"The Mallard Drake is one of the better casual Greenpoint spots to have drinks with your PBR-loving friends. The roomy, retro-looking dive bar is filled with mismatched chairs that look like they were procured from 10 different thrift stores, and it has a covered patio. Downstairs, there’s a small pool table, and a window where you can order fries and a burger with grilled pineapple created by Taqueria Ramirez. Both are disappointing, so we’d recommend getting food at the actual Taqueria Ramirez (a block away) after a few rounds instead. For those who prefer soupy cocktails to beer, there's also a DIY Bloody Mary station, stocked with seasonings, condiments, and vegetables. photo credit: Kenny Yang" - Kenny Yang
"Opened in February by the team behind dive Safehouse, the Mallard Drake is the nearby bar where Taqueria Ramírez will run the kitchen and sell al pastor-inspired burgers (meat and vegetarian-friendly patties with pineapple); Back Alley Bread had been doing a residency out of the Mallard Drake kitchen but has since left to open its own standalone bakery in Bed-Stuy." - Emma Orlow
"A nearby sibling to dive bar Brooklyn Safehouse, the Mallard Drake pairs a local bar program with a bakery pop-up presence from Back Alley Bread." - Emma Orlow
"A pandemic-born Brooklyn bakery, Back Alley Bread is now operating out of Greenpoint bar the Mallard Drake at 43 Franklin Street (near Calyer Street), where bakers Autumn Moultrie and Brian Villanueva are selling beef patties, ube buns, and other baked goods for pick-up on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until they sell out, and for delivery on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the Mallard Drake is still waiting on its liquor license." - Luke Fortney
"Reusing the Diamond’s former space, Tony Petillo of Brooklyn Safehouse plans to open the Mallard Drake as a “cheap beer and shot joint” at 43 Franklin Street, near Calyer Street; he envisions duck-themed decor, a soda gun that dispenses pickle juice, and a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar on weekends. Petillo is still waiting on a liquor license, but expects the bar to operate roughly from 2 p.m. to 4 a.m." - Luke Fortney
