Fort Defiance

Excellent food. Great Bloody Mary. Good coffee. Will definitely be back.

Hipster meets historic in this Red Hook gem. My wife and I have been here a few times on date nights out of Manhattan over the years. This place has a solid, high quality burger, and homey atmosphere. One of the better neighborhood spots in Red Hook, most of the patrons are locals. ????????

Good stopover visit while on a short tour of Brooklyn NY. Stopped by during afternoon change over from lunch to dinner - I loved the ' best in the known world's Irish Coffee! Needed that pick me up after a few hours at Other Half Brewing! Also sampled deviled eggs, olives and a muffaleta sandwich carved up! Good cocktails for the family - from Tom Collins to Mr Bee's!

They say it's the best Irish Coffee anywhere - believe it! And the biscuits were divine. All was calm and mellow for brunch on Dec 23, our party of four waa seated right away. Loved the cozy vibe.

Great brunch spot. At times can be a bit cramped but not to the point of bumping elbows. Menu is a tad limited but not in a bad way, all the choices are excellent and well made and delicious. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

Generally speaking expect to wait a bit for a table to open. Decor is fun and historical.
