large tikki bar with a variety of cocktails and meal options. I got a chicken sandwich with fries and a piña colada, loved it!

Unexpected stop at Abe's for a quick drink before Brooklan. Very cool laid back vibe. So when you sit in a seat like the one I took a picture of below no one comes up to you. That's the only downside to service. You'd have to go up to the bar and order. Drinks were pretty good for happy hour. The food was even better! Buffalo wings were sooo tasty and HUGE, which is so worth it. The chicken sandwich was also very good. I will say that salad blows all of it out the water! Not only was it all so fresh, it was huge! I just never expected Sugar Snap Pea, Edamame, Red Watercress, Pea Tendrils, Horseradish, Black Sesame, & Yuzu Kosho Ranch to be such a mind blowing combo! 10/10 recommend!

Well concocted cocktails in typical Brooklyn bar. Price per cocktail was fair ($16) and fairly sweet and easily drinkable. Got the Lychee Marina and Blue Hawaii. Personally enjoyed the lychee marina cocktail but it was present in a different glass than marketing on the menu (which was a bit of a letdown). Three small rooms divided with a small hallway in between the entrance/bar, DJ area/booths, and pool area/booths. The booths by pool tables ($2 a play) were poorly laid out - be mindful that the space is narrow and if you will bump into whomever is playing. My experience docked because of the reason above. Otherwise, cocktails were good and the space was chill - I would say it's a ~4 star bar in the area.

Drinks and food are good. Needs to be a bit cleaner but good Bushwick tiki spot.

Relatively low prices as far as NYC bars are concerned, so that is always a plus. The somewhat spacious, stylish (in a glam rock way, not a society way) bar fills up with people on weekend nights especially, but their happy hour deals are worth trying. The food is consistently decent. I've had their fried chicken sandwich several times and just tried the Yakitori Momo (grilled chicken skewers), priced at $10, last night. Is it a lot of food? No, it's more of a snack, but it was good and paired well with the sweet chili sauce they served alongside it. The menu is varied enough that I would think it includes something for most people. They have pool tables in the back as well as more seating. It's always rather dark, which is comfortable. DJs man the helm regularly, and it's a bit loud, but you can still attempt conversation. Overall, I think Abe's is one of the better hangouts in Brooklyn, and, as it's kitty-corner from the L train at Dekalb, it's not hard to find.

This place is FANTASTICCC. Yes. I said it. The best cauliflower “wings” I’ve ever had and best crab rangoon I’ve ever had. Crispy crispy goooons made with real Blue Crab with the sweet chili sauce with fancy julienned peppers and sesame seeds for dipping goodness. Gochujang cauliflower wings were juicy, crispy, sweet and spicy and ugh just perfection. Also had the Elote rolls. INCREDIBLE. The cheese pull was perfection. Lychee froze for the drink. PERFECTION. 10/10.

I just LOVE this place!!! Great service, food, prices and vibes! The best bar in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Don't pass by without stopping in for a drink and great food. I'm actually going back after work for their amazing wings. SOOOO YUMMY!!! Very satisified customer. :) :)

This place is awesome! Tiki style ambiance with great music and great vibes. Drinks are expertly crafted and bartenders are on it. The only thing better is the food! Menu is a little Asian with elevated traditional bar items. Chicken sandwich is off the hook! Also, can play pool while live DJ gets down. Gotta check this one out!
We decided to grab drinks here on a weekday after many, many mentions about how much of a vibe this spot was. Located in Bushwick (close to a station I may add) Abe’s Pagoda is definitely a vibe. Ambient red lighting, a big bar, and enough seating in the front and the back to go with a group this spot seems to check all the boxes for a laid back bar. It also boasts a kitchen that makes a variety of dishes. For this trip we tried the fries and their glazed cauliflower. Five stars all around. Drinks were reasonably priced and staff were very attentive. Come here for a laid night back with friends or that special someone.Vegetarian options: Glazed cauliflower dish available!

This fusion of Tiki Bar meets Club, would've been enjoyed when I out to clubs more. I came here with a few friends and think the cocktails are on point. Even more, I've heard the food is good here! Can't wait to come back someday soon.

Gonna level with you, this was the third location of the night. I don't remember a ton of details. There's a jukebox, but it is for decoration. They have drinks. The decor is remarkable.
