Talon Bar

On our lists of the best activities and arcades & games in New York.

A 1,500-square-foot main room done up with curios and taxidermy anchors this Bushwick-Ridgewood bar, alongside a heated garden out back that runs year-round. Twelve taps rotate craft beer next to wine and spirits, and the kitchen runs a gastropub menu that includes oxtail nachos and a caprese empanada. Downstairs, a speakeasy called No Exit hosts private events and occasional public nights. The garden and main floor are first come, first served, with a dog-friendly patio and a pool table off to one side.
