Order a bottle of Hitachino Red Rice Ale (from Japan), and a shot of Del Maguey Mezcal at Watty & Meg for the start of a real International night. The food menu is gourmet and eclectic, with choices for every palate. And since the weather is starting to warm up, you’ll be able to enjoy their lovely outdoor patio. They even have some nice classically-inspired cocktails to round it all out.

Waterfront Ale House

155 Atlantic Ave. #A
Brooklyn, NY 11201
718-522-3794

Try a glass of American Whiskey or Rhum Agricole (rum from the French Caribbean made from 100 percent pure sugar cane juice) to go along with your bottled beer at Waterfront Ale House on Atlantic Ave. Comfort food like chili and nachos are the perfect pairing with these drinks. The chef is CIA-trained, after all.
