Natural wine bar with steak frites, craft cocktails, and live music
"At Liar Liar, a bottle of red and a plate of steak frites will run you $69, and a fried chicken sandwich plus a glass of bubbles is $25. Don’t do the math, just take our word for it—in the world of $100 steaks and $26 glasses of wine, those are some excellent deals. But even if you just need a glass or two of wine in Gowanus before or after dinner elsewhere, this spot from the team behind Bed-Stuy’s Bad Luck Bar is a great choice, with a long bar and snug booths perfect for knocking knees with someone under the table." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
"With the exception of successful nightclub Public Records, Gowanus hasn’t crescendoed with a nightlife scene. But perhaps a new natural wine bar can help that reputation some. Liar Liar opened recently in a space that has been several restaurants over the years. Now, it’s an effortless, natural wine bar that also serves food. It comes from Mateo Simo, who owns Bad Luck Bar in Bed-Stuy; Gabi Gimson, who worked for natural wine importer, Steven Graf Imports; Andrew Goss, a DJ; and bartender Reed Yarber. There’s also an affordable steak frites on the menu." - Emma Orlow
"At Liar Liar in Gowanus, a bottle of red and a plate of ultra-saucy steak frites will run you $69, and a juicy fried chicken sandwich drenched in sweet-and-sour sauce plus a glass of bubbles is $25. Don’t do the math, just take our word for it—in the world of $100 steaks and $26 glasses of wine, those are some excellent deals." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"A natural-wine bar with small bites opened with partners who include a neighborhood bar owner, a former natural-wine importer employee, a DJ, and a bartender; the team highlights accessibility and community focus, offering a daily happy-hour bottle promotion with select bottles priced at $30 to encourage regular neighborhood patronage." - Emma Orlow

And if you end up drinking more Croatian orange wine than you thought possible, get that plate of fries, or even better, the chicken sandwich. The juicy fried thigh meat is drenched in sweet-and-sour sauce, and topped with cole slaw and pickled red onions. Or get the steak frites in an extra-peppery au poivre, which you could share with the person whose knee you’re knocking." - Willa Moore
