Goldie’s and its 1970s, Las Vegas casino motif are a welcome addition to the Greenpoint neighborhood. The cocktails here are memorable, but what makes it a solid date bar is all the seating options, like stools that aren’t fixed to the ground and the kind of leather booth with sitting across from one another or sharing a side both as options. The crowd is local and convivial, and the drinks well-priced.

Night of Joy is the charming bar that’s a date-night go-to for Williamsburg dwellers, where the weeknights are more quiet and a patio’s available in warmer weather. Supremely low lighting, cozy seating, and a moderate noise level that will round out any lags in banter are the winning combo. Happy hour pricing lasts until 8 p.m., too.

Arrive just about anytime to this South First Street bar to find that it’s definitely divey and a lot of fun, but quiet from the rest of the bars in the area — lending itself so well to an effortless first meet. The cocktails are just $10 at this Williamsburg bar so go ahead and stay for hours before ending the night at the bar’s photo booth.

Maybe there’s some anticipation going into this first date, in which case this wood-paneled bar underneath the Williamsburg Bridge is a fine choice. The bartenders at Loosie Rouge are highly charming and everyone else in the room will be too focused on their own date to be worried about yours.

Bushwick dwellers know and love Pearl’s for its friendly staff and cozy, neighborhood mood. There’s board games for playing, cocktails that are stiff, and on most nights a dog or two will be hanging around. There’s no food, but Los Hermanos’ standout tacos are just up the block.

Bushwick’s Birdy’s leans divey, but it’s a smart choice for an easy and casual first date. It gets a little loud, which is often a first date plus, and it can also be a solid starting point for a date that begs for a second location. If so, Mood Ring is just a few steps away on Myrtle Avenue. Know before: Birdy’s is cash only.

Floyd is a popular hangout for birthday parties, so a nightly lively crowd is guaranteed to help ease first-date jitters. An indoor bocce court awaits, plus cheap beers, friendly bartenders, and a juke box. Plus, it closes at 4 a.m. daily, so there’s no rush to part ways.

This Fort Greene bar sets itself up with first-date potential thanks to a very dark and relaxed interior. Cocktails are pricier at $14, but they’re stiff and always on the nose.

For a first date with a touch of anticipation, stop in any night of the week to this Bed-Stuy bar. There’s live music every night that ranges from folk to gypsy jazz, and a casual vibe that’s still intimate. Do note that Bar Lunatico closes relatively early during the week, at 12:30 a.m.

File Doris under candlelit cocktail bars, sure, but the Fulton Street bar stands out for more than just memorable drinks. There’s also an outdoor patio with a ping-pong table and a live DJ who isn’t the center of attention.

Showing up to Wolf and Deer with more than three people is a mistake, so just stick to wooing a first date here during the week. Cocktails are on the pricey side ($14 each), but they’re easy to sip — or maybe just arrive before 8 p.m. when they’re $10 each.

Retro, 50s-diner-style motif is the backdrop at Bearded Lady. It’s casual and a little quirky, with bartenders serving drinks that are actually boozy. There is plenty of snacks that are easy to share too, like a cheese plate or crudite.

Drink options at Blueprint are expansive, so there’s definitely something for everyone, though there’s particular finesse in the mezcal cocktails. It’s dimly lit, and tables are ideal for two. Plus, the kitchen stays open until 2 a.m., for when the date goes so damn well it’s now midnight and hunger strikes.

Excellent cocktails in a homey space is the ideal match for a first date bar. Grab bar stools, and sip on fun tropical drinks like the Spa Day with mezcal, pineapple, and cayenne. King Tai stays open until 2 a.m. during the week, so there’s little rush if the date is going particularly well.

There’s a heavy vintage feel to the Two Saints space, in a way that’s not overtly cute or too aggressive for a first date. The wine and beer lists are just as long as the cocktail options, and renovated windows are ideal for people watching if some help is needed with conversation.

Dates surely do not require booze, and pastries and coffee at this Crown Heights shop prove that expertly. The house-baked breads are among the other specialities here and definitely shouldn’t be missed.

This low-key Sunset Park hang is a newer addition to the neighborhood, but already has locals swarming. Cafe by day and bar by night, Judy’s is a supremely chill place to get to know someone new. Plus, get a dollar off draft beer and wine from noon to 7 p.m. daily. Bien Cuit croissants are stocked in case needed.

Chances are someone is celebrating something on any given night at Suede, a Carribbean bar and restaurant with a devoted local following. The celebratory yet relaxed environment makes it an exciting backdrop for meeting someone new.

Sip N Chat is a neighborhood favorite, with most locals clued-in on the fact that the vibe any night of the week will be lively and welcoming. There’s a dance floor lit with strobe lights, satisfying fries and jerk wings, and most nights there’s live entertainment — all sure to make a memorable first encounter.

This Bay Ridge standby is a fantastic neighborhood wine bar with zero pretension. The brick-walled space is as welcoming as the knowledgeable staff that works there. If a stomach liner is necessary: there are plenty of choices from the cheese- and charcuterie-forward menu. Plus: the sole dessert option is pie from Four and Twenty Blackbirds.

The indelible pro move for a casual first date in this stretch of Brooklyn is to BYO wine or a six pack to accompany the famed pizzas from Dom DeMarco and his team of lovely pizzaiolos. If bringing wine, focus on reds like a nebbiolo from the Langhe or a cabernet franc that’ll prove blissful with meaty toppings.

Like its East Village sibling, the Sheepshead Bay location of Anyway Cafe is ideally date-y. Stellar martinis go well with the live jazz Anyway is boasting nightly; but the space manages to feel low-key and welcoming, and is certainly not trying too hard.
