Our favorite nachos in Williamsburg

Nachos are not an easy dish to master, and that can cause a lot of frustration. Some may even say there’s no greater disappointment than getting ready to demolish a plate of ‘chos with friends (or solo), only to find that they either lack cheese, have an inadequate distribution of toppings, or some other culinary mess up causing them to just not be good. Fortunately, this is a totally avoidable problem, and all that you really need to do is be in the “nacho-know,” aka know where to go for ‘chos. And, if you find yourself in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, then you are in some serious luck, because below is a breakdown of the top nacho spots in town!

One Stop Beer Shop 134 Kingsland Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222
So you’ve got a show to catch at Brooklyn steel. Or maybe you don’t and you’re just really in the mood for a delicious bowl of nachos. Yes, bowl. Either way, you’ll probably find yourself at One Stop Beer Shop. And I can promise you, it really is the only stop you need to make. These chos combine ballpark style tortilla rounds with BBQ style pulled pork, and it doesn’t end there. They come covered in the freshest toppings including a heaping glob of sour cream and an equally healthy serving of guac. Just be sure to save some of that goodness for the bottom layer of chips that gets a little ignored! Pair with a delicious cocktail or choose from an obviously awesome selection of beers, and you will be perfectly content.

That’s how I discovered Teddy’s – the oldest continually operating bar in all of Brooklyn, right in our backyard! They serve up a classic dish of ‘chos that’s super well layered with all the desired toppings. They’re large enough to split multiple ways, and if that’s still not enough, you can opt for the loaded version!

Let’s just say they will seriously make you think twice about ever going for that late night slice of pepperoni again, as you will finally understand late night chos are where it’s really at.
