Pony's: Cocktails, Brooklyn, NYC

Created by co-owners Elana Shvalbe and Michael Furac, Pony's operates as a Red Hook cocktail bar and café where the interior is arranged to feel like a living-slash-dining room. Custom furniture crafted by friends fills the room, accompanied by spirits aged in an 18th-century style still, fat-washed peanut butter rum, and house-made gin alternatives. The menu pairs these unexpected beverage options with traditional Ukrainian-Latvian small plates and a French-inspired dessert selection featuring nougat glacé.
