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.

“I’m glad that obnoxious, overly hyped “Cover Club” on Smith Street isn’t on the list.”
It’s a runner up. I agree with you though…loved it when it first opened, now…not so much. It’s the service which is the problem. People are RUDE there.
Franklin Park made the runner up list, which is cool. I love that place.
Brooklyn Social is douchebag central!
Angry Wades and PJ Hanleys are much better alternatives in the area!!!
Ask a specific question, get a specific answer…
It’s too narrow by the bar…
Hmm, never noticed.
the bathroom is always smelly…
I’m male and the men’s room smells like bleach and ice IMO.
the bands are sometimes decent but never exceeding decent…
The bands blow unless you’re blind drunk. then they are ok. The spoken word events attract 15 people but I enjoy myself.
the service is OK and sometimes less than OK…
There’s one bartender who sucks, the others are all ideal.
I’m tired of those video montage thingies…
I was there for comedy night and actually thought, “I’ve seen this one before.” Nevertheless it is trippy and adds a nice gestalt effect of this-place-is-weird.
and the people can be a little bland (ouch sorry).
Douche central, at peak hours of 10-1. Other times, a lovely mix.
Ultimately anyway, the best bar is the one down the street from you – your local. Go there and spend some money!

Frightening that I’ve been to nearly half the top 10 and runners-up in the last 6 months alone.
Everyone else’s top 10?
Botanica in Red Hook is great though.
(sadly) I have been to each on the list minus Brighton Beach. only one here that makes me all rolley eyed is the bklyn social. YAWN CITY.
Yeah, Freddy’s is great. The Brooklyn Inn is great. The Brooklyn Social is always over-crowded frat boy type place. I’ve been to a couple of the others, but no opinion really.
I’m glad that obnoxious, overly hyped “Cover Club” on Smith Street isn’t on the list.
