New NYC bars and clubs

Ontario

Just added!

The owners of Brooklyn drinking staples Boat, Buttermilk and Great Lakes expand their comfy neighborhood bar empire to Williamsburg with Ontario. And, like its siblings, it's a relaxed and unpretentious spot—about a pleasant four on the dive scale (one being antiseptic, 10 being unvisitable)—with Christmas lights on the walls, exposed brick and a dash of taxidermy. It's long and flatteringly dim, with a handful of local brews on tap and plenty of untreated wood (sort of Canadian-rustic?). And if we had to say which of the other bars it reminded us of most, that'd be a really clean hybrid of Boat and Buttermilk... And Great Lakes. Well, as they say, if it ain't broke, make another bar exactly like it.
