Enjoyed a Corona while reveling in the fine tunes of karaoke. A great spot for a fun night with a group of new friends. I did not try the food but they were giving away free pizza when I was there. Maybe next time I'll grab a slice. read more

I have no idea how I haven't ever written a review for this place. It's legendary. Especially with Crocodile Lounge (Manhattan same format bar) now being gone after the pandemic and shutdowns galore. My boyfriend wanted to go here after a Yelp event and I have no idea how he convinced me into a 30 minute hike over on a school night but it happened. The beers are still ridiculously cheap. $6 on not happy hour hours?! What?! When can I move in? The draft selection isn't crap either. You obviously also get a free cheese pizza with every pint order. Which we indulged in sharing one. It was better than it used to be because I think I had a ranking system of all the free pizza bars. I remember I used to come here for big buck in the back. No idea if it's still there. But also remember many nights/days either hitting this up or the Northern Bell next door. Still a great spot after all these years. read more

So much fun and a great dive bar! I really wish there was a place like this by me in Philadelphia. The service was great and the inside was so cool. Karaoke, pool table, photo booth, tv everywhere playing sports and free pizza! Pizza was honestly not that good but it was free with a drink purchase! Pretty incredible and unique. Prices were great here! A ton of deals for a shot and beer combo. Such a fun place to check out and I'll definitely be back! read more

I had a great time at the alligator lounge! It was giving hipster dive bar but I likes. That night was MTV Bingo night it was so much fun The DJ was great ! I won and color book lol !!

Also a plus I'm lactose intolerant and the pizza did not bother my stomach I would give 5 but one of the bartenders attitude kinda sucked. Over all a good time read more

Alligator Lounge - Pizza and my drink - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here for 8 pm trivia on a Monday with a group of 9. When we arrived at 7:30 pm, the only tables available were outside. This ended up a bad idea; people would smoke in the outdoor seating area, making for an unpleasant experience. Drinks were affordable enough for Williamsburg at $9 or so for each cocktail. I got The Nathan Fielder, and it only mildly tasted of alcohol, which is my personal preference honestly. You also get a free pizza slice ticket with a drink! Trivia-wise, Alligator Lounge has to be at the bottom of all my trivia experiences. The first two rounds were fine but they became too challenging after that. We could seldom hear the host; the mic was very loud but the audio quality was poor / background commotion interfered. They played songs that acted as clues, but you could barely hear them--though most people in our group couldn't discern what they were anyway when we tried. I can understand why it's been made so difficult; you can tell from the lightning rounds that patrons here are frequent trivia goers. The trivia host arrived 15 minutes late and was way too self promoting, with his Venmo on the answer sheet and constantly bringing up his Venmo handle and a bonus trivia question related to his Instagram stories. Additionally, there was way too much time in between rounds. At the end, we gravitated to the pool tables and had a bit of fun there. read more

Disclaimer: I am an unabashed fan of Nathan Fielder. As such, I was definitely predisposed to love Alligator Lounge after seeing it on The Rehearsal. BUT, I am also a fan of cheap drinks, free(!) pizza, and bar trivia. So I'd say a 5-star rating is objectively deserved. My group came for trivia on a Monday at 8pm (not 9pm like their website says) and arrived about 25 minutes early to secure a table. All the tables in the front room are fairly small, but there are some longer ones in the back, where you can still hear and participate in trivia. I ordered a Nathan Fielder ($9) and a Blue Moon draft ($6) and collected my two free personal pizzas. They were light and flavorful. Honestly amazing that such high quality pizza comes with every drink. My only complaint on the night is that trivia runs slowly. Be prepared to be there for ~3 hours. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Went here on a Wednesday evening and vibes were immaculate. After you order your drink (and they have a myriad of tap beers for a decent price), you get a "ticket" which you cash in for free personal pizza! And the pizza was actually very good, the sauce was flavorful and the crust charred. Bartenders were very friendly and kareoke bar in the back was a nice surprise. read more

The Alligator lounge is always great for a good time! Came here on a Thursday night and it was packed and it was great to see that they have a drink after Nathan Fielder! However, they had one bartender on a packed night and it took forever to get a drink. Not sure if it's the increased popularity because of The Rehearsal, but I felt bad for the poor bartender. The free pizza is always a plus! read more

Still one of my favorite spots to go for a cheap beer, Alligator hasn't changed much in the years I've been coming. It was always the nicer of the two (RIP crocodile), with ample seating at the bar, booths up in front you don't really stick to, and a large back room. Oh, and yes, you still get a pizza ticket with every drink you buy, which is one hell of a deal*. I hesitate to call Alligator a dive because it's really not. Yes you can get a beer and a shot for 6$ if that's your thing, and yes they have cheap mix drinks, but it still doesn't quite check all the boxes off to be a dive (maybe a new age hipster dive?). Either way, the staff is always super chill, there's a pool table, and they do karaoke a few nights a week. TL;DR, pop off the L, grab a seat at the bar, and enjoy cheap liquor accompanied by surprisingly decent pizza with every drink you order. If that doesn't sound good to you, I'm really not sure we can be friends. _________________ *Splurge 1$ for bacon, and for gods sake, tip the guy who makes your pie. read more
