“This is the last Bar on College Point Boulevard & you know what? they're doing a heck of a job to stay around!!! Good laughs, drinks, Food, friendly Jukebox, Pool Table, Bar scenery & neighborhood. i give much props to all the bartenders, Debbie, Claudia, Beckzz & Jimmy.“

“We decided to drop in for a nightcap before returning to the city, eager to sample the highly praised cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a bit of tardiness, I highly recommend the "Scent of a Woman" cocktail. Although my partner found "Josephine Noir" a bit too sweet.

We also got the tuna tartare to share - the portion was small and it lacked flavors. The item was unexpectedly expensive at $23. We were a bit taken aback by the prices, as they seemed to be comparable to those in Manhattan.“

“We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu.

The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special.

The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“Ooh my goodness, I enjoyed. It was pricey but worth it. One of the best burgers I’ve had since I’m a picky eater the waiter was very happy to accommodate me the drinks were delicious as well.i will surely recommend the place. I will continue to eat there. The pl was very nice and clean ?“

“I enjoyed dining here. The service was good. Food was good. Blurriness mimosas and aperol spritz.“

“This happy hour was absolutely enjoyable! While the cocktails were a bit on the sweeter side, the ambiance and service more than made up for it. I’m really looking forward to them introducing some small plates or tapas options to complement the drinks in the future!“

“Drinks and apps were wonderful before the show at beacon. We felt like we were in Europe. Fantastic! We will be back!“

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.“

“Cocktail Magique show was a magnificent experience. Very positive, jaw dropping, interactive show that keeps you engaged throughout the 2 hour memorable performance.“

“Transparently, I only came to meet a friend for one cocktail in the afternoon and she ended up being over an hour late due to an unforeseen circumstance, yet the staff was still so incredibly kind to let me sloooooowwwwly nurse my single iced tea and wait at a a cozy little table near the back until my friend arrived.
It was a quiet day there none the less without too many other diners. Whoever manages this team, does it well. Thanks for making my alone time, not feel so alone.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Grateful for a decent Chinese restaurant that is clean and elegantly decorated. Tofu and chicken dish were very good. The beef stew was more of a beef soup and on the oilier side so wasn’t our favourite. Dumplings were pretty good. Would definitely return and recommend.“

“Booked it for a private special event. Kira the event manager did a fantastic job organizing everything. She recommended a photographer and Yut the violin player so the event was magic. Thank you❤️“

“We came here for a group party of about 20 people. It was easy to reserve, and the staff, food and drinks were all so, so great! Huge shout out to Brenton, the manager, for making everything so easy. The interior was also gorgeous, and it was located on a really cute street. I would absolutely come back, and highly recommend for your next party!“

“Gorgeous spot with amazing martinis
The place is absolutely beautiful: stylish, cozy, and with a really nice vibe. It’s the kind of place that feels perfect for a romantic date or a laid-back evening.
The music was a bit too crossover for the ambiance and my personal taste, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
The martinis were outstanding, easily the highlight of the night. I’d love to see a few snack options on the menu to go along with the drinks, but overall, it’s a great spot I’d definitely return to“

“Perfectly place with good selection and knowledgeable staff. The wine bar is nicely designed just for a few drinks and private parties. There is also equipped with karaoke and good sound system for singing.“

“I went to Bartleys the other day with my friends. The atmosphere was fantastic, drinks were amazing and the service was even better! Especially our server Ellen. Ellen gave great recommendations and made our experience extremely easy and fun all night!“

“We came from Maryland and searched for a bar, this came up and we couldn’t pass on it. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing music. Perfect for alternative people and very inviting. Honestly wish this place was closer to home because this place is awesome, and not to mention the deals and drinks are fantastic. If you’re in the area you have to stop here.“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“

“This place was absolutely phenomenal. By far my favorite bar in Brooklyn. Thank you to Danny, who took care of me and my partner the entire night gave great recommendations and made some of the best mezcal Cocktails I’ve ever had the ambience in this place is a 10 out of 10.“

“A+ across the board. Unbelievable service. Sitting at the chef’s table was a little smoky but a blast. Was nearly impossible to get a reservation and I hate to say it but it’s worth the hype! Hope we’re able to land another reservation again soon because I’m going to be thinking about this meal for a long time.“

“Literally the best place ever. Sojourn Social is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in, always going above and beyond to make every visit special. The food is absolutely incredible and the drinks are just as tasty and fun. It’s my happy place in the UES and the first place I take anyone who visits NYC. I literally have people who request it now when they come back into town - cannot say enough good things!!!“

“This place is the tits!!! It’s absolutely my favorite bar in the area. Always impeccable vibes, staff, and drinks. Good space, layout, and styling. Groovy. The kind of place you run into Marc Rebillet on a random Thursday night. Dog friendly too!
Also their food has NO BUSINESS BEING THIS GOOD!? 🤯 I was actually shocked after going so many times that I had been missing out on the bar food menu.
Anyway - go there. But don’t ruin it. Be cool.“

“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.“

“Amazing experience! We found this speakeasy and is a hidden gem! The ambiance is enchanting, the food is very delicious and the drink are fantastic! Specially the martinis. Our waiter was Maria, she was outstanding , super friendly and accommodating. A must visit for a memorable night out! Ask for Maria if you have a chance!“

“My favorite bar in Brooklyn!
The cocktails are unique and delicious, the vibe is great, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Such a good time hanging out here and the jazz is wonderful and sets up a wonderful atmosphere. Not too loud yet lovely and fun“

“This is literally me and my bffs favorite taco/margarita spot . I’ve been here now at minimum 5 times and I haven’t been disappointed yet! Service is ALWAYS great and the food and drinks always do what they need to do. Their esquites is honestly the best I’ve ever had & the tacos are always soo full & flavorful. 5 stars across the board.. I ALWAYS recommend this spot honestly“

“I was visiting family and we came to this restaurant, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The overall atmosphere was comfortable yet classy. Our food was prepared and displayed perfectly and the portion sizes were just right. The owner even came over and talked to us to make sure that we were happy and that we were enjoying ourselves. Definitely would come back, I highly recommend Porta 23.“

“Excellent atmosphere. Comfy seating, bar seats, or small tables, there’s a spot for anyone. The craft control menu was great, hard to choose which one to try. Extensive list of wines and spirits as well. Gonna have to try some food next time I come visit the city.“

“THIS.PLACE.IS.VOIBES.

Let me just start by saying I’m always looking but rarely find for solid neighborhood joints that I can rely on for 1) QUALITY, 2) consistency (a thing that I feel so many places lack), 3) affordability and 4) vibes

This place delivers on all fronts, truly. Been living in the neighborhood for a few years and there’s a bunch of options but not many places that executes on all 4 fronts.

THE PIZZA. The za is literally so effing good. The plain and pep are the literal epitome of a NY slice. The blend of their house made sauce and the way the mozz melts into it is divine. They got all the other options and some house specialities you can’t go wrong with but yea.. give their plain a go and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Price wise… it’s crazy but their slice is actually cheaper than Gino’s across the street. Guys.. it’s CHEAPER no knock on them but yall needa give this place a try.

The bar the bar the BAR in the back yall. This opened up as a speakeasy type concept not too long ago but damn. This part is the VOIBES forreal. Sick ass buildout and the crew is sick. Just go and you’ll figure it out. They also opened up their back patio recently and it’s huge and just everything.

If you’re still with me, thanks. But this place is downright worth a try. You’ll thank yourself.“

“I definitely recommend ! Perfect spot to hangout with family and friends ! Thank you abhi for a very fun weekend“

“This place had been on my list for a while, so I was so happy to finally get around to checking it out! I met up with some friends for HH and it checked every box and more. From its warm ambiance, to the delicious food aroma, to the lengthy list of cocktails- I will definitely be back to continue to try all the cocktails I couldn’t get to yesterday!“

“When the ramen craving hits, this spot is a go-to. The broth is deep and flavorful, every bite feels comforting, and the bold flavors never let you down. What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere—it’s cozy without trying too hard, warm in a way that makes you want to linger. Perfect for a quick bowl or a slow, unhurried meal.“
