SUNSET PARK | WILLIAMSBURGJack the Horse
The bar at this warm corner spot is a little on the small side, but the large windows looking onto Hicks Street make it well suited for sipping red wine and watching the flurries on snow days (let’s pray for them!). The $10 cocktails, like the rye-fortified Frisco Sour, appeal to hard-nosed whiskey drinkers, while beers include old favorites like Victory Prima Pils and Captain Lawrence Pale Ale. 66 Hicks St at Cranberry St (718-852-5084, jackthehorse.com)
Pete’s Waterfront Ale House
Most shops catering to thirsty longshoremen sell only grog and headaches. Pete’s bucks that trend with a nice beer selection, decent array of Scotches and even absinthe for our fancy Euro brethren. The burger-and-brew combo is always pretty sweet ($10.95 for the meat; $6 for a pint), as is the popcorn machine if you’re short on coin and want to nosh for free. 155 Atlantic Ave between Clinton and Henry Sts (718-522-3794)

I can't believe that under Feature / Winter 2008 bar guide / Brooklyn Bars that Red Hook is not listed. How can you leave out Sunny's bar on Conover Street, and the new establishment of Botanica right up from Sunny's and Annabelle's across from Ikea with weekly jazz and r&b live performances. Moonshine at the enterance to the battery tunnel and Jalopy - the best music venue ever! Or have you listed it elsewhere - where?
