Barrio, [Park Slope] Brooklyn

there are several benefits to living down the street from a restaurant/bar that serves 2 for 1 cocktail drinks all night. i only have a mere 4 blocks to bravely put on my right foot-then-left foot-sober face, and for 2 DELICIOUS drinks for $9 total? not bad i'd say. they have everything from mango margaritas to mojitos to something called the caprihana.

La Taqueria, [Park Slope] Brooklyn

since kristin and i usually never make it to the heights by 7pm, we move to plan b, and hit up la taqueria in our neighborhood. it's amazing because the margaritas are $4 ALL OF THE TIME. the food and drinks are cheap and delicious, and the employees will not judge you when you stumble out the door. and then show up again the next week.

Trophy Bar, [Williamsburg] Brooklyn

this place is truly a gem . not only do they have amazing drink specials (4$ well drinks), but on thursday nights, they serve a free bbq! although the place is quite small, the outdoor space is full of character - with picnic tables, stringed lights, and trophy memorabilia through-out. definitely check this place out.

Brooklyn Brewery, [Greenpoint/Williamsburg] Brooklyn

if you live in brooklyn - no - if you live in new york city and have not visited the brooklyn brewery, shame on you! this place is great - but be sure to get there early! you pay 20$ for 6 tokens (1 token = 1 beer), and with choices on-tap such as the coffee stout (8.5%alc) ... it's kind of an awesome deal. the brewery is not very big, but is filled with community-style picnic tables. it's great to go with a big group and order pizza from one of the nearby pizzarias! also bring cards ...

need somewhere to go for monday night football, or just cheap drinks and free food? well, here it is. with 4$ chelsea checker cab drafts and 2$ pbr cans - free food is just the cherry on this sundae, i mean monday (from 5pm on). they serve up some pretty decent bbq (as a southern gal, i have grounds to be picky), with potato salad, and hummus. they also have some other specials during the rest of the week, like 4.75$ pints all night on tuesdays and free bagels with a bloody mary or mimosa on sundays (2-6pm). check out their website for more specials - and also check this place out while you're at it.
