ALLIGATOR LOUNGE has the potential to be the second best bar in Williamsburg. The best is and will remain BARCADE where video games rule. ALLIGATOR on the other hand is great because unlike many of it's contemporaries is not pretentious. Most 'Burg bars refuse to stock everyday beers like Budweiser and Coors. They also refuse to have a television, both of those things are too "common." Maybe the proletariat enjoy watching mundane banalities like a game after a hard day of work, but that's for the peasants they feel. This bar refuses to go along with that. Actually, they take the ethic of giving people what they want to the next level. They offer free pizza, yes, FREE. All you have to do is buy a beer and a delicious brick oven pie is yours. I went this Friday to see a new addition. Bands, the seldom used back room is now offering live music. Awesome. I hope this trend continues. My only complaint in this department is the lack of air conditioning in the back. But I love the tiki motif, too bad some piece of doodoo decided to tag up the back wall. Speaking of the feces people, this is the one thing that demotes the bar. The crowd is diverse, unfortunately in a neighborhood that includes many mestizo residents that means some of these two legged vermin will come by for the free grub. Standing outside the bar I witnessed one large specimen assaulted some poor patron coming out of the bar with his girlfriend. In true scumbag fashion the subhuman landed a massive shot to the head of the guy while his back was turned. I give to the girl credit as she started swinging at the back peddling human dung heap. He walked away. Best was the yard ape standing outside pretending to be a bouncer. Between bites of his sandwich and ogling all he could muster at the savagery he was responsible for handling was a few halfhearted "Yo, yo, yo's." Worthless. Too bad because if you take away this element, ALLIGATOR LOUNGE will be the second best bar in Williamsburg.
Pros: free pizza, good beer
Cons: low life clientele at night
