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.

Our Ten Best: Brooklyn Bars [Fork in the Road]

Thing is, infinite…It was nearly dead when we were there. It was a Monday night…
Everyone who worked there (when I was there) was rude as HELL.
Yeah, jester, same waitress was our bartender when DeLepp and I went for a night cap after Zombie Hut.
Bringing 40 people to Clover Club, that’s asking for trouble.
DH:
My friend called with the intention of doing that, but asked if it would be ok to not rent the back room, and just do regular bar, since people would be coming/going and there would never be a TON of people all at once, since the party was taking place over many hours.
Clover Club said that absolutely it would be “no problem at all.”
It ended up being such a problem that we left.
Montero’s!
Nice. I love that place. Best pool spot in Brooklyn.
CGar, yes, she was very nice that time.
🙂
11217 – did you guys pony up and rent out the back room?
I’m glad to hear you’ve had a good experience there CGAR…I’ve had a couple moderately bad ones and one TERRIBLE experience there and will not be back. The latter was a friend’s birthday party (in which she called ahead to say how many people were attending) to then be treated so poorly that the 40 of us left and went to another venue mid party. The birthday girl even attempted to talk to the manager, but they didn’t want any part of it. They were fine to lose the business and they’ve lost mine permanently (along with everyone else who attended that party, I’m sure).
I like the concept, but they’ve gotten a little too big for their britches, if you ask me.
the article is kind of ridiculous, it doesn’t give any explanation of why a given bar was chosen. seems like something written just to angry up the blogs.
