We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

I mean, I've had bad pina coladas at dive bars, but I expected more from this place. I would say it was very strong, though, so you know what? That's a good thing to be very strong for that price I'm paying. The spam musubi was also a rip-off. You see two here, but each one costs its own $10, so save your money. Eat somewhere else. Eat a pizza across the street.

Instead you come across this very little tiki joint which offers cocktails, and even a light beer just so you can unwind after a long day of work or just need an escape. I would recommend sitting down in their little cafe where no one would bother you or disturb you. Have yourself Maple latte and a shot of gin, relax yourself and enjoy the ambiance. Definitely will be visiting more often because I LOVE small intimate spaces where I can unwind and have myself a beer or latte. Phenomenal coffee and better service!

Friday Saturday, I know for sure they check ID via security, any other day the bartender can card you if you look underage or janky. No food served here but you are allowed to bring in your own food. Next door is Wing Bar (great wings if i do say so myself) The drinks are resonably priced $8-$14. Summertime check out the bakcyard and cool down with a signature frozen zombie, you wont be disappointed.

They have a great setup outside where you can just sit along the bar and sidewalk. It's definitely a popular neighborhood spot, but there are always people coming and going and service is super nice and quick with drink orders.

The food and drinks were phenomenal. I took off one star because we had an issue with the table we…read morereserved. We had reserved a table outside and called in the morning and afternoon to confirm that we had the table. When we walked in, they tried to put us at the table that was in the room between the main area and the outside area. That room was extremely hot as instead of A/C, they had just 2 fans and also, we would have been bothered by people walking back and forth by us. After calling the manager, they have reluctantly agreed to sit us outside. I think what happened is they had a large party of 30 people outside and probably have given up one of the tables for it. Once we were seated, everything went well. I had coconut shrimp and split hanger steak main with my friends. It was 8 of us so everyone tried different things and loved them.

The real sand floor makes this so fun and unique as if you're really at the beach. It's a combination of a dive bar meets beach shack with tiki drinks. We came for a drink, which you scan a QR code for the menu. They don't have physical menus as my WiFi wasn't working too well in here, but they gave me the WiFi password to access. I ordered the Hibiscus Margarita ($15), which was ok. I think frozen would've been tastier than on the rocks, but it was too cold. The fiancé's Bushwacker ($15) tiki cocktail was good though and came in a fun tiki cup. Definitely recommend the tiki cocktails here. They also have a covered outdoor patio that is also covered in sand. Seems like the perfect spot for a frozen tiki cocktail on a hot summer day, though they really made the best of it even in the winter.

There are certainly things to love about Williamsburg but something I tire of is how many businesses in the area seem to adhere to a more formulaic rubric and in the process ends up feeling generic and less memorable. Pokito is a place that knows what it is and its essence is palpable. We only stopped in for one drink but I almost felt like an interloper upon entry, like I was walking into a party I wasn't invited to. This is not to say I felt unwelcome, but more that I am not a regular here and most of the other patrons seemed to know one another and the staff, which I much prefer to a more impersonal vibe. Overall, Pokito is fun and funky and chill and has seriously good cocktails that are creative and refined. We came here after dinner on a Saturday night, probably around 10:30. It was decently busy and most seats were taken but luckily the two vacant ones were two stools at the bar which we happily grabbed. Though I am never one to pass up a dirty martini and I still have FOMO when I look at Pokito's menu now, I ended up ordering the Smoki Negroni (suntory roku gin, campari, sweet vermouth, smoked lapsang souchong black tea and orange bitters) because I had ordered a dirty martini at dinner and a negroni was feeling like the right choice for this time of night. This one was as good as any, made special by the addition of smoked lapsang souchong which I've had in cocktails a few times it always adds some rich, earthy, smoky notes to a drink. Though we weren't here for too long, Pokito made an impact. On a different night, I could easily see myself spending much more time here -- it's perfect for a late night hang with a small group.
