“I have been a customer of Austin’s Ale House for many years, I know them well they know me well. This year I decided to give the excellent and highly favored family cooking team a break and had Austin’s Ale House cater our Christmas Dinner. I went with the ham dinner for 10 to feed 7 people🤣. The ordering was done with ease and so was the pick up. The family did a preliminary tasting...... LOVED .IT and whatever we have left after the “taste test” will have to serve as our Christmas Dinner. Since the taste test was so aggressive we may need to supplement what’s left with a few cheese omelets 🤣. We enjoyed it so much there was much talk about it becoming the new family tradition. THANK YOU AUSTIN’S ALE HOUSE AND MEREY CHRISTMAS........ PS I’m going to need one of those backyard igloos in a day or so. See you then 🎄❤️“

“happy hour on Mondays are worth it !
The wings are very good and the wait is
worth it- Guacamole was freshly made also.
Can be hit or miss some nights but I have always
been happy with this spot. Key- happy Hour!“

“Staff was friendly and very involved on the time we spent. Our instructor was very helpful and made it easy for us to understand how we kept score. We opened a tab and it was a pleasant atmosphere. Music wasn't to loud that you couldn't talk. Every lane was safe as they had cages and made sure people threw in their own caged lane. Overall I'd rate this place 9 out of 10“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“Busy spot with quick and easy service. Fun range in cocktails, crab fried rice is delicious and they had pork cheeks (served with thai chili slices and ginger, which was perfect), which is one of my favorite appetizers.

All flavorful“

“Great tap/can/cellar list. Food is solid and staff is great.“

“Look, there are a million bars in New York. But few of them have a soul. You can feel the intention behind everything at Bar Americano from the weight of the glassware to the garnish on the drink to the playlist. They care about the little things that make up the whole experience. It's the kind of place you bring an out of town friend to show them what a real Brooklyn bar feels like. Easily one of the best no question, I kinda became like the michelin guys reviewing these XD.“

“Good oysters and a happy hour that runs until 7pm. The oysters were fresh and while I’m not a huge fan of red sauce I did enjoy the freshly shaved horseradish. That and a few other small Spanish plates and $12 martinis made this a pleasant low key early evening out“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“My beautiful Grand daughter studied for the GMAT there. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich. The bathroom was nice I washed my hands. My beautiful grand daughter took a shot of whiskey then rode a bus LOL anyhoo great time in Brooklyn for all it was also Halloween and this fun loving grandma dressed as a cat. Then I chased my husband Roger around for some fun LOL I recommend coming here during the day esp sundays very nice reminds me of Ireland and I have ancestors there“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“Beautiful bar and people , I felt at home and am new to the area but enjoy and recommend. I am impressed.“

“My husband and I had the best night at Daniel! Our server Caesar made our anniversary so special with a kitchen tour. Everything was exceptional and Caesar made the night unforgettable!!!“

“Randomly on a Saturday ended up at Hollybrook Lane. And so glad I did the food was exceptional the fried okra was top tier! And the drinks chef kiss. If you like classic throwback tunes paired with comfort food and good drinks. This is the place! Can’t wait to return.“

“kent is the best. extensive beer list with rotating drafts, impeccable energy for sporting events, and some of the best bartenders i've come across in the city. be sure to sit outside in the summer, hunter will take exceptional care of you!“

“Got a couple drinks with my friend here the other night, the happy hour is decent and the drinks were good. However, the service was not so great. There was only one bartender and although it wasn’t super busy it felt like anytime a drink was needed he was chatting with people at the bar or on his phone. It really wasn’t a major issue but it was a little annoying. The space itself is pretty cute but does feel a little half finished. Not a bad spot but there are so many good ones in the neighborhood.“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“They don’t really have food so no rating on that. Great local vibey place. Lots of seating indoor and out, even if it’s a small place. Great DJs and music. People actually dance even though it’s not a club. Security is nice. More of a grab a drink with friends place and listen to music than cocktail bar or club. My go to place on Fulton. Swing by the halal cart after in front of the Franklin station.“

“My favorite spot in Brooklyn.“

“The food is just the best.“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“Great concept. Drinks were on point, bartender was on top of things. Quick serve cocktails with complexity that would take 10x the time to build from scratch . Small quaint space, an expansion is in smart move in the future.“

“This restaurant has the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. Our server was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He name is Jamil! They offered helpful suggestions, checked in regularly, and made us feel welcome. The food was also fantastic, and the overall atmosphere was warm and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent service and a great dining experience.“

“An incredible spot that reminds one of a New York (Brooklyn) that is hard to find these days. Laid back, incredible atmosphere, great people, wonderful music, a brilliant cocktail menu and surprisingly excellent food for such a small kitchen. And no reservations!“

“LOVE this place. I don't come often, but every time I have, I've had a great experience. Chicken fingers are pretty great ?, and bartender Sean (not Shaun or God forbid Shawn ?) is super friendly and makes awesome drinks! I've sat outside, and the service out there is awesome, too! Great vibe, all around. Oh, and the 70's music is outstanding! An extra bonus ? ?“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“Cool place for Beer! The food is good! I had the cheese curds for appetizer and steak & eggs 🍳 All if it was very good! 👌🏽“

“I finally checked out this bar after living here on and off for years. Nice and chill spot. Very cute and dimly lit inside with board games and pinball machines to play which I found extremely unique. The highlight of my night was meeting the bartender, Dee. She was adorable and very sweet. She's very welcoming and accomoodating and extremely friendly.“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Layla!
The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, with amazing food and great energy all around. Everything we ordered was delicious full of flavor and beautifully presented.

A special shoutout to Marcus, our server and bartender, who truly made the it memorable! He was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations . It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such an easygoing and positive vibe.

We will definitely be coming back soon highly recommend Layla to anyone looking for a breakfast brunch or dinner .“

“Great Experience ~ Nice Atmosphere, Fabulous Food and Staff , we will be back !“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Seriously one of the best restaurants/bars I’ve been to. The service was unbelievable and the owner actually served us (we later found out he was the owner and were shocked). We told him we were celebrating our anniversary and he helped us so we had a longer reservation.
The live DJ was so good and we shazamed so many songs that he played off of the records.
Such a great date night spot for the atmosphere and the food was amazing. Small menu but every single thing on it was amazing.
The wine was tasty, the drinks different but exciting. Would recommend the sole e vento white wine, the coa de jima drink, and the cold sesame noodles specifically.
There is also a really cute outdoor area with an outdoor bar!
Overall 12/10 and would most definitely return.“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“Great cocktail cool neighborhood vibe“

“Soooooo this was one of my best finds for a local spot to have drinks along with a few bites to eat. I had the pleasure of being served by Carlos and Kevin. Amazing staff members who have made my experience here at Altar one to remember. I’ll definitely be back here to explore their fabulous drink menu. And the Tartare paired with the fries was amazing. Carlos, the manager and bartender made all drink to perfection. I’ll definitely be back to explore this beautiful gem. Thanks to all the staff who have made this a wonderful experience.“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“
