Nestled under the Williamsburg Bridge, Deux Chats effortlessly blends a charming Belle Époque vibe with tempting seafood dishes and crafted cocktails, making it an alluring destination for intimate gatherings or casual date nights.
"Under the Williamsburg bridge, Deux Chats is a little less sceney than its sister bars (Le Dive and The Nines), and it works well for a casual date night when you want to share some small plates and sip on one (or three) martinis. The menu is seafood heavy, so start with raw oysters—or go all out with the seafood plateau—and then move on to escargot, or a lobster roll." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"Le Dive and Deux Chats sling escargot-stuffed mushrooms and raclette." - Jaya Saxena
"Perhaps the most swoon-worthy option on this list, Deux Chats is a new bar from hitmaker Jon Neidich, of other date-night bars like Le Dive and the Nines. This Williamsburg newcomer is slightly less sceney than its siblings, and is an ideal spot for a date that feels a bit more special and mature. Sharing seafood towers and “kinky martinis,” their cheap-trick-named, but delicious version served with a kick of chile liqueur." - Emma Orlow
"After a super social July, it’s time to pare down your social engagements and focus on your one-on-one relationships. This doesn’t necessarily just mean your romantic ones—though it can—but also those with your close friends, family, or even co-workers. Plan a night out at Deux Chats. Located under the Williamsburg Bridge, this Belle Époque-themed spot is perfect for an intimate get-together when you want to share some small plates or a giant seafood platter. " - neha talreja
"Deux Chats is from the team behind Le Dive and The Nines, two downtown bars where you’ll meet people who provide fashion advice to their 100 or so TikTok followers. Located under the Williamsburg Bridge, this Belle Époque-themed spot is a little less sceney than those other bars, and it’s perfect for a casual date night when you want to share some small plates. The bright, vaulted space is filled with distressed mirrors and ornate light fixtures, and the menu consists of interesting cocktails and a few fantastic seafood dishes. Try a Kinky Martini (slightly spicy, made with vodka), then eat some chilled sardines and a couple slices of salmon crudo so thick they qualify as filets. Or, if you want to make people stare at you, get a big seafood plateau." - Bryan Kim
