The Habitat - Brooklyn

Check it out, it is everything you can ask of if and more. Perfect combination of a bar and a restaurant. I've been going there for more than a year. It is the best in North Greenpoint. Large choice of beers and liquor, the food menu changes regularly and I'm never tired of it. The make great food and they have a very convenient late night menu based off empanadas and French fries. I'm a weirdo and I've never felt out of place or unwelcolmed there. Staff is experienced, restaurant is clean and has an interesting emphasis of arts. Thank you Habitat, you are my go to place, I hope you never disappear. Heart heart rainbow.

Wings are the best in the neighborhood, and the rest of the food is pretty good too. They play movies with the sound off on three screens that follow a theme. Staff is friendly. Busy at night but also has a regular lunch crowd from the film shops in the area.

Okay, so I'm biased. My wife and I have been coming here since our first date, and she's been a regular since the day they opened. But here's the thing about a good neighborhood place: You don't get tired of going. Ever. They take care of you and establish relationships that are deeper than digging for tips. If you're really lucky, you'll see that they are both people who care about your experience, and if you're lucky, people who can be great friends. The food: These are, in my opinion, the best wings in Brooklyn. Better than Superwings, better than Bonnie's, better than anywhere you can mention. And they are tied for best wings in all of NYC with Wogie's (who are the best in Manhattan IMHO). They key is the butter to vinegar ration in their sauce, so that it sticks to the wings, and puckers your mouth. The Cobb Salad is my other old fallback, and the homemade ranch dressing makes it the absolute jam. The whole place is very comfy. It gets packed sometimes, but you just have to pick your timing. I don't try to go there on wing night anymore, or at certain dinner rushes. I'll gladly take a walk for an hour and then sit up at the bar and ask one of the John's (there are two primary bartenders named John) to pick a beer out for me.

I absolutely adore this place; it's almost absurd how much I love it. For my daughter, her husband, and all their friends, it's practically a second home. The owners are the kindest people you could meet, and whenever I'm in Greenpoint, it feels like my home too. The food is outstanding, the specials are amazing, and they offer a fantastic selection of beers that are always changing. The atmosphere is delightful, and during the warmer months, the front opens up to the street, creating a wonderfully European vibe. In a town full of excellent bars, Habitat is definitely my favorite.

This is a fantastic local restaurant featuring an impressive selection of rotating beers and a seasonal menu filled with salads, appetizers, and sandwiches. The menu consistently includes empanadas, burgers, and a $5 mac and cheese special on Mondays. The staff is friendly, and you can enjoy local artwork adorning the walls, with movies or sports playing above the bar.
