Capri Social Club

"When you walk into Capri Social Club, you’ll feel like you’re in Kansas City in 1978. This is a plain, old bar with relatively cheap drinks and a jukebox, and it's a certified classic. If you just want beer or well whiskey, come here. There's room for groups, and there are usually jello shots available." - Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang, Willa Moore

"If you think you’re too good for jello-shots and $3 PBRs aat dive bars, we’d kindly invite you to grow up. Sure, you might not meet your forever person while tipping back alcoholic gelatin at this slightly-retro-feeling Greenpoint spot. But you might meet a 28-year-old product designer who can do a half-decent Joe Pesci impression. Buy a beer and a shot here and find out." - hannah albertine, nikko duren

"Capri Social Club has been open for decades, and it looks like someplace you’d grab a drink after work in the 1950s. So you can bet that the bartenders here have seen their share of breakups, and won’t stop making drinks once your ex-significant other stands up and says, “I can’t believe you’re doing this in a bar. Who told you this was a good idea?” Plus, this Greenpoint spot has jello shots, so it’s really just a winner all around." - bryan kim

"“You can go to Capri Social Club in Greenpoint and get one of their incredible Jell-O shots,” says Schramm. “I really respect it, but what we’re doing is totally different and our own recipes.”" - Emma Orlow
