I was traveling with my high school age kid and his friends and Cory made us all feel welcome which I really appreciated! Highly recommend!“

“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 ? ?“

“jesus i cant wait til it's open. i love this place“

“This is my home away from home. Owners Provi & Oggie are absolutely amazing ! Hospitality on 10000. The bartenders are also amazing every single one of them.Kevin , Ashley , Heaven , Kayla , Angela & i behave there is one more women i can't remember her name or if i ever met her but i don't doubt she isn't amazing like the rest of the staff. They make me feel so welcome and noticed. Their food is so good but i LOOVEEEE their buffalo wings. Absolutely delicious shout out to the chef. Drinks always amazing. It's just such a home like vibe. Nice puerto rican spot in all of coney island ( it is the only one but i love it) i refuse to go anywhere else for my wings and their events are so cute. 20/10“

“Great burger when you want more than just a burger- it's topped off with an egg and avocado. Our waiter was a very nice young man who really tried to make sure we had a great experience. I'm sorry that his name escapes me right now. However I would go back if only to be waited by him again. Besides, if they could make a burger so special, I can't wait to try their specialties.“

“Delicious varieties of Suya. Great tasting jallof. wonderful music. anytime I'm in Brooklyn, I will be making sure to stop by.“

“The Chef was off the hook!!“

“For a bar, their food is delicious“

“We came in on a Saturday with a larger group with no notice after another bar messed up our reservation. The bartender was awesome, extremely accommodating, the drinks were delicious, the space with dope, and the empanadas were great. Thank you!“

“My first time in Brooklyn in decades and Frying Pan made me feel right at home! Sophia made feel like a regular and took great care of me. Everyone couldn't have been nicer and the food was excellent! The Connecticut Lobster Roll is the way to go and you'll feel like a part of the community!“

“Definitely a neighborhood favorite! The food is excellent, with a chef-created menu and very interesting signature drinks. I highly recommend you try it. The prices are lower than those at other neighborhood bars. It's a must-visit for sure. Watermelon salad with a steak and smoked in-house whiskey with a sticky toffee pudding was the best!“

“My new neighborhood bar! Great staff. Reasonable drink priced. Great music!“

“Great time last night, spent about $75 for two people - two rounds of drafts and three menu items (bar food). Great atmosphere with NBA playoffs on multiple TVs, one even had hockey. Didn’t catch the bartender’s name but he was fantastic and handles everything, we nicknamed him “Dawson” after my girlfriend’s favorite football player.“

“Dash and Sean are the best bartenders in the hood“

“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.“

“Was in Brooklyn/NYC on a sort of vacation and didn't want to sit around bored in my hotel room, so I Googled up this place. Small bar, small venue. Very relaxed and comfortable (and it is a bar, so it's loud). Wish the backroom wasn't as roasting as it was, but outside of that, it was just what the doctor ordered.“

“Nice bar, good selection, billiards and darts.“

“One of the few places is NY to get fried okra. No pretension, truly friendly service. It’s a gem.“

“The service and food is amazing. Highly recommend.“

“Old school. Well done. My youth“

“The Pina cola special drink was delicious! it tasted like coquito too. The loaded nachos did not disappoint!“

“I had to take one star off for food because I can no longer get my deviled egg craving sated here. It’s not their fault.

—Our economy is the best it’s ever been. Such a good economy. How lucky are we to live in such a great economy.—

Aside from that utter failing, I can honestly say that The Starlight feels like a second home. It’s warm, divey, the barstools are just the right amount of uncomfortable. As you’re fidgeting, you get the attention of the best bartenders in Brooklyn. You get people who fall in love with you and care about your life. You get served a beer and a shot and a side of compassion for whatever you are going through the night you happen to show up.

Anthony and Leia are the OGs. My heart gets happy when I walk in the door and see their faces. And admittedly, though I can’t list their names, every other bartender I’ve met here has made space for me and been some good craic.

If you find yourself stumbling around the Metro L/G stop, come in. Meet some friends, have some drinks. The Starlight is more than worth your time.“

“The owners are great and so welcoming, tasty drinks (especially the margaritas) and consistently delicious food! Always a relaxed warm vibe at this great local bar & restaurant!“

“Great vibe all around. A bar playing Scorsese’s ‘After Hours’ is high on my list. Terrific sandwiches.“

“great place . great people“

“Quite literally the best time ever! I had the shittiest week and Pam and Tay completely lifted my mood. Kevin brought the brightest smile to my face at the door. And one of the regulars here, Cesar, was one of the kindest souls I’ve encountered. The entire staff is so welcoming - also had the greatest hair. Truly felt like family here. This is the spot you need to be!!!!! Felt like a piece of home here.“

“It’s rare to find such friendly bartenders - this place has it! Such a chill vibe and great draaaanks!“

“It a friendly nice place to be at Eze he is cool and respectful and the bar tender she is great I would recommend others to go there and buy out the bar and the food and have them self great fun 🤩 I give this place a five stars 🌟“

“I got married at Giando on the Water. Several of my guests booked stays at hotel 42. This review is specifically for the restaurant staff and front desk. We did our welcome reception in the restaurant/lounge Cellar 42 and it was wonderful. The drinks, food, music and service was top notch. We even had a family breakfast the day after the wedding. Even if you're not staying at the hotel i would recommend booking your next gathering at Cellar 42!“

“Food was great entertainment was great the waiters was excellent. I will be back again.“

“On our recent trip to NYC/Brooklyn, we eat at Karavan and it was by far one of our favorite meals. The staff is kind and welcoming, offering wonderful hospitality. The atmosphere is lovely and family friendly. And it’s very clean. The food!… incredible. Everything is fresh, homemade, deliciously seasoned, and was unique to us. The meat dumplings were amazing; they had a sweet and savory filling and were steamed to perfection. The lamb kebabs and chicken were perfectly cooked, wonderfully seasoned and so juicy. The salad was so fresh and we loved the dill and feta mixed in. All in all, just a wonderful and memorable meal. We’ll be back on our next visit to the city!“

“GREAT VIBE EVERY TIME I GO THERE NOW OPEN 7day a week even for happy hour“

“Great atmosphere Helen is very nice inviting a grown and sexy lounge“

“I went there with my family to celebrate a birthday. We all enjoyed our appetizers however the entrées were not so great, not bad just okay. The mac & cheese/Macaroni pie tasted like an amateur made it. Mashed potatoes hardly had any garlic flavor. We ordered plantain and four pieces were literally black - they can't be sweet anymore. We had bread pudding for dessert. It was extremely dry and almost tasteless. Not to mention we waited almost 20 minutes for it after the order was placed. The service and the staff was quite pleasant and very engaging. The preparation of the food could use some work. The drinks were really good. I can't say that I will return however I would recommend you trying it for yourself.“

“I had a great time at this establishment. Food was fantastic. Music was on point. Service was cheerful and friendly and the comedians were hilarious. Definitely will keep going back to this spot!“

“Space offers a refreshing alternative to the limited event scene in Brooklyn. The management collaborated with us for our event, even providing additional amenities that I was unable to procure independently. Their accommodating nature was commendable.“

“I don't think this place serves food anymore. I am always in for a good cash bar that is run by a family. The family is at the bar, and they want you to enjoy yourself. The drinks are reasonably priced in a part of Brooklyn that seems to be going upscale quickly.“

“Awesome food and an even better beer selection. And the service (talking to you, Tommy) is amazing!!“

“We can't recommend Salty Dogs party room enough. It's absolutely stunning, spacious, fantastic service, amazing and delicious food (as quoted by my sons for their Communion party the best mozzarella sticks, pizza, chicken fingers and crispiest fries in Brooklyn). It was big enough for all our guests to have room to move around and not feel crowded, the buffet food option is amazing, everyone can have a taste of anything they want and there was almost a never ending amount of food.“
