Happy Hour at FancyFree in Fort Greene
FancyFree is the kind of easygoing Fort Greene pub you end up staying at longer than you planned. Opened by the team behind Endswell, it pairs a proper cocktail list with burgers, tacos, wings and fried bites in a bright, high-ceilinged room a block off Fulton. The back patio, complete with cornhole and Jenga, does a lot of the heavy lifting once the weather turns.
It doubles as one of the neighborhood’s go-to soccer bars, showing Arsenal, the Premier League, Champions League and Bundesliga matches, with Wednesday trivia and the occasional live set filling out the calendar. It’s a relaxed, welcoming spot, explicitly LGBTQ-friendly, that leans as much on its drinks and vibe as its kitchen.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour lands Monday through Friday, 3 to 7pm, with reduced pours on house lager, wine and cocktails plus discounted seasoned fries and nachos. It’s a bar-forward deal built for an after-work pint or an early-evening margarita before the room fills up for trivia or the next match.
The Room
A bright, high-ceilinged corner room with big windows up front and a games-friendly back patio out back. It reads casual and neighborly, equally suited to a solo pint at the bar or a group parked outside with cornhole.
