Williamsburg, Brooklyn · bar
A stylish relocation from Gowanus to Williamsburg, Lavender Lake delivers cocktail-bar ease with brunch, burgers, beers, and a backyard that makes the bridge views feel like incidental décor. Raised-ceiling interior, mellow lights, and a drink menu just solid enough to keep you focused on the company instead of catching the splash. Ideal for everything from first dates to “we’ve known each other too long” hangouts.
Half-pound burger on brioche with bacon and aged cheddar.
Crispy fried fava beans tossed in five-spice and fresh lime — a crunchy, savory bar snack.
Deep-fried with smoked paprika, served with garlic aioli and a squeeze of lemon.
