“Alyrie, thank you for all of your guidance and encouragement throughout this incredibly fun activity. We couldn't have done it without you.

Best coach ever!! 🎉

Shootout to Chris for getting us in to throw the axe and shurieken!“

“We sat at the bar and were served by Chiara, who gave us impeccable recommendations. Everything was outstanding. The flavors were bold, but the combinations made every dish feel light and refreshing, including the dessert. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the playlist was excellent!“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Riley and Elizabeth did a great job helping us understand the scope of the menu and what we could enjoy based of our dietary restrictions. I can tell the restaurant is well managed and the servers/bar keep that same beat. This is a can’t miss spor“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“You have to try the Korean Fried Broccoli OMG! I’m a stickler for steak so I usually have the Steak and fried egg. If you like it rare like me just ask for it black n blue.“

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

“Delicious wood fired pizza with amazing toppings including vegan options. Wonderful, cozy environment and eclectic playlist. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“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!“

“Creative fun dishes and bev list.“

“This bar is SUCH a delight. Our server, Elise, absolutely tuned into our group’s vibe and made the whole night feel so special. This place really knows how to make you feel seen. Food was also delish (oysters & seafood spreads were soooooo good!), and drinks were solid and creative. But cannot overstate the vibe. A bar where you can hear your friends, have good drinks, and be incredibly charmed by the staff is not often found. Would recommend to a million friends!“

“Cute atmosphere, would’ve been nicer if we were seated outside. The Kanpachi Crudo was delicious, fish was fresh my choice of cocktail (House vermouth) though came pretty sweet and I couldn’t finish it. Overall a hard 4.2 stars!“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

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

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

“Place was super lively. Didn't try the food, so we can't soak on that, but we did order two drinks, and they got the order wrong. They fixed it eventually, and both were underwhelming. Decor was nice and the vibes were on point. Next time we'll stick with the classics and maybe try the food.“

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

“Absolute necessary stop if in the neighborhood of worth a drive/ride if outside 👍“

“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“

“This is a great new place. Great Atmosphere, Awesome Music, and Outstanding staff! Highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area!“

“Great spot for watching World Cup , sat on curbside and watch the game beer selections is great same as the food but the best part is services Hunter is so kind and took a good care of us . If you want to hang out in Bedford this is the spot get the outside seat and watch the game with millions dollars views .“

“Not my first time there and won’t be the last.

Staff was knowledgeable and displayed the middle eastern warmth and hospitality.

Chef Soroosh gracefully sent us some complimentary items to perfectly pair with our dishes.

From the menu to the service. Everything was on point.

Thank you Sawa!“

“Absolutely adore Swoony’s. The place is charming and welcoming and the service is fantastic. Hands down one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC and a must try for any burger lovers. It really is uncanny (and delicious) how much the burger tastes like a grown up version of McDonalds. I will go back for it. The whipped goat cheese and wedge salad are fantastic. Don’t sleep on the dirty martini and ask for their blue cheese olives in it.“

“Great fresh food. Amazing service. Drinks are on point.“

“The staff was very helpful and the dishes were amazing“

“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone“

“The food is just the best.“

“love love this place. Ive been more than twice the food the atmosphere is great .I had a bunch of apps and one entree all taste to die for and the wine a delicious ROSE (Vetere) from Italy I cant find it no where. so when I come here I indulge in everything.“

“Do not miss this place! Great food, great energy, thoughtful and kind staff, delicious wines and araks from the Levant, creative flavors, authentic food but with unexpected twists that made everything stand out. I would eat here again and again if we lived nearby. Good energy and vibes even on a weeknight.“

“Absolutely beautiful small cozy restaurant with amazing food and great service. Special thank you to the bartender, I ordered 3 different coctails and asked for no syrup or sugar and they were made perfect to my taste. Roasted beet salad is to die for, octopus amazing and the skirt stake is something to come back for.“

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

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“Three for dinner. We split all dishes so tried a nice section of the mention. Everything was at least very good, and some dishes rose to great. It’s all very classic Italian, so the thrill is how platonically ideal each dish was. The arancini salad and chicken parm were the least successful to our group; not bad, very tasty, but not the best version of parm, and not the best salad with savory crunch. The lobster diavola was more iconic. Just delicious, no complaints. The steak was also just right. Long beans were a great side, although not really Italian, not really south Asian.. We shared a great and very reasonably priced bottle of wine. Definitely will be back,“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“Fabulous atmosphere and excellent food“

“We had an absolute blast! If you are looking for a spot with incredible live music and a fantastic vibe, this is it.
The bands were phenomenal, they were absolutely working the room, bringing so much energy, and playing amazing sets. Kept the whole place alive.
The drinks were excellent and expertly made, and we had a lot of fun sharing a bunch of delicious appetizers. It’s the perfect recipe for a great night out in Brooklyn. We will definitely be back for more live music soon!“

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

“The great spirit and friendly vibes, the great music and brilliant beer!“

“Love the place! I live n baltimore and every time im in town…i go. Friendly environment. Beautiful inside. Love their wines. Great place!“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“Excellent burgers“

“this is a very cute karaoke bar with good food options and lots of drink options. The service was great. I really enjoyed my time here. I also love the private room. They aren’t too expensive as well as the food prices. I recommend coming for a happy hour as they are really cheap as well would come again.“

“Love L&V! The natural wine list is awesome, lots of orange wine and other fun options I'd never tried. The bartender walked us through a few different wines without being precious about it. The cocktail list is great, too. Space has such a good vibe and it never felt stuffy even though the wine knowledge runs deep. I'm already planning to bring friends back. Best wine bar in Greenpoint, hands down.“

“I don't see anything else on age, but, it seems like you can get in on weekdays if you are 18+ if you are there to see a show as long as you're not at the bar. It would also help if there is someone 21+ accompanying you. But on weekends, a bouncer is there, so its definitely 21+ on weekends.“

“Came here to meet up with friends on a Thursday night (9/29). I had a blast with the staff behind the bar, the staff walking around clearing the tables and person behind the desk after you show the door person your ID. I enjoyed my drinks, green daiquiri shots for the table and not to mention the DJ!!!!!! The DJ did not miss a beat LITERALLY. My eight girlfriends and I were dancing unapologetically and barely sat in our seats. They had complimentary water set up near the food truck order window. Pizza was a great fit with the drinks. 10/10 for sure, loved the random dance battles and participation by the staff. Since we had a large party size, the staff helped arrange/combine tables so we could be comfortable and sit with one another. In my best Terminator impression I'LL BE BACK lol Love this place, what a gem in Brooklyn. Bonus : Nev from Catfish was there having a blast as well!“

“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.“

“Great neighborhood bar in Boerum Hill. Not to be missed!“

“Great service. Very big place. Great for large gatherings. I went during the day to have a drink. It was pretty empty at that time, which is fine by me. There's a lot of seating area, including couches. I tend to like cozier places. They also have a photo booth. They have a good Happy Hour. Hannah is a great bartender and very nice. I would come back even though, as I mentioned before, I like cozier places“

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