Super kind and hospitable staff. Enjoyed red wine during happy hour. Cosy and not loud inside.

Editing down to a one-star rating in solidarity, since I see the racist worker who I didn't encounter still works here. Disgusting. Quit your job.

My two partners and I had an adorable date here at the end of an early bar crawl, around 5pm on a Saturday. Happy hour Sazerac was scrumptious. My mixed-race partners enjoyed their absinthe and vodka drinks. We were at a table, so I don't know how the bartender was. Our server saw that the three of us are together and was putting out please-don't-say-we're-homophobic vibes, haha, so we felt welcomed and we had a great time at our table. The music was loud for my disabled ears but that's standard these days.

One of the best in the business and a laugh and a half to hang. Been frequenting the various business this team has opened through the years and always a stellar experience.

Great cocktails and service!

We rented the entire bar at “We Got Company” for my sister’s birthday, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a better experience. From the very beginning, we worked closely with Jify, who was incredibly comprehensive, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the entire process. He thought of so many details we wouldn’t have even considered, and the package we chose was perfect and very reasonable for the level of service and attention to detail!

The bartenders, Jeremy and Hailey (hope spelling is correct) along with the rest of the staff, went truly above and beyond. You could tell they were genuinely happy to be there, and the energy was amazing all night. They were SO flexible, personable, and kind, and made everyone feel so welcome. I was so stressed and they made the night so easy! The level of care and attention that went into every single drink was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Delish. The cocktails were so spectacular that this place is officially going to be a new staple for me.

They truly made my sister’s birthday unforgettable. Even though we just rented the space for her birthday, the experience felt so personal and special. I will absolutely be coming back. I couldn’t have wished for a better night. Such good vibes and ambience! Divine!

Thanks!

My fiancé and I recently hosted our engagement party at we got company, and I could not recommend them enough. Jify, Jeremy, Hailey and Brian are so easy to work with throughout the whole entire experience. They are professional, fun and so respectful towards our whole group. They made sure everyone was having a good time. The drinks were delicious and vibes were immaculate. Thank you for having us!!!!

Excellent vibes and great music. First round of drinks was excellent.

HOWEVER, do NOT order the hot Sleepwalker. No matter how good it sounds. It is one of the most foul cocktails I’ve ever had. Please do not waste your money on this particular drink.

One of the most disappointing and discriminatory bar experiences I’ve had in New York.

My friends and I walked in and saw an open table for four. When we politely asked if it was reserved, the bartender refused to answer and immediately told us we “could only sit outside” at a tiny table in 40°F weather. When I asked again for clarification, he cut me off and snapped, “Did you guys not hear me?”

The tone and attitude made it obvious we weren’t welcome, and the way he spoke to us compared to other customers had an unmistakable racial undertone. It was rude, unnecessary, and completely unprofessional.

After reading other reviews, this seems to be a pattern. How management responds will show whether they take this seriously.

Avoid this place. No one deserves to be treated like that.

Cocktails were not the best. -We had a an Old fashioned, which felt watery and a cabernet (Philippe Viret) which was too fruity at first.

Service was great, however. The place has a great atmosphere.

This was one of the most disappointing and disturbing experiences I’ve ever had in New York.

The bartender physically pushed me and denied my group entry, claiming the bar was “at capacity,” yet continued letting others in right after us. When questioned, he told us there were “plenty of other bars around for us” and that “we must not get told no very often.” The condescending racial undertone was undeniable, and the hostility made us feel unsafe and deliberately targeted.

Other reviews show this isn’t new. It’s a pattern, not a misunderstanding. How management responds….or doesn’t….will reveal everything about what this place really stands for.

Please avoid this place at all cost.

Terrible experience guy at the front wouldn’t seat us even though there were plenty of seats and threaten to attack my girlfriend ( he was a man) insane behavior. Legitimately do not give your business to this place. Plenty of places in the area to grab a drink

My friends and I had a terrible experience at We Got Company. One friend was told the bar was “at capacity,” yet several white patrons entered right after with no issue. When we questioned it, the bartender became aggressive and said, “You must not be told no often.”
It was clear the issue wasn’t capacity but discrimination. Other people of color were also turned away while white customers were served. Completely unacceptable behavior, especially in diverse Williamsburg. I would give zero stars if I could.

If there’s such a thing as a “healthy” cocktail bar, We Got Company in Williamsburg would be it. A few friends spoke highly of it and took me here. The place turned out to an absolute gem. Great vibe, professional staff and drinks.

I tried three different cocktails, and each one had its own unique character. You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients, which made everything feel lighter and more vibrant than the usual cocktail bar experience. The standout for me was Thinking About You—a cocktail that balanced unique flavors so perfectly.

The atmosphere itself made the whole experience even better. It had that Brooklyn energy—laid-back but buzzing, stylish without being pretentious. I walked in curious and walked out knowing I discovered one of my favorite cocktail bars in the city. Highly recommended.

Best bar in Williamsburg. I stop by here everytime I am in town. They have the best Penicilin, and I always get their BBQ nuts mix with it…a killer combo. The staff has that BK cool, and the music is great. It’s the kinda bar you want to become a regular at.

Bonus tip: Try the “Thinking About You.” A very unique and beautiful drink
