Bar Crawl: 10 Essential Brooklyn Bars, And Where To Go Nearby
Fort Defiance, Red Hook
Another place where the food is just as good as the cocktails. Which is to say, very, very good, and liable to change along with the seasons. Truthfully, we included this very much on its own merits, but also as an excuse to get you down to Sunny’s, the oldest bar on the Brooklyn waterfront that’s been slowly stuttering back to life after incurring tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage during Sandy. Stop by for a post-cocktail beer (we’re pretty sure this is a thing), and bask in the knowledge that in one fell swoop you’ve found yourself in two of the best bars this borough has ever known.
