SUNSET PARK | WILLIAMSBURGThe Habitat
The quaint interior of this lodgelike spot brings the country inside, right down to an indoor “porch” attached to the kitchen. The food’s market freshness makes up for the predictable spread, which ranges from satisfying pressed sandwiches to hand-rolled empanadas that cram pork, ham, Swiss and pickles into two crunchy, corny heels—all the better to pair with one of 12 rotating drafts. 988 Manhattan Ave between Huron and India Sts (718-383-5615, thehabitatbrooklyn.com)
The Pencil Factory
If you’re looking for a dimly lit spot to savor single-malt Scotches and a conversation of actual substance, don’t pass by the Pencil Factory’s austere facade. Thanks to an unobtrusive soundtrack that pipes in everything from woozy dub reggae singles to old-time country tunes, it’s easy to get swept up in the carefully cultivated atmosphere here. Not to mention the hefty draft list—it would take four or five weak-kneed trips to tackle it. 142 Franklin St at Greenpoint Ave (718-609-5858)BRONX | BROOKLYN | MANHATTAN | QUEENS | STATEN ISLAND

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?
