Fodor's Expert Review Gowanus Yacht Club
Carroll Gardens
Open May through October, this outdoor bar wedged next to a Carroll Street subway entrance is a favorite with fans of both cheap beer (like cans of PBR) and glasses or pitchers of craft brew. Picnic tables line the patio space belonging to the adjacent bagel shop. The menu is driven by the grill, which means hamburgers, hotdogs, kielbasa, and knockwurst. (There’s always a vegan option, too.)
