Who is Richardson and is he single? Love the vibes. Love the drinks.

This bar has all the potential in the world. Great vibe, great location, it should be a solid neighborhood bar. However it’s become a running joke with friends that we will “give the Richardson one more chance” every few months to see if their cocktail recipes have changed. The cocktails are absolutely disgusting. The espresso martini is made with instant coffee and legitimately tastes rotten. It’s such a bummer because I want to love this place! If you want to be utterly shocked and repulsed by an espresso martini that tastes like a mix of black jelly beans and rotten nuts (if that’s even possible?), you gotta try this spot.

Had a wonderful experience celebrating a friend’s birthday. Our server Haley was amazing! I was in complete awe of the fact that she barely wrote anything down and remembered all our orders. She was very attentive in making sure we were ok.The vibes were great with a mix of jazz and funk type of music. The party room is really cute with a Billards table $2 to play.Their menu is pretty good everything was delicious.Fave dish: shawarma chicken hand pies and white bean dip hummus.Fave drink: redheads husband.Will hope to visit again soon ☺️

This is the greatest bar in Brooklyn. The level of detail is unprecedented. The cocktails are constantly changing and top notch. Even the frozen drink, which also changes often, is unique and inventive every time. The playlist is fantastic as well, ask the bartender about it and they’ll be happy to give you its interesting history. Only thing missing is some kind of dessert.

Worhh checking out if you're in the area. Really cool vibes and creative drinks. My one complaint is that the music was way too loud. This is not a great spot for a chill conversation over

A versatile bar serving both the sharks and the flounders. A continuous frozen macheen pumping out potent elixir, with a backroom cubby for debauchery and billiards.

Went after a Christmas party, waited at the bar, at least 5 mins, talking to my co-workers, no one asked if I would like a drink…I missed my Christmas party, would’ve left, but didn’t want to be rude to my coworkers…

The service and the drinks were good. Tables were quickly cleared of empty glasses. Both rooms we sat in were uncomfortably loud.

A classy bar with classy bar food ?? i went in for a happy hour with a girlfriend and i was pleasantly surprised at the selections they have. They have amazing cocktails on the menu and amazing vibes to match them. They also have great happy hour deals ($10 selected cocktails till 6pm every day) and high-quality aperitif for an affordable price. The staff was also really friendly!
