Dining and enjoying a great cocktail is one of the BEST parts about this part of Williamsburg. No need to go into the city to get a great meal and off the charts ambiance. Def one of my favorite things about where I live. Enjoy!!
My husband and I love El Almacen - right around the corner on Driggs between N 7th and N 6th, but it can get a little loud in the evenings. If its warm, the patio outside is LOVELY. Small, not as loud. If you sit at the bar, tell them Eric and Christina sent you. the Love us. Well, Eric really. :)

If it's chilly, Shelter has a fire place and a VERY cool bar that is cozy and not too loud. Everything from the wood oven is yummy but especially the eggplant and cauliflower.

Finally very cool raw bar/oyster bar rest with great cocktails: Maison Premiere. Hard to book - you'd need a reservation, but always worth a try. Both indoor and outdoor seating. If this place is booked, Five Leaves at the top of Mc Carren park also does great oysters.
