I think everyone here on a Saturday night is on blow and the music can be too loud. But cheap drinks and convenience are what really matters, which Coco's definitely provides.

If you like to get all nice and sweaty dancing to doo wop and boogy woogy oldies in a big room with a disco ball and some couches and a few fine looking ladies, then you'll think this is the greatest bar on earth. Which it pretty much is.
CoCo 66 rules. I love this bar. It's dark and lound and sleazy in the front; with the nice kids playing ping pong in the back. Bartenders rule and the pool table is really sweet and generally clique-free, which helps; you do not feel like you can never get a game, know what I mean?. What more could you ask for in a local Brooklyn bar? Okay, music could be turned down a tad, but you can always just sit in the middle part if you want to talk. Perfect bar.
It's not in the most convenient location in Brooklyn but once you arrive you'll realize it was worth the trip. coco66 is much bigger than you'd imagine for a bar in the area. The really cool surprise is that you don't even realize there is an ENTIRE second half of the bar until you walk into it [and there are two street entrances to either half!]
I went on a night that my friend was DJing, while the other half played really cool and fun music - a great way to seek variety from room to room . The crowd is chill and diverse, varying in age, scene, etc. coco66 is seriously huge: it goes further and further back until you reach a large seating area that is great for groups. I definitely recommend this bar, you may bump into me there in the near future!
This place and it's same-owner and fancier neighbor are leading the recent build-up of nightlife in Greenpoint. It is located near the corner of Franklin Street and Greenpoint Avenue (just over a block from the later's G-Train station). There are several other bars in this immediate area.
There's a bar up front with decent prices, a larger seating area in the middle, and a dance area and stage in the back. It's essentially a railroad (as in the apartment style).
I've been there about four times now and the music always seemed pretty good. I think there's a pretty good chance my rating will go up as I visit more frequently!
Spacious, cool bar - darts, foosball, tennis table/ping pong or pool tables (plural!) in other rooms - beautiful, baby. Nice beer on tap, drink specials, and friendly, easygoing people. This is a good place to go on your own, too.

Girl walks into a bar. It's chill, cool vibe. She orders a Hoegaarten on tap, meanders to the back and realizes it's merely an antechamber which opens into a second room with a pool table. She thinks, "So much space for New York, wow." She then sees another illuminated doorway, beckoning. She enters face shining cast by the glow of the xbox screen (!!), almost tripping on an overzealous ping pong player and stumbling past the darts line. The labyrinth winds to the left revealing a smaller room with a dj blasting some form of confused electronica. She retreats to the front room to the sounds of pulsating 80's hits which make way to contemporary beats that have people joyfully dancing on booths even though the aisles are clear. She likes this, and sip merrily on.
2 cocktails + a beer = $17 + pool + xbox + darts + ping pong + boogie = easy math, baby. 5 stars, of course.
Cuz that's how Brooklyn do.

I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this bar. It's roomy (a long front room, a room in the middle, a big room in the back). It's cute. There's a lot of seating. It's a bit pricey, but not ridiculously so. The bartenders are attentive. The vibe is nice.
The best thing about it, for me, is that smokers aren't corralled into a fenced off section a block away. I know that smoking is a disgusting and bad habit, but yes, some of us idiots still do it, and it's awesome that Coco 66 is all like, "Yeah, whatever, smoke outside the door, just don't take your drinks off the loading dock." They've made a Coco 66 lover out of me.

I have a string of 5 star'rs lately, and need to find something to bash QUICK STYLE, but I gotta give credit where 'tis due - Coco 66 rules! I ended a Greenpoint bar crawl here last Saturday evening, and was shocked by this spot's unabashed awesomeness. It's quite large, and basically has 3 rooms that fall one behind the next from the doorway on in. The front room sports a large bar and a DJ playing the anthems of hipster nation (think Scissor Sisters shaking hands with Billy Idol and Pat Benitar). They bar was also serving $3 bud lights until around midnight, and they had 2 bar tenders so the waits were never long though the place was packed. Though the crowd looked like those kinda agro hipsters we all love to hate, everyone was actually really fun and nice. We danced, mingled, shook a groove thang, baby, oh yeah. In the rooms further back, they have a pool table in the first, then darts, ping pong, and foosball in the way back. It's like a dorm room for kinda sorta grown ups that really aren't all that gown up. But that is FUN! I got into some highly competitive ping pong matches with a few guys that were really good, and capped the evening off with a raucous dance-a-thon with my buddies. Good times were had by all and I look forward to returning to this fine place at a drinking occasion in the immediate future.

I've got nothing but love for Coco 66. The front is dark and cool, the barmaids are sweet and sociable, the drink specials are the best in town, the pingpong area is spacey and homelike, the pool table is level, the seating is ample, and there's plenty of room for illegal dancing if the spirit moves you. The outside loading dock thing allows us smokers to drink and smoke and make a pal all at the same time. The music can be a bit loud but is mostly 60s and postpunk crowd-pleasers. Cocos could do with fewer macho dudes on thur-fri-sat, but they wouldn't be there if it weren't for the va-va-va-voom eye candy. !three thumbs up!

From the outside, it looks like a club. You get in, go up to the bar, and it still looks like a club. You get your drink and walk to the back room, and yup, blacklights, and ... wait, foosball? Ping-pong? Darts?
Something about judging books by their covers comes to mind.
When I lived further up in Greenpoint, I was in Coco 66 quite frequently to shoot a short film (and on days when we needed a break). Based on the decor, you'd think they would be more expensive- but they're reasonably priced and the bartenders are great. I don't know if Rachel still works there but she is the sweetest.
Always a good music selection, too.
Nice atmosphere, pool table, ping pong, good music. The drinks here are pricier than other places in the near vicinity, but I still come here quite a bit because it tends to be easier to get a place to sit, particularly on weekends.
You'll find it by the big neon sign that says "BAR", plus a crowd of smokers just outside the door.

somehow coco's managed to pull off a cute bar that's also got a huge game area-- with ping pong, foosball and a pool table. what more could you want? oh, and there's a neat fake fireplace too.

It might take you a while to find Coco 66, but you may have found it already, and just didn't know it was called Coco 66. If you're on the street at say 2PM, you'd never know it was a bar, and chances are you won't until after you've had a few at one of the places down there by the water. But you get done with your draft and decide to head across the street to the place you "think" might be a bar, and you walk in, and its you. It's your kind of place. It fits you, so you sit and order something. Just a beer, reasonably priced, and then you hear someone order something like the Screaming Mozart, and you discover the secret, hidden underbelly of chocolate infused inebriation. Or you just pick up some matches and read the name.
