Williamsburg, Brooklyn ยท bar
German beer hall where people end up dancing on tables with a stein in hand while a live brass band plays five nights a week, no cover. The pretzels arrive on wooden boards and the beer list runs mostly German and Belgian imports. Bring a group, the long communal tables are built for the kind of night that goes deep.
