There aren't a lot of places left in Greenpoint that offer a no-frills, pub style experience, and for a number years now, the Slug in Greenpoint has filled this gap. It's a true café, tapas and bar in the original sense of the word, and despite being in a small building, it's a comfortable place to grab a pint, or a quick bite to eat.

There's a vast number of ice cold beers on tap, along with top quality wines and cocktails, and so understandably, all alcoholic needs are attended to. The tapas menu is simple but diverse enough to appeal to all tastes, whether you're looking for something big to eat, or just a few nibbles as you prepare for a night on the town

The Slug and Lettuce is all about the pub vibe and atmosphere, and there are big screen televisions showcasing all the major sports events, with accessible background music to keep it flowing.

Many people use the Slug and Lettuce in Greenpoint as a starting point for a night on the town - it's just a short walk away from a number of other top eateries, clubs and bars, and as such it's a great way to kick things off before a long night in the famous, hedonistic Greenpoint strip.
