"There’s no shortage of cool-looking cocktail bars in Williamsburg that work for dates, but most of them get packed by around 9pm. That’s why you should know about Bar Beau. Even though this spot makes great drinks and plays music that’ll be stuck in your head all night, it never gets too crowded. Drink something delicious made with cachaca and smoked cedar at the long marble bar, or sit at one of the many tables and share some natural wine and scallop corn fritters." - Matt Tervooren
