The drinks are basic--beers, shots, beers and shots. I had a margarita and it wasn't the best I've ever had--but I came here for pinball, man! The bartender was attentive and friendly. She told me about the games available and which were newest. I had hoped The Mandalorian and Halloween games were still around, but they had sadly moved on. First, I still had a great time! Secondly, this just shows this venue changes out their games fairly often, and that's a plus for regulars. I should also mention, for NYC, the drinks are very reasonably priced. The variety of pinball machines was impressive and super cool. Twilight Zone, Monster Bash, Jaws, Stranger Things, Deadpool, Demolition Man, Elton John, and more. You can use quarters, but the machines also take one dollar bills, which I found super convenient. I gave the bartender a 20 and she gave me 20 ones, and I had a blast. Each machine has a cup holder for your booze. I enjoyed each machine for a different reason. I actually enjoyed the Elton John game a lot! And Monster Bash was pretty cool and seemed to let me have a lot of extra games. You can tell these games are loved and well cared for. Clean and immaculately maintained. This is a fun, low-key place to check out if you like basic, low-priced booze and pinball.

What was formerly known as Capri Social Club is so normal looking you wouldn't necessarily…read moreunderstand it's cult favorite status in the neighborhood at first glance. Understated would be the best descriptor for this bar known for their PBR's and cheap beer+shot combos. In fact this has been the site of many film sets, chosen for its non regionally specific qualities because from the outside and inside it really does feel like it can be as much a bar located in a town many states over as one right here in Brooklyn, a little out of place among the new buildings and new age cocktail bars that populate the Greenpoint. It isn't just one demographic that you'll find filling most of the seats here either. Different age groups, personalities and backgrounds will find themselves here, much like the makeup of the surrounding neighborhood. A great equalizer of a bar, which is part of the draw. That you can have a raucous conversation with folks you may not otherwise find yourselves rubbing elbows with.

This bar is lame! People keep telling me "oh it's for locals" or "oh, this is a blue collar place",…read moreand I don't buy any of the excuses. It's just not fun, and the thought of it being any sort of "social club" (See: previous name, categorization on Yelp) is complete hogwash. I mean, they do beer/shot combos for cheap. That's cool I guess, but I had quickly learned it's what half the dives are adhering to. I don't care if their draught selection is sparse, what gets me is how tiny the pours are. I do not think it was even a full 12 oz in my little mug. Maybe 10. Can someone measure this out for me? Goodness gracious I don't like paying pint prices to get just over half a pint. Liquor selection blows. It's cash only, which you'd only know from a very small, inconspicuous sign above the register. And to make matters worse, their ATM was down! And they were completely unaware. Goodness gracious, I'd never come back here.

They also have basketball machines where you can play solo or with friends. Inside, there's a bar along with a food stall called peeps kitchen that serves finger foods like fries and fried chicken. The food was just alright. The atmosphere was great. They allow dogs as I saw a few roaming around. They had two tvs playing random sporting games. The staff was willing to change the channel if you asked. The place seemed quite busy the entire time with lots of people coming in and out even on a random weekday night.

It's laid back, simple, clean. Bar is pretty comfortable seating-wise. Bartenders are always kind and hospitable. In fact, this time around I chose a drink I didn't like and the bartender asked if they could make me another one. I told them only if they would let me pay for the one I didn't like (I'm not a person who tries things and then doesn't pay). But they insisted that I take a new drink (that they made off menu, for me special) without paying for the discarded one. By the way, there was nothing wrong with the one I tried, it's just I'm really tired of the jalapeño trend and it turned me off with the jalapeño flavor. I had the pretzel and mustard, which again is a huge portion and you'll never be able to finish it unless you have help. I also had the hotdog, made with all the pickle relish, brown mustard, and onion toppings. It was average, but hit the spot and wasn't too heavy. Nothing fancy, but the vibes are IMMACULATE.
