My friends and I wandered into this bar on a Saturday afternoon for a drink and were happy to find that despite there being a birthday party at that time, there was plenty of seating outside! (Inside there's a bar and some booths along the wall). The menu is standard Williamsburg cocktail bar pricing and naturally, we were all drawn to the tequila drinks. I had a Lime All The Time, which was yummy and my partner had a Beach House which was alright. We also all had a round of skinny spicy margaritas which were stronggggg. The bartender was quiet but polite. I liked how they were several jugs of ice water and cups available for patrons. There are bathrooms downstairs and based on the layout of the bar, I suspect it can get rowdy and fun after 8pm rolls around. I'd love to come back then! read more

Midnights - Lime all the time - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pros: A great bar in Williamsburg that friends and I have been coming to on weekends for years. Great cocktails and beers for very affordable prices. Ambience inside, particularly in the upstairs bar, is very nice with dimly lit booths and and a nice bar to sit at. The vibe of the bar is upscale, but not at all pretentious and easy to meet new people. Very friendly bartenders as well. Cons: The bar has become a bit of a victim of it's own success in the past year, as it has been 'discovered' by Gen Z and TikTok. The resulting long entry lines and crowds inside have spoiled the feel of this once hidden gem. And be prepared to hold your pee during peak times Overall, it's still one of the best bars in the city, but I will probably hold off to see if the newfound fame eases off a bit in the near future. read more

Intimate bar with good size bar counter, cozy interior booths and patio seating. Drink selection and quality was quite good. Midnights, you order and pay at bar with self-service and seating so pretty common in the Williamsburg area. The bartender is knowledgeable and quite efficient even holding conversation with patrons at bar counter. read more

The pros: no cover, dancing downstairs The cons: long lines to get in, be prepared to be surrounded by 20 year olds in a packed basement with no crowd control l'll take my millennial self back when I decompress... read more

I'm such a big fan of this spot. I wish they had more than one bathroom but they do supply self-serve water, have an incredible playlist and serve delicious cocktails. My favorite was a tropical frozen one! read more

Such a cute spot they have an inside, outside and downstairs for dancing. Such a fun time, but the only thing is gets so crowded and hot.

Was in Williamsburg and stopped in here bc it looked cute from the outside. Stepped it and loved the vibe. It was dark with candles on all the tables. The seating was cute so we stayed for a drink. I ordered the La Limona and was not crazy about it. Friend ordered the Covergirl and hers was delish. Overall, a cute place to have a drink or go on an intimate date. read more

I came here a few weeks ago on a date on a random Monday evening, and it was pretty quiet which was nice. It's a dimly lit bar with comfortable plush seating, and a nicely appointed bar. Apparently, the downstairs area has a DJ on the weekends, and is known for being fun, so perhaps I'll check it out sometime. The cocktail menu was good and had variety to it and our drinks came out pretty quickly. The bartender was friendly and took our drink orders quickly, which was nice. I would definitely come back here again! read more

Cute spot for cocktails to go with my boyfriend. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are strong.

I want to give this place 5 stars but the DJ last night claimed she didn't know "Follow Me," a house song and "Loyal" by Chris Brown. Now girl... But the basement dance floor, overall vibes and solid music upstairs make this an automatic place to return for me. read more

While barhopping in Williamsburg, we made our final stop here. The vibes are good with seating indoors and outdoors. The cocktails are very affordable here being under $15. I ordered the Drunk Love ($14) and a friend ordered the Lime All The Time ($14). I enjoyed her drink more, especially the chili salt. Good spot for some late night drinks. They also have happy hour from 4-6:30pm on weekdays with $2 off everything. read more

If you're in NYC and NOT hitting up Midnights in Williamsburg, you're seriously missing out. Came here to party for the 4th of July from the Bay Area and stumbled into this spot--and WOW. Instantly became a fan. The vibe is electric without trying too hard, and the energy feels like the best kind of NYC night. Audra our bartender is beautiful and great at her craft - respectfully. Straight-up LEGEND. Charismatic, welcoming, and mixing up some of the best drinks I've had in the city. Ask for her--trust me, you'll be in good hands. I got whiskey sours, paper planes and gimlets... all Huge shoutout to Matthew, the GM. The music, the lighting, the crowd--this guy knows how to curate an experience. You can tell there's care and intention behind everything. It's not just a bar--it's a whole vibe. If you're in Brooklyn--or anywhere in NYC--Midnights is the move. Ps. Baddies be in this bih read more

Midnights is super cute! I've been walking by it constantly for a year and finally stopped in with some friends on a Saturday night. It was very loud on the inside and quite crowded but the outside area was a perfect vibe for us. They make a great martini and there is plenty of outdoor seating. I'll be coming back soon to try their snacks. It's definitely worth a trip! read more

"After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout" (J. J. Cale) Here's what you need to know if you're ever invited to a private party at Midnights: 1) Wend your way through the densely populated bar and head to the back left corner of the bar. 2) Look for the sign for the restroom and follow it to an impossibly steep staircase to the basement. 3) Here you'll see a private room that accommodated our party of 50 or so family and friends. 4) Look for the jolly bearded bartender named Alfredo who was fantastic. 5) Enjoy Midnight's drinks, music, and atmosphere as much as we did! read more

Intimate and cute spot that also has a rear garden patio. We were just in time for the $2 off all cocktails, happy hour special, which is M-F 4p-6:30p. There were only a couple of snack items and one was a pretzel which they didn't have. Overall service was good. I only found out after my visit that the Pasadena Room is their downstairs dance space. My/our delicious tongue clicking sips for the evening: DRUNK LOVE myers jamaican rum, denizen 5-year rum, overproof rum, oj pineapple, grenadine, lime, angostura bitters EL TOPO cathedral mezcal, caribbean pineapple, alma tepec, agave, lime ENERGIZER JENNIE vodka, coffee liquor, eleva espresso OLD FASHIONED Mmmm...

Came here after a show at Brooklyn Bowl. The menu looked interesting and we wanted some snacks with our drinks so we gave it a go. It was 12:30 AM on a Thursday and the place was jam packed!! We got the last 2 seats at the bar. They were playing a Spotify list very loudly so we would barely communicate what we wanted. Its also dark as hell so we had to use our phones to see the menus. We got the sweet and spicy crunchy chickpeas. We also ordered the kettle chips with lemon-dill yogurt dip. The bartender must have misheard and just brought us 1 bag of chips. We asked for what we ordered and he brought it back out. That lemon-dill dip was freaking yummy!! So were the chickpeas. The standout was the drink I had. The Covergirl. One of the tastiest drinks I've ever had. Vodka, green tea, Juliette peach liquor and lemonade. $14 in a nice tall glass. Refreshing and different. It seems like they have an outdoor area as well, but I don't think it was open. If you can get here when it's not so crowded, I'm sure it'd be a much better vibe. Bathroom was also dark, but was clean and stocked. Some drunk sailor came over to us saying someone was cheap and easy and that he was going to buy our drinks. Damn sailor didn't pull through because we wound up picking up our own tab! Cool place with a good cocktail menu. I'll be back. read more

Was I surprised at how packed the bar was on a Wednesday night? Did I manage to find a seat at the bar anyway? Did I imbibe in many a gin cocktail without shuddering at sticker shock even though Midnights is right off the Bedford Avenue stop in Williamsburg? (Helloooooo cocktails under $15!) Midnights is a cozy, intimate, and candlelit bar that should probably be one of your first stops of the night instead of your last. I don't even want to think about what this place looks like on a weekend night, though caveat: I stopped by on a night when the outdoor area was closed so that everyone had to stay inside. I did feel like the bartenders were a little inattentive, even though we were sitting right at the bar, but I guess you can't win them all? Definitely a very vibey place through and through. read more

Nice vibes in this place! Very chill, unassuming bar on top with comfortable seating and good drinks. The basement was open for dancing Saturday night. It's a nice mix of music. The crowd is generally 30-something's. The service was good, drinks were served promptly. They had a fun selection of cocktails and drinks. Glasses - full or empty were cleared quickly if left unattended - a good reminder to always pay attention to your drink! read more

Thanks to the NYC Tippler, I've been able to discover new places and create a list of "Go-To's". Midnights has made that list. The first cocktail I tried was the Lime All The Time and it's definitely a fav. Made with Hornitos Tequila, Mezcal, Lime, Pomegranate flavor, and a new fav (Chili Salt); this drink is delicious. The Chili Salt really adds a bold flavor to the drink and I couldn't imagine having this cocktail without it. The other cocktail I tried was the Drunk Love (crafted with Myers Jamaican Rum, Denizen 5 Year Rum, Overproof Rum, Grenadine, Lime, OJ Pineapple, and Angostura Bitters); not a bad drink. Out of the two, the drink that won me over was the Lime All The Time. As for food, I've only tried the Truffle Steak Fries. They were pretty good. I ordered them to go along with the Happy Hour glass of Pinot Grigio. They were good (not the best, but good). The ambiance is a bit intimate and chill. In the evening, you can expect dim lights and candles. They have plenty of seats by the bar and also booths available that are perfect for groups or a little privacy for date night. In terms of service, nothing really stood out for me. It was a typical experience. If you're in the area I would suggest stopping by. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday starting at 2 PM until 6:30 PM. read more

Great outdoor patio, small but nice ambiance. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends! Drinks are good but can take a while to order at peak times, it seems they are pretty short staffed. Went for their twist of the espresso martini, had absolutely no regrets! It's not cheap by any means but not terrible by Williamsburg standards. read more

Nice cozy bar with affordable and tasty cocktails! They average $15. Pro tip, there is a downstairs bar as well so if you can't find seating or its too crowded, you're welcome. I've been here twice now with friends and it has never disappointed. read more

Came here to meet with a friend for a few drinks to catch up. Pretty chill spot right off the Bedford Ave stop. They have an outdoor area in the back which is really nice during the nice weather. Still had to go the the bar to order drinks inside and then bring them out myself, but overall it's a good spot. Staff members are friendly. read more

Someone called this a dive bar and I was huh? Dive where? Good drinks vibes and service. Sat at the bar for a while laughing and drinking.

we had 10 high paying customers who were forced to leave due to the arbitrary and capricious actions of the bouncer. he definitely breathes through his mouth and used that as an excuse to create a huge line outside while the inside was EMPTY! it was not bussin at all. In retrospect, it was because we had many gays in our party. The bouncer was really not cool with that. So he did not let us in. during pride month read more

Really liked the ambiance in this bar. It is busy but it's intimate upbeat cocktail bar. The drinks could have been better but id come back for the ambiance and music. read more

What a vibe!!! A huge shoutout to the playlist. The music is what got my attention and pulled me in. A very small spot but small in a good way. The vibe was almost trendy without the restraints and the cute patio in the back was the cherry on top. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 was because the bartender made my drink wrong. The drink was good but I noticed her doing a million other things besides making my drink right . Like...Taking a shot and making her friend a drink. read more

Midnights had been on my list to scope out for years, and I finally made it there for a nightcap the other day. We walked through the seductive bar, which was perfect for a date, and were able to grab a table in their intimate backyard. Table service did not seem to be available back there, so we went inside to grab our drinks from the bar. The "Spritz" Me Please immediately grabbed my attention, as I am a huge fan of spritzes. Their version traded the Aperol for St. Agrestis Amaro, which was a bit more bitter, but not quite as herbaceous as Campari or Contratto. The St. Agrestis with the prosecco, club soda, and orange peel actually made a delightful cocktail that I was perfectly suited for sipping out in the garden. From the drinks to the ambiance of the backyard, Midnights really new how to create a mood! read more

Funny bartender who made us top notch cocktails. Say at the bar, great ambiance. It was busy on an early Saturday evening. Cute place close to the Bedford L stop. read more

After walking around we figured come back here & give it another try. First we sat outside but it was too hot & asked about coming inside , we asked because we had My friends fur baby w us , she's small not sure if that made a difference? But the guy was like sure no problem! We sat inside & ordered some drinks , had the Table dance , u know what it was great very nice taste , only complain would be that it comes in a bigger cup. This place is cute, nice vibe & decent drinks we certainly had a few & enjoyed our time here. read more

Fun bar with lively music. Two floors with one that's more dancy and a second one with booths and lounge. It's extremely loud so hard to have conversation but a fun vibe. read more

I stopped in here on a rainy week night looking for a warm cocktail and was not disappointed. The Hot Toddy, the only hot drink available, was one of the best I've had in a while, and you have the choice of Bourbon or Rum. I chose rum. The food menu was limited to empanadas (mushroom, beef, and chicken), but unfortunately, they were out. The bartender was kind enough to let us know we could bring in outside food, which we did. The drink menu was extensive with cocktails, beer, wines, etc. I tried the Drunk Love as well, and what there was of it was excellent! Unfortunately, as you can see from my pictures, the glass was filled with more ice than cocktail (even though it was rainy and cold outside. I would probably go back because the drinks WERE really well made, and the staff was extremely friendly, but I'll definitely request less ice. read more

The espresso martinis are great! It's such a cute vibe, would recommend going earlier in the evening on Saturdays so you can have a cozy seat. The service was good too, the bartenders are very attentive. Very cute for a date night. read more

Found this spot while strolling looking for a cool vibe for some drinks. Covid protocols were seriously taken, service was friendly and the back yard was nice. The menu was scannable and every time you wanted to order you had to rescan and repay (this became a little annoying). The vibe of the bar is nice, music blasting to old school hip hop and R&B, everyone chatting and having a good time. drinks were priced reasonably to high and the selections were plenty. The backyard was the move, well spaced out, well lit and good volume for music. read more

I love coming here, the drinks and the vibe are curated perfectly. It's always candlelit here and the music is perfect (r&b, afrobeats, top 40) and intimate but you can definitely come here with friends and have a great time, or by yourself and sir at the bar and get to know the bartenders, they are all amazing! Tonight I had Alfredo and he was such a beast, we all loved him! Thank you so much Alfredo! (If he ever reads this) I got the Drunk Love drink, it's amazing. Always love coming here! read more

We stopped by Midnights to have a few drinks before a reservation at a nearby restaurant. Overall, I think the three of us had a pretty nice experience at Midnights. The bar has a nice mix of speciality cocktails and a few draft beers. For our visit, I went with the Private Dancer (vodka, guava, watermelon Red Bull) and the Eastside Spritz (amaro, Prosecco, and club soda). I went with the Private Dancer as a throwback to the mid-00s. . . You know, when folks were putting Red Bull into almost every single cocktail. Since the Private Dancer is a frozen drink, it was very refreshing to throw back a few of these on a very hot day. I'll admit that I did not really care for the spritz because it really did not taste like anything. Perhaps, the club soda diluted the Prosecco too much. I'd recommend just going with a glass of Prosecco instead. The two bartenders were pretty nice and friendly, the bar had a nice low key vibe to it, and the drinks were reasonably priced.. I'd definitely visit Midnights again if I am in the W'burg area. Also . . . the bar is really close to the Bedford Stop (L Train), which make the bar even better. read more

I stopped by at an Elite Event around the corner that had no seating and needed a place to decompress. So I allowed Google Maps to guide me to this romantic oasis on the rainy early December night that I stopped in (12/6/22) It may have been cold outside, but it was warm and inviting inside. The interior is dark and, in my opinion, perfect for a date night. Great music, attentive but not overbearing waitstaff and a great selection of drinks and small plates. Like I said, it was cold outside and the Hot Toddy was one of the best I've had this season. I will definitely be back with my date or just for a night out with friends. read more

If you're looking for the classic "I've lived in Williamsburg for 6 months and I'm better than you" vibe - than this place is perfect for you. 2 stars instead of 1 because the drinks were decent. Unfortunately, the bartender's drinks were much better than his personality. It's like he found a buzzfeed article on how to be a pretentious hipster and absorbed every word. Any interaction we had with him resulted in a condescending response, under-the-breath insults, and a general sh*tty attitude. So overall, if you ever are in the mood to be patronized - hit up my boy at Midnights! And to whoever owns this bar - tasty cocktails can only take you so far in an echochamber of snobs and dissatisfied patrons. Best of luck. read more

Wasn't drinking so it was nice to see a place with a non-alcoholic beverage - the phone negroni is pretty cool considering there's no alcohol (a tad sweet) and definitely seemed to not be made in house and came from a bottle. The other medical drinks that were ordered with my party were good tho! Everything seemed to look eerily similar tho but good The patio in the back is nice and there's a small table outside in the front, and much quieter than the inside seating. So there's something for everyone! read more

Went Thursday 5pm and there was no happy hour, but drinks are v reasonably priced. Got the spring buzzies and elderflower flavor is prominent.
