Teddy's Bar & Grill: Whether you’re looking to watch a basketball game, take your daughter out for dinner, or find a date with somebody else’s daughter, Teddy’s Bar and Grill is it. Locals—the ones who grew up across the street 60 years ago and bring their own crystal brandy glasses with them to the bar—will share a story or 10 about what it was like before the real estate prices drove their friends out of town. This Williamsburg staple, a Victorian tavern that has been a libation favorite for quite some time, attracts more yuppies than legging-wearing hippies. Curved floor-to-ceiling windows decorated with Mardi Gras beads and funky flower-covered lampshades illuminate the place, giving it a real home-style, sit-down-and-kick-it-with-your-friends-and-neighbors feel. |
