Pete’s Candy Store: Just as sweet as sugar, this local watering hole brings in a young and thirsty crowd every night of the week. Attracting newcomers with live music and their much-ballyhooed Spelling Bee competitions, Pete’s also has quite a few regulars who pop into the fun and funky spot over the course of the evening. There’s a laid-back vibe here—the bartenders are friendly and you’re just as likely to talk to the people at the table next to you as you are to your own friends. Paying attention to the age-old saying that candy is dandy but liquor is quicker, this bar dishes out drinks seven nights a week and has become one of the most non-attitude bars in Williamsburg. |
