This warm, wood-accented Spanish bar specialises in exquisite cocktails, amari, sherry, and conservas meant for sharing. For something sturdier to hold you over until dinner, go big with the Seafood Plateau (their gorgeous take on an icy seafood tower), the txistorras al vino (Basque-style chorizo roasted in wine), and an order of the sourdough bread. Every cocktail on the list is excellent, but we have a soft spot for the Shiso Painkiller. Get a reservation if you can; this place is always popular.   

Nestled in a quaint corner tavern with a charming tin ceiling, Achilles Heel is the epitome of a gastropub. Offering a delightful array of gastropub-style small plates, house cocktails, and brews, it's a cosy haven for the fine-tasters.

This fun subway-tiled eatery has the tastiest tacos in Greenpoint. There is so much to choose from, and we can promise that any way you go will end up excruciatingly delicious.

Mezcal or tequila cocktail in hand, settle down at Oxomoco and be prepared to be wowed. From the tacos to the tostadas, freshly grilled veg and fish is piled on top and laden with salsas, sauces, and so much flavour. Oxomoco leaves you feeling well and truly content!
