Fiending for oysters whilst strolling out in the Williamsburg, my friend and I were seduced by the sign for $1.50 oysters for HH outside and ventured inside. I'm glad we did because everything we ordered tasted great, the service was superb, and they were playing some great music (mix of chilled out hiphop and mellow electronica). Ordered a dozen oysters, an order of mussels, and herb fries. It took a while for the food to come out but the seafood was fresh and the order of mussels was huge. Fries were freshly fried and were seasoned well. Washed it all down with some Ommegang Witte on tap, a great hefeweizen that came in pretty glasses. Will definitely be back! read more

Love this place. The first time I came I did the tasting menu with my husband and we were so so impressed by the quality and presentation of the food. It stuck in my mind for months and I finally went back the other day with a girlfriend for a drink and a snack. The rest of the menu is just as excellent as all of the special dishes we tried the first time around. Cute and cozy and sure to blow up any second. read more

This is a great date spot and friends hang out spot and so close to the L. I love going here- the vibe checks out

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. It was early in the night and not busy but he seemed very frustrated on any question asks and even made snark comments. I have brought several friend groups here before but definitely don't want to encounter this man again. read more

This place is truly an amazing experience.. Basement, Backyard, ground floor.. NO where in The Burg offers that experience of going downstairs "Very very cozy".. The staff hands down, very chill ppl. It's definitely one of my new holes lol, I got a few. See you at Midnight read more

Awesome cocktail spot with nice decor. Dropped in here on a Sunday afternoon, probably during the coldest day of the year. I ordered the Pistol Pete's cocktail, which consisted of organic apple cider, bourbon, cinnamon, cloves, lemon, and orange. Was the perfect beverage and so fitting considering the frigid weather. The playlist was fantastic, best music I had heard in a bar in a while. It wasn't packed but was pretty happening for a Sunday afternoon during a long weekend, so I would be mindful of limited seating during prime time. Otherwise, absolutely recommended for a good time! read more

One of my favorite drop in cocktail bars. The ambiance is always super chill, and not remotely pretentious. I can always guarantee that I am gonna have a great cocktail experience. The bartenders are lovely, and super knowledgeable. They will give you recommendations if you can't decide what you like. This has become one of my frequent spots and it's usually an before/after dinner spot read more

Absolutely love this place. The food is AMAZING! The drinks are expertly made and the music will make you want to stay all night long. I had my Birthday dinner there last weekend and the staff was super accomodating to my party of 12. I highly recommend stopping by this new Northside gem, you will be easily impressed. *ps... the outdoor space is fantastic, this is going to be the go-to spot especially as the weather becomes warmer. Check out their brunch as well :-) read more

Classy and yet friendly, Midnights is the cocktail bar you want to go to for lively but still intimate celebrations. The bar was clean and spacious with plenty of bar seating and couches on the side. I only had one drink, the Salma Hayek, but it was well balanced and thoughtful, and definitely kept me intrigued with the citrus balanced out by the smoke from the mezcal. I didn't have the chance to try to bites here but I would not hesitate to try the food here. read more

PLEASE TRY: Crispy wings Kobe Burger Short Ribs Peruvian Chicken The food itself is worth a trip to Williamsburg, no matter where in the city you hail from. I'm always on the hunt for a new, delicious, fresh and inspired bite. This is it. If you order the Kobe burger, not only well you get the perfect succulent umami juicy patty-bun-oniony delight they serve on a slate plate- you'll get the best McDonald's French fries since the 80s, when Micky d was the best slender lightly salted delicious fry on the block. On the weekends there's a sick hip hop playlist paired with a tight late nigh menu you'd be just wrong not to try. At the very minimum- if you want GOOD FOOD. Come HERE. read more

What can I say? The service and food blew us away. Best on my food list. Well we didn't manage to try all of their food BUT we did managed to have their yummy oysters during happy hour. And WOWWWW!!!!! I love my seafood options but these oysters were on a whole other level. Me and my friends had such an amazing experience that we will be returning to enjoy more of the oysters and the rest of the menu of course. hehehe Check it out People! You will leave happy! read more

Midnights - Yummy Yummy Yummy Oysters! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I paid 24$ forgot the dish called "grilled rolled eggplant, with cheese ...". To describe you the dish and how much this is a scam, I literally had 4 tiny rolls, sized as my baby finger does. But this wasn't meant to be an appetizer, neither a gastronomic restaurant... I was choked and it didn't worth it at all. So I ordered to complete French fries with truffle oil (12$) as I was still hungry. The fries didn't get a truffle taste at all, neither the sauce !!! The weren't that good too ! Also at the end the add us a 4% extra charge to pay with credit card. The put it straight on the bill without asking you, even if you pay by cash. On top of that the service was very long. read more

This is quite possibly the worst dining experience I've had in williamsburg. A few lowlights: -Do you like burgers? This place has THE.WORST.BURGER. Here you get a soggy bread, old produce, slimy, undercooked messiness. -Want a Diet Coke? Be prepared to spend $4 plus tax and tip. A genuine rip off. -Like hearing the person across the table from you? Well, extremely loud music will prevent that from happening. Fwiw I'm a young person who likes music and has no hearing issues. The DJ was playing so loud I couldn't have a conversation during my meal. - Like ketchup or mustard with your fries? You'll have to ask for them separately, sit through multiple waiters forgetting your request, and then receive them halfway towards the meal Save your money. There are so many amazing places in this neighborhood. This is absolutely not one of them. read more

Came here for a drink friday night and got majorly scammed. Ordered one cocktail for $15 and then was charged a $30 tip, which I did not leave. When trying to call the restaurant to fix this mistake, no one ever picked up the phone and they are actually impossible to get ahold of. Also the drink was pretty bad and same with the service, would not recommend coming here unless you want to hear bad music and get scammed over shitty drinks. read more

Recently dined here for an unremarkable Sunday brunch. The place is well-decorated, but small. Sat at the bar, which takes up nearly half the restaurant. We were only amongst two or three other small parties and service was incredibly slow. Started with the blackberry ricotta corn muffin--very good (it's hard to mess up a muffin) but took nearly 20 minutes to come out. The menu initially attracted us to the establishment--and interesting take on brunch favorites, however they did not deliver. Pulled Pork Benedict consisted to too much hollandaise and large pieces of pork that lacked flavor. The greens, eggs and ham frittata was fine but they overdid it on the crème fraîche. read more

My partners and I were looking for a place to grab drinks and happy we stopped here. The place is very cute and intimate they have back patio where you can also hang out. The music selection was great and the drinks were also good. Cute date spot and also perfect for a group of friends will definitely be returning ! read more

Pretty disappointed with the service and food quality - not sure why this place is rated so highly especially where it's located. Ordered 1/2 dz oysters, mussels and vegetable dumplings to start.. all three were brought out together. (le sigh) Oysters were fine, dumplings tasted frozen and were pretty non-memorable. The mussels were the only saving grace although the waitress forgot to put in the fries and so they arrived when we were pretty much done. General Tso/inspired half chicken was also half decent but too heavily doused in its soy glaze. Waitress asked if I wanted another drink - I said yes, but didn't really matter as she never brought it over. Also, they have a full on DJ for dinner service. In his defense, he looked like he was having the most fun. read more

Had an amazing night at Midnights!!!! The staff is incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The patio is beautiful, we were a party of 6 girlfriends who wanted a place to catch up and talk and our patio corner table was PERFECT! Drinks = delicious my personal favorite Justin Bieber Food = 5 stars for sure!!! The oysters are divine! The mussels are served in a Thai curry sauce the blew my mind. The short rib was fantastic... Basically with 6 of us we tried about everything and all SO GOOD!!! Vibe = amazing, chill with great music and super fun crowd... Check this place out! read more

Came here on a Monday evening and they had happy hour all night! The happy hour wine options werent too extensive so I selected a chardonnay from the regular menu. The finger food is excellent here! Not greasy typical bar food but well prepared and flavored. The stand out dish was the red curry mussels, they were incredibly tender and flavorful. Oysters were good as was the cauliflower hummus. Service was attentive as well and the ambiance was cozy and clean. I will be back!! read more

Came here for drinks. Nice bar space. The bartender was friendly and they have a good variety of spirits and house cocktails. They had a warm cider during the fall that was nice too! read more

I thought this was a great place to hang with a friend. I can't really judge the drinks because I only tried the Justin Bieber but I loved the atmosphere. The DJ was pretty good. It is loud so you won't be able to have a in depth conversation with friends but a nice place to hang out. Parking is kind of bad if you drive. I had to circle around twice. I definitely want to come back for brunch! read more

Midnights - I tried the mussels! I thought they were pretty tasty! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came to Brooklyn to explore Refinery 29 - 29 rooms exhibit. I wanted to hit a bar after the event. Found Midnights and it was a really fun time. The bartenders are super attentive and fun. Cocktails are creative and tasty. They have a DJ booth and the DJ was playing great music and lots of good throwbacks all night. He really set the vibe of the place. It's a chill spot with a great ambiance and perfect to get a group together and just hang. read more

Oh my God, Midnights was great. It was a remarkable experience. My friend had several items from their menu, but he believes that their Steak Skewers is just simply remarkable. Staff is incredibly welcoming and will help you with anything. :) read more

If you're in Williamsburg and looking for a cute restaurant with private outdoor garden seating to grab afternoon drinks, this is your place. My friends and I were walking around nonstop trying to find a place that had space and that had outdoor seating. This place popped up on Yelp and it just so happened that we beat the crowd by a good half hour and we had the whole outdoor garden/patio area to ourselves for a hot minute. We ordered the shared frozen drink Yojimbo ($25, can serve ~3 people), which to our surprise, didn't come in a pitcher, but instead in just a larger vessel (actually a fish, which we thought was hilarious and so millennial!) with 3 straws. The drink was so good and I definitely recommend that for a lighter sweet summer cocktail. Service was super attentive and was great about keeping our water glasses filled on a hot summer day. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

Exactly Brooklyn. I guess I had it coming... I spent $20 on a very good burger with candied bacon and Roquefort cheese and probably something else on there too. Also a burrata for around $14 with great heirloom tomatoes and melon scoops. It was good! But... imagine spending $20 for a burger in Queens.. how much would you expect then? It's surprisingly small and there is a DJ. The environment is nice, only slightly contrived (more than I can say for most places around here). The prices are higher than I would do regularly and it wasn't incredible enough for me to yearn for it. You can't go wrong, but I won't come back. read more

Great music. Bartenders really wanted to know what kind of drink I wanted and began to suggest items off menu. This place will become a staple for every trip to NY. read more

Oh, Midnights! How I love thee. Let me start by saying I don't venture to Brooklyn frequently; however, I went for dinner last night and in a few hours I'm going back for brunch. There aren't enough compliments in the world. There is so much love and thought in each aspect of the restaurant that it feels like a classic already. From start to finish this place is incredible. The decor, drinks, food, service, crowd... It's everything you could want in a restaurant. Last night we had the hamachi crudo, oysters, chicken, short rib, tortellini, a couple bottles of wine, some White Girl Wasteds, and a Giant Julep in a Giant Cup and EVERY SINGLE PERSON lost their minds! It's so unbelievably delicious and balanced... I wish I could high-five every person in the kitchen. The back patio is delightfully understated; it's intimate without being overwhelmed by the crowd. My only complaint is this: I don't live upstairs and I can't have every meal here. Thank you to everyone at Midnights for giving New York City the fabulous spots she deserves! See you soon! read more

Midnights - Perfect tortellini with a sunchoke purée, black garlic, and foraged mushrooms. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you are venturing around Williamsburg, this is a great place to try out, especially for happy hour. The Oyster happy hour is amazing with the oysters being fresh and so tasty! The also have homemade hot sauce which is petty good as well as the blend of the mignonette. Spinach & Artichoke Flatbread- Bigger than I thought it would be and loaded with toppings. Very filling so be careful if you try eating a dozen oysters first like me. Crispy Brussels Sprouts- I love when someone I'm with orders brussels sprouts that are so good I forget why I keep thinking I don't like them. This dish is super tasty and the feta adds a nice tangy flavor. Hanger Steak Skewers- Aside from the oysters, this was my absolute fave. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimmichuri was just right! We only had an hour and someone managed to scarf all this down a long with a few drinks. This place is on the top of my list to go back to next time I am in Williamsburg. Heck, I may even make the trek just for this place! read more

Overall, I would give this place a positive review. The food was good, a lot of creative and explorative options (even great stuff for vegetarians!) and the cocktails had the cutest names and were great! Unfortunately, its really cramped in the space, and then during the dinner hour the added in a DJ (who was great btw) - but it just added to the cramped feeling. We ended up skipping dinner and left after the apps because it felt too tight, but it was a nice time for the most part! read more

The menu was surprisingly very vegan/ vegetarian-friendly, so for the folks who like meat, there aren't as many choices. The branzino, chicken, and mussels were great! Our server was also really nice but the price overall is expensive for the amount/quality of food. The biggest disappointment was that they charged our 11-person group ~ 3.7% Credit Card Processing fee (we only paid with one card)-- which is indicated at the bottom of their menu but I have never been charged this fee from any restaurant before, so that was a bit of an unpleasant surprise. With so many places in the Williamsburg area, probably won't be back. read more

Classy lounge vibe with a great cocktail and dinner menu. Perfect for a date night or getting together with a small group of friends. Ordered the Salma Hayek drink with a burnt orange and loved it; not too sweet at all. The smoked Jameson drink was pretty strong if you like straight whickey. Music isn't too loud read more

Great food and vibes (swanky and chill) but slightly long wait. This is not only a great bar but has a yummy selection of food as well. We came in for dinner on a Saturday with a reservation at 9:30! Came a bit late but was seated quite quickly anyways as lots of tables were leaving since it was pass the dinner rush period. I ordered a Yojimbo and it tasted so damn good I wish it had just a tad more alcohol even though it was under the highball section. We also ordered the tuna tostadas. It hits multiple notes in a unique way. The pickled ginger provided a bit of bitterness, the seaweed and yuzu were sweet, the soy provided a good salty flavor while the avocado tied it in with its creaminess. The dish came in 4 which is a bit steep for 17. I had the eggplant milanese and I highly recommend it. The eggplant was fried perfectly (not too oily). The parmesan crema paired well with it as well as the heirloom greens. The salad had a delicious vinaigrette styled dressing, too. The lobster ravioli was also quite delicious. Wish the taste of lobster was a bit more intense but it paired well with the baby tomatoes and creamy sauce. The tostada and drinks came within 10 minutes of ordering but the entrees took an extra 35-40 minutes which was quite a long wait considering there were more people just drinking than ordering food as well. Otherwise, I recommend this place. read more

Nice lowkey place to bring a date especially if you're lucky enough to get a booth with the candle lit table. If it's the summer time they have a cool backyard area too. read more

This place was one of the best brunch experiences I have had! Cane here for a friend's birthday and the service was impeccable. We sat in the covered back yard which was decorated with twinkly light and ample seating. We all got the pre-fixe($27) which includes one drink(cocktail or juice), one coffee and one entree. I got the avocado toast with turmeric poached egg with bacon on the side and it was divine. Perfectly toasted bread with perfectly seasoned avocado and decorated with tiny little edible flowers (aww) I also got a bellini which was yummy and the coffee was a good medium roast brew. My hubs got the chicken and waffles and it was out of this world. Cant wait to be back! read more

Midnights is a cozy little restaurant right next to Bedford in the heart of Williamsburg. The restaurant/bar has a nice Art Deco feel to it. We ordered... The mussels to start with. Boy were these amazing. The mussels were really fresh and the sauce was really yum yum. The dish had an Asian/Thai style curry flavor to it and I would definitely recommend getting these to try. The Special burger (which came with a blue cheese and this amazing sweet/savory thick cut bacon) I asked for it to be cooked medium rare and medium rare is exactly how it came. This was one of the best I've had in some time. My partner ordered the quinoa salad with chicken. Nicely done but nothing special They charged me an extra 3 bucks for an additional serving of bread. This was slightly disappointing especially given they only gave us 2 slices for the mussels. -1 Cocktails were pretty good too :) read more

Midnights was way too cool for me. I have no clue how I got in. It's a cocktail bar with a DJ booth playing a dance club track list. They have an extensive wine list and a nice selection of house special cocktails. They had about a half dozen drafts on tap with a limited craft selection. The ambiance is laid back and the staff is very friendly. read more

I was excited to try this place for so many reasons but the food was so salty and disappointing. Stick to the cocktails! Food: 3/5 I had the burger and fries, along with the side of Brussel spouts. My friend had the mussels in a Thai curry sauce. The burger was nothing to write home about, and pretty small for a $16 burger. The fries, spouts, and mussels were all SO SALTY each of us individually commented on it after our first bite. Eventually it was hard to eat. Ambiance: 5/5 This is why I was excited about trying midnights! It's well decorated and cozy with a lovely bar. Next time I'll come in just for a drink. Service: 5/5 Friendly and fast service! read more
