Editorial Review for Metropolitan – by Adam Rathe
In Short
The heart of Williamsburg has adopted this hangout with open arms. A mix of gay and straight hipsters flock to the laid-back space, where all sorts of nightlife bonuses await. Two fireplaces, a pool table, intimate lounges and a checkerboard dance floor--which gets packed during weekend dance parties--conjure a flirty and friendly mood. But the large, leafy backyard and multilevel outdoor deck are the biggest draws, and affordable drink prices the cherry on top.

Great spot, my favorite gay bar in the city. Great beer selection, friendly bartenders, a mixed crowd (woman-friendly) and a lush back garden where they do BBQ in the summers. Best of all, it's always lively without ever being so packed you can't move.
