"With its old-school vibe and an eclectic selection of beer, the Pencil Factory Bar is a great place to take it easy in Brooklyn, New York. Called Greenpoint's original neighborhood bar, the Pencil Factory has 20 beers on tap as well as a menu of seasonal cocktails and fine wines. Perhaps the most striking thing about the bar is its dark wood walls and tin ceiling, with great music and no TVs. Visiting the bar is like stepping into the past, enjoying a classic drink, and whiling away the evening. There is also covered outdoor seating overlooking the neighborhood, so you can enjoy fresh air with your classic drink. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, able to recommend a beer, wine or cocktail to suit your taste."
