Master Critic Review

We Got Company 7.9
Williamsburg
We Got Company is a small, design-minded cocktail bar where daily happy hour, thoughtful drinks, and a short snack menu skew more mellow than party. It’s a strong choice when you want serious cocktails without blasting music, especially before moving on to busier Williamsburg spots.
Must-Try Dishes: BBQ Mixed Nuts, Antipasto Plate, Tequila Chocolate Balls

What makes it special: Cocktail-focused happy hour with low-key music and snacky plates.
Who should go: Cocktail lovers preferring quieter, intimate pre-dinner drinks.
When to visit: Early evening happy hour before 7pm to avoid peak waits.
What to order: House cocktails, antipasto plate, tequila chocolate balls for dessert.
Insider tip: Sit at the bar; it’s easiest to chat with bartenders about specials.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; plan for a few laps or use a nearby garage on weekends.
Dress code: Smart casual to trendy casual — jeans are fine, but most guests skew stylish.
Noise level: Low to moderate — quiet enough for real conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak happy hour without a reservation
Weekday lunch: Not applicable — this is primarily an evening bar
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — small but solid selection of vegetarian bar snacks.
Vegan options: Limited — drinks are easy, but food options are sparse.
Gluten-free options: Limited — cocktails are mostly safe, but snacks are not reliably GF.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — the calm vibe, low music, and polished cocktails make it ideal for conversation and easing into the night.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes early in the evening, but tables fill fast after 7pm — bar seating turns over more frequently.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really — this is an adults-focused cocktail bar with no kid-oriented menu or setup.
Best For
Better for: Quiet, thoughtful cocktail happy hours where conversation matters more than party energy.
Consider Alternatives If: You want loud music, dance-floor vibes, or large group party energy.
