"A great, unpretentious local bar, around since 1999." - Millicent Souris
"Pete’s Candy Store is as classic a dive as you’ll find anywhere in New York, but it’s also a performance space, where comedians, musicians, sketch groups, and everything in between find a place on their vaudeville-esque stage. Because of that, it’s never a bad idea to head to Pete’s—there’s always something going on. And on the off-chance that there isn’t an event, they have a nice backyard, cheap Miller High Lifes, and a surprisingly good grilled cheese." - bryan kim, kenny yang, nikko duren, matt tervooren, will hartman
"The space that is now Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg used to be a general store, a diner, and a place to play poker before it became a spot for live music in 1999. Shows are free, though there’s a suggested $10 donation, which seems pretty fair considering none of their cocktails cost more than $14. If you need a break from the music, there’s a large backyard where you can reminisce about a time when $14 was considered expensive for a cocktail." - will hartman, neha talreja, kenny yang, nikko duren, molly fitzpatrick
"The space that is now Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg used to be a general store, a diner, and a place to play poker before it became a spot for live music in 1999. Shows are free (although there is a suggested $10 donation), and they happen in a saloon-like room on an old-timey stage that looks like its made for vaudeville shows. If you need a break from the music, there’s a large backyard to hang out in." - Neha Talreja
"Astronomy on Tap, a group of astronomy fanatics, will meet in-person again for the first time in two years at the beloved Pete’s Candy Store in Greenpoint." - Bao Ong
