The Hive

This Williamsburg gathering place is not your average gastropub. For proof, check out the twice-cooked steak-cut french fries served with a flight of dips including black truffle and honey bacon gravy. The comfy, retro space has a charming back garden and caters to adults and their progeny; look for an extensive beer selection as well as a kids’ menu. Executive chef Anton Dayrit (formerly of ABC Kitchen) excels at beer-battered fish tacos, burgers and house-made honey ricotta served with sourdough bread.
