Bernie's Restaurant is Greenpoint's third place: there's work, there's home, and then there's Bernie's. It's where the neighborhood watches the game, takes their parents out to dinner, and celebrates birthdays, promotions, and midweek monotony with mozzarella sticks and a martini. Owners and neighborhood residents have cherry-picked the best parts of local joint nostalgia and are serving classic dishes and ice cold drinks with a smile and a quip. The menu is familiar, featuring a double cheeseburger, baked clams, vinegar chicken, and baby back ribs, which all taste much better than your memory serves.
