The 10 Best Fireplace Bars in Brooklyn

Clover Club
A tidy fireplace warms the romantic, dark wood interior of this spendy Smith Street cocktail lounge, but be prepared to drop $12 per drink or $46 on a punch bowl that serves four to six.

Boat
Boat's jukebox and happy hour ($3 drafts from 5-8pm) are the best on Smith Street, and its fireplace makes the bar's dank and divey environs seem a lot more cozy.

Sheep Station
At this laid-back pub on 4th Avenue, the stick-to-your-ribs Australian specialties -- including a burger piled with beets, fried egg and pineapple -- taste even better round the fireside.

Tuffet
Best way to enjoy the outdoor fireplace at this East Williamsburg bar?  With a cheddar-chorizo-fig jam sandwich and a chili-cinnamon hot cider to wash it down.

The fireplace adds to the log cabin vibe at this Williamsburg dive, complete with horseshoe-shaped bar and solid jukebox.

Black Rabbit
With nineteenth-century style, private booths and a quaint fireplace, this Greenpoint saloon makes a fine old-timey date spot.

Hot Bird
This Clinton Hill patio won't go to waste this winter, as Hot Bird regulars cuddle around the fire pit with a whiskey hot toddies.

Metropolitan
Featuring friendly bartenders, cheap beer and weekend craft circles, it's not just the fireplace at this Williamsburg gay bar that makes everybody feel at home.

Union Pool
El Diablo Taco Truck, permanently parked in Union Pool's backyard, is a summertime staple, but the tacos taste better when scarfed around the bar's wintertime bonfire.

Spritzenhaus
A wide selection of brews and brats are the draw here, and a roaring fire adds to this Greenpoint bar's appeal.

FYI, the pic you used for Black Rabbit is actually Metropolitan, and the pic for Metropolitan... not sure, but perhaps they got switched?

Thank you for including TUFFET! That's my favorite place to hole up.

Spritzenhaus may have a fireplace, but no amount of romantically-burning hardwood will make up for how bad their service is and how terrible this place is overall. Should be in no top 10 list unless you're making said list for bars to avoid.

I hate being the "you missed this one..." commenter on 'Top' lists, but for such a niche idea, how many fireplace bars are there in Brooklyn that CAMP on Smith Street didn't make this list? They have s'mores! S'mores!

Art bar isn't too shabby either, if you can stand the paintings.
