"Pony Boy feels very much like something you’d find on the Lower East Side - but it’s in Greenpoint, which means you won’t have to stand in a line full of children with fake IDs in order to get in. This bar still gets busy, and there’s occasionally a line snaking down the stairs to the bathroom - but just go to the bathroom before you get here, and spend the majority of your time in the big back room. There’s a dance floor in the middle surrounded by velvet booths, and it’s sort of like a gladiator arena, but with dancing instead of fighting. This is your single best option for a late night out in Greenpoint, and it also works for a date as long as you get here before 11pm, when this place is more of a casual cocktail bar." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, matt tervooren
