Little Grand

Tucked away in a corner of Williamsburg better known for its no-frills watering holes, Little Grand brings a touch of sophistication without losing the neighborhood’s laid-back charm. The space glows with warm lighting that bounces off aged mirrors and Art Deco touches, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can actually hear the person across from you, yet there’s enough buzz to keep things interesting.

The cocktail program here punches above its weight class. At around $16 per drink, you’re getting carefully crafted creations that justify lingering over a second round. But what really sets Little Grand apart is its bar snack game—plump oysters, rich sausage-stuffed olives, and perfectly chilled shrimp make excellent companions to whatever you’re sipping. While they do offer heartier fare like a burger, the sweet spot is treating this as a destination for drinks and a few well-chosen bites.

The crowd tends to settle into bistro chairs and those distinctive straight-backed booths for easy conversation and unhurried evenings. Whether you’re starting your night here before heading elsewhere or making it your final destination for a low-key late-night hang, Little Grand fits the bill. It fills a gap in this part of Williamsburg that locals didn’t know they needed.

If you’re looking for a polished yet unpretentious spot to enjoy quality cocktails without the scene, Little Grand delivers. Come for the drinks, stay for the vibe, and definitely order something from the snack menu.
