Sidecar

Despite its small menu, Sidecar manages to serve up interesting and delicious bar food. Its BLT soup is a hit with regulars, and both its burgers and buttermilk fried chicken are said to be some of the best in Brooklyn.
200 Fifth

This Park Slope bar offers surprisingly good food in a lively atmosphere. Forego the standard fare, and ask for the bar menu. The prices are cheaper, and the food (hearty burgers and pasta) is just as good as everything featured on the full menu.
