When tourists come to New York, they usually settle in a snazzy venue while looking for places to sightsee. When they picture their dream vacation to NYC, they seem to forget about all the other boroughs.
New Yorkers work in similar way. They don’t necessarily forget about the other boroughs, but when they are looking for a night on the town, the city is the first thing that comes to mind.
What everyone needs to realize is that there are fun venues and events to attend in the other boroughs Brooklyn for example is moving up in the nightlife world. Brooklyn has distinct culture and unique heritage. It houses some great spots for a night out.
As a fellow Brooklynite, definitely take my word and check out these venues.
Brooklyn Brewery
It you’re looking for fresh brewed beer in the New York area, then this is the place to be. Pretty self explanatory I know, but there aren’t a lot of places around quite like the Brooklyn Brewery. This brewery offers top of the line beer, and provides tours of the venue. With 8 different types of beer it gets hard to choose, but then again why not try them all. Happy hour is every Friday from 6-10pm and beers are only $4 each.
Brooklyn Bowl
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bowl is more than just a bowling alley. It’s a nightlife institution. With live music, famous DJs and good food, you can’t go wrong. It’s the type of place where you can bowl a couple games then head to the bar and dance the night away. They are open till 2am during the week and 4am on the weekends; however, those of you under 21 can only visit the venue from Noon-6pm on Saturdays.
Sea
Sea is a spacious Thai restaurant, also located in Williamsburg. The atmosphere itself is filled with dark colors, water fountains, disco lights and even bubble swings. The bar is located right in the center of the huge restaurant. Sea is a great place to have dinner or even just go for the bar. Some see it as an overcrowded tourist trap, but the truth is with good food and good drink, why not check it out.
Salty Dog
Located in Bay Ridge, Salty Dog is a bar/restaurant in a firehouse setting. They serve up more than bar food featuring prime rib and daily fish specials. At night, the bar is hopping with a young crowd looking to have a good time. They are also the only place in Brooklyn to house the The Kilkenny Irish Beer Chilling System, which is a state of the art system that delivers Ice Cold tap beer to all of their 18 domestic and imported lines.
