"Since 1890, this unapologetically quirky institution has been serving drinks near Brooklyn's windswept Red Hook waterfront. It became Sunny's in the 1990s and has since cultivated a loyal community of people who self-identify as poets, teamsters, painters, or all of the above. Expect friendly banter among the locals and various performers who come to play live music every night except Mondays. While this isn't the place to go for an elaborate custom cocktail, the full bar serves skillfully-made Negronis, Manhattans, and other classics, as well as an array of craft and macro beers, natural wine, and non-alcoholic drinks." - Emily Saladino, Devra Ferst
