Guide Review
Tucked underneath the Williamsburg Bridge, this bar specializes in whiskey, bourbon, and rye. Not for the light drinker, there is little beer and wine to choose from, and though cocktails can be made, they are discouraged. If you like to drink your dark liquors neat or on the rocks, Post Office is the bar for you. On a weekend night, the bar was crowded and there was nowhere to sit or stand, but the short ten minute wait for a table was worth it. Not only is there an incredible selection of bottles (the waiter will bring you a binder to choose from), Post Office offers delicious snacks like Deviled Eggs ($5) or a surprisingly delicious Chicken Liver Sandwich similar to a Banh Mi for $8. Even the house salad ($7) was refreshing and tasty.
