We made a trek to Pete's on a muggy Saturday afternoon/evening. When we arrived ~5:45, there were just a few people there, but things really picked up by 7 when the band started. Shoutout to the solo bartender who handled the surge well until help arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Had a great time there as I was passing through Williamsburg caught @amosrosemusic live and had a few great drinks. The vibe is wonderful and the staff are welcoming. Please stop at in on Sunday when you get a chance Open Mic, backroom shows etc.

Awesome little bar and venue. I went on a Wednesday and saw a couple of talented comedians at their stand-up night.

Pete’s Candy Store is a great venue. It’s unique layout will remind New Yorkers of being in a train car with seating on either side of the room. Except that the walls kind of look like giant chocolate bars which is perfect for Pete’s. It’s a great venue to catch up and coming artists as well as bigger acts looking for an intimate space. There’s a nice outdoor area for getting away from the music or just getting some air. The bar is great, they usually have a couple of bartenders taking care of everyone and the drinks are great. They used to have a tiny kitchen making grilled cheese sandwiches, not gonna lie I miss those sandwiches.

Loved the live music we saw tonight! The venue was small but cozy. Definitely a great place to see small bands or people just starting out.

Great vibe. Fantastic patio. Haven't tried the food but the cocktails are very well done and not overpriced. Love how they have bands night where you get to see as much as 5 band in one night.

Great spot for drinks and live music!

When it’s not crowded, great for a drink and chat or bit of reading. Beer list and cocktails are good. Bartenders are attentive and friendly. Small performance space in the back is reliable to hear something new & potentially coming up (Vampire Weekend played one of their earliest shows here). It can get pretty crowded after a show. Also, comedy and poetry performances but haven’t been to either of those.

Pretty much the only bar i go to consistently. Music can be hit or miss but i always love checkin it out, cause when its great, its great. Staff is pretty nice, the bouncers have great vibes. Back yard is great for sitting with many people. Inside is cozy, but often packed on a weekend, also tends to get a bit fratty with the crowd. The music venue area is truly a gem and even if things could be better in there, I wouldn’t want them to change. Great spot

Came here for trivia on a Wednesday and loved it! Trivia starts at 7:30 so we got there a bit earlier to stake out a table for a group and there was plenty of seating! The vibes are great and there are three pretty large spaces for seating. The grilled cheese and chips are a nice touch and I was a huge fan of the hibiscus mule! The trivia itself was pretty hard but I'll definitely be coming back here with my friends to try again!

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR PHONE. been on two separate occasions over the course of a couple months and both times friends have gotten their phones stolen and promptly sold to china. happens in the photo booth room every single time. management is complacent and will do nothing to help you. beware. WE WERE TOO TRUSTING

Horrible lack of service form Catherine - didn’t get their pronouns but damn. They sure didn’t seem to want to be there and made it customers problem. I get it, work sucks, but like you don’t gotta make that our problem! We were here to pay you and enjoy for time off work but they made it very clear we weren’t welcome. Bummer cuz Pete’s has always been a fave but i guess it’s been a minutes cuz things sure have changed with a bartender like that!
