Nice place to just chill and get a drink, bartender was really cool and kind, it’s a good neighborhood spot.
Parking: Parking in this neighborhood overall is terrible.

Tl;dr: Sucks to be blamed for a bartender’s credit card mistake, so I won’t be back.
Came in and ordered a round. Left my tab open and my card with the bartender, who was dealing with some issue on the phone. Went to close out after the round … and they didn’t have my card, or a tab for me.
I didn’t have the card. I asked them to look for it, and they did, halfheartedly, clearly insulted by my implication that they’d lost my card. They’d never lost a card in 9 years of bartending! Yeah, well, in 20 years of drinking out, no one’s ever lost my card, either.
Clearly they were not eager to find the card, or apologize, so I left my contact info and went home. Hours later, another bartender texted me: the original bartender had accidentally given my card to someone else, who’d returned it.
So the next night I truck across Brooklyn in the rain to recover my main form of payment. As I walk in, the original bartender is talking shit about me to another employee behind the bar: So incredulous I’d have the temerity to suggest they lost my card when … that’s exactly what happened. I ask original bartender for the card, and they slap it down on the bar. No hey, no sorry, no nothing.
Mistakes happen, I get it. I did get my card back. But being treated like a jerk, twice, for asking if they maybe coulda lost my card while distracted — which is what happened — means I won’t be coming back here. Which sucks. It’s a good bar.

Jill was the sweetest and most helpful bartender I've ever had. Between her and Bre, I've never experienced such a great time these women are amazing. The bar itself was a great vibe and so busy. Gotta
be my favorite bar in Brooklyn. Jill was the main reason for the bar getting the crowd it did. Fun people and good drinks. If you're in Brooklyn and want a great time, this is the place to find it. Thank you Bre and Jill. Love you both!!!

Aloof disinterested mean bartenders. One time I went in with my girl who was a new mom and she brought her baby, they played death metal in a sad passive aggressive way to get her out. This bar smells nasty and it’s full of finance and tech bros pretending to be not. It’s bad. It’s a bad bar. It’s just still open because it’s the only thing open. I cannot emphasize enough how awful the service is, how bad this bar smells, and how awful the crowd is. Garbage garbage garbage. I hope the owners lose hundreds of thousands of dollars and file bankruptcy. Awful. Don’t go here. Go anywhere else. So many other options.

it was fine. But they suckered us in saying they would put the fight on TV. Then when time came, the bartenders were all thumbs with the remote. Sadly, after buying ~15 drinks, they never put the fight on and my group had to leave for another bar. Bad experience.
Best music and local Brooklyn bar vibe
