The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner

"What It Is: A Caribbean-themed cocktail bar attached to Pearl’s in Williamsburg Perfect For: Drinks and A Light Bite, First/Early-In-The-Game Dates To get to Clyde’s, you walk through Pearl’s (a Caribbean restaurant in Williamsburg) and go through the doorway with hanging beads next to the kitchen. There you’ll find a narrow bar serving Caribbean-ish cocktails, and a food menu identical to Pearl’s. We tried a few rum-based drinks and ordered some food, and the whole experience really just made us wish we were having these things in Pearl’s backyard in the middle of summer. The Verdict: The outdoor area is the real selling point of Pearl’s, and unless you’re a huge Major Lazer fan (Clyde’s is part-owned by one of the DJs), we probably wouldn’t come to Clyde’s just for the drinks." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
