Ainslie is a vibrant Williamsburg gem blending rustic charm with a lively beer garden, serving up hearty Italian comfort food and drinks in a picturesque setting.
"The Deal: $32 for 90 minutes of unlimited brunch cocktails and one entrée. Brunch drinks include mimosas, bloody marys, and spiked iced tea Just because the primary objective of a bottomless brunch is drinking with friends, that doesn’t mean your meal has to consist of watery eggs or dry pancakes. Check out Ainslie, a three-floor beer garden serving prosciutto paninis and pancakes with sides of chocolate gelato near the Lorimer L stop in Williamsburg. A couple of dishes, like the brunch pizza and steak and eggs, will cost you a little extra, but if good food is a priority, this place is worth it." - neha talreja, bryan kim

"If a party gets uncomfortably close to you here, there are plenty of other nooks to move to at this Italian wine bar and beer garden in Williamsburg. The space—converted from a warehouse—has an outdoor patio, a rooftop deck, and a ton of tables spread across multiple levels, and it's open until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays. If five more friends want to unexpectedly join you for some arancini, gnocchi pomodoro, and wood-fired pizzas, it probably won't be an issue." - kenny yang
"Your dog’s vet told you that you’re going to hit it off with her son, but all she knows about you is that you’re not great at brushing Bruno’s teeth. So you really have no idea what you’re in for. Recommend meeting at Ainslie, which has two bars inside, as well as another on the open-air rooftop. You can share very good wood-fired pizza or some spaghetti pomodoro at a table, or you can stand close to the DJ booth if you get tired of hearing about how cats are people too." - team infatuation
"Just because the night’s primary objective is drinking with friends doesn’t mean dinner has to consist of dry buffalo wings or dollar slices. Check out Ainslie, a three-floor beer garden serving pizzas, housemade pasta, and bar food in Williamsburg. Share a burger topped with prosciutto and a pizza with pancetta, or opt for the multi-course family-style dinner. Once you're done eating, get some drinks at one of the bars while a DJ plays until close." - team infatuation
