History

Established in 2014.

Dardy Bar is owned and operated by the NYC-​based band The Dardys. Opened in May 2014, Dardy Bar is a hub of friends, music, art, and all around creativity.

«Bands forming in bars is pretty common and pretty boring. Bands opening bars is a lot more interesting. In an act of entrepreneurial egomania, these guys opened a bar and named it Dardy Bar. It’s at 245 South 1st Street in Williamsburg, and the drinks are cheap. You can buy this record there. Genius.»

I don’t know who put ‘Gastropub’ here as part of this place’s categories but they’re wrong and honestly I love this place because it’s not. Dardy is where you go for Coors heavy, and enough space to hang out with all your friends without it feeling cramped or crowded. Their cocktails are simple but dangerous, the margarita with watermelon ice cube? You can easily down six of those things before you realize you just had a shit ton of tequila, heavy are the hands that pour here and even though I’m not a regular I get recognized.
The only knock is that their food menu is spotty, not that it’s bad but it’s not available a lot. The times I’ve been there their menu was unavailable for different reasons which meant that the likelihood of bad decision making went up with nothing to protect my stomach from all the booze.

Great vibe, music and patrons. Bartenders were cool too. Knocked down a star because we ordered $ 8 nachos and watched the bartender bare hand scoop tomatoes and onions onto them with zero hand washing. I know they touch plenty of questionable things… so that was… Not a highlight.

the bouncer kicked my ass for starting a fight with the disco ball. the sad part is it was actually the hotdog roller that was talking $}{!t to me in the first place. I gotta stop drinking.

I’m a regular at Dardy Bar, and it is consistently a blast. Great neighborhood crowd, cheap drinks, awesome music. In fact — Jimmy & Brian (the owners) always let me request songs and always honor my love for Beyonce, which is a huge plus. Dardy Bar is like that unpretentious friend who’ll always show you a good time, and who’ll stumble right along with you til the wee hours of the morning with the least shred of judgement. And ladies? There’s usually a pretty prime selection of fellas, though they may be properly smashed before you get to chatting. I love ending my night here, it’s like the perfect dive-​y, dance-​y nightcap on my way home.

I don’t know what dardy means, but this place is pretty dardy. It might just be the dardiest bar I’ve ever been to.
Consider it a slightly fancier dive bar. There’s tabletop shuffleboard in the back. Room out front for smoking or lounging. Cool bartenders. And some pretty girls. Dardy girls, even.

This is the best bar this neighborhood has to offer. The chili is off the chain insane, it’ll make you dance like MJ after one bite. The people that go here are not pretentious turds, they’re down to earth and friendly af. I was walking by and stumbled across this gem and fell in lurve.

Owners and bartenders are super cool and super chill! Not only will you feel the awesome vibe when you walk in, the owners are also in a band called The Dardy’s and love to talk music! My favorite item on the menu is probably the rib dog but I’ve seen everyone order the nachos so I’m sure they’re good too. The artwork on the wall is also available for sale and is updated monthly after an arts event.
Jimmy, the owner also mentioned that you can host birthday parties and special events as long as they fit within the schedule. My blog,
hosts our monthly event at Dardy Bar and it’s always a huge hit thanks mostly to the awesome bartenders! Haven’t been there with a DJ just yet but looking forward to making it out one of these nights. Dardy Bar is a regular spot of mine and that’s not something I say about places in NYC… ever! Lol, check it out and let me know when you’re going so I have an excuse to go with you!

Never coming to this bar again. They tried to charge me for my drinks… fuck that. It’s too easy going, the music is too good, the food doesn’t give me the runs, the bartenders are too fucking rad, the front porch is too fucking relaxing, and way too many lonely babes in there… get your shit together Dardy…

This bar is my favorite place to go in Williamsburg. They have everything you could need. Great music, great food, and shuffle board! All the bartenders are top notch. Look out for Nikki she’s a mega babe! Brian and Jimmy are pretty smoking too.
Love the nachos and the rib dog. Coors specials all day every day. The back yard is where the party is!

Great neighborhood bar run by great people. Coors specials on the regular with a very cool deck with stools in the entry way. A nice spot in a relatively quiet section of Williamsburg. Good people, good conversation, good atmosphere and good tunes!

This bar is awesome– owners Jimmy and Brian opened just 4 months ago and it has the best, best vibe. Not your typical Williamsburg bar looking like a faux prohibition wannabe. It is cute, fun, authentic and non pretentious.
Must try Margarita with watermelon ice cube, whiskey sour (w egg white) or the locally sourced kielbasa. (Yumm!)
Also the Mac’n’cheese w broccoli is very, very good, they even give you a side of chilli. I also love the drunken Frito Pie.
Good music, chill vibes, front porch and back patio– Love this place!

Great new addition to the neighborhood. I mean hell, where else do you get coors heavy on tap for $ 4 all night and great eats? Good cocktails too, try subbing for tequila on the ginger bees, its legit.
As far as food they make some of the best old school no frills bar nachos around. Fresh ingredients and healthy (not for you) quantities. The rest of the menu is solid (wings, mac n’ cheese, guac, etc.) and I can’t say I’ve had anything bad to eat there.
Ambience is solid. Not pretentious, just divey enough — interesting bathrooms. Great bartenders. Outside sections in the front and back and ample space to smoke a cig and drink your beer at the same time.

Randomly stumbled upon this place. Great dive bar. Strong beer selection. Seated outdoor area in the front (and back) for smokers. Played a whole lot of Hall & Oates (fine by me). Cool crowd. Complete success.

This place is my new favorite spot in Williamsburg! The atmosphere is really casual and drinks are all well priced. They have daily specials and an outdoor area in the back and front.
They serve cool kitchy bar food and the bartenders are always so friendly! Free shuffleboard!
Totally spacious. I highly recommend it! Happy Hour is Mon-​Friday until 8pm.
Also — Dardy is next door to Rye in Williamsburg — and not in Bed Stuy!
