Meghan Kathleen: Willies Frozen Coffee cocktail is not to be missed! Oslo coffee + Bourbon make for a refreshing, delicious summertime drink.
Gordon Mei: Willie's frozen coffee is pretty hype. Delicious iced bourbon coffee. Ask for the peanuts. Try to beat my Galaga score.
Olga Strachna: Come here for a relaxing fun night with a few close friends and definitely get the frozen coffee or the mint bourbon iced tea. Oh and ask for peanuts if you're in a snack mood.

Sarah Daily: Yumtown #1: Lotsa 'speakeasy' bars in NY saying they make cocktails. Delmano actually does. $3 chorizo plate—nice snack to go along with chipotle-infused whiskey. They even make my house cocktail!
Ryan Matzner: A nice little speakeasy lounge with a great cocktail selection. Good whiskeys, too. Cheese plate is great, but a small portion.
Daan V.: Best place to get a cocktail in Williamsburg. If you like Scotch, try the 'Smoke and Flowers' with peaty Ardberg. Enjoy!

aro: i think i'm in love. musts: chicken biscuit, bourbon pecan donut, cheese grits.
Katuria Norwood: Try the Chicken Biscuit your first time and then try everything else when you come back. Fun to share the donuts and pie. My favorite hands down is the bourbon pecan pie with chocolate.
James C: Amazing fried chicken. The fried chicken sandwich is out of this world. The pecan bourbon desert is great but watch out it is definitely bourbon.
