Me & a friend decided to throw a birthday party here after seeing their ad for “free parties”. Inquired & was told we would have a private section to ourselves that would not interfere with other guests, plus a “personal bartender” along with being able to set up some decorations. Upon arrival there was still a major party of people seated right at the same section we were promised. They overbooked for the money & in return gave us a bad experience. Said they would be gone exactly 30 minutes later only for the party to still be there over an hour which made us have to work with the little we had. Our guests arrived only to all be sat the booths which ruined the intimacy of the event. They did not state that there was little to no room to hang anything up either. After we made something happen, someone moved some of our balloons because it was conflicting with the atmosphere yet that could’ve been avoided by the establishment. We weren’t even given some sort of grace such as a free shot, but were pressured to be exactly sure of our party number when it didn’t even matter since everything was all screwed up. Funny enough, we were told if less than the number we gave showed up we would be charged per person. For such poor customer service? Will not be returning. Couldn’t use the patio either as there were so many people. Was also told we could send in a playlist for our party but it must be sent a week prior meanwhile we booked about 2-3 weeks in advance but was never advised. They even closed early despite the place being full, most likely from the stress of having THREE whole parties (an additional showed up after the first & us) beware. There is always a catch. Can’t expect good quality for free!

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!
