What a cute date night spot! Around the bar or seated at a table, not too loud so you can actually chat. The drink menu is unique and I can't wait to go back! Pro tip! Want a party spot? They have a room in the back! read more

Grabbed brunch with a few of my buddies recently here, and woukd realistically give 3.5 stars, but rounding up to 4 because I really liked the french toast. Walking in at like 2:15 or so, wasn't super packed so was easy to grab a table, and we got our (happy hour!) drinks quickly. That said, after placing our food order, it took a very long time for the food to actually come out. My friends enjoyed their dishes, I liked my fried chicken and French toast, but the main issue I had was the chicken being a bit overcooked and tough to cut. The crust of the chicken was good though. Hoping I just came on an off afternoon! read more

This spot is so highly rated on yelp and i had been meaning to check it out for a while! They have a happy hour but unfortunately I missed it so will have to go another time for that. Went on a Thursday evening and it was pretty vacant around 6/7! Very nice bartenders and lots of windows so you can get sunlight during the day. I opted for a cocktail and the burger which comes with fries. I thought the cocktail was ok, not sure if i'd get it again as i felt it was a little on the weak side. burger was solid, i like that they use butter lettuce here if that is something anyone is particular about. Its not a smash burger so keep that in mind, its dry aged and a thicker patty. good fries on the side as well and lots of them! Think the burger is around $20 which isnt too bad for the portions. hope to be back to check out the happy hour! read more

5 stars for the vibes! I didn't try the food. I just had a beer at the bar and the bartender was super nice and attentive with everyone!

Totally amazing! Sadly, this will be a brief review... for now. I came here to attend a friend's baby shower. What a great time. The place was great, the staff was great, the food was great, and the cocktails were divine. Even though we used the back room, I would say that I loved the decor and space of the entire tavern. It's looks great and modern without sacrificing comfort. The snacks were great, but the cocktails stole the show. Everyone's got cocktails and they rarely live up to the price tag (imho) but not here. Silver Light's cocktails were creative and delicious with plenty of variety for everyone. Finally, the staff couldn't have been nicer. It's clear that they care about the folks that step through the door, they care about your experience, and they care about each other. I cannot wait to return to provide an more detailed review, but it's a must-go. PS: My favorite cocktail was the "Fall in Mexico" read more

Silver Light Tavern is a low key kind of bar with a decent selection of food items. Nice for when you're out kinda late and want to sit down, relax, and have a bite. I can't say I was blown away by the food, unfortunately, but the server we had was very nice and attentive. An overall decent spot, but I wouldn't say it's the best bar food you can get. read more

Came here on a whim and didn't care much for the burger or the fried. The burger lacked seasoning and I didn't care for the bun. The fries were a bit too hard for my taste. My husband enjoyed his burger but acknowledged that the bacon probably saved it. Wouldn't come back personally but as always recommend you stop by ! read more

The wife and I stopped in on Sunday, July 13, 2025. We were greeted by a very fun, happy and beautiful person by the name of Graham. He made us feel welcomed and comfortable right away. His personality was full of life and fun. He was very helpful in making some food suggestions. As well as a very nice drink which I took him up on. The place itself is very cozy and lends itself to a cool, mellow neighborhood vibe. DEFINITELY COMING BACK!!! read more

A lowkey spot in Williamsburg serving up one of my favorite piña coladas in the city. The outdoor patio is lovely, the indoor ambiance is really nice and the waiters have a sense of humor. It was generally a fun post-dinner spot! read more

Awesome drinks, food, and service. Wonderful neighborhood spot with a fun vibe, and lovely as well with tons of natural light. The back room is a great spot for a private party. read more

Delicious food, lovely bartenders and servers, super dim lights - what more could you want?

Surprises await when you get off on Bedford of the L train. Silver Light Tavern is one of them. They had bar seating, but all the seats were taken. We were able to get a table without waiting. It was dark and loud inside. I got the Plum Crazy - the sweetest cocktail ever. I loved it! Sunday in Paris and Sundance Kid were other table favorites. Our server was excellent. He was like dance-y when he talked to us. They accept credit card payments, but not Apple Pay. Bathrooms were in the back. read more

nicely lit atmosphere . clean bar. bartenders ehh food was above average drink prices really cheap. read more

Superb cocktails and great food in a beautiful space , highly recommend ! Attentive service and great ambiance

On the first temperate-ish Saturday of the year, there was nary an empty seat at Silver Light Tavern's heated patio, except for a lone table that was the only one without an overhead heat lamp. It was still pretty chilly to be outdoors, but my friends and I huddled around this heat lamp-less table, just happy to be outside. Fortunately SLT anticipated times like these for their customers, and dedicated a whole section of their menu to hot cocktails. I cupped my frozen fingers around the hot mug my cocktail came in and slowly sipped it, just happy that it was strong. "Drink yourself a jacket" is something we used to say in college back when we prioritized looking cute over comfort, and it felt apt here. As we waited for a heated table to clear up, we enjoyed a plate of their fried cauliflower, and once we secured a table under a toasty heat lamp, I ordered a few rounds of their fantastic bloody marys. I rounded it out with a rose, and was nice and buzzed by the time I stumbled out of the joint, already plotting my next return to one of the best outdoor dining set ups in Brooklyn. read more

obsessed with this spot - mainly because of the bartender!!! i forget his name but he was the nicest and funniest the drinks: we got the orange wine, a draft beer, and the old fashioned for happy hour. everything was rlly good and i especially liked the orange wine! the space: so cute and filled with festive lights, we sat in the little corner that's a whole separate, private little space. i loved ! read more

Was visiting some friends for the weekend, while they slept in, we wanted brunch at 3pm! It was very hard to find what we were looking for, brunch and alcohol provided (not BYOB), so after seeing this was "upscale brunch" and also had cocktails, we decided to try it out, despite the prices. Ordered the mimosa ($13, fresh squeezed OJ) and the huevos rancheros. My S/O ordered the Pal Around ($15 Mezcal cocktail) and the Croissant and Chicken. Have pictures of my set up, but overall both were good. Nothing crazy special, but decent. Service was fine, nothing to rave about. It wasn't very busy inside, but the bar area was beautiful with hanging plants, and soft lighting. There were no TVs, so don't go to brunch expecting to catch the football game during the NFL season. read more

My fiancé and I hosted our engagement party at SLT. We had such an amazing experience. The staff was so friendly and accommodating throughout the entire event. The space is also perfect for a medium sized event. We also thought the cocktails were excellent. Would absolutely recommend this place for anyone interested in having a private event in Williamsburg! read more

My friend and I were walking around, looking for a place to eat at because we were both pretty hungry. We saw such good reviews on this place that we had to try it out. The weather was fantastic, so we sat outside. Our server was lovely, he was so, so friendly and funny. The food was also decent and came out quickly. I had a daiquiri and the tavern burger. Overall, an enjoyable experience and a great place to catch up with my friend. Would return if I'm ever back in the area and hungry! read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner on a weeknight. Menu was simple and straightforward. Fair variety in the food, beer, and whiskey options without being overwhelming. The bar has a cool layout making it very maneuverable. I opted for the cauliflower sloppy Joe. The cauliflower filling was flavorful and it was every bit as messy as a meaty sloppy Joe! Came with a heaping of fries. They were crispy and not greasy at all. Service was friendly and attentive. They have three gender neutral restrooms. One is handicap accessible. There are a couple exterior sinks so you don't need to enter the bathroom to use a sink. read more

The bar looks like a boat! Or was I drunk? The food and the service here have been phenomenal. I have visited multiple times and sat at the bar and a table and been taken care of well each time. The fried cauliflower are very tasty. Top 3 for sure! Dipping sauce kept me coming back. Similar situation on the Brussels. Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. None of the off putting Brussels flavor. (Sorry real Brussels sprouts fans.) The chicken schnitzel was a welcoming site and ate light and fresh with the accompanying salad. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

We chose SLT for my daughter's baby shower. From the very beginning, the team was responsive and accommodating. The food was terrific, and was replenished appropriately throughout the event. The venue was just perfect, and the staff was professional and engaging. Would highly recommend holding an event here! read more

Came here for birthday brunch and both had this super yummy burger. Just don't try putting it down once you pick it up! You will definitely eat all the French fries, and maybe your neighbors too depending who finishes first. Beautiful bar and wonderful staff and owners :) read more

Truly the best bar in the neighborhood. The best people work there, making the best drinks, and delicious food (something for everyone!). Can't recommend stopping in here enough- you won't be disappointed!! read more

This is a comfortable, attractive space with delightful cocktails (so far as we tried two on our first visit), a warm crowd, and welcoming servers. The menu looks promising, too, so we plan to return, perhaps on a drive from Jones Beach to the Upper West Side? Good parking out back on Frost Street but easier by bicycle. Happy hour 4-6 PM is smile-worthy. SHOUT OUT to Chris for making us feel like regulars on our first visit read more

This place is such a hidden gem. Great atmosphere, very friendly service, and food is great. The fried cauliflower is a must-try. One of my go-to spots in Williamsburg! read more

Stopped by with a group of 6 on a Thursday evening. No wait at all, but it did start to fill up by the time we left. The staff were so so friendly, so that alone will bring me back to Silver Light. On a crazy hot and humid summer day, we also all really appreciated that the AC was on full blast. read more

Silver light is a great neighborhood spot. Great drinks, late night food and nice ambiance.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Not only are the drinks top notch, every single dish on the menu is delicious and the service is impeccable. Definitely order the fried cauliflower and burger!! They also put in a lot of thought into the seasonal menu and everything we've tried have been amazing. Mike and Stu are fantastic people and they will make you feel so comfortable while you enjoy their food. We'll definitely be back very soon :) read more

We celebrated the wedding of our son and his beautiful fiancé with a pre-wedding rehearsal dinner at the Silverlight Tavern and everything was beyond perfect. Kristina, Mike and the whole staff were so helpful and accommodating that every detail was attended to from the presentation of the food, the deserts and a great conversation at the bar in the party room, which comfortably accommodated about 60 people. On behalf of the bride and groom, my son's in-laws and our family and friends, we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience!! read more

Whenever I go to a new spot, I get a burger. 1) Because I absolutely love burgers and 2) It's a great way to gauge a restaurants attention to detail and quality control. If you make a solid burger, I can trust making my way through the rest of your menu. With that, I got the burger at Silver Light Tavern and have continued to get it because it's the best damn burger I've ever had. They're humble about their burger as they do have a solid menu all around (I eat other people's dishes too) but I can't help but think of their burger at random times during the day which says a lot. Also, I live in Crown Heights and that will never stop me from coming here just for my cheat meal which of course is the burger! Did I mention you should try their burger?! I should make it clear that Silver Light Tavern is an amazing spot in general and the staff have always added to the enjoyment but it probably goes without saying at this point, I come here for the ___________! read more

Silver Light Tavern - The Best Damn Burger! Just look at it... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My Fiancé and I recently had our engagement party at Silver Light Tavern. Not only is their pricing super competitive, especially for the area, but everything about the party ran SO smoothly. Kristina was amazing, regularly checking in with me throughout the night to make sure everything was how we wanted it, letting me know where we were at against the minimum. All the guests raved about the food and the drinks. The ambiance was so perfect, they put candles everywhere and let us decorate the space and play our own music. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend reserving a space at Silver Light Tavern for any future events! Thank you Kristina and team!!! read more

Silver Light Tavern - Shady Lady - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

With so many local favorites in Wiliiamsburg closing due to the fake L train shutdown (and rising rent costs), it's so refreshing that a great new local spot bucked the trend. The space is inviting and warm. The circular bar in the center and the floor to ceiling windows being the highlights. The food is fantastic. We tried the home made pasta and the mushroom toast and were blown away by the amount of flavor packed into these small plates. Can't wait to come back and try some of the larger plates. The drink menu has cocktails that range in price from $11-13 which is so nice to see with many restaurants going with the unfortunate trend of having cocktails close to $20. I tried both gin cocktails and loved both of them. Can't wait for their cafe to open for morning and afternoon coffee and to have many, many more nights at this new local. read more

My husband and I recently held our wedding reception party at SLT, and could not have been happier with the entire experience. We live in the neighborhood and have been coming to SLT for drinks and food for a while (always great!). Mike was our point of contact for the party, and was incredibly easy to work with - really took the stress out of wedding planning! We had around 50 guests for our party, and the back room felt comfortable and great for a party our size. Our goal was to be as low key as possible, and the room really didn't require anything from us except our guests - no decorations needed. Mike was on site day of, which was awesome, and the entire SLT team provided great service. We're so glad that we were able to celebrate this special day at SLT and wouldn't have changed a thing. read more
