Sleepwalk — Restaurant in New York

I expect 3 things when I walk into a bar: cool bartenders, good music, and a "vibe." Now please note, I am not talking about the vibe of overpriced "clubs" that you get in Meatpacking and in Williamsburg, with posers who do not understand how to have a good time and are carelessly spending money on overpriced, watered-down drinks and god-awful, too-loud music of the moment.

This spot hits all three of my expectations - in spades.

It stands out on a block of East Williamsburg where there is little nightlife, but this bar and cabaret would shine among even the best. I have been here three times since I officially moved out of NYC in 2017, and each time I have had a blast. I haven't had a chance to experience the burlesque events or the newly-opened cabaret in the back, but knowing the owners as I do, I am sure each element that they add to enhance the patronage experience will be met with sho-nuff entertainment. The DJs are always on point, and you can always expect a mixed crowd of folks who are just there to have a good time.

Plus you have the added benefit of having the L-Montrose stop at the corner; such a convenience if you don't want to overpay for a car ride in Brooklyn or to Manhattan.

As a self-proclaimed cocktail aficionado, I'm always on the lookout for the next great watering hole in the city. And let me tell you, I recently found my new favorite spot at Sleepwalk Bar.

From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere is cool and eclectic, with funky decor and a buzzing energy that instantly puts you at ease. And the drinks - oh, the drinks! I ordered a gin martini, and it was truly one of the best I've ever had. The bartender clearly knows their stuff, and took the time to craft the perfect cocktail - perfectly chilled, expertly balanced, and absolutely delicious.

But what really sets Sleepwalk Bar apart is the overall experience. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to make recommendations based on your tastes. And the crowd is just as welcoming - whether you're flying solo or with a group of friends, you're sure to strike up a conversation and make some new...

I just came to this bar for a friends birthday party.. Let me tell you I was seriously impressed with this place from the moment that I walked in there.. The decor of the place reeks of coolness and fun vibes.. Comfortable front room nice bar and lots of places to sit with your friends.. Back area was a nice couch area where my friends birthday party was. The back area fit many people very comfortably. The bartender for the night a very cool hip guy who had ZERO attitude despite him reeking of being cool like a rock star. Drinks were easy to get as the bartender was on point in the way he dealt with all the customers. There are at least 2 other bars right on the same street which one of them I wasn't impressed with at all and a delicious fresh homemade tasting Mexican place a few doors down.. Just what you need to end or start your night here at Sleepwalk.. With all things said is now my go to place when I'm in...
