Even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, I still make my way out to Good Judy whenever…read moreI can. As an introvert who does try to socialize when I go out, the vibe here just hits different. It doesn't have that intimidating, high-energy chaos you get at the big nightclubs. The staff and patrons are always upbeat and welcoming, which makes it easy to actually relax and enjoy yourself. Maybe it's just me, but I never feel self-conscious here the way I do at a lot of other LGBT spots in the city where I have to squeeze myself through a maze of people. Looking from the outside, you'll be surprised that their venue has a bit of everything for everyone, so it's not just a neighborhood "dive bar." They have a small dance floor, a cute outdoor patio, and fun events going on all week. I probably avoided a busy night since I came on a Thursday evening, but even then, they really make the space work. Plus, the prices definitely beat Manhattan. To all my fellow introverts who also may be a little shy, please come here!

Pretty elusive and mysterious vintage bar located across from Carroll Park. It's dim-lit with…read morecandles and simple decor, which makes for a perfect date night spot. The service was also great as the bartender was quick and got us our next drinks as soon as he saw we finished our first one. During our visit, we tried the Matt's Ginger Old Fashioned, Brooklyn, Vulcano, and Palermo Fix. All cocktails were $14 each, which were all nicely made. The Brooklyn was very strong and the Old Fashioned is a nice classic with a hint of ginger flavor. The other two were lighter with twists of sour. They also offer some paninis, plus a toasted lard bread ($5) that we ordered. The lard bread is from Mazzola, which is absolutely delicious, but kind of sad that they only offer 4 pieces. Cool bar in the neighborhood with tasty drinks. It's such a simple, yet sophisticated bar. There's also a pool table in the back to enjoy.

Our server was willing to take care of us whether we wanted to sit near the bar, downstairs (which was empty), or in the back area that was still being cleaned up post show. We chose the latter since it was pretty quiet in that room, no stairs involved. A I ordered a peach cider which was served in the bottle -tasty. They had a nice track list playing as we chatted for a bit then headed out. It was pretty late in the night so this was meant to be a quick in and out sort of visit, but I would like to come back to see one of their shows.

Union Hall is one of those classic Brooklyn spots that just feels good the second you walk in. The…read morelocation is great, the drinks are solid, and it has that older New York, cozy-but-lively vibe that's getting harder to find these days. They've only got two bocce lanes, so just a heads up, if it's a busier night or you're going during peak hours, you might be waiting a bit. But on normal weeknights, it's totally doable to walk in, grab a drink, and play without any stress. It's very laid-back in the best way. Downstairs, they host comedy shows and other performances, which makes it such a fun multipurpose hangout. People usually grab a drink and chill upstairs while waiting for their show to start, and it creates this really nice, social energy without feeling chaotic. Overall, Union Hall is a quaint neighborhood staple, great drinks, fun games, and a little bit of that old-school local charm. Perfect for a casual night out or something a little different from the usual bar scene.

Full bar with three frozen drink machines. No whiskeys caught my attention. Almost all the beers on draft were macros with the exception of Other Half Green City with is OH's largest scale offering. Just three wines by the glass - a Malbec, a Prosecco, and I believe a Cabernet. Service at the bar was super quick. I had a hot cider cocktail. Long counter stretching for most of the bar.

Our server was wonderful. Food was great. And the restaurant was so nice on the cold day but I did notice they had a patio so I will be sure to return on a nice summer day.

We walked in late on a Friday evening and sat in the back patio, which was nice on a spring night. I ordered the signature 282 Green Hatch Chile Cheeseburger ($15) and the husband got the Double Cheeseburger ($19). The double cheeseburger was stacked and he struggled to fully bite into it because those patties are thick. This is a good one if you're hungry and looking for protein in your diet. I found the hatch chile cheeseburger to be a right balance and enjoyed the kick of spice from the chile. We also got the Chili Cheese Fries ($9) on the side, which was a decent portion. The one thing I didn't like was that the chili still had whole beans and there wasn't much of a sauce, so wouldn't get this with the chili again. Otherwise, solid burger spot along Atlantic Ave. they also have a good lunch special for a burger and side during the weekdays.

Outside of this establishment can be a bit rowdy with several double parked cars and loud obnoxious behavior.
