Review from TimeOut New York

For night owls who equate clubs on desolate streets with hipness, the Bell House has your number. But this Gowanus bar and music venue is worth the bleak trek. The sprawling spot's two bars, one nestled in an ornate front room, the other in the rear performance space, provide plenty of drinking options. Skip toxic cocktails in favor of one of 12 beers on tap, from Anchor Steam to Smutty Nose, or a taste of more than 20 bourbons. A can't-miss drinking destination the Bell House is not. But if a band draws you in, stick to a Booker's and you'll do fine.
