50 Best Bars near Broad Channel

“I went here with a group of friends. It is a small intimate bar. They occasionally have a kitchen that serves homemade dishes. Lots of inexpensive bottles of icy cold beers, as well as mixed drinks. There is a pool table and a dart board, music from cd's. I had fun but I knew a lot of people in the bar. Very friendly staff. They also have "guest bartender night". A frequent patron acts like the bartender for the evening.“

“Such a fun experience! Axe throwing was more challenging than I expected but thankfully their staff helped make corrections so we were able to get the hang of it! The staff is super friendly and very encouraging and attentive. It was a wonderful time trying something new and totally out of our element. I would definitely recommend this location! =) have fun!“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“Excellent cocktails, excellent service, and excellent atmosphere! 10/10“

“We had our wedding dinner at Panzon-- and it rocked! Could not be happier with how it turned out.

We did a full venue rental and held a cocktail hour followed by family style dinner. David, the owner, was super responsive and helpful planning the menu and event. Staff, service, and food were amazing the whole night. Big recommend!“

“Great sandwich app was a little qurkie nice place would read“

“Good oysters and a happy hour that runs until 7pm. The oysters were fresh and while I’m not a huge fan of red sauce I did enjoy the freshly shaved horseradish. That and a few other small Spanish plates and $12 martinis made this a pleasant low key early evening out“

“Look, there are a million bars in New York. But few of them have a soul. You can feel the intention behind everything at Bar Americano from the weight of the glassware to the garnish on the drink to the playlist. They care about the little things that make up the whole experience. It's the kind of place you bring an out of town friend to show them what a real Brooklyn bar feels like. Easily one of the best no question, I kinda became like the michelin guys reviewing these XD.“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“My beautiful Grand daughter studied for the GMAT there. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich. The bathroom was nice I washed my hands. My beautiful grand daughter took a shot of whiskey then rode a bus LOL anyhoo great time in Brooklyn for all it was also Halloween and this fun loving grandma dressed as a cat. Then I chased my husband Roger around for some fun LOL I recommend coming here during the day esp sundays very nice reminds me of Ireland and I have ancestors there“

“Beautiful bar and people , I felt at home and am new to the area but enjoy and recommend. I am impressed.“

“The food is just the best.“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“My favorite spot in Brooklyn.“

“LOVE this place. I don't come often, but every time I have, I've had a great experience. Chicken fingers are pretty great ?, and bartender Sean (not Shaun or God forbid Shawn ?) is super friendly and makes awesome drinks! I've sat outside, and the service out there is awesome, too! Great vibe, all around. Oh, and the 70's music is outstanding! An extra bonus ? ?“

“I finally checked out this bar after living here on and off for years. Nice and chill spot. Very cute and dimly lit inside with board games and pinball machines to play which I found extremely unique. The highlight of my night was meeting the bartender, Dee. She was adorable and very sweet. She's very welcoming and accomoodating and extremely friendly.“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“Best Bloody Mary! Best Saturday play list! Great bar! ❤️“

“Great Experience ~ Nice Atmosphere, Fabulous Food and Staff , we will be back !“

“Seriously one of the best restaurants/bars I’ve been to. The service was unbelievable and the owner actually served us (we later found out he was the owner and were shocked). We told him we were celebrating our anniversary and he helped us so we had a longer reservation.
The live DJ was so good and we shazamed so many songs that he played off of the records.
Such a great date night spot for the atmosphere and the food was amazing. Small menu but every single thing on it was amazing.
The wine was tasty, the drinks different but exciting. Would recommend the sole e vento white wine, the coa de jima drink, and the cold sesame noodles specifically.
There is also a really cute outdoor area with an outdoor bar!
Overall 12/10 and would most definitely return.“

“Amazing. Stay away so there's more room for us.

If you do sneak in 😂 you will find friendly people serving OUTSTANDING food (small, careful menu) in a house that Jazz built.

Jazz folks this is the real deal. Everyone else should just come and enjoy the magic of live music.

Pro tip: come early for a seat for the 1st set or arrive late to get a seat by the 2nd set (most likely).

Vegetarian options: Small menu so check beforehand. My 2 vegetarians were fine.

Parking: If you circle they will appear

Kid-friendliness: If they like jazz (and can be quiet during the music) no problem!“

“Great cocktail cool neighborhood vibe“

“They don’t really have food so no rating on that. Great local vibey place. Lots of seating indoor and out, even if it’s a small place. Great DJs and music. People actually dance even though it’s not a club. Security is nice. More of a grab a drink with friends place and listen to music than cocktail bar or club. My go to place on Fulton. Swing by the halal cart after in front of the Franklin station.“

“Solid bar with solid popups. Follow @better_than_porridge and see when she'll show up there if you want food, and real damn good food at that too.

Bartenders are always on their A game and awesome people. Even better - dogs allowed so you can pet everyone else's dogs“

“The music is always good, people are fun, bartenders are friendly, decor is pretty metal and punk oriented, a fun place to go to.“

“Great concept. Drinks were on point, bartender was on top of things. Quick serve cocktails with complexity that would take 10x the time to build from scratch . Small quaint space, an expansion is in smart move in the future.“

“Kent Ale House in Brooklyn 🤌 The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a great selection of beers (Kent Pilsner 🔥) and a menu that hits the spot for casual dining. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the incredible service. Siobhan is an absolute star—attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a fantastic experience. She went above and beyond to ensure our group was well taken care of, even during a busy bar with England playing rugby. If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes and top-notch service, Kent Ale House is the place to go. Siobhan 🫶“

“High expectations, but not impressed with this visit. Wednesday early dinner , 7/23/25, 5pm.
No issue with availability and service, very attentive.
Chicken dish with sauce ok, but asparagus flimsy and green bean sized while mashed potatoes served ice cream scoop and lacking in flavor.
Long awaited favorite of mine, fish and chips.
Fish better than most in area, still lacking in wow factor while the (chips) were a flimsy mess , no crisp or seasoning.
As to beer, Stella was fine but Blue Moon dark and flat.
Better luck next time.“

“I got booze and it was good, my liver hurts, let's get naked“

“The staff here is unbelievably kind, seriously, so nice 😊
Huge thanks for the cocktails; I had such a great time!
The music? It felt like they were playing my personal playlist 🎶 haha
And that salad 🥗 was surprisingly delicious, fresh, flavorful, perfect.
Don’t even get me started on the amaretto sour… 😅 so good!“

“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.“

“Came for the all night happy hour. First time visiting & will come again. Love the vibe. Fun, layed back & friendly. They didn't serve food but was able to get pizza from Rosie's and eat it at the bar while enjoying more drinks! Great buy 1 get 1 free... can save your free drink ticket for another day if you want.“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“Great atmosphere, great service, and good drinks.“

“Easily my favorite bar in Brooklyn!
Great vibe, super queer, unique indie games (that are 100% free!!! Barcade could never) and cheap drinks. During happy hour u can get two drinks for like $12-$16.
The hot dogs are a nice touch also, good way to pace ur drinking. The shallot of the colossus tastes like heaven after a couple drinks lol.
I love wonderville, it’s a great place to bring friends or a date. It’s a real gem that I hope thrives forever :)“

“Amazing food! Highly recommended! One of the best food menus in the neighborhood!“

“Last month we held a surprise birthday party for my daughter there and it was great! The staff was great, the drinks were amazing, and the manager was incredible. She was very accommodating and welcoming. Give her a raise!! I’ll definitely be back! Their double margaritas are LIFE!“

“Local hangout with tasty drinks!“

“The bartender Pam!!! She makes me want to come back… the people are soo welcoming and the men! Pure GENTLEMEN!! Will def be coming back PAM IS A DOLL AND WILL LOOK OUT FOR THE LADIES!! Thank you Pam she was soo comforting I for one will be back!!!“

“The food is amazing! We had the mussels, Brussels sprouts, artichoke hearts, chicken, shepherd’s pie, fish sandwich, and burger. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was so much fun. Really had a laugh at the bathroom with all the googly eyes.“

“Generally I only come here for brunch, the food measures between fine to good. The full English breakfast slaps. The service is chill yet superb. Dog friendly! and a great spot to escape the annoying crowd of social media colonizers. Probably my favorite sports bar yet I don’t follow sports.“

“Nice place to unwind and enjoy great service from the awesome bartender's Shorn and Linval. Those drinks are amazing very punching. (Rum Punch)“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter in law at the Silverlight Tavern and everything was absolutely 10 Star Perfect!! The food, the party room, the bartender and the management were all so wonderful and made our event the perfect opening for a fantastic wedding weekend! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, as were the drinks and the service. We really loved our experience there while visiting our family in Floral Park.“

“Soooooo this was one of my best finds for a local spot to have drinks along with a few bites to eat. I had the pleasure of being served by Carlos and Kevin. Amazing staff members who have made my experience here at Altar one to remember. I’ll definitely be back here to explore their fabulous drink menu. And the Tartare paired with the fries was amazing. Carlos, the manager and bartender made all drink to perfection. I’ll definitely be back to explore this beautiful gem. Thanks to all the staff who have made this a wonderful experience.“

“Excellent food. I usually don’t trust fusion food but they do it right. Authenticity in Korean flavors with western interpretations.
Can’t speak so much for drinks since I don’t drink, but vibes are great, food is amazing - also love how there is a specific sequence to the food. It’s very carefully curated.“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“This is such a cute restaurant that's conveniently located right by the tram and subway at Roosevelt Island. The decor is cozy with whimsical items that reminds you of a fictional granny's house. I've been here twice, once for drinks and brunch. The service was friendly both times, this seems to be a regular spot for people who live on the island. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're visiting Roosevelt Island.“
