The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“Nice chill neighborhood spot to play games or hang out!

The staff is nice (even to someone’s kids who kept throwing water everywhere) and prices are good. It was somewhat busy in a Friday night around 8 but there was still plenty of seats available!“

“I've come here sporadically in the past but after joining a local climbing gym last year, I come here almost weekly.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know some of the folks by name. And every one of them is kind and welcoming.

I'm also a fan of the beers! I have multiple favorites. There's always something new to try and everyone behind the bar is very knowledgable.

Also Billy Bob has a dope playlist he plays from time to time. All hiphop. East coast, west coast, NOLA, Texas, so much love for all regions.
A beautiful thing.“

“We were a group of 23 to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and John, Alex, the staff could not have been more attentive and accommodating. The beer was awesome, the appetizers delicious, the venue just gorgeous, the music and the vibe so good!! We will be back again!“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Yer basic taproom, a bunch of their own great beers on draught and can, mix of lager, IPA and silly stout. Bar staff that know the beers.

The afternoon I visited there was a DJ on playing some light rock, a nice amount of background ambience without getting in the way of having a conversation.“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“​Nestled in this beautiful neighborhood, this bar is a true gem. The atmosphere is immediately captivating, with a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe setting the stage for a cozy and eclectic experience. Every corner seems to tell a story, leading you from the intimate indoor seating to a fantastic 'patio' that's perfect for a relaxed evening or hot late afternoon. The variety of beers on tap is great, offering local craft brews to international favorites. What truly elevates this place, however, is the barman. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, he makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can lose track of time ;)“

“Food was so authentic. It took me back to some of my favorite spots on St. Marks back when Japanese Restaurants were kind of hole in the wallish and actually owned and prepared by Japanese. Tonkatsu was super crispy and moist. Udon was clean with a true Japanese flavor not flavor packet garbage some restaurants are passing off these days. The curry udon was amazing. Chirashi was delicate, flavorful and fresh. Great staff. Loved it all. Will be back and soon.“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“Incredible selection of craft beer. Great vibe, close to many great places to eat, the Barclay Center, Gowanus. Heated outdoor beer garden.“

“I ordered a turkey burger on my lunch break, it came with fries and a pickle. It took about 15 minutes to make(which is exactly what they said) we love a punctual lunch! But the best part was the taste! Seriously the best turkey burger I've ever had. I went back to work and told everyone about it. If you are looking for a spot that has indoor seating, cocktails and beer, as well as great food, you should go here! Next time, I'm definitely dining in!“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“I live in Forest Hills and I’ve been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn’t taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don’t like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn’t think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn’t spending money and that my type shouldn’t be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return.“

“This is a very cool beer joint with large and interesting selection of beers. The place not your average beer bar, but rather a Starbucks that serves beer instead of coffee. This cool place to socialize and even to work. I gave 3 stars just because they serve good sandwiches, but not omg, but again it is just an option to have with an excellent beer.
The place is next to the local celebrity- Radio bakery, so if not in the mood to stay in a long line, or they run of their goodies, this place is a great substitution“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“A cute little bar with good drinks and really huge portions of truffle fries. The ambiance is fun and quirky. But somehow the acoustics of the place amplified the crowd noise so much that it was impossible to hear my friend sitting next to me.“

“I love this place for the affordable drinks and excellent entertainment provided by various talented Drag Queens and Drag Kings. Happy Hour is pretty cool. There’s stuff going on most nights. They have a Pool Table too and I believe starting a tournament soon.“

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

“I only got the falafel sandwich but OH MY DAYS was it good. First bite of that falafel:🤤 crunchy outside n moist interior. Listen man- they not cappin when they say it’s fresh here. The pita, the veggies, the falafel. I didn’t want it to end. HANDS DOWN BEST FALAFEL SAMMICH IN NY😮‍💨🔥🐗“

“Great for a magazine launch. Cult magazine“

“Great cocktails- short but well executed menu! Everything we had was presented beautifully, vibrant flavors and generous but not overlarge servings. We went two nights in a row! From California but staying at the Fairfield 2 blocks away....“

“Bartender Barrie was great love his energy, was very much giving come back again, and Becky front desk controlling pins great, love her energy they both need a raise they make ppl feel so comfortable and want to come back. very great at communicating with others, made us feel very welcomed definitely will come again and definitely told my friends about this place“

“Never had such enlightening experience before with one single bite. I visited here for an early birthday celebration with my familiar and romantic companion. We HAD 3 BULGOGI’S AND it was so so so good. Server with the glasses was so kind and made sure we had everything we need!!!!! 2 soju Bottles down already!!!!!

The whiskey being a double good good also is the quote of the century. A second visit is very much needed ❤️‍🔥“

“Hollow Nickel is a five star at its price point. Get the smash burger! Mark is a great bartender. He knows the good places in Brooklyn . Nice place to relax if you need a place to chill or recharge. Ask mark for places to go or places to eat.
Pay a visit!“

“Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Tres bonnes pizza de très bons plats Delicious gnocchis. Je le recommande“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“

“Amazing!! Great place ! Sports! Oysters! Craft Beer“

“Cracking little scottish pub. I went down for the Monday night "session," some great fiddlers, and a few songs. Very warm welcome when I shared a song and a drink on the house at the end of the night. Great crowd, and we even made a few new friends. Slàinte Mhath.“

“Coolest joint in the neighborhood“

“Great venue to let your hair down and enjoy live music. Drinks are very reasonable.“

“This is the original location of one of my favorite hazy breweries. We have tried them in dc and philly but this one is the best for beer in my opinion.

They have a tone of great unique hazies that are different rough to stand out amongst each other.

The first time we ever went here it wasn't too busy but over the last few years it has gotten packed. Its a big place but it fills up just as quickly.

A new part they added was the slider option which even has a good vegan option.

Overall some great hazy beers if that's what your into.“

“Great vibes and a good selection of craft beers. Plenty of local options as well as some fun imports. They've got pinball in the back if you're into that as well. Only complaint was that the music was maybe a hair too loud for my taste“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

“A quaint cozy place. Good food and drinks and great service. My friend has been there before and recommended it. I’ll definitely recommend it myself and return.“

“Fantastic food, service and prices“

“A nice neighborhood bar with a huge courtyard, the restrooms were clean, the alcohol selection isn't particularly wide, but if you're looking to drink a beer close to home, this is a great place, the staff are nice people at not expensive prices at all.“

“We had a great bottomless brunch at Limosneros. The food was plentiful and delicious and the drinks were tasty and strong. For $30/person you get an entree and bottomless mimosas/sangria or $41/person to include margaritas too. It was nice to mix and match drinks throughout too. It wasn’t very busy and the staff were generous in providing our group pitchers of the drinks to pour at our own pace. Would definitely recommend brunch here!“

“Overall rating: 4.8Such a great, chill spot that’s perfectly nestled in Bedstuy. I come here for the amazing happy hour and a bar crawl on a weekend date.If I lived in the area, I’d definitely become a regular here. Also love the names of the drinks. Very non-pretentious, yet not divey. Totally recommend if you live in the area or looking to try a new place.“

“I don’t know why this isn’t rated higher. This is an insanely good burger joint. The burger is savory and perfectly sauced with just a hint of pepperyness on the sauce that brings out a ton of flavor. The fries were perfectly golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.

The staff are super friendly and fun! The music is great. Seltzer water from the fountain machine!

And it’s open late-ish! Can’t beat it“

“Did you enjoy the period of time for this part of brooklyn from 2009- 2016? Cool, this place exists in a time warp and still has those exact vibes. Good for all night or hopping and popping down grand street. Tip your bartenders. RIP to diamond bar.“

“I wanted to grab some food and a few drinks on Thursday so some of my friends suggested
Freddy's bar and I have to say I tried their Philly cheesesteak quesadilla and tots it was amazing chef Mo really knows what he's doing in the kitchen. I just had one hiccup with a bartender I didn't catch her name but shes an older lady and has red hair, I'm not sure if she did it on purpose or not but every time I tried to order a drink it's like she looked right past me. After she left the bartender after her was attentive and nice I think his name is Lee he was pretty cool. Burlesque was fun. They also have this secret menu going on I'm definitely going to try it next time I just won't go as early.“

“I wanna start by saying that that’s where the good espresso is. Been going there from the day it opened since it’s pretty convenient from where i live. Had a chance to taste all the coffees and wine as well. Pretty good overall. At the beginning I didn’t know anyone in that coffee shop and since then everyone has been nothing but friendly to me. Simply Amazing!“

“The food was great and the service was great. It’s not a huge sour note, but the music was really loud. That would be fine, but it kept stopping, part of an ad would play, it would start back up, then change songs, then stop... Really a loud, random experience. It’s one of those “can’t they tell this is happening?” moments. In spite of that, I still recommend it for the food. Huge portions, tasty (but adding the hot sauce was kind of necessary).“

“Great local Thai restaurant with warm hospitality and great drinks!“
