Duckduck

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


Boozers flock together at Duckduck, where bare brick walls and wooden rafters are ornamented with skeletons, retro signs and (you guessed it) toy ducks. Best pours are the draft beers and cocktails – sorry ducktails, according to the menu. It's free of TV screens, too, which means more conversation with the punters who rock up for after-work drinks. Cash only.
