Old school bar.....great pours for your bucks.....real people....real conversations....I love it.

A great dive bar, but not in a pretentious knowingly kind of way.

I highly recommend the tequila brain freeze. They'll try to call it a margarita, but I know the score.

Favorite bar in the hood. No pretension just drink a beer and shot and hang out.

I had a great time here yesterday, in spite of the drunk lady puking in her purse. The staff and locals here are very friendly and welcoming. I hope to come back to this place soon.

Really friendly service combined with good prices makes for a great experience overall. Plenty of screens to watch sports and game shows, as well as a good quality pool table

Nice dive bar for a few drinks before heading to Goodroom down the street. The big margaritas will have you sideways for sure.

Classic dive bar, great bartenders and regulars, strong drinks and lots of sports on multiple screens. Miss this place when I'm not there.

best neighborhood bar in wburg, huge shots, frozen margaritas, beer can deals

What you imagine a local spot in Brooklyn should be. Tin ceilings, standard bar afair. Cash only. Come one come all. Beer served in dirt Pepsi paper waxed cups.

My favourite NYC dive bar. Frozen margaritas, the pool table and the jukebox make for a fun and somewhat debaucherous evening.

Great Dive Bar...get to meet and drink with real New Yorkers...best and coldest beer options and margaritas at affordable prices

Dive bar, cheap drinks. Don't expect something classy and pristine, you know what you're getting yourself into if you come here. Nevertheless, cheap drinks and great vibe

Amazing Frozen Margaritas. Not pretentious bar to have some drinks and start your night the right way.

Solid dive bar that lives up to its reputation! Cash only!

Stopped in here one night and great people with an even friendlier environment. Excellent margaritas, will be coming here more often.

It's exactly what you want from a dive bar. Pool table, Big Buck Hunter, and they sell drinks in to go cups. Want to grab a 32oz Frozen Margarita, eat those slices of pizza you brought from down the street, and then head down to the river front? You came to the right place.

A pre and post kickball haven. Huge huge margaritas with so much tequila you best be ready to kick it back and try not to vomit. It’s a dark atmosphere but the doors are always open

I stop by the Turkey`s Nest whenever I head to a game at the Barclays Center. They have great deals on drinks, which makes it the perfect spot for pregame drinking before I watch my Islanders disappoint me once again. The cheap drinks are necessary so I can hopefully forget how bad we are...

Nice local with loud hard working guys burning off steam. Prices were good. Service was better than most. Not a date place unless your date is cool with old NYC.

Cool dive bar that gives 32 oz drinks in styrophone cups :)

Ray was the bomb. Great little local dive, but the atmosphere was the highlight and the bartender was the foundation.

BIG Beers at a great price. Local spot that has not changed in 30yrs. Great for a drink during and after a softball game in McCarren Park.

Great regular bar only one of very few left great prices sports on all the time and yes a pool table stop by and u will go again

Great place to hang out! Great staff & good people! Definitely stop in if you're in the neighborhood! 👍🍺

How can anyone ever be upset about getting a liter of marg for $14? This place has it! Cash only, close to the park, a great place to stop especially in summer.

Cheap drinks with large pours, quality service and great vibes overall. Came for Daredevil, stayed for the tequila.

Oldest of the old-school. Goodness knows how this grimey old neighborhood watering hole from days of yore had survived, but if it ever goes I'm leaving Brooklyn. The frozen margaritas are dangerously good value... They're in unmarked cups and the park is right across the street... Just sayin'

A rare diamond in the rough among Williamsburg's overpriced, overcrowded trendy bars. The drinks are dirt cheap, the bartenders are mean, the decor is appropriate to a dive, and there's always a crowd but it's never packed; what more could you ask for? You will get a nasty hangover from drinking whatever it is they have in the well, but your wallet will thank you.

Very friendly and classic dive bar. Happy to see it's kind still thriving in the area. They have a pool table and a big buck game in the back. Cash only.

Arthur Trusov

I love this place, man. The patrons are such fun people and the bartenders are usually busy but will tend to you. Regardless you get REALLY strong drinks at cheap prices. This is a cash only bar, kinda rare nowadays in Williamsburg. Alots of seating for viewing our Jets losing again.

Henry O'Hara

Looks like a local bar, great selection of drinks and a pool table

Matthew Milliken

It's a dive bar, and doesn't pretend to be anything more. The pool table is tiny and the bathrooms are honestly pretty gross, but maybe that's part of the charm? Their frozen margaritas (served in styrofoam cups with a lid) are approximately 30% tequila by volume and are probably the most cost-effective way to drunk in Williamsburg.

Stephen Lopinot

One of my absolute favorite oldschool north Brooklyn watering holes. Dirt cheap, right by the park, and very easy to make new friends or just sit in peace, dealer's choice. Football, baseball, and the ponies are always onscreen and the regulars are jovial. Been coming here for many years and hope to return for many more!

Anton McMenamin

Good dive bar with friendly staff. You get what you're expecting. It is cash only with an ATM available.

Mel Amaya

Listen, if you need a drink before during or after work- this is the place to go. Covid is a Bi$$$$ but this place has the largest drinks- frozen or on the rocks. I would call them Covid size if you would...and the sandwiches, like no other .... super friendly staff - no- amazingly friendly staff. Great- heavily poured drinks and a clean and sanitary restroom for all of those out door diners. Get ready for 2/14 we’re coming for you!!!!

Jaime Urteaga

Cheap drinks. Great vibe. Lots of young people. Friendly. Cash only 3 dollar pints of coors light /bud / but light and $6 large 32oz cups of beer. They have a pool table, large cheap mixed drinks, and Vinny's pizza down the street!

alpha. pee

Gotta love this bar! It is a place taken out of a cult film, from its premises to its customers! The guys working there are awesome as well and it is open till late at night. I am genuinly happy i found this bar while on holidays in New York!

NYC rooms_flats_lofts_ebikes

Great friendly bar!! Pool could be a little cheaper, but great deals on drinks clearly make up for the $2 pool!! It’s a mixed social crown locals and tourists!! You can bring food in and they provide and ATM for their cash only bar!!!!

Jared Garfinkel

My friend brought us here to end a late night of drinking. The prices are basement floor low for this area. The tin ceiling appears to be original. There's a pool table in the back. There's a lotto machine at the counter. It's a charming bar in a way. Would recommend.

Samuel shaffer

I've gone there for years..it's a pure dive bar. The Margaritas during the summer are a good way to have a good time. If a bartender by the name of Sam is there..you'll have a good time..one of the best bartenders I've known.

This div bar has been my go to spot for over 8years. Cheap drinks and enjoyable bartenders

one of the last real dive bars in Williamsburg. huge frozen margaritas in styrofoam cups....one is all you need

Super cheap beer and frozen margaritas: my personal favorite of the styrofoam-cup-dives

Great dive bar, different to the other options in the area

$6 beers. One of the most laid back bars in Williamsburg

This place is so old and full of character. Beers in styrofoam cups and lot's of crusty old men. Small place with a pool table and a lot of local traffic from folks coming out or going to nearby McCarren Park

Perfect pre-game spot in Williamsburg. Get your drink to go in a Styrofoam cup and head to your destination. Frozen margaritas are the bomb!

Has to be the very definition of a dive bar, but in a good way, down to the gentle ribbing my (non-regular) group got when we walked in.

No frills dive bar close to McCarren Park. A fine place for a pre- or post-game drink.

This low key dive bar has super chill vibes, cool bartenders, and a bare-bone asthetic. There's a pool table and cheap drinks served in Styrofoam and paper coke cups. It's a great place to go to be unbothered by woo girls and jabronis. 4 starts only because food would make it better.

This place falls under the dive bar category, but doesn't have the feel of it. The prices are ridiculous, by which I mean $20 USD will get you seriously sloshed with top shelf liquor, not at least seriously buzzed. The clientele are typically the Williamsburg crowd, which consists of mainly of young urbanites with pretty good attitudes. I've never had an issue in there. And always a good time. Turkey's Nest doesn't have much for entertainment other than a few TV screens and a pool table. No food, but you can bring outside food in, and two restrooms which are definitely not a selling point. But who cares? Cheap booze and a good crowd. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for some drinks. Especially if you are looking for a pre-flight spot.

Drinks are a great price. $14 for a large margarita that will get you feeling nice. My friends and I def enjoy coming here.

+1

This is the diviest bar around. They sell 32 oz beers in styrofoam cups for $5. You can also get margaritas to go which are great for drinking in the park. They have Big Buck Hunter in the back.

I miss hanging in a bar. It was cose to it. Service great! Bartender was amazingly nice. There was order all Covid protocol in place and enforced. Safe!

Great post-on-asphalt softball game bar. Big styrofoam cups of cheap beer. It's a dive. With a pool table. It's exactly what you need sometimes.

Good beer, good prices its in a convenient spot as well

If you're looking for a fun place with cheap drinks, a good jukebox and excellent bartender's its all here! A night out in North Williamsburg wouldn't be complete without having a drink here. You can opt for the 32 ounce cups of Bud, Bud Light or Coors for $3.50 or get a 14 oz drink with premium liquor for $6 bucks! Most likely Paddy or his daughter will be behind the bar so tell em Keith sent you! This will become your favorite spot in no time!

laura mac

Been passing by for the longest time and always meant to stop on. Glad I did tonight-this dive is exactly the kind of vibe I go for-no fuss, no muss, and great music on one of the (many) TVs. They also have a pool table and jukebox, so that’s a plus too.

Haven Miller

Very dive-y, old school, no-frills bar. I don't understand why it's called Turkey's Nest (but I think it's part of the charm), and I don't like that all their drinks are served in to-go plastic cups regardless if you're staying or going (bad for the environment), but they have good prices and pool.

T W

Any place can be a great place when you have your peoples with you :) This place was great. Awesome drinks. Their frozen margaritas are the sh*t according to my group but I stopped messing with tequila years ago. Definitely a great neighborhood bar with the grumpiest of grumps manning the bar. He was great though. I say that with love. You'll have a good time.

Zachary Wright

This is a great dive bar to get smashed at. It's cash only which kind of sucks. They serve drinks in fast food cups which is kind of hilarious. There is also a pool table.

Alex Trimpe

It's a divey sports bar. I could see it getting pretty wiley and bro-y on weekend nights, but it wasn't during the day for us. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was empty. They have a pool table for $1 and serve all different types of domestic beers. They also have some frozen margaritas but they're in that rotating slushie machine, so I would be cautious with those. Friendly staff.

Just a classic dive bar, pool table is kinda in a bad spot and the atm was not working and this is a cash only bar.

Okay bar to have a quick drink. The draft beer tasted rancid though..

Dive bar, but legitimate. I'd give it 5 if it wasn't always full of some Trump supporting douches.

The guy at the door was cool but the bartender complained about being on his feet all day.

Oh god, this place is so dirty. But that's okay. I'll just avoid the bathrooms. It's loud and crowded over the summer, when Williamsburgers flock there for large take-away styrofoam cups cups of margaritas and Coors.

ahh the turkey's nest. a staple of summer's past. it's pretty gross, but you can't really beat to go cups and bathrooms they'll let you use even if you're not drinking. it's always hot, loud, sticky, and dirty. i mean it's called turkey's nest. think about it.

This is a typical dive bar in North Williamsburg right across from McCarren Park. The ambiance is lacking, but if you want a decently priced "to go" patron margarita this place is for you. One thing to consider when going is that it is cash only.

Frank Secretario

Nice Little Dive Bar!

William Young

It's a dive bar, so lower your expectations. The beers are cheap, it's cash only (there's an ATM), there's one pool table, two bathrooms, and there's at least four big-screen TVs above the bar. There's no kitchen, but they don't object to bringing in outside food. Just a no frills dive bar across the street from McCarran Park.

Lucas G

Walked in super early on a Saturday and place was empty so can’t comment on the typical atmosphere. Not a good bar for playing pool at all though. Cues are crooked and you’re up against a wall for a lot of shots. Only real plus was our drinks were served in plastic cups, so we were able to walk with them

Corinne Rosen

I have never eaten anything here so I have no idea how the food tastes. The bar has the local corner bar feel to it. It is dark, and uneventful with decent music. The bar serves Xtra Large Margaritas in to go glasses. Get a margarita and head over to McCarren Park on a nice day. Lay in the sun, absorb some rays, drink, and pass out at least once before you leave New York if you are a transplant with a leaving date, you will not regret it. The yummy margaritas make this a great place to go to.

Service was good. Beer was beer. Location is beautiful. The place is trashy on the inside. But cannot understand, in this decade, how much plastic and styrofoam they waste....

You don't go to Turkey's Nest for the atmosphere or the decor, you go there for the to-go cups and proximity to McCarren Park, especially during the summer. The staff is pretty friendly, considering, and they don't mind if you run in to use the bathroom even if you're not drinking there. But really, it's all about the to-go cups.

racist.. service sucks .. waited 10 mins for a drink at the bar while it was empty.. it was like they did not want my services .. if I could I'll give no star..

Zero stars are not allowed * so I have to give the Turkey Neck , 1 star ...Racism will not be tolerated in NYC , bars are a dime a dozen . THE TURKEY NECK , will not even get a urine sample from me .

Racist against Puerto Ricans and their crisis let them sink he said his bar should sink disgusted

Stay Away!!! Rude/Racist bartenders, the owner is also a confirmed racist. It’s Dated, Dusty, & Damaged. Keep out, plenty of better bars in the area.

Very unpleasant environment. Owner makes you feel very unwelcome, he's a racist SOB. Worst experience ever, wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy.

disgusting dirty place! Workers are rude. Don't bother wasting your money there are many classy bars in area.

Horrible service. Bartender was the rudest person I've ever encountered. When he poured me the wrong drink and I asked him to pour what I ordered, he shoved my money back in my hand and said I could go somewhere else.

THE REVIEW DESERVED ZERO STARS BUT GOOGLE DOESN'T DO THAT YET. We all say things that we regret. When I was a kid, I thought being grown enough to go to a bar with friends would be an awesome thing. Then I grew up and saw the bar scene. Alcohol sometimes authorizes bar-goers to say some stupid things. I've learned to look the other way when drinkers put their foot in their mouth. I usually attribute it to liquid courage. But when the establishment itself, the ownership and staff, whom I would like to think are not drinking while working, at least not to the point of being inebriated, when the owner and staff make comments that are insensitive to say the least, directed to one of the largest group of people within a 1 mile radius of the establishment, that is unacceptable. I'm not going to protest, riot, break windows, ANTIFA-rize the place, or go to a corner to cry like a baby. I am a lot more educated than that and definitely too busy building my financial empire to waste time on such moronic acts. I'm simply going to share my opinion and hope that others see my point. Your comment about Puerto Rico and it's people in the wake of Hurricane Maria were insensitive, disrespectful, and completely uncalled for. To say that we should just let Puerto Rico sink, when my grandparents' caskets, along with more than 3,000 others were lifted from their resting place due to the flood waters, that was insensitive. To say that Puerto Rico should sink, while I have family over there that currently has no food, no running water, no electricity, no medicine, no gas to drive anywhere to pick these things up from those that have donated, and many of them without homes, your comments were wrong. I'm sure you will still get some people attend your bar. But here's a suggestion; Puerto Rican people come in every shade of skin color and every ethnic group. We can be Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Mediterranean, Pacific Islander or EUROPEAN looking. You never know if the redheaded freckle faced southern accent girl sitting at your bar is a Puerto Rican. You never know if the Black dude from Brooklyn sitting at your bar is Puerto Rican. You never know if the White guy from North Dakota sitting at your bar is Puerto Rican. What about the Asian guy hanging out with his friends? Yep, he could be Puerto Rican as well. What about the dark skinned girl with the afro hair hanging out with the blue eyed, blonde hair girl? You guessed it guys. They could be Puerto Rican as well. We are real chameleons that way. We blend in and get along with people from every culture, every racial & ethnic background, every level of financial status, and listeners of every genre of music and art. You never know. So when you made that comment, that we should just let Puerto Rico sink, you disrespected many of your customers, and a huge majority of the community that lives within a 1 mile radius of your dive bar. I would say you should be assessing the damage and planning on some damage control before your business suffers to such a level that it will have to close it's bargain doors for one final time. Que Viva Puerto Rico! Yo soy de Maunabo, PR y Lares, PR!

The owner has had a large amount of Latino customer since the 90s. This week he lost that clientele because of his remark "let those people sink", I will never tolerate a place where the owner is a racist or the workers that work there. I refuse to give this business anymore money.

Racist owner against puerto Ricans, they smile in your face. If this is true believe me its not just Puerto Ricans hes probably racist against anyone doesn't match his skin color. Ignorance thrives these days.

Wow to think that someone can say such comment because they thought everyone was white/Caucasian. New lesson for this business, we Puerto Rican come in all shades of colors. There was a conversation about what happened in my main land of Puerto Rico where I was born at. The individual who was the owner making the comments said, let Puerto Rico sink. Yet he had no idea that he made those comments around light skin Puerto Rican. After he was confronted, he didn't even have the compassion to apologize for his actions. So people got up, walked out and will never ever come back. Now I ask others to join us to show them that racism/hatred in America, New York or anywhere in this country is unacceptable and won't be tolerated. #BOYCOTT #VivaPuertoRico #Unidos

If you're a racist, insensitive, ignorant person, then this place is perfect for you! It's going viral on Facebook that the owner of this establishment, said a comment, that the American citizens of Puerto Rico should all SINK regarding the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. It's absolutely disgusting that an individual would say such evil things during this crisis! #PrayforPuertoRico

My friend ordered a Stella, we watched the bartender pour a Budweiser. We politely told him we asked for a Stella and that we thought he poured a Bud. He said "No, I poured a Stella" before he ripped the beer out of my friend's hand, poured it out, threw my friend's money back at him and said "if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else." Extremely rude when we were polite about it. Their other drinks are bad anyway. Go somewhere with nicer people and better drinks.

Cash only. $20 for 2 Guinness, would not come back.
