    Went here to grab drinks with a friend and found a spot at the bar. This place definitely attracts a crowd on a Saturday night and they had some of the March Madness games playing on a big screen. Vibe was fun and drinks were decent--and very reasonable. Not a bad spot to check out if you're looking for a fun bar in the area.

    No, seriously. Free jukebox.

    Moonlight Mile is like some kind of magical Goldilocks bar - everything here is just right. A large group of us recently spent a good chunk of the night here for a friend's birthday celebration and, while patrons came and went all night, somehow the crowd size and noise level always seemed perfect - crowded enough to feel fun and vibrant, but never so crowded or loud that you felt even remotely claustrophobic, or as if you couldn't hear the person standing two feet from you. The decor is dark yet somehow warm and welcoming, like any good bar should be. But now, I've buried the lede.. should have gotten to the drinks first, shouldn't I have? Again, I think a perfect array of options for any drinker in your party - an excellent, diverse assortment of about 12 craft beers on tap, a small but solid wine list (the Albarino was very popular), and wonderful cocktails, solid and unpretentious (just like the bar). They are created with care and precision (but, blissfully, not by people with waxed moustaches and knickerbockers). My personal favorites were the Kennessee Old Fashioned (Bourbon, Sassafras Syrup & Bitters) and the Greenpoint Sour (Rye, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup, Egg White & Blueberry Port). Music, you say? A good bar needs excellent tuneage? The jukebox is free - yes, FREE!!! - and yet, judging by the number of our songs we heard during the night, none of the fine patrons of this lovely establishment abuse this privilege and commandeer the juke to play 40 songs in a row. Not to mention that the jukebox seems impeccably curated, with a diverse array of musical eras and genres. I'd say I fully love (and probably own or owned) 97% of the albums on the box -just drop the Bush album and the 2 Springsteen albums and I'll say your batting 1.000, Moonlight Mile! This bar was so wonderful, just immediately made me feel so completely at home, that it seriously made me wish that I lived in Greenpoint. I mean, until I got to the subway station to go home and saw that hope-killing, neon-green circular G staring me in the face, but nevertheless... I am sure it will make me get back on that G train in the future, which is indeed no small feat.

    The , Moonlight is back baby. We missed you guys sooooo much, and the Old fashions, lol. The Greenpoint sour is still rockin. Outdoor seating for now, but the bar still has that vibe, love it. Great to see you all...

    The Moonlight Mile :: A Story. My friend (a Greenpoint local) and I have been going on twice monthly food and drink adventures in the area and one evening she recommended The Moonlight Mile because it's her favorite and I love whiskey (spoiler alert - it's my favorite now too!). We always have such a good time here that we have since made a pact to end all evenings here when I'm east of the East River. Our first time was a Friday evening - we had come from another local spot on a rainy night where the drinks were just okay but the people watching was amazing. I immediately loved the vibe and aesthetic here - it's super cozy but also romantic lighting if you're taking a date. Since I adore peated anything, I got the Americillin and it was love at first sip! So, so good! My friend ordered the Foggy Mountain Manhattan which she said was delicious and also beautiful! Crafting the drinks here is a true art form - so fun to watch! We naturally needed a second round and I tried the Ned Stark because I was curious about the pear juice and three chili syrup - it was good, but not as good as the Americillin and I might never stray again. My friend tried either the Old Fashioned or the Molly Manhattan and similarly preferred her first drink moving forward. To my surprise I was able to order a hot dog made at the bar when I needed a snack - also super tasty and a solid deal at $3! This is a great little perk. The bartenders here are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and fun and they always have a great playlist reminiscent of Alt Nation circa 2010 - I love it! We have, as promised, been back every time since I've been in Greenpoint and we tend to bring even more friends each time. This past weekend we did a whiskey tasting - sweet, smoky and spicy. I loved the sweet and spicy whiskeys but sadly the smoky was too much for me which I was surprised! Maybe need to try a different one next time - we got a great lesson about all 3 with our tasting (thanks Zach!). We split 2 tastings among 4 people which was perfect and the pours were generous. I also had a beer for the first time because their selection is excellent! Highly recommend the Cigar City Guayabera Citra Pale Ale. I love so many things about this place - including that they carry my favorite peated bourbon from Kings County Distillery and that it's owned and operated by locals! Can't wait to come back!

It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show.

After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard.

After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year.

Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
