Jaffa is a hidden gem almost speakeasy style up a set of stairs behind K'far and under Laser Wolf. The staff was super nice and the bartender was helpful and made recommendations and also delicious drinks to order. Definitely want to come back during the summer months for the outdoor space but a great option for pre dinner drinks or an after dinner cocktail. Great cocktails, delicious bites, and a very fun chill vibe even on a cold rainy Brooklyn night.Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator available

Jaffa was a great venue for a recent large group event we hosted. The interior is stunning, being a newer location, everything is very sleek and modern with aesthetically pleasing touches throughout. I’m not surprised given the reputation Hoxton hotels (which is where this bar is located) has for beautiful ambiance. There was plenty of space for people to move around and the restaurant itself is a sort of indoor-outdoor venue.Drinks wise the few cocktails I tried I thought were well balanced between alcohol and sweetness. The food does skew more towards bar bites over a full meal but if you’re here to hang out with friends it’s a great compliment to the drinks.

Jaffa is a hidden gem for drinks in the Williamsburg area. The drinks are awesome, the environment is clean and exquisite, and the service is great. I've never ate here, but I recommend grabbing drinks during the summer months when they open the canopy. It's a nice rooftop feel. However, I went on a fall Saturday night and the place was completely empty. I walked upstairs and even wondered if the bar was open due to a chair blocking the entrance. If I didn't ask the waiter if they were open, I would assume they were closed and would've left. If it was near closing hours, I would understand, but it was 2 hours prior to it. Regardless, this place is great. It's extremely spacious and offers a high quality dining/drinking experience.
We hosted an event here and I cannot say enough good things about the staff, bar, and the place overall. Gabe was fantastic and made sure our group had everything we needed!

Aesthetic and taste is there. Espresso Martini was really good like chocolate milk for a kid lol. The seafood was delicious. It's pricey but a cute date.

Going to Jaffa Cocktail and Raw Bar like getting a 2-hour vacation to Eilat in the middle of Brooklyn. It's awesome.The feel of the place is wonderful. The bar is open to a terrace where people can sit indoors or outdoors. The interior is decorated in citrus hues that make you feel whisked out of the grey concrete jungle of Brooklyn. Food is 5 stars without question. We got the French onion labneh dip, the pull apart challah, and the Chef's Choice for 2 (this is the move). The French onion dip and challah were the best I've ever had in my life. The Chef's Choice is a selection of raw bar items. The shrimp cocktail was again best in class for me and the other seafood preparations were revelatory. We had prepared for Jaffa more as a first course than dinner (haha) so we ended up going to L'Industrie after for pizza. I read that it's not intended to be a place to have a full meal so much as to get excellent drinks and apps like raw bar. Prices are comparable or better than similar establishments at NYC, meaning that if you understood what you're getting with a place that focuses on raw bar and apps, you wouldn't experience any sticker shock. I enjoyed this so much that I'd definitely bring friends from out of town or visit more often if I lived closer.

The entrance for this spot is on a side street, technically it is located in the same building of the hotel but the actual entrance is on 9th street. The ambiance in this place is something to scream about from the top of your lungs! There are so many beautifully decorated areas to eat, drink, and chat that all give different vibes. Came for the drinks, which were amazing, and definitely got hungry. The pull a part bread is PERFECTION. The butter adds that extra dimension that you wouldn’t even think you need. And oysters! All in all, 10/10 would definitely. & order the pull a part bread, you won’t regret it!
