143 Best Cocktail Bars in Brooklyn

“This was my 2nd time at Otis and it won't be my last. The food was pretty good but heavily salted. I'm a little sensitive to salt, but my entire party, 4 people, agreed that everything was too salty, particularly the steak. The next time I go, I'll be sure to let them know that we're on a low sodium diet! Otherwise it was a lovely experience.”

“First of all, let me mention this place offers some of the best service in the area. Their drinks are quite unique and precisely made to satisfy. The food is authentic and delicious. Thank you to our server Ari, she was amazing and offered great suggestions and was very patient and professional, also friendly to my party of three. We will be back very soon, if you doubt anything I’ve said here, you seriously need to try it for yourself.”

“I am Venezuelan and I feel that going to Casa Ora is connecting with my roots. The food is delicious (my favorites are tequeños and empanadas), the decoration of the place is beautiful, the atmosphere is pleasant and the service is excellent. Casa Ora is definitely a good representation of our country.”

“I lovee lovee this restaurant! The bartender and waiters are so nice! ? great service and recommendations on the menu.The food was also amazing! All the dishes were on fire, it the best food I had in a very long time. Highly recommended the chef's choice menu.Loveeee”

“First time in Mazzat and we were very impressed. Mazzat is a cozy and charming restaurant in Brooklyn, NY with the best Mediterranean food in NYC. The service we received was amazing and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. We will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“I really liked the feijoada and the cachaça spritz cocktail. My wife enjoyed her eggs benedict… the owner is from Rio and the food seems authentic but I’ve never been to Brazil so I can’t say! We will definitely come back and try more things. Its not a huge indoor space but they have a backyard seating area as well.”

“Very cute spot, the harlots progress was REALLY good - my date got one, and after i tried it we both ordered another. Server was awesome and attentive, the vibe was sexy/sultry and fun, good for meeting friends or a date. We will definitely be coming back here!!”

“Did the burgers go down in price? The food was tasty, burger actually came with a salad. I like my mushroom sandwich! The place is super dark, but that's kind of romantic in a way. Staff was fine. Big selection of beers and a few ciders/wine/sake. They had some mixed drinks too.”

“My wife and I came here for the first time last night and had a wonderful night out!We shared a beautiful bottle of wine, apps and and entree. Our server Sara was wonderful and very attentive. She explained the menu when we told her we had never been there and helped us pair a perfect wine. It was very welcoming.The food and staff was fantastic. We Will definitely be coming again and bringing friends.”

“We held an engagement party in the Silver Light Tavern party room and it was the best. Mike made sure everything ran smoothly and is easy to work with. The bartender Stu is talented and personable. Other members of their staff zipped in and out clearing empty drink glasses and replenishing the food. All of our guests loved the venue and we had such fun!”

“I've come here a few times, you get what you pay for (in a good way). Their food and drinks are really good, service attentive, and just all around nice people working there. I wish they'd bring back the Dark and Stormy Cocktail (seriously advocate for its return, it's pretty slammin).Only reservation I have is their dessert menu (though good) is small.My recommendation hit them up for drinks and dessert (despite my reservation still worth it).”

“I came here recently for happy hour with a friend and it was a delightful experience! The place itself is decorated beautifully and the layout allows you to choose different seating options. The service was amazing and they quickly corrected any mistakes made. The food was really good and tasted very fresh. Those drinks were made so tasty and strong and I will definitely be coming back to this spot to try the other items I didn’t get!”

“Great little bar in the PLG neighborhood. Cozy and dimly lit with a nice local vibe. The cocktail menu is interesting and original and they often have live music. When the weather is agreeable, the back patio is a pleasant spot to enjoy your drink and, if you are more interested in conversation than the music, it's quiet. This is a pretty small place so it's not ideal for larger groups.”

“Fantastic atmosphere in that it has low-key energy combined with an established neighborhood-y bar specializing in whiskey. The spirits list goes on & on. The specialty cocktails are mostly whiskey based; I recommend the white walker. Fun jukebox. Great for groups, dates, & casual meet ups. Small bites available. Lots of wood.”

“Theater XIV's production of "Seven Deadly Sins" was nothing short of a visual and artistic masterpiece. The exceptional talent of the performers seamlessly intertwined with the striking costumes, meticulous set design, and brilliant choreography, creating a spectacle that was both sultry and superbly crafted. The venue itself, with its quirky and unique ambiance, only added to the immersive experience. All in all, it was an unforgettable night of theatrical wonder and artistry.”

“Delicious and surprisingly authentic tasting Sichuan food in a romantically lit environment.My party ordered family style with four additional bowls of rice to our meal and while I am used to a couple weak dishes here or there, every dish at Antidote had its own unique flavor and was quite strong on its own. I am also not the best with spicy food but the numbing of the beef cubes we ordered was enough to let me experience the intended taste without going overboard or spiciness. A lot of the cocktails were fruity and about as sweet as a dessert!The restaurant was also a quick walk to Domino park which was a perfect place to end the night :)”

“Super cute, fun bar with delicious drinks and great vibes!! For real though - the frozens are incredible. The BEST froze in NYC, hands down.The little stage in the back has awesome music, comedy and other stuff! This is the perfect spot for a date night, meet-up spot, casual day drinkin - whatever! Love this place!”

“Brunch was incredible- the food was very fresh and really tasty. We eat regularly at Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants, and this one stands out about the rest. The hummus has a perfect creaminess to it from the tahini. Everyone got different entrees and was satisfied. The latest Benedict was a standout (pictured).”

“Unexpectedly found this spot! My husband found it and it was a hit, not only were the drinks excellent but the service was great (our bartender was so friendly and engaging). In addition the vibes are awesome!!! We will definitely come back to try the food, based on the menu and the reviews it’s sure to be a hit!!!”

“What a great restaurant. Stumbled across here while staying in Brooklyn and loved everything on the menu. The prices and the portions were perfect. The atmosphere was great and our server knew everything to recommend. We ate it all and the drink selection was the cherry on top of a great meal. It all tasted authentic and homemade with fresh seafood. Highly recommend and will be back again.”

“Jimbo Slims is a no thrills traditional dive with quirky granny garage 90s nostalgia vibes. Its the best neighborhood bar with bartenders who are gems. The bartenders and regulars are hilarious, fun, and chill AF. We come back for the home Phil created, and for Andi, who makes the best cocktails and is hilarious. Definitely come here if you want a fun, magical night with cheap drinks :)”

“The staff were helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The food was delicious.We had the pretzel and the calamari with kielbasa for appetizers. The pretzel was soft and delicious on its own, but even better paired with the mustard or cheese that came with it. The calamari and kielbasa went well together and were cooked perfectly.I had the weiner schnitzel, and it was wonderful. It was thin and crispy without being too dry. It came with a nice cranberry sauce that complimented it beautifully. The sides of potatoe salad, tomatoe salad, cabbage, and cucumber salad were all great.To top it all off, they have a good beer selection as well. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely dine there again.”

“Great atmosphere and inviting staff in Prospect Heights. The food was great, especially for an out of town family member that never had Mexican food before(??!?!?).Kid-friendliness: Staff are accommodating for those picky eaters in your life.?”

“Delicious food, but while the dishes were tasty, they lacked that special something to leave a lasting impression. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was decent, but it didn't entirely compensate for the overall feeling of emptiness in the restaurant.”

“We came here after having dinner nearby. I been to this place before for an event so I was excited to have found out about it. My friend ordered a few different beers and I got my mainstay, a Shirley Temple. We already ate but I don't think they have food. They do have happy hour until 8pm. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. The bar had a low key vibe and it was a good spot to unwind and catch up with friends before heading home.”

“Very cozy and cool place to visit with family or friends. We came there for a drink, to relax after a long week. Moscow Mule was excellent! The next day we came back for oysters. They were just amazing! The staff is very friendly and they recognized us right away which means they pay attention to their customers☺️ We are definitely planning to visit this place again when we will travel to Brooklyn again.”

“Absolutely love this cocktail bar in Cobble Hill. Very limited happy hour (Tue to Fri 5-7pm: $8 Old Fashioned, $8 Wine Punch, $6 Sauvignon Blanc or Grenache)The patio in the back is lovely. As the night went on, it definitely turned into more of a date destination. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommend this bar.”

“Overall rating: 4.5Cute, little spot for a drink or two. Prices are very reasonably priced which I love !Bar was nice, but nothing stood out. Great spot to catch up with friends or go on a date you’re not sure about. Very easy to go for a drink, then dip.I’d recommend if you’re in the area & just looking to chilll.”

“One of the best experience in a cocktail bar in NY. The draft cocktails are excellent and the quality is recognizable. Sincerely i loved the draft idea and the design of the glasses. The service is really accurate. Mark is a great bartender, very professional and kind. I'll come again for sure!”

“Such delicious food! The two of us got a couple of margaritas, two starters, and the seared salmon. The margs were great, the honey goat cheese starter was novel to me and super tasty, the Cafe Fez Trio (hummus, eggplant, and red pepper with pita) was really nice, and the salmon was pillowy soft with a crispy crust, plus a really lovely side salad. The portions were big enough that we left feeling stuffed, and will probably order one or two fewer things next time. Will be going back soon!”

“Awesome bar and very chill atmosphere + also love that WWE was on the TV. The owners are husband and wife team (the wife made our drinks). Atomic Drop is a cool drink, highly recommend. Friend ordered a hotdog and also highlyrecommended it.”

“I enjoyed my time at this bar since recently coming here twice. The first was to use my benefit from the Tippler program and enjoyed the Big Electric Chair (I did hear that this is the most popular drink here), other time I did try another drink that I can't think of at this unholy late hour just I happen to be still awake. Editor's note, it was Kinky Cowgirl, I had two of them and enjoyed it alot.During my visits, I did get to come here once on a Monday and once on a Sunday to see the burlesque. I will definitely be back in the future and thought it was a very interesting bar.”

“Wow. Phenomenal cocktails in a speakeasy-feel of a bar. I sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience. They have some outside seating out back (and I think out front), and the inside has a great atmosphere.I got the Man on the Moon & My Dear Julius cocktails and savored every sip. They are true craftspeople here! I also saw a lot of Old Fashioned being ordered, so I assume they’re delectable.I didn’t try the food, but they have a meat slicing station that seemed to be hopping.Don’t believe any of the reviews of the “bad service”. They are here to make you delicious drinks, not coddle you.Come and enjoy the phenomenal cocktails and have a good time!”

“Wow I found this place by chance walking by and they had a jazz band on Sunday night! I decided to go inside and the bartender was super welcoming, after a good cocktail and a tap beer the bartender found out that I’m from Mexico and he told me “do you want a Michelada?” daaaamn, that was like magic!They have a jazz band from 5-9 every Sunday, definitely I’m coming back! Awesome neighborhood bar!”

“Delish food that’s creative but unfussy, full bar so my dad was happy, attentive/knowledgeable staff, I’ve only had delicious and lasting memories when dining here—be it with a friend or my pops! The inside was a bit loud so I recently outside and never felt forgotten about. Look forward to returning :)”

“Great BAAAH! Refurbished pool table. :) oh wait this way in NYC?! I thought I was still in Boston at this point in the trip. Anyways let’s get straight to the point. Friendly bartender great prices on booze and whisky 10$ for a pour of laproahig 10 year? Deals deals deals I’ll be back.”

“I went on a Sunday at 5:30 and I had reservations but the front was empty and they had jazz there starting at 6/630. It was great. It wasn't too crowded me and my friend had this Sunday special which was delicious and was split between the two of us and we were pretty full. we also got the Yuzu cheesecake which was also pretty good but I would've preferred an Italian cheesecake. I had one aperol spritz during the happy hour. I wish I got another because it's till 6 PM and it's two for one. They have a lovely backyard, didn't get to see much of it though. Definitely recommend this place for delicious authentic Italian food.”

“Had a great and celebratory meal here for one of my besties! Their seafood is fresh and so tasty. We had a non seafood eater with us who was impressed with the quality of the burger at a seafood place. Also if you are a martini guy, the filthy lily is the best dirty martini I have ever had!”

“Okay middle eastern food but nothing was a Wow. The shawarma (3.5/5) was nice but lacked strong flavor and the shashuka (3/5) was okay but did not have very much flavor in it. The service was also okay - they seemed super rushed. Prices were okay but I don't think I'd return here.”

“A real jewel! We were there during happy hour, prices more than fair especially compared to Manhattan. We tried all tacos and all were fantastic (the beef ones a little superior than the others). Try the hot sauce! Cocktails also very good! Unfortunately, we discovered this place on our last evening in NYC, but will return for sure.”

“Cozy, Med cuisine, NY vibe…Very delicious healthy options, perfect presentation & prepared (cooked) Local Neighborhood favorite flavor. Near local attractions & lodging. Note: this place is not for burgers, fried chicken or pizza. However Highly recommend for new gen dining”

“The most delicious meal I've experienced so far this year. Underrated, unfussy, incredibly clear flavor profiles, and the Mezcal pairings were impeccably done. There are no glowing signs to attract your attention, in a nondescript part of Park Slope, a simple intimate ground floor setting. The food was incredible, from the first bite to the last. The short rib mole was indeed the most memorable, but the rest was a close second. Never had a Mezcal pairing with food before, but this clean freshness of some seriously authentic Mexican flavors, coupled with the smoky and sweet at times, I will not soon forget. I hope to return often. One Michelin star, very affordable, with the largest Mezcal collection I've ever seen. Whatever your notion of Mexican cuisine, this will not disappoint.”

“I love this place. Amazing backyard. They get bands to play and has a very backyard party feel.The bar itself is lively and without douchbags. Bartenders are fast when busy and nice and chill when it's not.The food is delicious, but it's not an option for a full dinner. It's stuff like chili or pulled chicken. The couple times I've had it, it was delicious.When it first opened I would have called it a hidden gem, but there's no longer a hidden part of this place. It's lively and energetic, giving a life of its own that's quite representative of Sunset Park.If you live in the neighborhood I'd go there right away or if you ever visit Industry City this is a great way to end the night!Parking: It's underneath the BQE, which offers a lot of parking That's usually pretty open”

“Pizza and cocktails were both delicious. Staff was really friendly but it was a little disappointing that no mention of the hot oil or honey were made. The place also gets super busy. Would love a beef option. All of their meat option is pork.Overall definitely worth it to try it and I would go back.”

“One of my very favorite neighborhood bars! They have nailed the vibe: a mix of fun & upbeat, but still laidback and not pretentious. Love the retro, pink/blue/purple atmosphere. Drinks are delicious (I’m always ordering their espresso martinis!! It has a unique spin). Staff & owners are the best. Great for groups, bdays and events, but also dates and solo hangs if you’re up for it. Forever recommending Blinky’s to anyone in the area. :)”

“Worth the wait. Some of the best hummus I’ve had in a long time and that says a lot. The food was absolutely delicious. The dip tray was out of this world. The wings? Ouf… The meat portions were small, but we were both satisfied and full.Overall sure it can be pricy for the amount of food you get but the taste, how full you feel from your meal, the service, that view and atmosphere makes up for it. I recommend; it’s a wonderful experience.ALSO!! My best friend ordered a scotch neat. They added ice. An honest mistake, but they apologized and said they would correct it. When they came back all they had done was remove the ice. It was still cold watered. Broke our hearts a bit.”

“Don’t let the fact that it’s tucked away in the Dekalb market fool you, this is your new favorite neighborhood spot. I’m here several times a week. The staff is amazing and the vibes are always good. Especially Niya, Jess, Mike and Jay. The beer always is ice cold. The food is always on point (though I wish they’d add bbq sauce and honey mustard). Check it out. You won’t be sorry!”

“Went with some friends on the weekend and it was a lot of fun. First time playing shuffleboard but certainly not my last! Just started getting the hang of it toward the end but it was fun the whole time. Good drinks too! Especially the velvet cocktail ??”

“Everything was delicious but the surprising best dish of the night was the mushroom crostini. You MUST get this. We also got the lump crab tagliatelle and the duck dish. I loved the spicy kick in the pasta and it had a generous serving of crab. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!”

“Overall rating: 4.7Omg my pictures look terrible & definitely don’t do this place justice. Tucked behind a sushi spot, a speakeasy restaurant is a cute spot for a pre-appetizer with a friend.I went just to try the clarified pain killer and it was interesting. I don’t know if I liked it. Lol However, the truffle fries were very good & I was very surprised.I think I’d go back for a date and if I was in the area. Def not solo. Def not with friends. Not a place I would seek out, but still a cute spot. Cocktail bar casual.”

“Overall rating: 4.8Such a great, chill spot that’s perfectly nestled in Bedstuy. I come here for the amazing happy hour and a bar crawl on a weekend date.If I lived in the area, I’d definitely become a regular here. Also love the names of the drinks. Very non-pretentious, yet not divey. Totally recommend if you live in the area or looking to try a new place.”

“Where do I even start?! Sobre Masa is amazing. The quality of food is amongst the best I’ve had living in NYC for 13 years. The tortillas are actually the best I’ve had in most of the world. Everything we ate, we loved-guacamole, octopus, enchiladas, skirt steak, carnitas, flan…? The staff is amazing, warm and welcoming and the atmosphere of the restaurant is super chill. It’s right off the L which makes it super easy to get to. Will be going back ASAP.”

“- Love their lil happy hour situation! - Awesome service, so friendly - Frozen drinks are delishhh, they even let you mix em up! - Not mad at the hot dog + Zapps chips sitchu - Many seating nooks Will def return to this friendly neighborhood watering hole when we're back in the area :) Love it! Also - congrats on 5 years! woot woot! aint easy”

“We had an absolutely excellent meal at Fausto from start to finish. The little gem (wow!) and arancini starters were both absolutely excellent, with the focaccia only a slight notch below those two. All of the pastas were great with the Campanelle as the best we ordered. And the panna cotta dessert was very good. Excellent service, good atmosphere, and we would definitely return.”

“Loved dining here. Came for brunch and got the 1/4 chicken and omelet as well as the ice cream for dessert. This place did not disappoint! The chicken sauce was so flavorful that we didn’t ask for ketchup on the side for our fries, we just dipped them right in, and it was delicious. The omelet was perfect in terms of flavor and texture, even the side salad it came with was wonderfully dressed. And to finish it all off we had some delicious ice cream. HIGHLY recommend”

“Boutros is a neighborhood spot with middle eastern influences driving a really modern menu. You can't go wrong with much on the menu, though I recommend getting at least one of the mains and one of the dips each time you visit. The restaurant's high ceilings and purposeful decor give it a relaxed, modern vibe.They've recently updated their menu, introducing / evolving several items, and reducing their price points a bit, which makes the value much better (they previously had some higher price points shortly after the pandemic).The evolution in the menu definitely warrants a revisit if you haven't been in a bit, and I was happy to add it back into my neighborhood rotation.Come for: A great meal that hits across the appetizers, entrees, and desserts.Favorites: Miso Baba Ganoush, Kurobuta Pork Chop, Black Sea Bass, Awamat ‘Lebanese Doughnuts’Watch out: The restaurant can be darker if you're toward the back; would recommend sitting closer to the bar or front for more light (personal preference)”

“It's very lively on a Friday & Saturday nights. The food was delicious, the smash burger was decent and a good choice in the neighborhood. Only issue is the wait. I've been here a number of times and hesitant to return due to the lengthy wait times for food & drinks, Be prepared to wait and get apologies to follow. Happens to my wife and I every time, even last night.”

“One of my fave bars from my old neighborhood! The staff is super friendly and great mixologist so all my cocktails were always delicious. The place is covered in plants, need I say more?! Pretty tasty bar food and the wallpaper in the bathroom has Biggie in its wallpaper. The perfect gem!”

“We had a dinner for a group of 15 to celebrate the life of a relative who passed. The food was outstanding, some of the best in Brooklyn and I highly recommend it. The setting was lavish, beautiful and comfortable. The staff were hospitable and friendly. The owner was gracious, treated us like family. The warmth and love we felt to all that made our night possible we thank you so much. We will be returning again.”

“When I was visiting on a Saturday night I saw a DJ was playing music so I stepped in. I ordered a ginger-infused old fashioned and danced with a few friends for a bit. The dance floor is relatively small and I couldn't find a restroom inside (though there is one further in the complex). The dance crowd was quite varied.”

“Chill, tropical bar with a great happy hour. Nachos are incredible!! Painkillers and frozen drinks in general are fire. Has a couple arcade games and a relaxing backyard for good weather. I highly recommend, especially for a day drinking spot, or for winding down after work.”

“My absolute favorite in NYC. A low key, classy, modern cocktail bar. Excellent signature menu of thoughtful, well crafted cocktails. The focus is on the drink itself, no gimmicks or over the top presentations (they don't need it). My recommendation is, try something you think you won't like. You probably will. Haven't gone wrong yet.”

“This is a really fun bar. The decor is unique and cool. They have an aquarium with an albino frog which was unexpected! The drinks are reasonably priced as well as the food. They also may have the best tater tots I’ve ever had. Stag is so friendly and back room that hosts events is nice. Favorite spot in south slope!”

“Tacos are amazing — appear a bit pricy on the menu, but they are heaping with meat and good value for sure. Super delicious. Get steak and pork. Chicken is good too but those two are better.Wings are great as well, this is my go to spot for wings in the area. They’re super breaded and crunchy. Good value (for the world we live in) at $12 for 8 wings.Food comes out quickly, great service and speedy drinks, super chill bartenders.I have one super minor complaint, I normally come here around happy hour time but I came one night around maybe 11pm with some friends to get food and the music was insanely loud. Knocked one star off ‘atmosphere’ but doesn’t affect my overall 5* rating at all; my favorite bar in the area.”

“Fantastic, expertly crafted cocktails, and fun themes! Really makes you feel like you're all part of some experience. If you like tiki you must go. The yellow tang and the angostura colada are two quintessential tiki drinks with fresh fruit and great flavor, highly recommend them.”

“Great drinks and super affordable. I can't say this place is undiscovered cause it's always busy but it's such a gem. I love a tiki style drink. The pop up food was also good! The vibe is excellent. So cute and a fun place to hang.”

“A fantastic new addition to the neighborhood!!!I love everything about Bleu Nuk Bk. For starters, it's simple, elegant style with great attention to the nuanced detail of comfort go a long way. Minimalist yet padded bar stools are a key factor, gorgeous lighting, beautiful wall design, and rustic chic bar shelving with excellent glassware are just a few of the things that immediately elevated your experience.The staff is noticeably happy, which tells me it's well run by caring owners and great management.The menu is a beautifully curated mix of delicious local favors with a modern yet classic approach.Everything we tried was a taste sensation, made with great love.The mussels stood out in high regard for me. It was a nice appetizer portion, with full sized tender mussels which is a skill in itself, but the great surprise was how well this heavily garlic broth stood out. Garlic can be tricky, and is often the gross, prechop, often rancid, kind, and when I saw how much garlic was in this dish I was ready to be disappointed but to my great surprise it was one of the BEST, most well prepared, garlic forward broths I have ever had!!! It has to be fresh and it has to be added to the mix at the right time, and this chef knew exactly how to handle every ingredient. Just spectacular! My coconut rice chick pea was comforting but still light. My anti pea, nut, legume husband absolutely LOVED my dish and much to my surprise, he couldn't keep his fork out of my dish!. That's high praise!!His steak dish was so flavorful and expertly cooked, still soft, juicy med/rare which is rarely(see what I did there) accomplished on the thinner cuts. We loved everything about it.All the sides were bursting with flavors. Nice quantity to feel satisfied without feeling too full.The only suggestion would be a few additional wines to round out diverse pallets.We're so excited to have another great walk to restaurants in our growing food destination neighborhood! Enjoy!”

“Food was delicious had an Hamburguesa which was good, my daughter had birria nachos, which she loved and my husband had a carne asada quesadilla nd hes not a cheese lover but he couldn't stop eating it because it waa good and the carne asada tasted lile it was made on the grill.”

“We were looking for somewhere for craft beer at lunchtime. Couldn't find anywhere else open but the cafe side of this place served us excellent canned craft beer and tasty pastrami and brie sandwiches. The draft beer section opens late afternoon. Service with a smile, reasonably priced, chilled atmosphere.”

“This place has dark lighting and is very cozy. The bartender is extremely professional and friendly. I told him my taste and he made me a passion fruit daiquiri that was just what I wanted. There is also an outside sitting area. I enjoyed my time ”

“An intimate setting with a separated area for private dining. Great bar and drinks and house dj ?? ?? ??. Food was well done but small portions. Slider were a hit both beef and seafood options. ? fried fish got good reviews from the table as well as the house fries. The normal is fine but accent given to the house version should not be ignored. This place makes a great date ?, after work or hour stop,”

“Twofer-First visit: Cute bar with a patio. Perfectly lit so you're not tripping over stools or your own feet. Music is a tad too low for a bar but the little bit I can hear was good. It could be low due to the one JBL speaker they have. A cute spot for a date night or just to pop in and have a tasty treat. Cocktails range from super intricate with 50 million ingredients to extremely simple like a margarita. Not all drinks were listed on their online menu the day we popped in. We went big on our first visit and tried the Melted IceCream (on the receipt it's called Cafe con Leche) and the PadThaiHini.I enjoyed them both! The MIC has a delicious chocolate forward flavor and the top has a delicious crunchy topping of coconut flakes. The PTH has a beautiful spicy heat and a drool inducing savory scent (if u get heartburn cojelo con take it easy). I loved that heat however I do wish it had a tad but more of a peanut flavor coming through.Second visit: um what's going on how's it go from cocktail bedstuy to this. I was starting to think I was mad but I have the menu and ig/fb info for the name I know it by. Anyhow I re-entered this twilight zone because why not embrace the matrix. Arrived for hphr and sat in the patio, zero music. I got the blueberry margarita, I'm in love. I really was starting to think I'd never get a decent mixed drink around. Luckily, so far, this little gem consistently follows through.Overall I definitely will be a coming back especially if the drink menus get printed, are updated properly, and the drinks change with the seasons/events. Oh and if they upgrade their sound system (two more JBLs will do for the space:).”

“Great food, service, music and ambiance! I had a small gathering here with family, shared a few different dishes/cocktails and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Well seasoned, cooked and presented. Thank you to Leo and the entire team!”

“This place is incredible. Elevated Mexican cuisine with great decor, a nice mezcal heavy cocktail list and thoughtful, personal service. The appetizers were the star but everything was great. Gets going late since it seems to run a bit on Mexico City time!”

“Not sure why there's a "closed permanently" note on this page but it was open when I went a month ago and was delightful! Great drinks, best vibe. Was chill when the rest of Red Hook bars were slammed. Excellent hang, owners were incredibly nice. Wish this bar was my neighborhood local, I'd be here daily.”

“This is a cute bar on Franklin Ave in BK. I originally came for 95 South on a Tuesday but they were closed. So, I went to this spot two doors down. I could hear the music from outside bumping, but in a good way. I was like okayyy..they outside! They were having Karaoke Tuesdays and it was dope. I walked in and the vibe was nice with a good crowd. A gentleman gave me his seat and I proceeded to order the Dark and Stormy with JB, who turned our to be really chill. The drink was strong and on point. I had a couple more drinks. We sang happy birthday to the DJ. Harmonized with some ladies to old school classics and it was a vibe. Everyone was friendly and chill. The back area/outdoor is covered and cute. I remember coming here back in 2019 and the renos to the back make sense. All in all, I definitely recommend coming here for a good community vibe. I would also host events here. Definitely give it a shot!”

“First, Lee is an angel and may be the finest bartender in the five boroughs. Beyond that all I can provide is my honest reaction: I wanted to text my ex to invite her her so I could breakup again before she discovers this place because I want to keep her out as I am selfish and do not like to share nice things. There are a few great spots in this ‘hood and this stands out mostly because of the food and great staff. I wouldn’t even post this if I wasn’t about to move b/c as I said, I DO NOT LIKE TO SHARE MY FAV THINGS!”

“We got there just as the early bird time was ending, but they still let us get our orders in. $10 for a quality, juicy burger topped with a mustard sauce with minced pickles and a generous side of fries! Happy hour rocks!! We also got the shrimp cocktail, fried pickles, (both on the early bird menu) and the rigatoni. The portions might lean on the smaller side, but I thought it was perfect for sharing and getting a taste for multiple things. Great outdoor space and service was also nice--our waiter/waitress checked up on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. Got a cute post card at the end!”

“I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and finally got the chance. Cute but small place (luckily there’s outdoor seating) but the drinks are the star of the show. Lot of options to choose from but you can’t go wrong with anything. Pull up for happy hour because it does get busy in the nights. Looking forward to stopping by again!”

“A great local hang- beautiful backyard with a cute garden and lots of seating, and great decoration throughout the bar. Unique dishes and drinks, and great happy hour deals ($10 for a margarita or a mule!) The staff is super friendly and attentive, definitely would recommend a ”

“If I could add an extra few stars for service, I would. Henry (the manager) and his team were excellent. We had the wings (wood fired and delicious), oysters, pão de queijo, mussels, truffle fries (perfectly salted) and both the regular and frozen sangria. I would recommend everything that we ate.”

“I am super pleased that The Steel Mill is open again! Great food and drinks (just split the Korean BBQ Gordita and Tinga de Pollo Nachos - delicious). The staff and owner are so nice, and I really like both the indoor and outdoor spaces. Glad it’s in the neighborhood!”

“I'll start by saying I'm somewhat of a bias reviewer because my first (blind) date with my now husband was at their previous location and the great cocktails and food kept us talking there all night ♥️ That said, we just had a lovely evening (6 years later) at their new (? not sure how long it's been) spot.We tried a variety of cocktails and all were perfection (hopefully you'll get Mikey as a bartender, he's a gem). My favorites were the Peach Puebla and the Monterey Daze, which has a nice kick. Their food is tasty and presented well. Don't miss the casava puffs, they definitely hit the right balance of not too heavy or light when you're having a cocktail or two.”

“Greatest BLT on Earth!!! I had it days ago and honestly it still haunts my dreams. I never thought I could feel this way about a BLT. I got the standard version with incredible sun dried tomato jam, but you can also pay $3 more to add heirloom tomato slices.Drink service was also solid, FWIW.”

“Guys put down the miller lite and the nonsense townie bay ridge offerings and get over here..this is the only true craft cocktail bar we have in the neighborhood and they execute flawlesslyHighly recommend got the coffe bourbon infused chocolate drink and wife got the strawberry rhubarb strawberry drink.with house infused strawberry vodka”

“Great vibes and location; especially in the summer when you can sit outside. The food is excellent because it’s solid. The options are standard for a bar food with a few bonuses but nothing too innovative. My favorite is that it’s always good. I recommend getting a side of fries for the table (2-3p people) if you’re getting other food because the portion is large and most of the food comes with chips.”

“These drinks…are so so good. I went here as a little pregame before heading to Torst down the road and honestly wished I could’ve stayed longer! The service is friendly, the music a perfect level, and overall a really neat place. A friend had sticker shock at the prices but maybe I’ve been Stockholmed ”

“Eyval is a great addition to the Bushwick dining scene. A mix of small shareable dishes to larger entrees, there is something for everyone. I am not very familiar with Persian food, but the menu is very approachable and the staff is very friendly and armed with solid recommendations.Though the dishes are filling they aren't heavy. If you like lamb it is a must in any of it's forms (ribs, rack, kabob, all good)”

“It's quite vibey in here. I have been here twice. Once on a date with my lady, and the second time was with my bros.First time: We ordered the "chicken" parmesan sandwich, and it was uber salty. The server gave us another sandwich (vegan burger) with no issues. The only reason why I am not giving them 5 stars is due to the attitude of the servers. Their replies were short and they were somewhat unpleasant. We all have bad days, but you're in the hospitality industry. Go punch the air in the back, and come back out with a smile.Second time: We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice. My bros and I shared an appetizer that was like a loaded vegan nacho dish. It was very delicious, and the oyster mushrooms are something else smh. Also, the milkshakes are divine!Overall, the food here is some of the best vegan food I have ever had. I'll definitely be back in the near future.”

“The food was great, I got the oxtails and would highly recommend them. If you’re in the mood for a drink, try the Iron Man it is another great offer by the restaurant. The staff was nice, the atmosphere was nice, nothing out of the extraordinary; but the food was pretty good and enough to ”

“Would definitely return. Food was incredible, but felt the order of the food coming out could have been better, as a small plate came out last after the chicken sandwich. Service was attentive and the staff was very friendly. Will recommend”

“Absolutely gorgeous space serving consistently quality and delicious food and cocktails. I love the slight tweaks to the menu each season. The dosa is a must! Also cannot go wrong with the brunch full story, dinner time ssam, and the burger.Dietary restrictions: Great for dairy free folks!”

“Very good neighborhood spot with solid service and nice seating. Occasionally something isn't great (buratta and tomatoes) I had last time I was there, but with a diverse menu that pushes the bounds of what your neighborhood spot serves that's is bound to happen. They have great burgers, salads and Sandwhichs and good selection of beers and cocktails.”

“The food was amazing. Not just spicy but with complex flavors. There were also plenty of non spicy, but still tasty, options for my wife.The staff was very attentive and careful to warn us which dishes might be too spicy. They even came by to check that everything was to our liking.”

“Wonderful experience. The bartenders and staff are warm, welcoming, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable on tequila and Mezcal alike. Fantastic selection for tastings and the cocktails are well worth the money. Great spot for any tequila/mezcal lover.”

“Food here is great w a lot of vegetarian and non meat options. The service is good, and the vibe is cool, it’s pretty quick, and a good place to go w the family or w friends! I recommend the Truffle Mac and cheese, the Cajun fries and their tuna steak burger! Special mention to the manager, who’s always goes above and beyond to help! She’s great!”

“Thursday night's & Sunday afternoon is a fun time, to be at Kinanm. You hear great music, dance & the backyard gives Kinanm mor space & a nice area to enjoy. The drink prices are ok, they also have food on sal that is good. It's a fun pkace to hangout with friends or someone special, or find someone special. GO TO KINANM'S & HAVE FUN!!!!”

“So impressed! I'm just sad I haven't been here sooner Ordered the meat and cheese plate, tomato salad, sage ravioli and bottle of wine. Left completely satisfied, full and felt like the value was spot on. All very high quality and fresh”

“We were inspired to go here after watching the show Drink Masters and everyone who worked at Clover Club was a total master. Everyone looked so skilled behind the bar and the cocktails were all so good!! Obviously had a Clover Club at the Clover Club and it was one of the most balanced drinks I’ve ever had. The vibes inside the cocktail bar are also super nice and sexy. We will come back for dinner and more drinks”

“Been here for dinner once and tried brunch for the first time. The ambience is great, especially in the daytime, and both meals were delicious. I feel like the portion size for most dishes (maybe outside of the fish) are really good, and for what you are getting, the prices make sense. for brunch we got the soufflé pancake, the chicken karaage, and the hot honey gem salad. I usually don't like salads, but the hot honey salad with the yuzu vinaigrette is so good! The sobacha barley tea was also decent. My friend and I both had food left for leftovers.”

“Location: upscale yet casual, dress code is loose but nice. Great ambiance, low light dinner setting makes for a perfect evening date location. The added "secret" bar also adds to the allure.Food: absolutely fantastic. We had the foi gras, which was nutty and smooth (I know, it is a terrible thing, but when in a French restaurant, you have to seize the opportunity). The escargot was also great. The duck breast was perfectly cooked, and the orange reduction paired masterfully. My wife had the risotto, which she raved about. The wine selection is moderate but very well placed, with mostly French and European options.Service: attentive, cordial, and warm without being interruptive. A full house on a Saturday night but somehow never felt out of reach.Value: 100% will visit again and take out of town friends in. About $50 per person with drinks, it is a fine dining experience with the stuffy feel of city restaurants. It's definitely a gem of a place.”

“Great neighborhood spot. Can’t go wrong with a seat at the bar. The bartenders know what they’re doing with the cocktails and can easily make something off menu.The menu has a lot of strong comfort food items while also offering vegetarian options.2nd time here already! Have a feeling this will become a favorite local spot.”

“The drinks were really good. This place is near Barclays so it’s a great place to hang out before a concert. The bartender was really nice, but the host (or perhaps waiter?) seemed to be having a bad day and was somewhat grumpy. I would still go again though!”

“I’ve been here three times now (once for a quick office event coffee+bagel pickup and twice for happy hour outdoor seating). I prefer the sidewalk seating over the backyard, but there isn’t always service for the front sidewalk (which isn’t too big of a problem). While the vibes are nice and worth visiting itself (bc they host events on occasional evenings which I look forward to going to), the food imo is nothing to rave about. Nice casual food serving as a local neighborhood joint. Would definitely come again.”

“Finally visited after seeing the bottles in Brooklyn bars. The drinks were great. I’m not a big whiskey drinker but the American whiskey was so sweet and smooth. The tour was definitely worth it. It’s $20 and you get $10 off a bottle. The tasting room was very nice and the staff was incredibly friendly. I recommend their daiquiri made with their rum.”

“My partner and I rented the backroom of Crystal Lake Brooklyn to host a welcoming party the night before our wedding. It was a perfect space for us and our 75 guests. The staff were all an absolute pleasure to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. The reasonable rental fee and food/drink minimum made this place an incredible deal, especially for Williamsburg which can be very pricy. Highly recommend for an event or just to stop in for a quick drink when you're in the neighborhood.”

“I enjoy this place for brunch very much, it’s literally located on a boat so if aware if you can get seasick easily! Everything I got was amazing, the oysters were small but sweet and flavorful.The crudo sea beam was very appetizing and refreshing because of it’s citrusy taste along with some herb and tomatillo.The hash browns was well cooked and just perfect and you can pair with the steelhead caviar, sour cream and pickled onions and transcend the flavor to the next level.The lobster roll was buttery and surprising with a generous amount of lobster! I added the leftover caviar on top of it and it’s full of seafood umami flavor.At the end, I had the key lime mousse and the gateau, and the gateau was a delicious crumbly chocolaty cake/cookie mixture, I couldn’t finish it because I was too full but I wish I could have.”

“I was looking for healthy food options and stumbled upon this place & I have zero regrets! They have so many healthy food options that deciding what to get was the only issue haha I got the Parmesan truffle fries, and they were incredible, crispy and the perfect flavor. I don't usually do a sauce but my waitress recommended the chipotle mayo, which I was unsure about, but I assure you it's the perfect combo. My chicken was cooked perfectly, veggies were delicious. All the staff was nice and helpful. I sat inside but they also have nice outdoor seating. Will definitely be back!”

“PERFECTION, is a mere understatement. Man oh Man this place will never disappoint you. Mastering a mixologist craft in NYC isn’t important to most but Fresh Kills prides themselves on making the perfect cocktail… thank you & see you soon ?”

“They have a backyard which is wonderful for outdoors dining. I chose to come here on a Saturday evening with some friends. There’s about six seats in the backyard and they have about 8 to 10 tables in the restaurant itself. The host set us down immediately, just making sure that table was clean and ready for us. I have to say big props for serving stuff for serving during covid times and as soon as we sat down offered us some insect repellent for the bugs around. They also had hand sanitizer on every table.The space itself is very lovely and laid it feels like you’re in someone’s private backyard and they put up some lights and umbrellas for the heat.On to the food and drinks. we tried the st Lawrence and the garter snake as well as the watermelon supernova and deveraux spritz. I would recommend all of them depending on your tastes, they were well made and mixed.I loved the cornbread - very buttery, and the Mac and cheese - they use pesto! So delish!I also loved the green beans they add in an Asian sauce and it's divine. Would also recommend the brownie dessert very well made. I didn't really think much of my burger, I would probably recommend to get the second patty as well because it is on the smaller side but it is tasty. So overall I would recommend this place for drinks and apps and of course the necessary outdoor seating in the summer :”

“Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We went for restaurant week and sat on the patio for a lovely ambiance. Shrimp ceviche was tasty and beautiful presentation, Moroccan fish was well done and inventive. Peach dessert hits the spot in the summer!”

“It's a little hard to hear since the space makes everyone's voices echo a bit, but that's really nothing compared to the food.Everything is delicious, staff are nice.The restroom is a little small, so I recommend getting cocktails over beer (for me at least, I didn't want to keep going to the bathroom).fantastic spot.”

“Cute Japanese spot. They have a small outdoor section in the back. Staff is nice and attentive. The have a happy hour menu which is nice. We had sushi (tuna) and dragon roll. Good sized portions. and shishito peppers (sauce was so good)They offer alcohol as well. Nice place to go have a drink or appetizers for happy hour.Chill ambiance. Would come back here!You can see inside the kitchen very clean. Decor is funky vintage.”

“Very relaxing, an enjoyable atmosphere, and some delicious food! A truly wonderful place to be. This aesthetic makes me feel at home and relaxed, so much so that I almost wish I lived here. The chandelier, the comfy chairs and sofas, the delicious desserts and coffee, paired with the wood paneling and the relaxing music make for a great experience. Would recommend!”

“If you're looking for a restaurant that offers delicious cocktails, fresh oysters, and a variety of dinner options, this is the place to be! The standout feature of this restaurant is definitely their signature cocktails and wine offerings. They're expertly crafted and curated and made by a great bartending staff.In addition to the drinks, the oysters are a must-try! They're served ice cold and are the perfect appetizer to start your meal. The dinner options are equally as good, with a variety options and not to mention their dessert! We love the charcuterie plate and hummus along with the rigatoni for dinner.But what truly sets this restaurant apart is their jazz night on Thursday nights - the atmosphere is lively and upbeat, making for an awesome dining experience.Finally, a special shoutout to Hallie, who is a true gem. The staff is accommodating and always goes the extra mile to ensure that your experience is unforgettable.This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for dinner in Brooklyn Heights. Whether you're in the mood for drinks, oysters, or a full-fledged dinner, you won't be disappointed. And with their jazz night on Thursdays, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a night out!”

“An absolute gem of a place, I'm so glad it's in NYC. Live music, good food, great ambience. Narrow but lively space. This is one of those places that reminds you why it's so special to live in (or visit) NYC. My issue is the staff can be a little controlling and on edge. They should relax, let things flow. Demanding credit cards when putting in an order, telling people where to sit when the place is empty, it's a little much. Also, QR codes make it hard to browse a menu. All in all a great, great place.”

“Layout/atmosphere*Small espresso bar; wooden outdoor dining structure in streetFood/drink*Calabrian (soft scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, Calabrian chiles, arugula, roasted red pepper aioli & Mike's Hot Honey) - good*Cluckin' Russian (Fried chicken cutlet, bacon, melted Muenster cheese, honey mustard & Russian dressing) - good*Grandma's Cheesecake Sandwich - [rainbow] Good”

“Surprisingly pleasant vibe at Sunday Soul Scream. Not too self conscious, great music. Deep cuts off Stax 45s and even more obscure artists. Really nice on a warm night to have the rooftop open. Arepas were tasty. Thanks for a great night :)”

“Very nice restaurant with polite and quick service. We ordered pizza and steak frittes. The dishes were very good, fresh and well seasoned. My girlfriend was delighted with the food and drinks, which speaks for itself. We highly recommend visiting Zona Sur!!!”

“It took me such a long time to get in here and try the food, but life has a way of making things full circle. My favorite was the almond horchata and the empanada. The nachos are huge and filling. My least favorite had to be the quesidilla, I didn't hate it. The service was great. The drinks were good. It's so cute inside and way bigger than my brain imagined. I'd go back and try other things, and I'd Def order that beet and pumpkin Empanada to go because WHAT! AMAZING!?!Vegetarian options: I the food is veganDietary restrictions: It's a vegan restaurant”

“We had an absolutely delightful waiter who gave some amazing recommendations. The oysters and bone marrow were real crowd pleasers. I wish I could have bone marrow toast for breakfast every morning. I feel like bone marrow toast could be the elixir of youth. It feels like I'm reverse aging whenever while eating. The oysters were delightful and well curated. The wine was funky, acidic and paired well with the treats. Anyway. I'll be going back!”

“Exquisite experience. As another reviewer write, Sarava , as stated in another review, is a hidden gem in Bay Ridge. The menu is totally unique and on par with a midtown Manhattan restaurant. Though we no longer live in Brooklyn, we travel from Rockland County just to dine here. Some of our favorite foods include: the crab cake appetizer and the entree of Bobo de Camarao is a must, as is the pear tart with gelato for dessert.In addition, the Brazilian drink, Caipirinha, made with Brazilian rum is delicious!! You MUST COME HERE to try it all!Rafaela, The owner is friendly and accommodating!”

“Love this place!! Super unassuming neighborhood bar with amazing sounds. I came here on a Saturday night with a friend visiting out of town who is staying in the area. They were playing everything from Kaytranada to Afrobeats.Great drinks for a great price. My go-to is the Hibiscus Margarita which packs a bite for just $12. The security and bartenders are chill. There's pool table there if that's your thing. There's also a back room where the DJ plays that's super cool.”

“Layout/atmosphere*Bar (wall behind the bar lined with magazine articles/photo spreads); tables; semi open kitchen (could see pizza oven); tables in the back room; couple of tables on sidewalk in frontService*FriendlyFood/drink*Margherita pizza 12” (San Marzano tomatoes, homemade mozzarella, organic sourdough, basil oil) - good; liked the cheese but it had a tendency to all come off in first/one bite; sauce solid; crust on lighter, softer side*Three beer taps*Cocktails”

“Enjoyed a lovely dinner tonight at Della - a great little spot in Prospect Park Brooklyn that sits in a beautiful residential neighborhood. With outdoor dining options and a lovely cozy bar area - it’s the perfect ‘neighborhood’ place to enjoy a drink (or more), some really thoughtful cuisine - in a relaxed environment. The farro salad was delicious with small manchego cheese bits in it, and the salmon was cooked perfectly with a creamy mash below and perfectly sautéed grape tomato halves. All paired with a light Verdicchio dei Castelli recommended by Lisa washed it down perfectly. Yum! To finish - the pairing of the key lime pudding with crumble below and the light chocolate mousse with a simple whipped cream dollop hit the spot. Didn’t think to ask about an after dinner drink…next time!A worthwhile spot to return to! The garden terrace area in the back is really cute - and rumor has it they’re making more improvements inside and out!Vegetarian options: Salads worthwhile!!!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu items available. Coming back for grilled cheese (challah bread!)Wheelchair accessibility: Slight small ¼ step - but front outside dining also possible.Dietary restrictions: Will accommodate as necessary.”

“For starters the first drinks were very traditional Japanese cocktails. They were Hakutake Shiro & Aka Kirishima - they ask you if you would like it neat or on the rocks etc. The second drinks were highballs which is Suntory Toki whisky.. club soda.. and your choice of flavor. We got the watermelon & pineapple which were very refreshing & comes with a piece of fruit as well, but the alcohol is very light. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. Very secluded place to have a drink.”

“If you're going to an event at bellhouse this is the place to go after!Nice seating and roomy. Has multiple areas to hang out and regularly promotes local comedy (at your own risk!). But it's in a separate room!There's a really fancy outdoor space too. Staff is always nice. Lots of tinder dates during peak tinder hours: 5-9pm.”

“Charming, intimate place for cocktails! I came early on a Thursday evening, and it was still quiet and not too full. I had an excellent French75 which was part of their happy hour specials (until 7pm), but was eyeing many of the other interesting cocktails available to order.”

“The best cocktail bar in Williamsburg, perhaps in NYC. Every drink here is masterful. You truly can’t order wrong. As long as you enjoy an alcohol-forward cocktail, you’ll be in for a treat. The gin and tonics allow you to dilute on your own, the seasonal rotations are always an exciting shake-up, and the snacks are always *chefs kiss*.We’re local and here at least 1x every two weeks and on an especially celebratory (or laborious) week, 1-2 times. Stop in and enjoy!”

“This place has an endless variety of foods and beverages to satisfy anyone's appetite and thirst. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I had the Pulled Pork Sammy which was mountain sized and cooked perfectly. Moist and tender. I give this eatery 5 stars. Give it a try, you'll be back for more.”

“If you're looking for a unique and vibrant Tiki experience, this is THE PLACE to be at. The ambiance is playful and inviting with colorful decor and neon lights that set the perfect mood. Their Tiki-inspired cocktails are not only delicious but also creatively presented in adorable cups that add to the fun. I've visited Zig Zag Bar twice now, and both times have been memorable. The staff is friendly, the vibe is nice, and the outdoor seating is a bonus! If you're in the mood for a casual hangout with friends, a night of enjoyment, and some good cocktails, Zig Zag Bar is a must-visit!”

“This place has been a welcome go-to for years. Recently though a lot more smoking under the outdoor seating shed. Signs all over politely ask people to smoke on the curb. Have had to leave several times lately because of the smoke. They are losing a good bit of my business now.”

“Great place for good jams and vibes. Been here for both jazz events and parties and can’t complain, this place is a vibe and sounds very good. Food is on the small-bite side so if you’re hungry, don’t recommend this spot. If you want drinks and vibes in a very beautifully decorated, prohibition style-esque environment, this joint is for you.”

“Overall rating: 4.7I love the decor at this spot. I’ve gone a few times in winter & spring. If you’re going for hot cider or a hot toddy in a cute gingerbread cup like the winter menu pictures show, make sure to call ahead & confirm. I went in early December & they weren’t serving it (yet). It was very confusing.Another time, the bartender was a tad too creepy for me & my friend. But other than those two occasions, I enjoyed my time. The drinks are really strong and flavorable, which is also greatly appreciated.I think this is a great spot I’d love to try again with a date.”

“Came for an after dinner cocktail. Cute quaint place with good service. If I'm in the area, I would return. They have a pool table in the back which seems to be popular. Shout out to gender neutral bathrooms because it certainly made the potty line move faster.”

“Hiyake Japanese BBQ is a gem of a restaurant. The food is authentic and absolutely delicious. The staff is also very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the different cuts of meat and seafood available. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends or a romantic dinner with your significant other. Highly recommend!”

“Have been here for many years whilst visiting family in Brooklyn. Great pub, atmosphere, craft brews, and as a visiting Brit they keep the Old Speckled Hen as a regular beer. Ralf is a fantastic host. We hope to visit when we return to Brooklyn before our return to the U.K.”

“I only came for the roof top party didn't order any drinks because I pregamed. The DJs. That is all I can say. If you only wanna hear NY drill and pop smoke. You're gonna want some place else. I can't say I knew it liked every song but every genre was touched through great transitions. Afro beats were the most popular but by far not the only thing played.”

“The vibe here is more like a sports bar while their menu feels like a nice Italian restaurant. You need to decide for yourself if that is something you like, but I had a very good time here eating dinner. The staff was very friendly and attentive, the food was good. Pricing is very much in line with most other restaurants.”

“Very friendly and helpful staff. I booked a show and unfortunately it was cancelled. The staff gave me a full refund and even offered me a drink on the house. I didn’t have time to stay for the next scheduled show but the vibes are very positive here and the atmosphere is welcoming.”

“Herbal treatment is 100% guaranteed for disease/ viruses & cancer cure, the reason why most people are finding it difficult to cure these diseases/infection is because they believe in medical reports, drugs and medical treatment which is not helpful to cure it. Natural roots/herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate health related issues totally. that am very sure off, because I was cure from 6years prostate cancer, via herbal medication from Dr.OYAKHIRE. for more”

“Hidden Gem Alert: Awesome French bar right outside the Bedford Ave stop.All Day Happy Hour on Wednesday with Shrimp/Oysters and some cocktails. The shrimp aren’t huge but for the price, vibe, and everything else? It’s well worth it.Also the grilled cheese with tomato soup was so damn good. Definitely order that, you won’t regret it. Great for dates, casual hangouts, and catch ups.”

“I love this place. It's seriously the Bomb.ComPros:+ Easy street parking+ No trouble accessing the area+ Bom Noodles - absolutely fantastic!+ Great drinks - I tried a few of their cocktails through the Tippler and they always did an amazing job.+ Friendly staff+ Try the Scallion Pancakes - so delicious!IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC”
