Welcome to Broadway Stages’ Spotlight, where we feature local shops, restaurants, organizations, individuals, and venues. We encourage our readers to join us in supporting these establishments and advancing local economic growth.

At the corner of Nassau Avenue at McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint is Jucy Lucy, a  down-to-earth gastropub with friendly service, and a cool atmosphere that offers delicious, affordable food, drink, and fun. Jason S., from Brooklyn, says, “I love this place! Great food, cheap drinks, good music, nice staff, and a really cool ambiance. Highly recommend!”

Groups can convene inside at the long bar or at tables and enjoy a variety of events broadcast on the bar’s seven big screens. Customers can also take advantage of the free Air Hockey table during a break in the action! Or, if you want to focus on socializing, your group can hold court on the spacious patio where there is ample seating for groups and umbrellas to provide shade.

To keep the mood festive, Jucy Lucy offers 16 beers on draft, including New York State brews, Blue Point Brewing, and Catskill. They sell a few hard seltzers from Bud Light and Founders and have a full bar. Patrycja from Queens highly recommends the Hibiscus Ginger Mules! In keeping with their theme of affordability, the bar offers Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m.

We would be remiss if we didn’t expound on the menu. Jucy Lucy has bar appetizers like nachos, chicken tenders, onion rings, and soft pretzels. They also have fried ravioli, a popular dish from St. Louis, hot dogs, sandwiches, and flatbreads. But the featured items are the 4 oz burgers, which come in singles, doubles, and triples. For vegetarians, a veggie burger comes with tzatziki sauce and pita. And, of course, there is the Jucy Lucy, two patties stuffed and oozing with cheese, for $12. For the complete menu, click HERE.

Currently, Jucy Lucy opens at 4 pm Wednesday through Friday and at 3 pm on the weekends. Closing time comes at 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays, until midnight on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 11 pm on Sundays. For news about upcoming specials and featured sporting events, be sure to follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

Katherine H. said it best, “As a beer snob, I was thrilled with the list and variety of beer (and spirits), and everything we ordered tasted great. I’m broke, so I was also happy that I could afford beer and a snack.”

Broadway Stages loves being part of a neighborhood with many dining and socializing options. And with so many choices, we are thrilled that Jucy Lucy is affordable and accommodating. We hope you stop by soon for a burger and a brew, and when you do, be sure to tell them Broadway Stages sent you!
