Homesick Midwesterners finally have a place to call home in Williamsburg at Burnside, where you can get your fried cheese curd fix while still maintaining your cocktail cred with a fancy, prohibition era-esque drink. It may not be what you drank at Brewers tailgates, but the gin and green chartreuse-based Bijou packs just as much of a punch as a shot-gunned can of Milwaukee's Best. At the end of the night, there's no better way to work off a few dozen beers and an American cheese-stuffed Jucy Lucy burger than with a friendly game of shuffleboard. — Justine Sterling
