Great drinks. Great backyard. Try the espresso martini. Not listed on the menu but it’s delicious. Mother’s Milk was great. The smoked Paloma is great too. Great green wallpaper too. Very comfortable bar.

This place makes awesome cocktails in a space that promises an intimate night out. It's decorated in a charm I can only describe as "Victorian library meets garden party". There's warm wood accents and dangling vines illuminated in soft, low light. I shared a booth with my date as we sipped on our drinks and enjoyed the evening. Space is limited so you may have to be patient before snagging a seat but in my opinion, it's worth the wait. I'm excited to return!

Come here for the excellent cocktails and vibes. The service at the bar is very reliable and warm. Food menu is small but everything they offer is solid. During the summer and fall, the back patio is great.

We went into Diamond Lil to grab a drink and hide from the rain while on holiday. It was so good we went back another two times afterwards! The server was so friendly and incredibly skilled that our drinks were amazing each time. The cocktail list has some... diamonds... on it that are worth trying. Phoenix Down was my favourite. Nice beer selection too and all the seating was comfortable too

Patio is really nice. Whole place is chill and vibey. You seat yourself and order at the bar. The Flightless Bird and the Black Ruby Highball were both excellent and complex. Solid prices for craft cocktails in Brooklyn

Such a beautiful bar. Impeccable Parisian forest fairy vibes. Good happy hour drink specials. All of that was stomped and killed by the bartender blasting an entire Killers album at full freaking blast at 4:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon so loud we had to shout to hear each other.Seriously, it chased us out of the bar. You gotta have a playlist with vibes and volume to match the decor, my man.

Vaya con dios is one of the best drinks ever made. They also make a wicked old fashioned

Definitely a favorite bar in the neighborhood! Haven’t tried the food yet but come for drinks all the time. The cocktails, wines, draft beers, bartenders, and ambiance are always on point. Love the art nouveau interior details and the backyard is cute too ?
