Williamsburg is crawling with mediocre bars and music venues, but Zebulon smoothly rises above the din. Run by the same people responsible for the lovely East Village bistro
Casimir, Zebulon is an ideal spot to chill out with a cocktail or a small bite to eat. It has a natural, cozy French vibe with great décor and video art in the background; note the huge window opening onto Wythe for guaranteed fresh air and people watching. Zebulon also has music practically every night of the week ranging from singer-songwriters to funky, eclectic grooves from around the world, all for no cover. I suggest swinging by during off-peak hours, but if you go late on Friday or Saturday night, be prepared for crowds.
