Profile

The owners of Capone's and Alligator Lounge, Williamsburg's bastions of free pizza, have brought the brick-oven business model to the former home of the much-beloved Cellar. Though they've added some ferns, some lacquered beige-green tiles to the bar itself, and some crocodiles throughout (from the door handle to the ceiling), the real upgrade, besides the Skee-Ball machine, is a pizza oven doling out free six-slice personal pies to anyone who orders a drink. While the slices are slightly inferior to and dangerously hotter than those at Capone's, they definitely are putting a dent in the business of the papaya joint down the street. The staff remains the same, as does the NYU crowd. Beyond a confessional-style make-out spot at rear is a door opening onto a patio.

Extra

Wednesday is trivia night: The questions are hard, but the prize of free drinks might motivate.

Visited my friend in NYC this weekend and this place was the perfect start to the night. Beer was cold. Pizza was great and free!

I love this bar

Cozy with a non-douchy atmosphere. Great to hang out.
