MIDNIGHTS

Easily my favorite bar in the neighborhood. The lighting is nice. The vibe is good. The music is usually good on both floors. There's usually a DJ in the basement during the weekend and after 11pm it can get pretty crazy down there. During the summer the backyard patio is big enough to sit with friends and have some drinks and listen to be music and still be able to hold a conversation. However, what really stands out about this place to me is the service. The bartenders Cali and Audra both have great vibes and great service to add to the atmosphere of this place.

Came here once for late night drinks and once for cocktails earlier in the night. The bartenders are super friendly and talented, prices are fair for the area and quality. Music, decor and overall atmosphere is great. Highly recommend for a date or place to catch up with friends. I would assume the food is as good as the drinks.

The drinks were great! The bartenders attitude was terrible! Wanted to go alone for 1 drink for the New Year. My partner came to get me and I just ordered my drink. I asked for a to go cup; which is still VERY legal and was told no. That's fine. I just wanted to know the name of the bar so my SO could pick me up from the place, and he was straight up ignoring me. I don't know if it's a race thing, or if my presence just annoyed him, but I've never experienced such a bad attitude from a bartender I was actually pretty shocked. I tip well. I'm very polite. I was coming from work so I understood. But there's never an excuse for being that rude to someone that you can't even give me the name of the club. The security that worked last nights shift was awesome though!

I had a chance to meet someone for drinks for the first time at Midnights during the week. We decided to go on a Wednesday around 8:30 PM. When we walked in there weren't that many people sitting inside but the entire backyard space was completely full! Given this was summer that was totally understandable. I'd say if you want to snag a set of seats in the back come a little earlier in the evening. The inside has a standard bar and booths throughout the space. They has a good selection of specialty cocktails and also were able to make a lot of other typical drinks on request as well. As it got later in the night the bar became more crowded and by the time we left it felt like it was a weekend night! This is definitely a good date spot given the dim lighting and music selection. It's conveniently located on Bedford Avenue and close to the L train subway stop too!

Bartender was just flirting with his coworker the whole time. Overcharged me a dollar each cash transaction. When I asked "aren't the margaritas only 12 on happy hour" he just said "they are"... so why take my dollar? I don't mind paying a few dollars at all if thays the price given, but if you're skimming off the pot then why take my money? Drinks were okay. They ran out of truffle chips so offered me different chips at the same price. There's just ppl in here taking flash pics of the cute drinks 😞 patio closed. Disappointed as hell.

Such a fun atmosphere! I want to come back. I originally came for a friends birthday in June and had an amazing time. The DJ was so good. The crowd was dancing which was nice and decently diverse. Definitely would recommend to a friend for a night out.

Great service! Nice chill place. At night it’s a happening stop and get packed. People just kept coming in. Good drinks and great happy hour. Will be going back.

Drinks were fine. Main bartender that was by herself a lot of the time was slow to acknowledge us. Cute place tho.

I stopped by at an Elite Event around the corner that had no seating and needed a place to decompress. So I allowed Google Maps to guide me to this romantic oasis on the rainy early December night that I stopped in (12/6/22) It may have been cold outside, but it was warm and inviting inside. The interior is dark and, in my opinion, perfect for a date night. Great music, attentive but not overbearing waitstaff and a great selection of drinks and small plates. Like I said, it was cold outside and the Hot Toddy was one of the best I've had this season. I will definitely be back with my date or just for a night out with friends.

I want to give this place 5 stars but the DJ last night claimed she didn't know "Follow Me," a house song and "Loyal" by Chris Brown. Now girl... But the basement dance floor, overall vibes and solid music upstairs make this an automatic place to return for me.

I came here a few weeks ago on a date on a random Monday evening, and it was pretty quiet which was nice. It's a dimly lit bar with comfortable plush seating, and a nicely appointed bar. Apparently, the downstairs area has a DJ on the weekends, and is known for being fun, so perhaps I'll check it out sometime. The cocktail menu was good and had variety to it and our drinks came out pretty quickly. The bartender was friendly and took our drink orders quickly, which was nice. I would definitely come back here again!

Was I surprised at how packed the bar was on a Wednesday night? Did I manage to find a seat at the bar anyway? Did I imbibe in many a gin cocktail without shuddering at sticker shock even though Midnights is right off the Bedford Avenue stop in Williamsburg? (Helloooooo cocktails under $15!) Midnights is a cozy, intimate, and candlelit bar that should probably be one of your first stops of the night instead of your last. I don't even want to think about what this place looks like on a weekend night, though caveat: I stopped by on a night when the outdoor area was closed so that everyone had to stay inside. I did feel like the bartenders were a little inattentive, even though we were sitting right at the bar, but I guess you can't win them all? Definitely a very vibey place through and through.

While barhopping in Williamsburg, we made our final stop here. The vibes are good with seating indoors and outdoors. The cocktails are very affordable here being under $15. I ordered the Drunk Love ($14) and a friend ordered the Lime All The Time ($14). I enjoyed her drink more, especially the chili salt. Good spot for some late night drinks. They also have happy hour from 4-6:30pm on weekdays with $2 off everything.

Nice cozy bar with affordable and tasty cocktails! They average $15. Pro tip, there is a downstairs bar as well so if you can't find seating or its too crowded, you're welcome. I've been here twice now with friends and it has never disappointed.

Intimate and cute spot that also has a rear garden patio. We were just in time for the $2 off all cocktails, happy hour special, which is M-F 4p-6:30p. There were only a couple of snack items and one was a pretzel which they didn't have. Overall service was good. I only found out after my visit that the Pasadena Room is their downstairs dance space. My/our delicious tongue clicking sips for the evening: DRUNK LOVE myers jamaican rum, denizen 5-year rum, overproof rum, oj pineapple, grenadine, lime, angostura bitters EL TOPO cathedral mezcal, caribbean pineapple, alma tepec, agave, lime ENERGIZER JENNIE vodka, coffee liquor, eleva espresso OLD FASHIONED Mmmm... Bon Appetit! Cheers! Enjoy!

"After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout" (J. J. Cale) Here's what you need to know if you're ever invited to a private party at Midnights: 1) Wend your way through the densely populated bar and head to the back left corner of the bar. 2) Look for the sign for the restroom and follow it to an impossibly steep staircase to the basement. 3) Here you'll see a private room that accommodated our party of 50 or so family and friends. 4) Look for the jolly bearded bartender named Alfredo who was fantastic. 5) Enjoy Midnight's drinks, music, and atmosphere as much as we did!

Came here to meet with a friend for a few drinks to catch up. Pretty chill spot right off the Bedford Ave stop. They have an outdoor area in the back which is really nice during the nice weather. Still had to go the the bar to order drinks inside and then bring them out myself, but overall it's a good spot. Staff members are friendly.

Great outdoor patio, small but nice ambiance. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends! Drinks are good but can take a while to order at peak times, it seems they are pretty short staffed. Went for their twist of the espresso martini, had absolutely no regrets! It's not cheap by any means but not terrible by Williamsburg standards.

Thanks to the NYC Tippler, I've been able to discover new places and create a list of "Go-To's". Midnights has made that list. The first cocktail I tried was the Lime All The Time and it's definitely a fav. Made with Hornitos Tequila, Mezcal, Lime, Pomegranate flavor, and a new fav (Chili Salt); this drink is delicious. The Chili Salt really adds a bold flavor to the drink and I couldn't imagine having this cocktail without it. The other cocktail I tried was the Drunk Love (crafted with Myers Jamaican Rum, Denizen 5 Year Rum, Overproof Rum, Grenadine, Lime, OJ Pineapple, and Angostura Bitters); not a bad drink. Out of the two, the drink that won me over was the Lime All The Time. As for food, I've only tried the Truffle Steak Fries. They were pretty good. I ordered them to go along with the Happy Hour glass of Pinot Grigio. They were good (not the best, but good). The ambiance is a bit intimate and chill. In the evening, you can expect dim lights and candles. They have plenty of seats by the bar and also booths available that are perfect for groups or a little privacy for date night. In terms of service, nothing really stood out for me. It was a typical experience. If you're in the area I would suggest stopping by. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday starting at 2 PM until 6:30 PM.

If I could give zero stars I would. I don't leave YELP reviews but as a woman I feel like I have to. I asked the FEMALE bartender for a glass of water. She denied me and suggested I go to the back of the club for a glass. Luckily I was of sound mind where I didn't NEED it. But I addressed the situation and she said "I don't tell you how to do your office job, don't tell me how to run my bar" ... if a female bartender is refusing water.... Psychotic. Leave immediately.

Funny bartender who made us top notch cocktails. Say at the bar, great ambiance. It was busy on an early Saturday evening. Cute place close to the Bedford L stop.

Really liked the ambiance in this bar. It is busy but it's intimate upbeat cocktail bar. The drinks could have been better but id come back for the ambiance and music.

Fire your manager... i came in for 2 drinks and they kicked me out... your manager with glasses (girl) is hurting your business... racist and unethical... fire her, that's why this place stays in Brooklyn (L) cuz your service is not even a 1 star... fire your girl manager with glasses and you should have better business

The espresso martinis are great! It's such a cute vibe, would recommend going earlier in the evening on Saturdays so you can have a cozy seat. The service was good too, the bartenders are very attentive. Very cute for a date night.

Bartender so inattentive, the bar back had ro ask this guy to serve me and and he ignored me after that, not coming to this pace again

Midnights had been on my list to scope out for years, and I finally made it there for a nightcap the other day. We walked through the seductive bar, which was perfect for a date, and were able to grab a table in their intimate backyard. Table service did not seem to be available back there, so we went inside to grab our drinks from the bar. The "Spritz" Me Please immediately grabbed my attention, as I am a huge fan of spritzes. Their version traded the Aperol for St. Agrestis Amaro, which was a bit more bitter, but not quite as herbaceous as Campari or Contratto. The St. Agrestis with the prosecco, club soda, and orange peel actually made a delightful cocktail that I was perfectly suited for sipping out in the garden. From the drinks to the ambiance of the backyard, Midnights really new how to create a mood!

I stopped in here on a rainy week night looking for a warm cocktail and was not disappointed. The Hot Toddy, the only hot drink available, was one of the best I've had in a while, and you have the choice of Bourbon or Rum. I chose rum. The food menu was limited to empanadas (mushroom, beef, and chicken), but unfortunately, they were out. The bartender was kind enough to let us know we could bring in outside food, which we did. The drink menu was extensive with cocktails, beer, wines, etc. I tried the Drunk Love as well, and what there was of it was excellent! Unfortunately, as you can see from my pictures, the glass was filled with more ice than cocktail (even though it was rainy and cold outside. I would probably go back because the drinks WERE really well made, and the staff was extremely friendly, but I'll definitely request less ice.

After walking around we figured come back here & give it another try. First we sat outside but it was too hot & asked about coming inside , we asked because we had My friends fur baby w us , she's small not sure if that made a difference? But the guy was like sure no problem! We sat inside & ordered some drinks , had the Table dance , u know what it was great very nice taste , only complain would be that it comes in a bigger cup. This place is cute, nice vibe & decent drinks we certainly had a few & enjoyed our time here.

What a vibe!!! A huge shoutout to the playlist. The music is what got my attention and pulled me in. A very small spot but small in a good way. The vibe was almost trendy without the restraints and the cute patio in the back was the cherry on top. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 was because the bartender made my drink wrong. The drink was good but I noticed her doing a million other things besides making my drink right . Like...Taking a shot and making her friend a drink.

Very classy cocktail space to meetup after work. Chilled cool bartender. Very much recommend it.

Fun bar with lively music. Two floors with one that's more dancy and a second one with booths and lounge. It's extremely loud so hard to have conversation but a fun vibe.

Wasn't drinking so it was nice to see a place with a non-alcoholic beverage - the phone negroni is pretty cool considering there's no alcohol (a tad sweet) and definitely seemed to not be made in house and came from a bottle. The other medical drinks that were ordered with my party were good tho! Everything seemed to look eerily similar tho but good The patio in the back is nice and there's a small table outside in the front, and much quieter than the inside seating. So there's something for everyone!

If you're looking for the classic "I've lived in Williamsburg for 6 months and I'm better than you" vibe - than this place is perfect for you. 2 stars instead of 1 because the drinks were decent. Unfortunately, the bartender's drinks were much better than his personality. It's like he found a buzzfeed article on how to be a pretentious hipster and absorbed every word. Any interaction we had with him resulted in a condescending response, under-the-breath insults, and a general sh*tty attitude. So overall, if you ever are in the mood to be patronized - hit up my boy at Midnights! And to whoever owns this bar - tasty cocktails can only take you so far in an echochamber of snobs and dissatisfied patrons. Best of luck.

Hands down the best new restaurant in Williamsburg. Completely unpretentious and warm environment with a vibey aesthetic. Highly recommend! Food and drinks are amaze here.

I love coming here, the drinks and the vibe are curated perfectly. It's always candlelit here and the music is perfect (r&b, afrobeats, top 40) and intimate but you can definitely come here with friends and have a great time, or by yourself and sir at the bar and get to know the bartenders, they are all amazing! Tonight I had Alfredo and he was such a beast, we all loved him! Thank you so much Alfredo! (If he ever reads this) I got the Drunk Love drink, it's amazing. Always love coming here!

Great bar and service! drinks are delicious and affordable and the vibes are lovely. Great place to meet up with friends and grab a drink before or after dinner. May be a little too boisterous for a first date or something intimate though.

terrible service. like woeful. it was slow and not dependent on demand. on top of that being asked to leave because you're stretching your back and not because you've actually been overserved is wild as well, but I guess it's 2024 and they need the drama.

Went here on a date and we were craving oysters. Turns out , they aren't serving food anymore. Bartender said the kitchen is being turned into another area for cocktails. I'd wish they'd update that on the description here on Yelp. Drinks were good though. They had a DJ as it was a Saturday night and the music was too loud for a conversation. Decor is dark and intimate

Found this spot while strolling looking for a cool vibe for some drinks. Covid protocols were seriously taken, service was friendly and the back yard was nice. The menu was scannable and every time you wanted to order you had to rescan and repay (this became a little annoying). The vibe of the bar is nice, music blasting to old school hip hop and R&B, everyone chatting and having a good time. drinks were priced reasonably to high and the selections were plenty. The backyard was the move, well spaced out, well lit and good volume for music.

We stopped by Midnights to have a few drinks before a reservation at a nearby restaurant. Overall, I think the three of us had a pretty nice experience at Midnights. The bar has a nice mix of speciality cocktails and a few draft beers. For our visit, I went with the Private Dancer (vodka, guava, watermelon Red Bull) and the Eastside Spritz (amaro, Prosecco, and club soda). I went with the Private Dancer as a throwback to the mid-00s. . . You know, when folks were putting Red Bull into almost every single cocktail. Since the Private Dancer is a frozen drink, it was very refreshing to throw back a few of these on a very hot day. I'll admit that I did not really care for the spritz because it really did not taste like anything. Perhaps, the club soda diluted the Prosecco too much. I'd recommend just going with a glass of Prosecco instead. The two bartenders were pretty nice and friendly, the bar had a nice low key vibe to it, and the drinks were reasonably priced.. I'd definitely visit Midnights again if I am in the W'burg area. Also . . . the bar is really close to the Bedford Stop (L Train), which make the bar even better.

Went Thursday 5pm and there was no happy hour, but drinks are v reasonably priced. Got the spring buzzies and elderflower flavor is prominent. I'm all for them not having plastic straws, hopefully they get some metal ones since my glass was full of crushed ice. They have a cute outside patio in the back!

If I could give 0 stats I would. Bouncer decided that it was not a picture of me in my I.D, I tried to show other forms of I.D, but he didn't even look. When I attempted to explain further, I was dismissed because I was "ruining his night" and "he did not want to talk to me'"

I came to Midnights with 3 of my friends last night and the service and food was beyond EXCELLENT. The atmosphere is very cozy and nice. The sous chef named Mike (yes it was that good we asked for his name) sent out ricotta gnocchi and Thai curry mussels as our starters. Generally i do not like seafood nor do i even like mussels but WOW the Thai curry mussels were extremely good and didn't have that weird seafood taste i don't like. As our entree we all had the burger and it was cooked medium and it tasted juicy and perfect. We also had truffle fries that tasted just as great as they sound With the right amount of salt and Parmesan. Lastly for desert we had the midnight glacier which consists of a brownie and gelato on top. The brownie was warm and fresh and just melted in your mouth along with the gelato. I had a great experience at midnights would definitely go back for the food.

I'm a huge fan of 1) the vibe of this place, 2) the fact that Monday happy hour is ALL DAY (picture Schmidt from New Girl here, please), 3) the fries, but especially the salt and vinegar fries, and 4) the amazing service from every single employee, even the ones that weren't our waitress. I'm not a big fan of the general prices, but happy hour helps and definitely won't break the bank if you grab a couple drinks and snack on their appetizers. They even had a burger, beer and shot special on Monday for $17. Cool if you're into shots and burgers. They had lots of unique and *~trendy~* appetizers, like brussels sprouts, beet and ricotta hummus, cauliflower tacos, vegetarian calamari... you get my drift. But also delicious sounding main dishes, like Thai red curry mussels, steak options, burgers, mushroom ravioli, etc. There's a solid selection for every type of person in your group -- meat lovers to vegetarians, you're covered. This is an awesome place for a date with a partner, date with a group of friends, or date with your family, even. There's also an outside area that I haven't been to yet (because, cold weather) but I will soon enough.

What would life be like if every hour was happy hour? Would the populace be a little happier, richer, a little bit more under the influence? Come to Midnights and you'll get a sampling. Outside of Happy Hour, all cocktails are under $12 and draft beers, $8. Aside from their regularly scheduled programming of already cheap prices, they do also have a Happy Hour (M-F 2-6:30 PM)-- $2 off cocktails and $1.50 oysters! With prices like these, you might anticipate the tenacious stick of a dive bar, but Midnights is actually an intimate candle-lit, yet unpretentious cocktail oasis. I came on a Friday night and naturally, so did other Williamsburg residents. My group of 4 had to hover around to secure seating; however, if you are open to braving the cold, they have a nice backyard set-up. Our party ordered 2 LIME ALL THE TIMEs ($11)-- a smokier twist on a margarita, with Mezcal, Tequila and pomegranate, decorated with a chili salt rim. 2 DRUNK LOVEs ($12) were also ordered-- a little paradise of rum, orange juice, pineapple and lime. Both concoctions were strong, but refreshing and tasty. I definitely need to come back and sip on some of their other affordable cocktails, to the accompaniment of their R&B, soul, & funk set list!

It was a cold Friday when I arrived at Mid Nights around 8pm. From the outside?, you would think it is a dive bar. The was a heavy drape past the entry door and it opened up to a modern updated restaurant on the inside. It was at capacity and the DJ was playing some good mood music. The 1st guy who approached us asked if we had a reservation, in which we did. He then isappeared for about 10 mins. It was fine for us because the 2nd guy who was our waiter ( I forgot his name, I think it was Nick) who was a really nice guy created seating for us and Sat us down. It was a little chilly inside but not unbearable. It was the effect of the opening of the front door that keeps the place cooler in the front. We ordered 2 of the cocktails on the menu. One was the waisted white girl drink and the other which was pure alcohol, The Justin Bieber drink. Both were quite good! We started off with the vegetarian calamari which was actually heart of palm. It looked like Calamari!!! We ordered the Hanger Steak skewers with fingering potatoes with a slightly sweet chmichurri sauce that was so delicious. I also ordered the Tuna tartare tostada which had that special feel of crunchy and soft at the same time. I enjoyed it. Between the music and our server, it was a nice surprise. As I said, outside doesn't look like much, but inside is fantastic in all ways. This is a great neighborhood spot and gem while offering some creative vegetarian options as well.

One of my favorite drop in cocktail bars. The ambiance is always super chill, and not remotely pretentious. I can always guarantee that I am gonna have a great cocktail experience. The bartenders are lovely, and super knowledgeable. They will give you recommendations if you can't decide what you like. This has become one of my frequent spots and it's usually an before/after dinner spot

I had a perfect birthday brunch thanks to Midnights, despite all odds. We arrived half an hour late and we were extremely indecisive about food and drinks. One of us even changed his order after our waitress left for the kitchen. We also bothered our waitress to take photos of our reunion, which she happily obliged. Needless to say, the service here is outstanding. Pulled pork benedict - These are super indulgent and a modern take on classic eggs benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached and covered with a chipotle hollandaise. The slow roasted pork shoulder fell apart under my fork, and it was so juicy and tender. Truffle steak fries - I'm a huge fan of truffle anything, and these fries were bomb. They were fresh out of the fryer, so hot to the touch, and they came with grated parmesan. We ordered two sides of this and they were the first things gone from the table. Avocado toast - This dish was a bit disappointing since my friends' poached egg was more well-done compared with our egg benedicts. The bread was also ridiculously hard to saw through so my friend just started picking it up and eating it with his hands. They have a picturesque backyard outdoor seating, which was fantastic for a sunny Saturday brunch.

Super cute place and the drinks were actually not too too terribly priced. I would definitely go back to this bar and the upstairs is a fun section but there is also a bar and area downstairs if it's getting too crowded

BEWARE!!! THEY CHARGE A 3.99% CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEE. This charge is on top of sales tax. For example, our food and drink total was $383, the sales tax was $33.02 and the CC Processing fee was incurred on the $417 total. They now disclose this charge on the bill ONLY because of a new law in 2019 stating they they have to. Also the note at the bottom of the check is misleading, merchants are not forced to charge this fee, they elect to do so. Came here Saturday for a friends birthday and was underwhelmed. I had to cauliflower tacos, a Dolly's Crush and a Salma Hayek. Everything was fine, nothing special.

I have been coming here for quite some time! Well since they first opened lol and have never been disappointed. The cocktails are amazing and the staff is super attentive! The vibe is great and the music is always on point.

This is your quintessential local pub - ok "gastropub" if you will. You're more likely than not to find one of the convivial owners behind the bar, and it's easy to while away a few hours (or just that one drink after work) hanging out there. It reminds me of the Williamsburg that I used to live in, with friendly local establishments, now long gone. Or, I should say, *mostly* long gone - this one nicely recovers the mood... Note: The "gastro"pub part isn't accidental, the food is really quite excellent too!

When I consider my thoughts on new food spots, the first thing I ask myself is "Would I go out of my way to come here again?" With Midnights, the answer is a resounding "YES" If you're lucky enough to visit Midnights during Happy Hour, you'll have really hit the jackpot. Happy Hour is Tuesday - Friday 4:30 to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday 4:30 - 6:30pm (Food only). When we sauntered into Midnights for an early dinner around 5 on a Sunday, we were pleasantly surprised to see plentiful seating AND a happy hour menu! The ambiance is sleek but comfortable, cozy yet refined. You have mirrored walls and dim lighting on one wall and large TV broadcasting news and sports behind the bar. It's classy mixed with a casual, local vibe. Among our group we ordered truffled steak fries, butternut squash risotto with pan seared scallops, Thai red curry mussels, and ricotta gnocchi - all I can say is "yum." Everything came to the table fresh, hot, and in a very timely manner. The scallops in the risotto may have been the best I've ever had; the gnocchi was light, perfectly flavored, perfectly cooked cloud from heaven; and I would have sipped a glass of the Thai red curry sauce if it was socially acceptable. Everything we tasted was superb, fresh, and beautifully plated. Our water glasses never half-empty - literally and philosophically. Whether you're looking for an after work draft with the bros or a sexy date night meal, Midnights can flawlessly provide both. It's sexy, classy, and most importantly - tasty! I'd say it's definitely a Happy Hour steal.

Cocktails were pretty good. If you go, definitely checkout the back terrace. I was there at night and it had a great vibe and atmosphere.

The chef here is a genius! Vegetarian calamari made from hearts of palm will melt your heart at first bite. Try the vegetarian gnocchi with mushrooms- such an earthy pasta that was cooked to perfection. Brownies and the date cake were also a solid dessert choice. Every cocktail on the menu was divine- ranging from hot to cold options. During the winter they open up the back winter chalet that has a ski resort vibe. Benches with blankets and space heaters to cozy up on. This space was great for our party of 12 but did get a little cold. Areas to improve- in the winter chalet, having a space heater on the floor should prevent the feet from getting so cold. Also our server was a little slow and hard to be found on a night that did not seem very busy.

Review during Covid! Came here last night with my boyfriend for dinner. It was a slow night, it was only us and two small groups in the backyard. That actually worked out pretty well, it wasn't crowded and we felt more comfortable. The backyard is very nice, with lots of plants, illuminated by lights hanging on a string. They weren't serving food last night, only Empanadas (1 for 5$, 3 for 12$). So we had: - Lime all the time: refreshing cocktail, good mix of Mezcal and citrus - Marlon Brando: this frozen drink is the bomb! The pineapple reminded me a little of a piña colada, but the Mezcal and lime cut the sweetness in the best way. Perfect summer cocktail! - beef, peas and peppers empanada - mushrooms and cheese empanada Pros: - the music is great! Just the perfect hip-hop mix, great vibes. We talked to our waitress for a bit and discovered that it's her Playlist! - service is great, you really feel relaxed and taken care of - cocktails are cheap and taste great - drinks come with popcorn! I know it's Cuomo's rule, but fresh popcorn is a nice touch compared to the usual chips - backyard is super cute and social distancing is enforced - our waitress brought us tequila shots with our check, which was really sweet of her. Cons: only one, the fact that they weren't serving food apart from the Empanadas, which are on the small side. I got there expecting to have dinner, and without more substantial food I got pretty drunk!

As a native the one thing about Williamsburg is the nightlife. So two friends and I met up at Midnights for some drinks and laughs. We sat on stools near the bar and door and was enjoying ourselves when the security guard told us we were being rowdy and to bring it down. We were shocked not because of someone doing their job, but because we were far from what he was saying. We had just started the night, we might have had two sips on our drinks, and we were sitting to ourselves. Further, the place was loud and pretty packed. He chose to single us out, and flex on the first group of people he could. It was unprofessional and un acceptable. I truly hope management addresses their employee.
