Low-key, fun spot that you wouldn't expect in this corner of Downtown Brooklyn, which makes it all the more refreshing. Good happy hour specials. Diverse crowd, good vibes.

One of my favorite haunts. Look for my boy Joe. Cleanest dive bar I've ever been in.

Very bizarre experience at Livingston Manor. The 50% tip issue on the payment tablet is still prevailing— it was pre-selected when I went to pay, and had to specifically de-select it to pick 20%. It felt underhanded and did not make me want to return to the establishment.Also, an inebriated patron repeatedly touched my hair/adjusted my hair while waiting for the restroom to be free, which was uncomfortable. Yes, this could have happened anywhere, but it happened here, so I’m sharing it.The drinks were decent— nothing to write home about. The weird tip situation and interaction with the patron really soured our experience.

Livingston Manor is a cute little bar located in Downtown Brooklyn - the atmosphere in this place is so lovely!! They have a great menu, I recommend the Nervous Bride. They also make a great margarita!! The staff are kind & accommodating as well. This is a great spot - I'll definitely be back!

Sitting in an airport with a long layover, Google is guiding me down a rabbit hole. Looking at some of these ridiculous bad reviews, The Manor bar is one of the BEST bars around. The staff is fantastic, there are lots of diverse regulars and never a problem. My beer and whiskey are simple, but people seem to really dig the cocktails. I don't think any of the bartenders are trying to trick anyone into 50% tip. If that's an issue, pay better attention to the 20, 25% option. The Manor is my jam!

It feels weird describing a bar in downtown Brooklyn as a "local" dive, but that's exactly what Livingston Manor is - a local spot, tucked away between all the awful chain stores and tall buildings that define the area. It's a sort of booze oasis in the area. Come for the atmosphere, there's always a good energy here, with a warm interior and a nice little patio for the warmer weather. In terms of beers, it's not the most extensive selection but they've got a little variety of what's on tap. All in all, a decent spot for a beer in a chill atmosphere, and those are hard to come by in downtown Brooklyn!

Awesome bar with a great staff. Had some great drinks and enjoyed the low key scene.
Lady bartender with glasses is trash me and my boy was chilling the guy served us was cool the lady ignored us when we spoke Spanish to her so I said to my buddy maybe she don't speak Spanish and then she goes off saying she's offended this and that I asked her to leave me alone and she wouldn't.

Drinks were decent although one bartender made the worst negroni I've ever had. Decent spot in the neighborhood.
