"If you want a quiet drink in Williamsburg, we recommend Hotel Delmano. It’s cocktail bar, but not a stuffy one, and the no-standing policy keeps things pretty mellow. You’ll still find a crowd here on any given night, and the atmosphere is perfect for a first, second, or 200th date. It’s dark, intimate, and it feels kind of like an abandoned hotel lobby that was turned into a bar. They also serve some small plates like cheese and oysters, and there are a few tables outside when it’s nice out." - bryan kim
