    Strawberry daiquiri slushie
    Sam S.

    If you want to get drunk for cheap, this is a place to go. There are many different flavors of slushies which cover up the flavor of the very heavy pour of rum. Make sure to mix it though or else it will go from being super sweet to super alcohol tasting. Also make sure to bring cash or use the ATM outside.

    Brooklyn Lager In A Cup

    It's one of these parts' most unassuming bars. I was looking for a turkey theme but could not find it. The bar looks like it's been around awhile, not one of the ones that have recently cropped up. It has relatively cheap beer. That comes in styrofoam cups. I ordered a Brooklyn Brewery Lager. It's $6 for a 32 ounce, which is not terrible for a craft beer. This is one of that brewery's best beers, and it's good to get it here if you don't feel like messing with the brewery and the tourists. I was confused the first time I ordered beer. I was handed a styrofoam cup. Maybe they had my order wrong and thought I wanted pop? It was right though, it was beer. They put beer in styrofoam cups. In a way, that's awesome. You can take it out with you and the cops think you're drinking pop. It's an interesting concept. It also is a lot of beer for your money. The environment may not like it though.

    Hardcore bar. Bar bar bar. Don't fuck around. Just vibe enjoy your time. Good vibes.

    Entirely too many 12 balls.

    This is perhaps the best dive in Billville. It's cheap. It's got character. It's got characters. It's even quite festive thanks to some tasteful Christmas lights thrown up for the season. And I think I mentioned this, but it's worth saying again: it's cheap. They will hand you entirely too much alcohol for entirely too little money. And they don't care what you do after that transaction takes place (go drink in the park for all they care), because The Nest is also tolerant. So if your drunken idiot friends have already been thrown out of a restaurant for violently expressing their love for one another,* the Turkey's Nest is the only logical choice. Because they've seen worse. The decrepit pool table may sport three 12 balls, but that just means the bartender barely blinks when some asshole spills an entire beer on the felt. If an argument ensues about whose fault the spill was and a playful humping/eye-gouging occurs as a result, the rest of the crowd won't even notice. I for one am just glad that long ago they decided to serve drinks in plastic or styrofoam, which lessens the chances of broken glass/bleeding. And it's always easier to have a good time without broken glass. _____________ *I'm assuming I'm not the only one this happens to.

    Very poor customer service when I first entered with my sister and her friend we were not greeted at all. (We are Afro Latinos ) we purchased 3 drinks and played pool. This is my first time here so I went to ask if they sell food, as I approached the bartender he turned his back so I said "hello" which he ignored me, so I said "hello how r u doing" he continued to ignore. So I walked away, as I walked away he turned around and ask if I was talking to him (there is no one else in this bar except me my sister and her friend) I commented on how rude his customer service was. So he said he didn't hear me. Mind you we are the only three people in the entire bar.

    Love the name. Nice location that's a little ways away from the craziness of Bedford Ave. It's open early and late. So of course I had a few hours to kill on a Monday afternoon so why night day drink at the Turkey's Nest? Deal. Pints of Brooklyn Lager were $6 apiece--an OK deal. I was offered a 32oz. pour in a paper cup for $12, but didn't see the point. Later on, it dawned on me that the paper cups are for when you might just step outside and walk off into the night, or hop in an Uber, sippin' on a beer in a Coke cup. I guess that's cool that they don't really give an eff, but that seems to be the general vibe of NYC--you can do whatever you want whenever you want so long as you aren't messing with anyone else's vibes. And the vibes at Turkey's Nest are pretty chill, if not a little bit racy.

    Walked into Black Rabbit on a Saturday night around 8pm to grab cocktails ahead of meeting friends…read moreout later in the evening. The cocktail menu included a selection of martinis, including a pickle martini which I knew I had to get and happy I did so as it was perfectly made. The ambiance was dark and mysterious with various black rabbit themed decorations of art and taxidermy lining the rustic and wooden walls. The bartender was very friendly and service was quick and smooth. The pickle martini itself was delicious and I could've ordered several if I wasn't pacing myself for a longer night ahead. The bar food menu included a selection of cheeses as well as mini burgers which I personally opted for and exceeded my expectations. After the martini and grub we opted for a couple of their draft beers which were also a great choice. By the time we were leaving, the bar was full and there was a lively birthday party being hosted in the back. I'd recommend black rabbit for any type of evening you're looking to have.

    Nice place to visit while in Greenpoint. Inside is exactly the way I like it. Dark ambiance. Old…read moreschool booths with swinging doors. Outside is a nice size space for day drinking with a large group Crowd is great, service attentive and they make a mean Moscow Mule. I haven't tried the food yet but am eyeing the pimento cheese next visit!
