Clem's

Hard to get in here

super nice

Awesome spot

Good place

This place is an awesome bar with a generally chill vibe. Isabelle, the bartender, is super cool and an absolute babe.

Troi is the coolest bartender

Coole Bar! Wir hatten ein paar Bier hier.

Classic no nonsense NYC dive bar, which has gotten harder and harder to find.

chill bar with some good music and of course Tecate and a shot for 6 bucks

A place where you feel at home. Drinks are reasonable and good

fantastic dive bar with great cocktails.

Always great drinks and a good time!

Obviously great—immaculate vibes for your neighborhood dive

If u are in the Burg, stop by 'Some times u want to go where everybody knows ur name'

Best nite ever with the FRIDGE

Second best bar on earth

Five starts. Typical neighborhood bar!

Nice, laid-back bar.

Dive bar with outdoor seating

Best bar on the block!

Perfect neighborhood dive!

Try the Mezcal slushy for added class

Fun karaoke spot!

Perfect bar, that’s that!

Great bartenders!

Yes very good 👍👏

Great drinks, friendly staff, and comfortable patio cafe. Beer and shot special is fantastic value for this neighborhood, and many other beers on tap still.

Haven't been out to Williamsburg in a while, and after roaming around trying to find somewhere to just have a cold one,we found that covid reduced capacity+weekend+finally spring weather=long waits and a bunch of B.S....except at Clem's. Clem's is a bar shaped bar that you can just rock up to and have a drink and some unneccesarily good bar snacks. Love Clems!

Amazing vibes, good drink specials, great music, & even better bartenders. On the top of my list for all my future NY visits!

Very cool vibe here. Lots of locals and regulars. Good beer list. Outside, people-watching seating.

Because it has been around forever and has an affordable drinks line up. Not pretentious like some bars in Williamsburg can be.

One of the top 5 in Williamsburg

I love this bar and their drink specials. The crowd is weird and fun in the best ways.

have you ever pondered sleeping with someone you felt was below your standards, but then you hit anyway and it was fine? kinda like that.

Nice little dive. Not a lot of space, but that's not a problem. Staff were attentive and generally polite.

Very friendly, great service! Awesome selection of beer and liquer.

Great bar where you can always expect a chill time.

Been the same great neighborhood spot for at least the 14 years ive lived in the hood.

Visited this charming corner Irish bar during St. Patrick’s Day weekend while in NYC with my wife. Our local friends brought us here specifically, knowing it would deliver an authentic experience away from the tourist-packed celebrations elsewhere in the city. Despite being a Saturday afternoon of the festive weekend, the place had the perfect atmosphere - lively but not overwhelming. The intimate space had that classic neighborhood pub feel that’s increasingly rare to find in Manhattan. The Guinness was absolutely stellar - exactly what we were craving for the holiday weekend. Each pint was cold, poured with patience and precision (that crucial two-part pour), and tasted remarkably smooth. None of that bitter aftertaste you get when Guinness is rushed or poured incorrectly. What made the experience special was enjoying properly-poured pints in a genuine Irish pub with friends who knew the local scene.

Stopped into this bar on a whim and I had a great time! I sat alone at the bar and met some very cool people and the bartenders were super cool as well. They had a good DJ spinning vinyl and I felt safe and comfortable as a woman alone drinking here.

This is where I go when I want to be in a bar with grownups. Their beer and shot specials are somewhat legendary. This was an oasis during the first part of the pandemic. They changed the service over and over again to meet the changing government regulations and even took donations for local causes. If there’s a good pop-up, get there early because it’s always the best of the best.

Crecia is one of the best bartenders I have ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! She made a shot that was an entirely new and unexpected!! It was citron vodka w a dash of amaretto!! I never would have thought of that. So delicious!! She rules!!!!

Bartender Fletcher was so friendly and gave us great recommendations for Williamsburg! And the drinks were great and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for for an afternoon drink.

One of the best local bars in Williamsburg. Clem’s is perfect for a low key drink with your significant other or a rowdy night with friends and co-workers. Their drink prices won’t crush your bank account and the relaxed, laid back vibe will have you feeling like you’re partying in your best friends home without any of the cleanup. The bartenders are all professional and welcoming. Their outdoor seating on the front and side of the bar make for excellent people watching.

No frills bar with friendly bartenders that shows soccer on the projector sometimes. It can get loud and a little rowdy on weekends, but most of the time it’s pretty low key. Great place to get shot + beer combos or a frozen boozy lemonade. Limited outdoor seating available.

Place is rad. Rock solid bartenders, dope music, killer vibes. My friend pissed himself there one night and no one blinked an eye. My other friend sprayed beers in someones face and walked out with his head held high. Probably the best place in Brooklyn. I'll never stop going.

Stiiiiif Negronis. No-nonsense bartender(s). They had a pretty good DJ playing Culture Club and Jorge Ben Jor records. A bit loud. Not too crowded.

Decent bar in Brooklyn

Nice and divey

Just a bar. Comfortable. Enjoyed the kombucha on tap.

Good chai latte, sandwiches and wifi

The drinks are amazing.

This feels like a locals only dive bar. Went here for a movie screening. Movie was great, staff was great, drinks were great. Can't complain.

Clem's best feature is that it has no features. It's just a bar with good prices and tables outside to sit at while you make progressively more snide and/or lurid comments about passersby as your BAC ticks steadily upwards.

Great neighborhood bar. Friendly staff, great clientele! Outdoor seating and frozen drinks!

Goid bartenders, good music, tv if you like sports and outdoor seating. One of the few unpretentious bars in williamsburg..

I'm probably biased because i was kissed there by a pretty lady but anyway it seems nice

One of the best pints of Guinness around

Dependable neighborhood dive with a heated outside seating structure and additional heated tables under their awning on Roebling. Window service on Grand. Solid hot toddies and tamales.

Simple and straightforward bar. A good amount of outdoor seating, which is probably it's greatest strength. Other than that, the beer selection is okay, and the staff was pretty friendly. No complaints.

We went there on a Friday night after dinner. It’s a neat atmosphere. We drank the hard Kombucha ($5) really good. I would say Clem’s esthetic is Midwest with a Brooklyn twist. Antlers, deer heads, rock and roll music. The DJ (Jan 31 2019) was good and created a cool atmosphere. I believe she was spinning vinyl too which was impressive.

Came here a couple Sundays ago and the bartender Say was the absolute BEST. Would probably give this bar 2 stars but they were so great to the point I felt like I had to write a review about it. Super personable and attentive to everyone. Was having a rough day and they made me feel so much better and it was really fun chatting. Usually that bar is kinda ehhh bc not much is going on and it’s so boring looking. Glad whoever is in charge of hiring finally hired some interesting diverse bartenders! Def recommend going in when they work on Sundays! You won’t regret it!

Very cozy space. Inside and outside seating. Went late night 7/4, and we both got frozen margaritas. They were ok. They were in these mugs; the drink had a good consistency. Although I wouldn't go back to try this same flavor, I would of tried the other flavor "Rose". While sitting outside, the animals of the night were out to play. Although I don't blame them for the animals I wouldn't choose to come back at night. I like that the bar tender came outside to tell everyone it was a last call as well. Not just coming with a bill and shoving it to pay and leave. Especially for it being a holiday. So I really appreciated that.

Great dive bar in Williamsburg. Long wooden bar and have TVs for sports and outdoor seating during the summer. Come as you are kind of bar.

Outdoor seating in the summer, dark and cozy in the winter. Your regular mixed drinks made stronger than you're used to. Like most bars in the 'hood, it's hard to find a seat during happy hour, but the generous deals make standing worth it. Then the crowds clear out and you can continue the conversation with your friend — or that cute bearded dude down the bar.

Neighborhood staple. Known for cool pop ups and showing important sporting events. When NY ( all teams) are doing well, they have it on. Far as I have experienced. Standard williamsburg crowd. Adult adult. Post hipster- pre yuppie/ fiance bro. Lol If you know you know Food is good when they have pop-ups but don't expect food on regular. regular. Weekends- if you have a crowd, come earlier because seating is tight. Close quarters. Two bathrooms.

Yeah

Curious décor and clean bathrooms, but no Sauvignon Blanc

Nice music. Just a bar. Nice one

An ok dive bar. Gets busy later in the evening

Calm bar, relaxing atmosphere

Layout/atmosphere *Dive bar; graffiti covered bathroom; bar area; two tables in front; chairs by window for people watching; one TV (was not on); couple of tables outside under awning Service *FIne Food/drink *No food menu *Beer & shot specials (2)

No food just snacks which is fine . Bartenders are lovely and it's a nice old fashioned narrow bar with no TV which is a blessing. It feels like a cozy comfy neighborhood hangout with a few cocktail specials, basic "red/white" wine by the glass and standard spirits. Great so far. What brings it down are the prices. About 50% higher than they should be. 15 a glass for no name $8 a bottle wine and well-liquor drinks. Too bad bc it makes it impossible for it to be a place to hang out get comfortable and have a few drinks. The tab would be too high and better to get a 15 wine at a place with choices and higher quality

I've been to this bar several times and have enjoyed it generally. However, tonight the bartender was especially rude. We were so excited to come and have a drink here, and instead we were met with a rude comment and a rude attitude. We will be back, but it would be easier to do so if the bartender wasn't awful.

Really weird DJ. Honestly, if they had stuck with the bartender and his iPod it would’ve been better. The transitions of the songs were at best fade outs, at worst random jarring starts. The setlist made no sense either. Just awkward.

An excellent Williamsburg style dive bar.

very very weird vibes from the bartenders and other people working. they were all incredibly unhappy. kind of expensive for a dive bar too. would not recommend ):

Cozy and intimate but wack vibes from staff and customers. $8 beer shot. Not worth folks

sus bartender anticss

Música boa, mas ….

Worst experience ever. Worst waiter ever

Placed seems nice but we met the rudest waiter I’ve ever seen in my life Don’t go !

The bartender was so rude after we tipped 1 dollar for her opening a can of white claw
