Dolly’s Swing and Dive reopened Friday, Oct. 9, at 146 Wythe Ave. Greenpointers confirmed the return on Oct. 13 after the Williamsburg bar spent four months closed.

The official Dolly’s site now lists daily hours from 2 p.m. to midnight. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Those hours make the place especially useful when late afternoon turns into an evening before anyone has agreed on a full plan.

Dolly’s first opened in 2019 and moved to Wythe Avenue in January, according to Greenpointers. It then closed temporarily in June. The Oct. 9 grand reopening puts the bar back on the same block where it had only recently settled.

That short history is worth knowing because a reopening can look like a completely new arrival if you only notice the lights. This is a return, not a debut. The practical news is simpler: The doors are open again, the address has not changed and the bar’s own site is publishing a current schedule.

No invented mood is needed here. Swing and Dive is in the name, but the sure details are the address, the hours and the reopening date. Let the room tell you the rest when you arrive.

If happy hour is the draw, confirm the schedule on the official site before heading over. Opening period hours can shift, and the useful local habit is to check once rather than discover a change at the door.

Williamsburg is good at giving a bar another chapter. Dolly’s has its next one now. Keep the plan easy: Choose the meeting time, send the address and see where the evening decides to go.
