Goodish Asian-inspired food in a cute little place but uninspiring and not unique. Portion is kind of small. Feels like they just tried to transplant LA in the south side of Williamsburg but not successful in my opinion. read more

Perfect neighborhood spot. It's small, AWESOME drinks, and the owner, bar tenders and regular crowd are great. I almost don't want to leave a review because I don't want people finding out about it.. but I do want to support them because they deserve it. They're super chill. They've let me order pizza and linger for hours. I meet people whenever I go. All around great vibes. read more

Amazing food, delicious drinks, friendly staff, and a really cool vibe = this place has it all! Had dinner and drinks last night and I'm struggling to decide what my favorite part because every single bite of food was so delicious. We had the Yuca fries with Gochujang mayo and Chips and Guacamole to start. Both were awesome and I seriously could have made a meal out of the Yuca fries they were that delicious and perfectly prepared. For our entrees we had the Katsu Sando (Fried chicken, Asian slaw, pickled jalapeno and tonkatsu sauce on a toasted sesame bun) and the Coco Bowl (crispy coconut rice, grilled garlic shrimp, maduros, Asian slaw and avocado) and both were out of this world. Without question the best fried chicken I've ever had. I'll be dreaming about this meal for a while! Pokito is the definition of a local gem. read more

See all

Fun tiki bar with Brooklyn vibe. Went to happy hour before dinner reservation down the block. Drinks were very good.

This place is awesome. If you like laid back atmosphere that's aesthetically easy on the eyes then come here. Small plates Asian/Latin fusion style and strong cocktails. Had the Shrimp Congee and it was delicious and well-balanced. Empanadas delish and all dishes come from the downstairs kitchen via a "Dumb Waiter". Simple menu with class and decently priced! read more

Pokito - Old Fashioned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Super cute and pretty cheap drinks and eats. Prices were cheaper than what I'm used to in Chicago. Wanted to grab dinner and drinks, but my group ended up not being very hungry. We ended up getting a few drinks and an order of yucca fries that were super flavorful (not dry like most yucca). There's quite a few vegetarian options. Bummed I didn't get a chance to try out more food. read more

This place blew me away, what an expected find! Nondescript exterior, but when you walk inside, a world of funk and eclectic charm. The employees are exceptionally kind and helpful. Now the food, rockstar chilaquiles (I would drink the sauce they were in, so delicious with a great heat) and the katsu sandwich was also amazing (such juicy, perfectly fried chicken with an amazing tonkatsu sauce!), also ordered yuca fries which were perfect. read more

So into this place. The vibe is really design-forward, but super casual and unpretentious. The food comes up from the kitchen via a dumbwaiter behind the bar! Empanadas have a golden, slightly flaky dough that compliments a generous meaty filling (I had the brisket/maduro kind). The cocktails are fun spins on classics (Tamarind Margs, Mamajuana Old Fashioneds), and I can't wait to make my way down the list. Maduros are perfection, and the Yucca Nachos are a blessing beneath a drizzle of avocado crema. The menu is not huge, but they really make sure to get everything right. So excited to go back. read more

Bar tender couldn't even do a pina colada. And is slow and rude. Drinks suck. This is a tiki bar and they don't do any tiki drinks and all their menu drinks suck. read more

The sweet potato pancakes son! The katsu chicken sandwich! The yucca fries tho! This spot is great, welcoming, really interesting menu combos and drinks. A gem in an overcrowded neighborhood full of overpriced and underwhelming options. GO NOW! read more

came in for a pre-theatre drink, got the best margarita & yuca fries EVER, and the smile of the owner. read more

Had the empanadas and chimi sandwich. The food was really tasty and the bartender was chill. The vibe was real laid back. I'd definitely go again :-) read more

Great vibes! You will quickly feel as if you are eating at a good friend's place... a friend that knows how to make really delicious food and excellent cocktails. Nothing pretentious here, just good times in an intimate, thoughtfully designed space. Bonus points for having food arrive from the kitchen via dumbwaiter. read more

Pokito is a newish Asian Fusion hole in the wall in South Williamsburg, and the food is goooood. Since it's such a small restaurant I was worried my friends and I would have to wait, but we walked in and got seated immediately. All three of us went for the Crispy Rice Bowl, which we all licked clean. For dessert, our adorable waiter recommended we get the Guava Empanadas, and I'm pretty sure I'll be dreaming of them until I can get back there. read more

We stopped in for a late night bite and got the salmon and congee. I liked both dishes though I thought the dish was a bit peppery. Portions were perfect. read more

Super great place to chill and get drinks. It was my first time in Williamsburg so I was happy to find a unique yet cozy place to hang for a few hours! The drink prices aren't the cheapest but they are definitely worth it. Totally gonna come back here next time I'm BK. Also all of the lights in here are pink/purple and that's dope. read more

Damn, it's such a hidden gem in Williamsburg! Cozy spot for casual drink & intimate date;) I was so impressed with their food and good vibe.

Great Mezcal Tamarind Cocktail 4/5 Empanadas made well 3/5 (great avocado crema) Yuca nachos 3.5/5 the cheese sauce was more milky than cheesy but it worked really well. Could use some more spice personally. read more

This place is super cute. Ambiance is adorable. The food was good but not great. The guac was awesome, but the coco bowl was so so. I just loved the ambiance and service was excellent too. read more

I visited Pokito with a friend and I enjoyed the beverages. Good spot for some hip music and good convo.

Came in feeling stressed and Danny was such a breath of fresh air. He made my friend and I feel so welcomed. I will def be back to dine since he highly recommended the food here. Oh and the Presidente beer is awesome! read more

Stopped in for a bite with my cousin. Got the guava + cheese empanadas, I'm a huge fan of Cuban food so recognized this combo immediately and really enjoyed it. The rest of the menu looks good and I'd love to try more. read more

This place is my favourite in Williamsburg. It's small and so is the menu but everything is so good. I had never tried yuca fries before coming here and they are now my favourite thing ever. The Katsu Sando, Coco bowl and the Chimi burger are amazing. I highly recommend! They are also everything I have tried and everything is just delicious. The Morir Sonando and Matcha mama cocktails are also yum. 100% try it. read more

Pokito - Chimi burger with yuca fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Loved the bath house interior! Awesome dark and stormies. Great reggae on the radio. Will be back to try the food!

Amazing tacos - really cool vibe and amazing service. Everyone was so attentive and really chill hidden spot. Definitely recommend!

Had the coco bowl and it was delicious. So were the yucca fries. My friend had the salad and loved the dressing. Unfortunately it was super awkward when we walked in...everyone sitting at the bar turned and stared at us and just waited, I think they were all servers too? Finally after an uncomfortable length of time we asked if we could sit and one of them stood up and sat us but seemed really annoyed and then walked away and didn't come back for a long time. We didn't even come right before closing or anything...it was weird. Also the lighting was just awful and blue and dark in there. I wanted to love it. Might try coming back during the day. read more

Really bad service , missing apps, slow service. Drinks were good but food was pretty ok. Ordered yuka fries, poke, empanadas. Pick a different place to eat! read more

Incredible ambiance. Neon lights dangling from every observable overhead surface. Staff is attentive, friendly, and skilled. Melon candies are a hit. I could drink here everyday and be happy. Thank you read more

Great food and nicely priced drinks, some awesome CBD cocktails. The chix sandwich is amazing and worth going out of your way for. Nice neighborhood locale. read more

Really good empanadas. Awesome yuca fries and plantains. Also really great matcha drink I think it's called the matcha mama

This is my new favorite place in Williamsburg :). The snacks are delicious and the staff is super friendly and laid back. My friends and i relaxed late into the evening over drinks and we didn't feel any rush to leave. The interior is so beautiful, I felt like i was in a whole different, more tropical, city. read more

Strongly recommended. Tiny place, great service, quirky decor and really delicious food. Nice bar with carefully crafted cocktails.

My real estate broker had to pick up something in his Wburg location and he insisted that I try the spicy shrimp empanada. They were sold out and it was only 1 pm! After tasting the chicken empanada with ginger and scallions now I see why. The pastry part of the empanada was perfection. The seasoning was on point and the hot sauce was excellent! I wish I could have stayed longer and ate some other items. There will be a next time I hope! read more

We wandered into this place after walking across the Williamsburg bridge. It was such a pleasant surprise! We weren't hungry so we only had drinks but would definitely come back to eat. The food looked amazing! This is where the Dominican Republic meets Japan and it's so awesome! I promised our bartender (maybe Manager?) that I would mention him by name but I forgot it. He was super friendly and that made our experience even better! read more

super tasty! Got the yuca fries, empanadas, and green bowl! yum yum

I had a great dinner here a few nights ago. The place is tiny but it was neither crowded nor empty. Nice ambiance with cool up-tempo dinner music playing at just the right volume. The waiter/bartender was very friendly. I had a whiskey cocktail and the house burger which were both very tasty. I had one night to my myself in Williamsburg before the NYC, New Years madness kicked in and I'm very glad I happened across this place for a relaxing, quiet meal. read more

This bar changed my life. I was having the worst day of my life and I saw this bar and impulsively walked in to have a drink. The bartender, Syd, made sure I had everything I needed and listened to my complaints about life and gave me the best advice. I would take a bullet for this bar. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and their mother. read more

One of Williamsburg's best kept secrets. Probably won't be the case for long. Chicken Katsu is great. Cocktails are great. Vibe is incredible and completely original which is rare for this neighborhood. Well done. read more

Great food with generous portions. Intimate atmosphere, dark and candle lit. Friendly and attentive staff. I had the coco rice bowl with salmon. Careful ordering the pickles: the bowl had too many jalapeños which made it unbearably hot. read more

Really great drinks! I loved the blonde bartender, great server and fun company. All the food is spectacular with flavours you don't typically find with the menus creative cuisine fusion. I've tried the nachos, fries, green bowl, coco bowl, poke bowl and chicken sandwich and all are delicious. I've heard the catfish tacos are really good as well that's next on my list. If you have a sweet tooth the flan is AMAZING. My roommate talks about it excessively and had ordered two for herself before. Seriously you have to try it! read more
