This place has much more ambience than the pictures online account for! Great vibe, lighting, cool backyard and good beers.
We came on a whim on Monday night, for the Rev. Vince Anderson gig. It's 100% worth your while. It's real. Can't believe they've been running it for 15+ years. Something that cool on a pay-what-you-wish basis, that's hard to find.

Had a very bizarre, unpleasant, hostile experience. In a group visiting NYC for live music, all were fairly easily let through the door with out-of-state drivers licenses but they do not recognize Federally verified, Real ID compliant, Native American tribal photo IDs. An expressly discriminatory practice and clearly in the wrong, as every other bar, TSA, etc. scan and recognize the validity of such ID cards easily. Rude bouncer was of no help repeating to us “read the sign” - the “sign” in question implied that only NY-issued ID’s are acceptable (which makes no sense as the rest of us with out of state ID’s, those of us who are white, were accepted). One bouncer was relatively understanding, but the other + the manager were outrageously rude and even aggressive. They seemed to just be looking for a reason to discriminate. Tribal enrollment IDs are uncommon but valid and legal forms of identification.

Doesn’t accept digital IDs 🍅🍅🍅. Feel like if it’s good enough for Cops, government buildings, and JFK airport, it’s fine for a random bar under a highway. Would’ve settled for a stamp that said I was under aged even though I litterally could have fathered the security guard.
Came here for salsa night on Thursday. The DJ was 🔥🔥🔥🔥FIRE! Sure small cramped spot tho but you come to get it done anywayyyy.

Staff is sexiest
I absolutely love this place. It’s the best ,a real Brooklyn vibe. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, and the people there make you feel at home. There’s so much love in this space, you can truly feel it the moment you walk in. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who makes this place so special.

Came here for a friend's birthday. Was getting drinks and tipped well enough every time. The one time I didn't tip a bartender flipped me off????? Disgusting. Spoke to other staff about it and got an excuse for the behavior. Never coming back.

I was grabbing a few drinks for a friend's birthday and the bartender is totally out of line. The guy flipped me off for not leaving a tip. Even though I had been up a few times before, left them a tip on each one and the one time I didn't, I get flipped off? Absolutely wild. I wasn't rude to him. I asked for my drink, didn't say anything else and that's how they treat customers. Never come here

The local drinking hole with music venue, and a pretty darn good taco truck. Gets busy and a bit rowdy. Just what you want on a Friday night
