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

It was a cold Friday when I arrived at Mid Nights around 8pm. From the outside?, you would think it is a dive bar. The was a heavy drape past the entry door and it opened up to a modern updated restaurant on the inside. It was at capacity and the DJ was playing some good mood music. The 1st guy who approached us asked if we had a reservation, in which we did. He then isappeared for about 10 mins. It was fine for us because the 2nd guy who was our waiter ( I forgot his name, I think it was Nick) who was a really nice guy created seating for us and Sat us down. It was a little chilly inside but not unbearable. It was the effect of the opening of the front door that keeps the place cooler in the front. We ordered 2 of the cocktails on the menu. One was the waisted white girl drink and the other which was pure alcohol, The Justin Bieber drink. Both were quite good! We started off with the vegetarian calamari which was actually heart of palm. It looked like Calamari!!! We ordered the Hanger Steak skewers with fingering potatoes with a slightly sweet chmichurri sauce that was so delicious. I also ordered the Tuna tartare tostada which had that special feel of crunchy and soft at the same time. I enjoyed it. Between the music and our server, it was a nice surprise. As I said, outside doesn't look like much, but inside is fantastic in all ways. This is a great neighborhood spot and gem while offering some creative vegetarian options as well. read more

I had a perfect birthday brunch thanks to Midnights, despite all odds. We arrived half an hour late and we were extremely indecisive about food and drinks. One of us even changed his order after our waitress left for the kitchen. We also bothered our waitress to take photos of our reunion, which she happily obliged. Needless to say, the service here is outstanding. Pulled pork benedict - These are super indulgent and a modern take on classic eggs benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached and covered with a chipotle hollandaise. The slow roasted pork shoulder fell apart under my fork, and it was so juicy and tender. Truffle steak fries - I'm a huge fan of truffle anything, and these fries were bomb. They were fresh out of the fryer, so hot to the touch, and they came with grated parmesan. We ordered two sides of this and they were the first things gone from the table. Avocado toast - This dish was a bit disappointing since my friends' poached egg was more well-done compared with our egg benedicts. The bread was also ridiculously hard to saw through so my friend just started picking it up and eating it with his hands. They have a picturesque backyard outdoor seating, which was fantastic for a sunny Saturday brunch. read more

Great bar and service! drinks are delicious and affordable and the vibes are lovely. Great place to meet up with friends and grab a drink before or after dinner. May be a little too boisterous for a first date or something intimate though. read more

BEWARE!!! THEY CHARGE A 3.99% CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEE. This charge is on top of sales tax. For example, our food and drink total was $383, the sales tax was $33.02 and the CC Processing fee was incurred on the $417 total. They now disclose this charge on the bill ONLY because of a new law in 2019 stating they they have to. Also the note at the bottom of the check is misleading, merchants are not forced to charge this fee, they elect to do so. Came here Saturday for a friends birthday and was underwhelmed. I had to cauliflower tacos, a Dolly's Crush and a Salma Hayek. Everything was fine, nothing special. read more

This is your quintessential local pub - ok "gastropub" if you will. You're more likely than not to find one of the convivial owners behind the bar, and it's easy to while away a few hours (or just that one drink after work) hanging out there. It reminds me of the Williamsburg that I used to live in, with friendly local establishments, now long gone. Or, I should say, *mostly* long gone - this one nicely recovers the mood... Note: The "gastro"pub part isn't accidental, the food is really quite excellent too! read more

When I consider my thoughts on new food spots, the first thing I ask myself is "Would I go out of my way to come here again?" With Midnights, the answer is a resounding "YES" If you're lucky enough to visit Midnights during Happy Hour, you'll have really hit the jackpot. Happy Hour is Tuesday - Friday 4:30 to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday 4:30 - 6:30pm (Food only). When we sauntered into Midnights for an early dinner around 5 on a Sunday, we were pleasantly surprised to see plentiful seating AND a happy hour menu! The ambiance is sleek but comfortable, cozy yet refined. You have mirrored walls and dim lighting on one wall and large TV broadcasting news and sports behind the bar. It's classy mixed with a casual, local vibe. Among our group we ordered truffled steak fries, butternut squash risotto with pan seared scallops, Thai red curry mussels, and ricotta gnocchi - all I can say is "yum." Everything came to the table fresh, hot, and in a very timely manner. The scallops in the risotto may have been the best I've ever had; the gnocchi was light, perfectly flavored, perfectly cooked cloud from heaven; and I would have sipped a glass of the Thai red curry sauce if it was socially acceptable. Everything we tasted was superb, fresh, and beautifully plated. Our water glasses never half-empty - literally and philosophically. Whether you're looking for an after work draft with the bros or a sexy date night meal, Midnights can flawlessly provide both. It's sexy, classy, and most importantly - tasty! I'd say it's definitely a Happy Hour steal. read more

What would life be like if every hour was happy hour? Would the populace be a little happier, richer, a little bit more under the influence? Come to Midnights and you'll get a sampling. Outside of Happy Hour, all cocktails are under $12 and draft beers, $8. Aside from their regularly scheduled programming of already cheap prices, they do also have a Happy Hour (M-F 2-6:30 PM)-- $2 off cocktails and $1.50 oysters! With prices like these, you might anticipate the tenacious stick of a dive bar, but Midnights is actually an intimate candle-lit, yet unpretentious cocktail oasis. I came on a Friday night and naturally, so did other Williamsburg residents. My group of 4 had to hover around to secure seating; however, if you are open to braving the cold, they have a nice backyard set-up. Our party ordered 2 LIME ALL THE TIMEs ($11)-- a smokier twist on a margarita, with Mezcal, Tequila and pomegranate, decorated with a chili salt rim. 2 DRUNK LOVEs ($12) were also ordered-- a little paradise of rum, orange juice, pineapple and lime. Both concoctions were strong, but refreshing and tasty. I definitely need to come back and sip on some of their other affordable cocktails, to the accompaniment of their R&B, soul, & funk set list! read more

Went here on a date and we were craving oysters. Turns out , they aren't serving food anymore. Bartender said the kitchen is being turned into another area for cocktails. I'd wish they'd update that on the description here on Yelp. Drinks were good though. They had a DJ as it was a Saturday night and the music was too loud for a conversation. Decor is dark and intimate read more

The chef here is a genius! Vegetarian calamari made from hearts of palm will melt your heart at first bite. Try the vegetarian gnocchi with mushrooms- such an earthy pasta that was cooked to perfection. Brownies and the date cake were also a solid dessert choice. Every cocktail on the menu was divine- ranging from hot to cold options. During the winter they open up the back winter chalet that has a ski resort vibe. Benches with blankets and space heaters to cozy up on. This space was great for our party of 12 but did get a little cold. Areas to improve- in the winter chalet, having a space heater on the floor should prevent the feet from getting so cold. Also our server was a little slow and hard to be found on a night that did not seem very busy. read more

Review during Covid! Came here last night with my boyfriend for dinner. It was a slow night, it was only us and two small groups in the backyard. That actually worked out pretty well, it wasn't crowded and we felt more comfortable. The backyard is very nice, with lots of plants, illuminated by lights hanging on a string. They weren't serving food last night, only Empanadas (1 for 5$, 3 for 12$). So we had: - Lime all the time: refreshing cocktail, good mix of Mezcal and citrus - Marlon Brando: this frozen drink is the bomb! The pineapple reminded me a little of a piña colada, but the Mezcal and lime cut the sweetness in the best way. Perfect summer cocktail! - beef, peas and peppers empanada - mushrooms and cheese empanada Pros: - the music is great! Just the perfect hip-hop mix, great vibes. We talked to our waitress for a bit and discovered that it's her Playlist! - service is great, you really feel relaxed and taken care of - cocktails are cheap and taste great - drinks come with popcorn! I know it's Cuomo's rule, but fresh popcorn is a nice touch compared to the usual chips - backyard is super cute and social distancing is enforced - our waitress brought us tequila shots with our check, which was really sweet of her. Cons: only one, the fact that they weren't serving food apart from the Empanadas, which are on the small side. I got there expecting to have dinner, and without more substantial food I got pretty drunk! read more

I came to Midnights with 3 of my friends last night and the service and food was beyond EXCELLENT. The atmosphere is very cozy and nice. The sous chef named Mike (yes it was that good we asked for his name) sent out ricotta gnocchi and Thai curry mussels as our starters. Generally i do not like seafood nor do i even like mussels but WOW the Thai curry mussels were extremely good and didn't have that weird seafood taste i don't like. As our entree we all had the burger and it was cooked medium and it tasted juicy and perfect. We also had truffle fries that tasted just as great as they sound With the right amount of salt and Parmesan. Lastly for desert we had the midnight glacier which consists of a brownie and gelato on top. The brownie was warm and fresh and just melted in your mouth along with the gelato. I had a great experience at midnights would definitely go back for the food. read more

Midnights - Drunk Love - Midnights twist on a Rum Punch - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm a huge fan of 1) the vibe of this place, 2) the fact that Monday happy hour is ALL DAY (picture Schmidt from New Girl here, please), 3) the fries, but especially the salt and vinegar fries, and 4) the amazing service from every single employee, even the ones that weren't our waitress. I'm not a big fan of the general prices, but happy hour helps and definitely won't break the bank if you grab a couple drinks and snack on their appetizers. They even had a burger, beer and shot special on Monday for $17. Cool if you're into shots and burgers. They had lots of unique and *~trendy~* appetizers, like brussels sprouts, beet and ricotta hummus, cauliflower tacos, vegetarian calamari... you get my drift. But also delicious sounding main dishes, like Thai red curry mussels, steak options, burgers, mushroom ravioli, etc. There's a solid selection for every type of person in your group -- meat lovers to vegetarians, you're covered. This is an awesome place for a date with a partner, date with a group of friends, or date with your family, even. There's also an outside area that I haven't been to yet (because, cold weather) but I will soon enough. read more

The service here is impeccable. You can tell everyone loves being there or at least like what they do. I came around 8 pm on a Friday evening with reservations made. I sat in the winter garden located in the back. I started off with the Berry Manilow cocktail. I loved it so much that I kept getting them throughout the meal. I'm a sucker for a well-made cocktail so this place will have a place in my heart. We started off with the cauliflower hummus. It was good. I didn't really like the beet addition to it. It was sweet which isn't something I would like for my hummus. Then we shared the mussels and the fish. I really enjoyed the fish. The skin was nice and crispy and then the meat was tender and fresh. The mushrooms were a nice addition as well. The mussels were really good. It was cooked in a coconut curry so if you're a fan of coconut this is definitely for you. read more

I can't say enough good things about Midnights. This was my first visit but definitely will not be my last. The space is small, cozy, and intimate. I went on a Monday night so can't speak to how busy it is during peak hours but I was able to walk in and quickly get a table for two. They have a solid happy hour menu (all day Monday, 4:30-7:00 Tuesday-Friday), drink menu, and dinner menu. The service was great and the space was well kept! Go on a date, go by yourself and sit at the bar, whatever you do, go! read more

I've only got great things to say about Midnights and if you're planning a big dinner like I just did, here's a comprehensive review on just how nicely our 18-person birthday dinner went. I had made a reservation about a month out and got in touch with their events/marketing guy Paul. He was super helpful from the start; patiently waiting on the final count that I had changed like four times. I confirmed 18 people for the outdoor patio (super cute, string lights, vines all over the walls, very cool.) Paul sent me over a list of apps and entrees to choose from to put on our menu. Great food selection and very veg friendly! Paul also very graciously customized our menus (it was my boyfriend's 30th bday and I wanted to make it memorable.) On tip of the back and forth, I had also asked them if I could bring my own cake, which they then took off the prix fixe per-head amount. Fast forward a month later to the day of the dinner and we are met with great weather (or so we thought), and great company. Their outdoor patio has huge fans that keep you cool - we def needed it as it was a blazing 92 degrees out. Our whole party arrived and we were greeted by friendly servers. They brought our drinks out fairly quickly throughout the night. Our appetizers were excellent (I got the tuna poke which was served in a scallion pancake shell), some loved the steak skewers and others enjoyed the hummus. It took a little bit of time before our entrees came out, and by the time the last entree came it had started to pour. Luckily we all enjoyed the food. I got the chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, some had the NY strip steak, cauliflower general tso's, potato pasta. The chicken was so flavorful that I didn't mind having waited a little bit. They also sent us some oysters for the short wait, which was a nice touch. The servers helped us dry our tables once the rain stopped and they were able to serve the cake. We had such a nice time and I highly recommend Midnights to anyone in the area. A hidden gem in Williamsburg! read more

If I could give 0 stats I would. Bouncer decided that it was not a picture of me in my I.D, I tried to show other forms of I.D, but he didn't even look. When I attempted to explain further, I was dismissed because I was "ruining his night" and "he did not want to talk to me'" read more

What a great meal! We were treated like royalty by Chef Marcellus Coleman as every dish and wine pairing was well thought out for our 5 course chef's tasting meal. To start we had the Chilled Corn Soup with Maine Lobster, this was one of our favorites and a dish we'll certainly order again. Light, bright but bursting with flavor and a hint of heat. The second course was the Hawaiian Poke - I'm a huge fan of Poke so this was a great treat. The third was the gently cooked brook trout which was paired perfectly with the grapes and pumpkin seeds / hazelnuts - gave the dish great texture And of course the highly raved Short Rib Rendang was bursting with flavor. This was truly the star of the night. Our meal ended with the Panna Cotta and by that time we were stuffed. The wines were delicious, pours generous - we can't wait to come back and try some other dishes. Thank you Midnights for a great night! FYI - We came on a Tues night and the mellow vibe really allowed to staff the fawn over us. read more

Cocktails were pretty good. If you go, definitely checkout the back terrace. I was there at night and it had a great vibe and atmosphere.

Came here for brunch on a chilly Saturday, and the brunch cocktails warmed us right up (I got the Weathervane, and it was lovely)! I also got the Banana Foster Pancakes, and they were scrumptious - not overly sweet, light, and fluffy! The waitstaff were amazing - our waiter was an adorable version of Elijah Wood, who didn't blink when my friend tried to guess his age. He also found some compote in lieu of jam when we made such a request. I wish I could come back and sample all the foods on the brunch menu -especially with the cast of characters that work at the restaurant (or maybe I'm just easily impressed because I live in Boston and we mostly sport a uniform of pressed shirts and khakis). read more

Midnights - Brunch noms! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a chance to meet someone for drinks for the first time at Midnights during the week. We decided to go on a Wednesday around 8:30 PM. When we walked in there weren't that many people sitting inside but the entire backyard space was completely full! Given this was summer that was totally understandable. I'd say if you want to snag a set of seats in the back come a little earlier in the evening. The inside has a standard bar and booths throughout the space. They has a good selection of specialty cocktails and also were able to make a lot of other typical drinks on request as well. As it got later in the night the bar became more crowded and by the time we left it felt like it was a weekend night! This is definitely a good date spot given the dim lighting and music selection. It's conveniently located on Bedford Avenue and close to the L train subway stop too! read more

The food is good, but the cocktails are great. It's definitely not a bad option for a meal, but if you're looking for a pretty place to enjoy some creative drinks, I definitely recommend Midnights. All of the cocktails I've sipped there have been tasty, but I've particularly enjoyed the Lucille Ball (a frosé with some other good ingredients thrown in there, huge portion) and the Berry Manilow (gin and berries!). Great names, right? Enjoy in the plush interior or their adorable outdoor patio. And they have a brunch deal and happy hour deals on food if you get hungry while drinking! read more

Super cute place and the drinks were actually not too too terribly priced. I would definitely go back to this bar and the upstairs is a fun section but there is also a bar and area downstairs if it's getting too crowded read more

Beware! They have a CC processing fee!! They do not inform you that there is a fee when you arrive at the restaurant or is it explicitly labeled on the menu either. Which might not be going against laws but the lack of informing is just not cool. Our meal, experience and interaction with the waiter was nice but all turned sour with the discovery of this fee. Restaurants shouldn't just be passing along these fees but should be teaming up and fighting back against these interchange fees. http://blog.goemerchant.com/can-you-charge-customers-a-fee-for-using-a-credit-card/ I give them three stars because the fee really was not cool, which should have warranted less stars but that aside I did enjoy the food and the staff were nice, sucks that they have to deal with this. I imagine many angry customers. read more

Cute place. Atmosphere sticks out the most. Decor is modern, almost upscale. It's unlike most of the other restaurants in the area (in a good way). We came mid Sunday afternoon (brunch). We were starving and our first two stops had wait times of over 1.5 hrs. Here, we were seated within a few minutes. First thing's first...they informed us that they ran out of 2 major menu items: waffles and sausage. It happens, I know. But WHYY. They offer chicken and waffles....but they run out of the most basic breakfast/brunch item.... It takes like....4 ingredients to make a waffle. SMH *face palm* Anyhow...all 3 of us ended up ordering the burger. Boring, I know, but it was a solid burger. TINY (see photo), but pretty good. The meat was cooked well and full of flavor. Accompanying french fries were delishhhhh. The meal was kind of pricey at $18-19 a pop though (considering size, and how regular of a burger it was). But let's talk about the bun... it was the basic, Wonder bread hamburger bun that you get from the supermarket and it was visibly burnt. But all 3 of our buns were like that so I suspect they over-toast it purposely. It tasted good in my opinion but overall made the burger somewhat unattractive. Admittedly, I don't have the most comprehensive opinion of the food seeing as I've only eaten here once. Not in a hurry to return though. Perhaps if I wasn't starving and decided to wait 1.5 hrs for a table at a neighboring place, I'd stop here for a drink to kill time. read more

Midnights - Burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

As a native the one thing about Williamsburg is the nightlife. So two friends and I met up at Midnights for some drinks and laughs. We sat on stools near the bar and door and was enjoying ourselves when the security guard told us we were being rowdy and to bring it down. We were shocked not because of someone doing their job, but because we were far from what he was saying. We had just started the night, we might have had two sips on our drinks, and we were sitting to ourselves. Further, the place was loud and pretty packed. He chose to single us out, and flex on the first group of people he could. It was unprofessional and un acceptable. I truly hope management addresses their employee. read more

Came to this place for dinner with friends it is super chic and lovely. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well as a beautiful patio in the back. Prices are reasonable for Williamsburg. Food options are great and healthy but smaller than usual which is something to consider. I had the fried green tomatoes which were yummy but needed a bit more seasoning for the pop! Drinks have cute and fun names "the Justin Bieber is an example of one. After 11pm the indoor area turns into a happening lounge with a DJ and drinks which is a plus. I can say we had a nice time and enjoy some nice drinks and bites. read more

Time to discuss the goodness that hangs out on N 6th. You know what comes to mind when I think of Midnights? Consistency. Midnights is hella consistent across the board, from the hospitality, (so warm & welcoming), to the food, (absolutely delicious & always on point), to the decor to the music to the drinks... and on and on. No matter how much time passes between my visits to Midnights, when I walk in, I'm greeted with a genuine "Hey! Good to see you!", or an occasional hug. There isn't ever an aggressive rush once you walk though the door, you're immediately overcome with a chill vibe, and the rest is history. Almost forgot - their outdoor space is one of the best in bklyn. If you're not yet enticed, well, I can't help ya, there. Bottom line: this team knows what they're doing. Their goal is to keep you coming back for more. And it works. read more

I had just returned from a week of travel and left my ID in another bag, so could not get in. Bear in mind this was Friday night of Halloween weekend in nyc. I am 40 years old and while youthful enough, ain't passing for enjeuneux. Nevertheless the bouncer was an absolute DICK. No empathy whatsoever. He told me he is 24 years old and has never left his ID at home. I'm sorry, WHAt? This bar is not that cool. Do yourself a favor and leave yourself, not your ID, at home. This bar is the WORST. read more

Love me some Midnights. Decided on this bar for an evening of drinks with some coworkers who also live in the area. There were 3 of us, and we got there a little early (7pm) before primetime to be seated immediately. T The inside is dimly lit and suave cocktail bar-feeling that you'd expect. Very romantic. They also have a really nice back patio, which is perfect if you're trying to squeeze out every last drop of good weather we're having. The back patio is secluded, with lots of shrubbery and space, lit up by string lights and candles. Also a nice romantic spot if that's what you're feeling. Every drink on the cocktail menu looks designed to make you look foolish when ordering - so for example, I got the Justin Bieber (~$14), which was a sweet, lemon and gin-infused drink. It was really pretty and tasted good going down, so I would recommend if you want something on the refreshing/sweet side. My coworker had her drink served in a ceramic, black fish cup, which was hilarious and fun. After that round, we decided to slow down and get some wine. So naturally, I got my favorite - prosecco, which also didn't disappoint. When you're hungry, you're hungry. We got to that point and ordered the herb fries ($7) which were average sized, hot, and overall satisfying, but nothing that will knock your socks off. They have a whole dinner menu as well, but we stuck with shareables, as some of us had to run early. Our server was kind and prompt with our drinks, and also patient when we were too busy gabbing away to actually decide on what we wanted. It is a cocktail bar, so most drinks are on the steeper side - around $11 to $15 - so expect to throw some cash down if you're gonna hang out here. Though, I'd definitely say it's worth it and will definitely be back to embarrass myself with the names of the drinks. read more

I have been here twice and still enjoy every visit. I would recommend this place for a social gathering or a fun night out rather than a date unless you don't mind the loud music. Drinks range from $11-$13 so not too bad for the location. Seating is first come first serve and limited. read more

Been here a couple times, cool atmosphere. But the last time I came I had terrible service from the bartender. He was very short and annoyed anytime I spoke to him.
