Bar Crawl: 10 Essential Brooklyn Bars, And Where To Go Nearby
Hotel Delmano, Williamsburg
On the other side of the “Williamsburg bar” coin—the side in which you’ve maybe outgrown the urge to wash down greasy snacks with a cheap beer-and-a-shot combo every single time you go out—there are the high-end cocktail purveyors. And few people do this better than Hotel Delmano, whose “elaborate, old-school drinks” game is so on-point that it incorporates actual absinthe fountains. Not the place for cheapskates or lightweights, but for exquisitely crafted cocktails that you’ll never find anywhere else and a relaxed place to hole up away from the madness of Bedford, they can’t be beat.
