"Bernie's feels like the kind of place where everyone should know your name. Unfortunately this Greenpoint restaurant stays pretty busy, so the staff here can't possibly remember the name of every person they encounter. If you haven't been yet, come for a burger at the bar, or eat some mozzarella sticks and baby back ribs in a booth with your friends. Bernie's is pretty much a better, alternate-universe version of TGI Fridays, and you should make regular appearances in the dim, tavern-like space." - team infatuation
