Sweetwater, New York

Sweetwater - Sweetwater Tavern lends credence to those who swear the hipster age in Williamsburg is over and the yuppie period has begun. You’re more likely to find a dressed up couple perusing the wine list than a crew of tattooed musicians downing Jaeger bombs. The modern French menu gives a nod to the Polish tradition of the neighborhood, creating unique fusion meals that keep the crowds coming seven nights a week. Especially popular is the late-night menu, as the kitchen remains open until 4am. Despite the upscale leanings, Sweetwater maintains a casual vibe and doesn’t allow the dining room to get too packed, making it a nice quiet place for a small group outing or date.
