The Habitat (CLOSED)

Though the down-in the-holler feel at this Greenpoint saloon is deflated by a deafening soundtrack, the place takes its booze seriously. There are 12 local microbrews on tap, and excellent cocktails include a sweet and woodsy blood-orange margarita. Grub like crispy buffalo wings brings in the locals, who lay claim to the booths and low-slung tables. If you can’t score a seat, grab a 40 and perch upon Brooklyn’s real answer to a country porch—someone’s stoop.
