Parisian-inspired bar serving martinis, oysters, and seafood towers


























"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
"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
"Styled with a Parisian-inflected sensibility that favors cocktails and shellfish, the restaurant projects a curated, atmospheric charm—part of a small group that intentionally cross-pollinates mood and presentation across its venues." - Jaya Saxena
"A neighborhood bistro serving items like escargot-stuffed mushrooms and raclette, exemplifying the contemporary brasserie trend of riffing on traditional French dishes." - 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
