Great Pub! Tends to have an older crowd which is great for us 30 somethings. I have always enjoyed chatting to the friendly patrons and servers. Summer on the patio is wonderful.
Pros: nice neighborhood bar
Cons: none

This bar has an awesome beer selection and the bartenders and owners are all very friendly. While this place does get very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights, it is much less so earlier, and this is the best time to go here. The perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon/evening. Weekends they play english premier league games.
Pros: Great atmosphere, great selection
Cons: none

A bit narrow, seating within the window display makes you feel like you are a mannequin for all to see (pretty cool though, unless you are claustrophobic). Older crowd, early 30's. A sign said heineken was $4 but they charged us $5. Whatever. Secret: Tons of old board games in the back, including half missing trivia cards and chess pieces..Play some chess when you realize you're not really having fun, it helps.

Getting bigger and better. Now this great place has live music and events in its expanded space. Featuriing musicians and music events and performers from Scotland, Ireland and Canada. Same great drink choices and service, warm and comforting too.

If you are looking for somewhere warm and cosy with great drinks,extra friendly 'human' relaxed cute bartenders, scottish and irish sassy girls ! this is your local for the winter in Williamsburg. Now a full bar, hot toddys are good, 20 tap beers, hot and fast served homemade pies. Live Irish traditional seisiun musicians on Tuesday nites also make it warm and relaxed a better choice over the loud too young cold bars in williamsburg !!
Pros: intelligent bartender, big garden, table tennis outside
Cons: too much choice, hard to leave

iona is your good old standby pub. your friendly face in a sea of strangers. pull up a stool, drink some great tap beer, go outside & smoke your cigarettes, and bypass bad attitudes. great garden, fresh beer, friendly bartenders. the kind of place you can go to alone, and feel just fine about it.
Pros: fresh clean beer, beautiful backyard, great staff
Cons: , no spirits

Beer and Wine only. There is no hard alcohol. I like the fact that they don't serve hard alcohol. While I have nothing against hard alcohol, in its absence, there is a different vibe there. Hard to articulate, but it is a friendlier, conversation oriented crowd. Evenings after 9pm can get loud, but the afternoons are simply a joy. I think they have 20 taps or something. Clean lines. There is wine on tap also! Or you can get it out of the bottle. They really know how to pour a Guinness. Would you expect anything less of a bunch of ex-pat owners? Check out their garden in the back. A real respite from the truck noise and otherwise industrial nature of The Burg. Cheers!
Pros: terrific staff, homey, great taps
Cons: crowded after 9 pm, smokey at times
