If a late-night pizza-and-drinks spot is what you're after, look no further than this new business. Located at 1212 U St., the fresh arrival is called Brooklyn On U.

The two-floor bar and restaurant offers brick-oven pizzas, like a pesto pie, the margarita and the Al Capoe, topped with both sausage and pepperoni, plus jalapeños and mozzarella. There's also wings, tuna poke, a handful of salads and more.

The drinks menu is longer than the food. High-end vodkas, tequilas and whiskeys come straight or are mixed into cocktails, like the classic cosmopolitan or the house Crown Heights, which boasts Elijah Craig bourbon, cinnamon, lemon and blackberry.

With a four-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, Brooklyn On U has gotten a good response.

Justin D., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Feb. 21, wrote, "Only open for a week, so some fine details were missed, such as forgetting to put bacon on the side as requested. The cocktails are inventive, the food is very tasty, kitchen was a bit slow and the front-of-house staff was adequate."

Yelper Ramona H. added, “Really great service from the moment you walk in the door. The ambiance was trendy, with a live DJ and fresh flowers adorning brick walls and wooden tables. The mac and cheese may be the best I've had in the city in years.”

Interested? Stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood. Brooklyn On U is open from 5 p.m.–1 a.m. on Sunday-Thursday, and 5 p.m.–2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
