In Mexico, Pacifico is a beer, but on the corner of Pacific and Smith Streets it is a Mexican oasis amidst a sea of Asian and Italian restaurants. With string lighting and clay tiles adorning the walls, it's hard to remember Pacifico is in Brooklyn.
The menu lists classic Mexican favorites like enchiladas, fajitas, and tacos as well as new twists such as chorizo steamed mussels, macaroni and cheese, and crab cakes. Each appetizer, entree, and side dish rings in at $15 or less to keep your wallet and your belly full.
However, the real allure of Pacifico is not the food. Sangria is offered in both red and white versions in varying sizes of pitchers. The house margaritas have the strength of twenty Mexicans and, if you're not careful, will knock you out of your chair. Order a solo margarita for $6 or a pitcher to share with a lot of friends for $32. During happy hour from 4pm-7pm Monday through Friday, enjoy a margarita for just $4 or a bottle of beer for $3. Happy hour specials are good at the bar and tables, so feel free to sit on the patio or in one of the three cozy dining areas.
Weekend Brunch also offers great drinks specials with Bloody Marys, margaritas, and draft and bottle beers for $4 and mimosas and bellinis for $3 each.
Keep Pacifico on your radar for upcoming Cinco de Mayo, which is NOT Mexican Independence Day. They are rumored to have a raging party with great drink specials.
Subway Directions: Take the F or G trains to Bergen Street then walk two blocks North on Smith Street to Pacific Street. Or, take the A or C trains to Hoyt-Schermerhorn then walk three blocks South on Hoyt to Pacific, turn right and walk one block to Smith Street.

Angry Wade's Will Make You Anything but Angry
...unless of course your team is playing poorly.
Angry Wade's, on the corner of Smith and Butler Streets, is such a "throwback" that it doesn't even have its own website. A veteran of Smith Street for 12 years, Angry Wade's remains a traditional sports bar unlike the newer yuppie and hipster bars that have popped up throughout the area in recent years. True to its roots, Angry Wade's is home to a long dark wood bar and rickety barstools, like any other dive sports bar in America. Even if there isn't a game, you can entertain yourself by enjoying the coin operated pool table or throw some darts.
With six flat screen TVs, and the beginning of baseball season, it is the perfect place to cheer your for your team. Sit at the bar with a buddy or gather your group at a table near the fireplace, order some munchies, a draft beer, and cheer on. The bar menu includes traditional bar food such as wings, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, jalapeño poppers, waffle fries, White Castle sliders, Tombstone pizzas, and the ever popular free popcorn. Each item is $6 or less, except the large pizza which is $9.
The fully stocked bar has a great selection of draft beers including Blue Moon, Brooklyn Lager, Guiness, Magic Hat, Stella Artois, and Bass, just to name a few. There is also an extensive list of whiskey and scotch, thirty different varieties to be exact, ranging in price from $7 to $35 a glass.
Angry Wade's happy hour specials are among the best in the neighborhood. On Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 3pm, draft beers and well drinks are 50% off. Now that's a happy hour.
Subway Directions: Take the F or G to Bergen Street then walk four blocks South on Smitih Street. The single story brick building on the corner is Angry Wade's. Enjoy.
