Achilles Heel

Original building from the 1920's, has the speakeasy flare. Cozy and comforting, a popular place for all types. The original old grandeur still remains. Lovely cocktails, appetizers, and the staff are wonderful!

Overpriced for being so far north west and north in greenpoint, but can't deny the speakeasy den feel really works

Excellent bar. Vibe ranges from quiet and cozy to hip and loud depending on when you're there.

Fantastic bar with great cocktails. It's pretty out of the way, but definitely worth the trip. The vibe is really cool and laid back. We had a cheese and charcuterie plate which was excellent.

Located at the bottom corner of a street in Greenpoint, this isn't the type of place you'll find by accident... but find it you should. I popped here in our last night before flying home – and wished we'd come here earlier. It was cold outside (snow was on the way) and they had the wood fire lit, so the whole place had a lovely smokey smell. We sat by the fire and an enthused barman greeted us, advised us on drinks, and recommended dishes too. He brought me a sample of his suggested cider to ensure I liked it before giving me a larger glass. Around us, people were happily chatting, and the whole place had a friendly, fun, relaxed atmosphere. The food arrived (mine a cheese plate, my other half's an oyster dish) and both were delicious. We left feeling like we'd found a real gem.
