Review of Burnside (Williamsburg Brooklyn)

I am not going to lie this is going to be as biased as a motherfucker but I like to start this blog off with a bar I thoroughly enjoy and bring some good energy too boot. I am friends with the owners who are super nice and run a wonderful bar so I am not lying about my gushings. First thing first the bar is located in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn far removed from the glut of spots on Bedford but in the middle of the second wave glut further south. This place stands out buy one having the coolest rustic design which feels very cabin in the woods without ever being cheesy. Secondly the food menu contains gods gift to man the cheese curd which is so gooey and bad for you but so damn delicious. They also carry other Mid western fare which from my mid west friends hit the mark so I have to take their word for it. The booze selection is really nice in regards to the beer being mostly a selection of local crafts and low priced stand bys(Milwaukees best for the win)as well as the neighborhood staple shot and beer special(5$). Variables such as crowd which is very manageable during the week and could be a group meetup for the beginning of a night or a date spot or a last destination. The weekends it gets a bit crowded but never to the point of annoyingly so but a first date there. The music is a mix of rock and folk which if you like stuff like that will tickle your fancy if you don't you barely notice it. They also have a shuffleboard table which is easy enough to learn and has ample places to leave your drinks and food as you get into the deft touch of shuffle board. I cannot say enough things about this place Its not to pricey and the staff is super cool and the location is right off the train and there is parking up the ass plus due to the new glut of locations you can easily include this in your night and not feel locked in. I give this the first ever "Rotation" award as you should put this in your rotation asap décor-woodsy without being douche booze-decent beer selection and hand crafted cocktails made well Variables-great mid western food and a awesome staff plus shuffleboard verdict-Rotation Details Address: 506 Grand St, New York, NY 11211 Phone:(347) 889-7793 Hours: Monday 5:00 pm – 2:00 am
