Brooklyn Ale House (CLOSED)

Pony up the price of a drink, pull up a stool and count yourself a member of the club at this unaffected Williamsburg watering hole. Prices are downright reasonable from 3 to 7pm daily, when all 16 drafts—including Old Speckled Hen and Brooklyn Brewery ales—go for $3 a pint. Regarding mixed drinks, bartenders are known for a generous pour that makes this place a favorite among musicians, artists, writers and off-duty bar staff that call the place their local.
