Blinky’s in Williamsburg has what a lot of the neighborhood’s citizens want right now: a backyard crawling with ivy, regularly scheduled DJ sets and comedy shows, and a sassy drink menu with high school yearbook superlatives listed below each cocktail. Whether you identify with the passionfruit daiquiri “Biggest Flirt,” blue cosmopolitan “Class Clown,” or neither because you believe superlatives are limiting, come here with a few friends and sit in the backyard while you discuss who Blinky might be (the answer is the owner’s cat). We’ve noticed things start to get busy around 8pm on weeknights, so plan accordingly.
