Are These the 10 Best Bars in Brooklyn?
The Voice’s Fork in the Road blog recently released a ranking of the 10 best bars in Brooklyn. Selections were based on “atmosphere, company, value, and the quality of the beverages,” and Williamsburg’s Spuyten Duyvil nabbed the top spot. The rest: 2.

It’s nice to see so many neighborhoods represented! What do you think of the list?

Barbes!
BoD, why the rolley-eyes to Bklyn Social?
some particular unpleasant memory perhaps?
11217, I went there with a couple of PLUSAs and it was gooooood. We all agreed. The only downside was waiting for over an hour to be seated. I’ll just make reservations next time.
I think I miss Magnetic Field.

I miss the bartender there, Nicole.
Yeah, to each his/her own Kens. Apparently GuyIncognito hates Spuyten Duyvil and I love it.
That’s why there are so many bars…each attractive to different kinds of people.
Glad you liked Bogota…it’s a great one!
11217, as CGar knows, I HATE Clover Club with all passion but for some damn reason, some of my friends love it and I end up there more often than I would like to (about 2-3 times). BTW, I loved Bogota, thanks for the reco.
Hmm, sounds like it. They should just suck it up and take you and your friends’ money.
“11217 – What bar in Manhattan (besides Bowery Bar) has a ginormous outdoor area where you can sit, stand, gather a group of 30 people or just hang out all Sunday afternoon and smoke cigarettes and shoot the shit?”
Bull McCabe’s, Zoom Schneider, St Dymphna’s just to name a few. My problem with Spuyten Dyuvil isn’t the large outdoor space, that’s hardly unique for a bar in Brooklyn. What is unique is though is the pretetious staff and and selection of ONLY over priced obscure Belgian beers.
For fans of Beligan beers: A friend of mine is a brewmaster for Left Hand in Colorado and he said whenever they screw up a batch of beer they just call it Belgian style.
re: clover club. I took a friend there and the first thing she said when we went in and heard the blaring brassy jazz music was, “does anyone here seriously like this music?”. Pretty much sums that place up IMO.
