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. — Ned Vizzini

Heaving from Thursday through the weekend, but plenty of space for couples to have an intimate drink on a weeknight. I sat at the bar and also relaxed in one of the booths when I was there. Good wi-fi too...Read More
