So happy decided to try this place out. Upon arrival it’s a total vibe. Bear The Bartender was very personable. The drinks were phenomenal. Will definitely be back next time I am in the area.

An elite name in boutique cocktail culture, make sure to come early as there are no reservations and the line can get long. Even if you do have to wait, this booze forward program moves patrons along at a nice clip so you'll be inside soon enough. The atmosphere inside is always buzzing with a wide range of seating options but my favorite is always the bar seats where you can witness these master craftsman create their creative cocktails from scratch. Some important notes, there is no menu of cocktails, you merely need to tell your server/bartender what base spirit you like and the flavor profile you enjoy most. The other is that you DO NOT walk right in. Don't even open the door as there is a velvet rope there to stop you even if you do. Simply stand near the door and someone will help you soon enough. Oh and don't come here for wine and beer. That's not the vibe here.

Really solid atmosphere. Perfect place to bring a friend especially if they are from out of town. The bartenders put a good deal of thought into the drinks, and the drinks they make you are all really fun and yummy. Make sure to get there early if you don’t want to wait outside on line for ~30min to one hour.

Trust is the key thing here, trust your mixologist can make you a good cocktail with just your preferences in a cocktail. The red rope entrance is a nice touch lol

Terrible experience by every metric.
1) Service - extremely slow and understaffed. Received drinks 30 minutes after ordering. 1 bartender and 1 server serving 40 people on a Friday night just isn’t enough.
2) Drink Quality - boring, basic drinks with low-quality alcohol. Some of us even felt extremely ill and nauseous all evening after trying one of the cocktails (which was our only drink of the night)
3) Creativity - seems like they’re just cutting corners here by creating a list of 15 average cocktails in the back and just matching every order to one. We gave very clear guidance that was totally ignored. Asked for a spicy drink - got a bland pisco sour. Asked for a drink with apple flavors - got an old fashioned. They could have randomly given us any drink in a cocktail book and it would have made about as much sense as the drinks we actually got, in the context of what we ordered.
Overall, save your money and go to Attaboy where they actually pull off this concept well.

Horrible horrible service. Took forever to get us all of our drinks. Gave people who came after us drinks before us. Then the drinks that took the longest to come because the waitress totally forgot they tried to make it up to us with a small glass of champagne then told us later that they'd give us another drink on them on top but actually it was just the champagne so we gave them nice tip thinking it's for 2 drinks. Very bad experience

One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to in the city
I LOVE a “no menu” kind of spot. Fresh Kills delivers!! Exceptionally good cocktails and solid bartenders who can make anything your heart desires. I’d travel to come here again!
Definitely give it a go.

Worst service I've ever experienced in my life. After, telling our waitress about the issues we encountered she said with a huge attitude “I’ll take it.” My group and I did absolutely nothing for her to treat us that badly, I thought it was a sporadic issue but after reading all other reviews I can see how this is the norm at this place. I will never be back.

Really cute place but from the moment we arrived the service was TERRIBLE - our server was extremely rude and non apologetic about it. We were celebrating my friend’s bday and we were taking a picture and the manager (blonde guy) came to our table, screamed and cursed at us.
We let our server and the manager known about our experience and they didn’t even cared to apologize.
From a girl from Brooklyn, definitely do NOT recommend!

Worst Experience Ever!! Never coming back to this Bar!!
I recently visited Fresh Kills Bar in Williamsburg to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. From the moment we arrived, the staff was consistently rude to our group. Both the manager and the hostess exhibited particularly unprofessional behavior. Their hostility and lack of courtesy significantly impacted our evening and left us very disappointed. I would not recommend this establishment based on our experience.
Living in Brooklyn for the past 10 years and first time that me and my group gets treated so badly.
