    Not very clean but cheap. Cute drag shows. Queens with some personality and body positivr. Shame that this place charges cover of selective nights when it is the size of a NYC studio.

    I'm a very big fan of any reasonably priced bar that has an outdoor patio, Macri Park fits this criteria. It's a cozy bar that's literally right off the Metropolitan G stop. The back patio is a decent size with a bunch of picnic tables and a leather couch, inside there are three semi circular booths in addition to the bar. They even have a covered front entrance outside with a couple couches (mostly for smokers from what I can tell). Happy goes until 8pm where all drafts are $4 (mostly $6 after). In addition to the drink specials they also have weekly events here like Bingo on Tuesdays and something called "Drink and Draw" on Sundays where you bring your own art supplies and they provide a model. I'll make sure to come back for both those events and check back in. UPDATE: I've been back for Bingo on Tuesday. It was free, fun, and I won a beer. There aren't a ton of people who show up for it and you can come in at any time. They only give you a single Bingo board so it's easy to continue having a conversation while playing.

    Playing 3LW on a Sunday afternoon. Throwback

    Cheap bar, with a fun crowd and a cool DJ that plays oldies from the 90's and the drinks were strong and excellent

    This place clearly had a few "regulars" which is always a good sign. Friendly bartenders. Casual good vibe. Not a standout.

    This space is really appealing somehow. It has a good glow and is cave like. The backyard is nice. No fake gimmicky decor. Prices are fair.

If you've been to Rise in Manhattan, this is basically the Brooklyn version--but with a few key differences: they start charging a $10 cover after 10pm on weekends, the music leans more disco, and the bathroom situation is...rough. There are only two toilets, so the line gets long fast and people start getting a little tense. That said, ANIMAL still hits. It brings a classy, slightly retro vibe to Williamsburg that you don't really get anywhere else, and there's a reason the line is always wrapped around the block.

A friend of ours was trying to throw out an empty can while we were heading in (instead of leaving it on the street) and they berated her for even holding it at the door. When she went to throw it away (at the only trash can that's just past the bouncers) they screamed at her and told her she wasn't allowed in anymore. They then continued to talk down on her even when we were "lucky they were being nice" as she tried to contact the rest of the group that was already in for help. Whether it was intentional or not, it felt like they were stereotyping her. Basically, if you're a white guy, you'll have a great time!

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.
