"Blinky’s has a backyard crawling with ivy, regularly scheduled DJ sets, and a sassy drink menu with high school yearbook superlatives listed below each cocktail. Whether you identify with the passionfruit daiquiri “Biggest Flirt,” blue cosmopolitan “Class Clown,” or neither because you believe superlatives are limiting, come here with a few friends and sit in the backyard while you discuss who Blinky might be. (The answer is the owner’s cat.) We’ve noticed things start to get busy around 8pm on weeknights, so plan accordingly." - bryan kim, kenny yang, nikko duren, matt tervooren, will hartman

"There’s a new bar in Williamsburg with a self-proclaimed massive backyard that looks like the kind of place where we’d like to sit for four uninterrupted hours on any given Saturday. They’re hosting a comedy show this Thursday, August 18th starting at 8pm (make sure to DM them on Instagram for a reservation). Blinky’s mostly focuses on cocktails, including a rotating frozen drink that’s described on the menu as “who knows? j/k, your bartender will tell you.”" - hannah albertine
"Blinkys looks like a bar straight out of San Junipero, where it’s the 80’s all year round. Their Aurora spicy margarita made with hot sauce and agave is one of the best no-frills options in Williamsburg, so they’re a natural addition to the Con. Keep an eye on their Insta for regular events like trivia nights, comedy shows, and watch parties for reality TV finales." - Stephen Rubino
