Great cocktails- short but well executed menu! Everything we had was presented beautifully, vibrant flavors and generous but not overlarge servings. We went two nights in a row! From California but staying at the Fairfield 2 blocks away....

All I have to say is the service was so bad, the only reason I paid for the food was to make my exit less difficult. I took the food to go and never ate it. I gave it away and went somewhere else to eat.

This place is so comforting, the food, drinks,sitting, and the service. I've been there 3xs this week. The food is based on pretzels, like sliders, sandwiches, etc. You will love it.
Parking: Construction is around the area. Don't let that worry you.
Wheelchair accessibility: Enter from street level.
The soda spout was not working, all the sodas was FLAT, how can you make a Jack & Coke, they couldn't. Ginger ale was flat however the kept trying to serve it. The bartender said someone was gonna fix it but then later said it been broke that's why he brought his own cans of Sprite. The place is expensive for no reason,$16 buck for 5 wing flings with no flavor. Needless to say won't be recommending this place.

Checked out this spot yesterday. I had a good time, but I felt like it was our servers first day. He didn’t know anything about any of the beer. He was pushy and unfriendly. He asked us to leave as soon as we paid the bill so he could turnover the table. Yes, this is how it goes, but young man needs to learn a bit of tact. The beer and the pretzel was good.

We like coming here sometimes after an evening session at the climbing gym next door . There’s usually ample seating on weeknights. Diego, the bartender is attentive and friendly. The bar foods there and drinks are good, especially the garlic fries and there’s a nice big screen so I’d imagine it would be pretty fun to catch a game. The “healthier” bowls are def hit or miss. I kind of wish they revised their menu a bit for more well rounded plant based options.

Went during Restaurant week. It was a good deal, and the food was amazing! Salmon caviar and swiss potato pancakes, salmon grilled steak, and olive oil cake. Everything was pretty much top notch.

Asked for a campari and soda poured tall, the bartender, who was drunk, had no idea what that means. I asked for extra club, he said ok but poured it regular. I realized when I got home that the clay stein that I had with me was gone, I must have set it on the bar and it was taken. I take partial responsibility for this.
As a bartender myself, I've grabbed glasses that I had sold customers, it's a reflex, I get that. But it's a giant clay-ceramic German stein that I had just purchased around the corner.

Went here for brunch. I wanted to like this place, but... Firstly, they don't seem to know what they want to be: fancy Swiss/German restaurant or sports bar?
The service was good-natured but about the most amateurish I've ever seen. I'm amazed that this place has been open a year and a half because I would have guessed they opened two days ago. Despite being the only customers in the place when we arrived, we had to remind them that we ordered drinks. When the food came, they didn't remember to bring utensils, or bring or offer any ketchup, hot sauce, salt, pepper, etc.
The mimosa was pretty much all orange juice and no champagne. The bloody mary was ok but only ok and on the small side.
The food was pretty good. The omelette was tasty although the egg was overcooked and the potatoes were unseasoned. The fried chicken sandwich was really good although the fries were clearly right out of a freezer bag.
Ambience was "glass and concrete box with huge TVs and club music blasting." People started arriving after us, and with only ten people in the place it was too loud to have a conversation without yelling.

What a gem of a find on a fluke Gowanus outing! If we hadn't had dinner reservations we would've stayed there and eaten! The food looked fresh and delicious! Next time-which there will be!- even though it's a trek from where i live! About the cocktails-the most delicious(!!) vodka gimlet ever given to me! I cannot stress enough how tasty -i want one now! At first i thought Jordan made it but no-it was Allison! An excellent team in a gorgeous space serving up deliciousness!
We usually stop by after climbing (food is okay) and today we were told it was last call and said we'll have one drink and leave. As soon as we sat down they turned up the music unbearably loud that we were forced to drink our drinks quickly and leave .. I've worked in the in the industry for 10 years as well so I know when it's on purpose. Was a bit too on the nose to kick all of the customers out. Not the best experience.

Local Gowanus sports bar punches well above its weight with chefy dishes for deli prices. Pre fix menu was only 30$! When I walked in and saw hockey players smashing into each other, I did not expect smoked salmon cured in beet juice or pea purée under trout with crispy skin. The steak which was ordered, medium rare came very rare, but they knew what they were doing, because that particular cut was tender and juicy at a rare temperature. The flat bread was bad, too rich! Needs some acidity. Dessert was my favorite. Beautifully balanced, not too sweet or rich, featuring excellent flavors and a beautiful presentation. Also the draft/bottle list were great and the staff was friendly and attentive.
