Came in at 1030. There was a bartender working. When asked I just had drink A and looking for a less sweet drink any recs? She starred at me and paused. Then said I’m sorry I’m sick. I waited for a response. No answer. I said okay I’ll walk away and figure out myself.

We live in a post Covid era - if you’re sick stay home don’t take it out on me. They turned on the lights at 12 prematurely and kicked us all out.

I share this because this place has potential but management should take a closer look into their customer service standards especially when expecting and hoping for tipping customers.

Happy holidays.

Hosted a welcome party to kick off the wedding weekend and wow was it fabulous!! Drinks are incredible, staff are friendly and helpful, and everyone had a wonderful time. We had pizza delivered and were able to provide a playlist to set the mood, and it was one of the highlights of the weekend!

We stopped in on a Friday afternoon for a few cocktails on our visit to Brooklyn and absolutely loved the experience. Maddie crafted some excellent cocktails and gave us some great advice on other places to visit nearby. The atmosphere was top notch as well; cozy and inviting. We will definitely make it a point to return the next time we are in the NYC area.

Amazing neighborhood craft cocktail bar! We were passing through town and always try to find great cocktail places to try in our travels. I’m so glad we stopped into Congress Bar!! Their cocktails are on point, well made, and interesting. Happy hour was a great way to try a few different drinks ($2 off drinks, check out their website for days/times). Order at the bar, get your drinks, and find a table. Ramon was our bartender and he was friendly, knew his craft, and made it a great experience! We will definitely be back the next time we are in Brooklyn!

Amazing little bar tucked into Brooklyn. Fantastic drinks and the bartend was such a vibe! Absolutely recommend. Don't know what you want? Get the bartender's choice and let them surprise you! I found a new favorite drink in the process.

This small bar seems to be a popular spot in the neighborhood with ample outdoor seating. The bartender greeted us as soon as we entered and was attentive to everyone waiting to order drinks. Despite the small crowd, she was fully aware of who was waiting and who was there first. We ordered margaritas that were surprisingly strong and potato chips. I'm not sure if they offer food, but we didn't ask since we had already had brunch.

Great cocktails and cool spot but the vibe was kind of ruined by the bartender!! She was so dismissive and rude to my friends and I. Not a good experience and may not come back.
