The Three Diamond Door

"If we’re getting a drink in a Bushwick, The Three Diamond Door is the first place that comes to mind. This is probably because it feels like a neighborhood bar where people would hang out in a sitcom about Bushwick, and if you stick around late enough, it’s a great place to meet strangers. It has a long bar, big booths, and a space in the back that turns into a dance floor on weekends. They also let you bring in your own food, and there are lots of good options nearby. If you want a burger, for example, get it from BK Jani. Or if you want some pizza, pick one up at Archie’s." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"There are no gimmicks at Three Diamond Door. No wacky theme, no cheesy decor, no arcade games, and no skeeball machine. It’s just a cool spot with cozy leather booths, a good number of beers on draft, and some reasonable beer/shot specials. It’s also pretty versatile. Sit in the front for a normal bar feel, or head to the back room for dancing. On weekends it gets packed, and it’s a good place for a birthday after-party." - Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim

"Usually when someone builds a bar this nice, they have some sort of ulterior motive. Maybe they want to sell you a twenty dollar cocktail, or maybe they want you to pay a cover to hear some guy with a handlebar mustache pluck an upright bass. Not the case at Three Diamond Door. Just come through with friends, grab a nice leather banquette, and drink cheap-enough drinks until the early morning. This is Bushwick, so pretty much everyone’s going to be younger and cooler than you (in a way that probably isn’t cool), but you can always just have a few beers and dance off any frustration in the lively back room." - bryan kim

"Brooklyn vibes are strong at the Three Diamond Door, where the tattooed bartenders look as imposingly cool as they are friendly and easygoing. There’s no bar in the area more festive on Friday and Saturday nights, when every inch of the place is packed, including the yard and back bar room where amazing dance music blares. There’s prosecco on tap, an excellent selection of beers, leather booths to sink into, and incredible people-watching. "
