Free personal pizzas.
Cindy Z.

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!

Pizza and s*x in brooklyn drink

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.

Pizza comes with the purchase of a drink

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!

thank you alligator lounge

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!

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..

Beer

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.

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.

The music is at a low enough volume that you can hear your conversations, it doesn't get too crowded so you can spread out, even if you're in a large group. Downstairs, it's a lot tighter, with a DJ, dance floor, lounge seating area, and a much more packed and busy atmosphere on the weekends. I like ping ponging between both vibes when I'm with friends. Admittedly I've found the music both times to be too experimental for me. Confessing that makes me feel like an old person shaking my fist or at least shaking my head, misunderstanding what makes the youth tick. But I had no trouble twirling around the dance floor to this weird experimental music after throwing back a few tequila sodas upstairs. A few times while here my friends have split up into the group that wants to go downstairs to dance and the group that wants to stay upstairs and chill. It's relatively easy to navigate between both vibes, which I enjoy about this spot very much.

Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

Both were perfect for a chilly night and nicely spiced. The hot toddy especially hit the spot. For food, we tried a few things. The Sweet Potato Beignets with hot honey & parmesan were definitely interesting--sweet, savory, and a bit unexpected. Not my favorite item of the night, but still worth trying if you like unique flavor combos. The BK Sliders (3 pc) were solid: thick applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, Russian dressing, and pickle on mini brioche buns. Simple, satisfying, and nicely done. The real standout though was the Calamari with shichimi pepper, jalapeño, lime zest, and herbal dipping sauce--absolutely amazing. Crispy, flavorful, and the seasoning had just the right kick. Easily the best dish we ordered. Service was friendly and the atmosphere made it easy to linger. Overall a great experience, and I'd definitely come back--especially for that calamari and another hot toddy.

I discovered Kokomo because I knew I wanted our wedding celebration to be in Williamsburg -- a neighborhood that holds so many memories for me growing up in the Bronx and exploring the city as a kid. We flew in from Los Angeles and truly made it a full wedding week experience. I planned the wedding myself, so I had been communicating with Joel for months leading up to the event. We reserved the Champagne Room, which felt like its own beautiful oasis. As a Jamaican-American woman, it meant so much to know my disabled mother would feel culturally comfortable, welcomed, and safe in the space and with the food. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, attentive, and calming. Our server especially helped ease my nerves while we were finalizing seating and guest details, and after that, I genuinely did not have to worry about a thing. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Truly perfection. As a vegan, it meant so much to fully enjoy every part of my wedding meal without compromise. The rum punch was fantastic, our guests loved the open bar package, and the entire evening flowed so seamlessly. The aesthetic is pure island luxury -- elevated, warm, vibrant, and beautiful. The communication from the owners and management team was excellent throughout the entire process, and I even had the chance to finally meet Joel at the end of the night after months of planning together, which was such a lovely touch. I was also able to personally thank the chefs. We even accidentally left my bouquet behind, and the team kindly helped us retrieve it the next day. Kokomo NYC is officially a staple in our family now. I already know we will celebrate future milestones there and visit often whenever we are back in New York. It makes me proud to support a Black Caribbean-owned business that creates such meaningful experiences with so much care and excellence. I truly cannot imagine our wedding without Kokomo, and I'm so grateful they were part of our story. : @lensofher

Food took entirely too long to come out. 40 minutes for an appetizer is crazy... Once they arrived, they were all tasty. I wish I took photos of the food. We ordered the curry crab gyoza which was so flavorful and the ackee and saltfish shumai. The oxtail flatbread is very large and lots of meat. They don't skimp out. Biang biang Rasta noodles is served with oyster mushrooms (so good) and peppers. I added shrimp to mine. Very tasty and filling. But keep in mind that the noodles are not penne and they are I think fettuccine They must do better on their serving time. The restaurant was crowded. But it would be nice to have the expectation set that there will be a long wait.
