Where To Day Drink In Winter - New York - The Infatuation
"The Levee isn’t a pretty bar. It’s just a Williamsburg dive that has board games, pinball, and a pool table. When you’re day drinking, you need stuff like that to distract yourself from the fact that you’re not reading a book or doing your taxes. The drinks are also super-cheap here, and they give you free cheese puffs. And the only thing that tastes better than free cheese puffs is, um, actually most things. But, at the same time, most things aren’t free." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"What’s better than free popcorn? Free cheeseballs. The Cheeto Puff-style snacks available at this Southern-themed dive in Williamsburg, which thankfully refuses to alter its formula, combat a serious case of the munchies. Follow them up by paying for the Texas-authentic Frito Pie while taking in the aggressive hard rock music." - Paul Schrodt
Good drinks cheap. A friend calls it a dive bar, but I call it a cool place to hang with friends or alone. It's not super loud, so you can hold a conversation, at the bar, in a booth, at the pool table, playing darts or a board game. Chill.

What an amazing experience loved it so much what an amazing end to our trip in New York , going back to Ireland, the waitresses where do friendly and quick to serve us and the music was perfectly nostalgic. Amazing vibe and would highly recommend to anyone unless of course you'd want to just eat your dinner in peace and quiet because this place is jumping (Which we loved). Also we heard Don McLean used to love this bar so that actually pushes it closer to a 6 star🤣. (Drove my Chevy to the LEVEE🤣) HIGHLY recommend and well done to the owner for creating an amazing atmosphere and vibe to the place well well done. Seriously best bar I have ever been to

So good we went there twice during our short NYC trip. Great selection of beers, quite cheap too. Tortilla with queso is heaven. They also give complimentary cheese puffs. Music is great and vibe is cool too. Our bartenders were always kind and friendly. They also have a pool table out in the back, as well as an arcade game (this one is pretty bad tho). Great place for a few beers and chatting with friends. I would definitely go back if I ever find myself in Williamsburg again!

I've been here many times but never reviewed it. This is a wonderful bar in Williamsburg. The prices are very good. It is a clean bar. It is a big space. They have a Pool Table and free Twizzlers and Cheese Puffs. They have a few snack items for sale. I don't know how they are because I've never ate them. The atmosphere is laid back. The bartender yesterday was Justin who is very welcoming and friendly. All the bartenders I've met here are very nice. The music playing is Rock or Punk Rock but it's not loud. They also have a Jukebox. Neighborhood people come here but they are very welcoming to outsiders also. I highly recommend this bar.

My favorite bar. It’s what Brooklyn was in the 2000s as I remembered it — minus me drinking. Great music, sociable staff, and PHENOMENAL deals on drinks as if they are trying to get rid of them. It also sports a pool table and dart board.

Very rude bartender. He was verbally aggressive when we asked simple questions, overcharged us on drinks, and insulted us when we didn’t tip. My friend recorded because he was being hostile and she felt threatened, and he ended up kicking us out. Overall, a terrible experience.

The Levee is a great place to meet up with friends. The vibes are great but the happy hour is a little disappointing. They only have $1 off drinks. If you’re looking for a good happy hour I’d try somewhere else
