Just AddedMeyers Brewing in Fishtown doesn't serve any of its own food—there’s always a Mexican food truck out front and a pizza truck on Saturdays—but you’d be more than happy to linger for the drinks and garage setup alone. Most days, you’ll find people at the bar ordering flights (there’s a great four for $10 deal) while watching a game, and families at the picnic tables out front soaking up the sun with a golden retriever in tow.

Wildwoods BBQ is what summer backyard barbecues aspire to be when they grow up. Started by two Australian friends—one of whom worked at Hometown Bar-B-Que in Brooklyn—the casual North Wildwood spot is dead serious about smoked meat. Get the super tender pulled pork, a link or two of the Aussie sausage, and don’t skip the brisket (either straight up or on top of cheese fries).

This is the Gayborhood's only Black-owned bar. And yes, at some point during bingo, late-night karaoke on Thursdays, or a drag show, you'll likely hear at least five Whitney Houston songs. The LGBTQ+ spot has a long bar, a few lounge areas, and goes full neon after 9pm. But it's not all glowing lights and cognac cocktails here.

Adoro is an Italian spot in Queen Village with the requisite chicken parm that's too big for its plate and oil paintings of the old country on the walls. There may be white tablecloths and daily desserts displayed on a silver platter, but this place is easy to walk into for a casual date night, seven days a week. You'll see couples maneuvering their bottles of red around giant homemade pastas and families passing bowls of garlicky mussels in white wine sauce.
