“My friends and I had a lovely afternoon at The Rockaway Hotel Pool house. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess, Isabella, who made us feel so welcomed. Our beautiful table was in the perfect spot to take in all of what the Rockaway Hotel has to offer. The outside bar and Pool house are exquisite. The pool was bustling with excitement. Our waiter, Andrew, was polite and helpful . I highly recommend coming to The Rockaway Hotel because their staff is highly professional and attentive.“

“I've been waiting for this kind of place to come to Rockaway. It's what it needed. Truly a gem. B116th Rockaway just got bumped up with this place. Welcoming atmosphere, ambiance perfect, excellent choice of menu and the drinks keep flowing. Great live music too or DJ. I enjoy having my night caps here and a place to relax. All the best to Kat @ The Rose Den 🌹. Well done.“

“A great place to eat in and friendly atmosphere to have a few pints staff very attentive ☘️👍✅“

“Frozen Sangria. Arepas are not worth it. Empanadas are.“

“This place was AMAZING!! We paid for 1 hour. $40 per person. We booked around 4 on a Friday and we had the place almost completely to ourselves! Julie helped us out from start to finish. We were 3 newbies just looking for something fun and different. Awesome experience! Even though we all kinda sucked....it was crazy fun! Definitely give it a shot. Great idea for a night of fun hanging out with friends or family. In addition to the axe throwing, there's archery, throwing stars and knives! Check it out! You won't regret it!“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

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

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great sandwich app was a little qurkie nice place would read“

“Tons of interesting dishes and all were hits pretty much. The heirloom tomato had such a acidic punch that really elevated the dish. The whole fish with chinmichurri sauce is amazing. Their wine selection by the glass is also great. Baba gahnouj is delicious. The only thing I would skip is the brussel sprouts“

“The food is amazing! We had the mussels, Brussels sprouts, artichoke hearts, chicken, shepherd’s pie, fish sandwich, and burger. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was so much fun. Really had a laugh at the bathroom with all the googly eyes.“

“I truly love coming here, it’s like being transported into a cozy realm through Lynchian red curtains. The vintage aesthetic honoring the space’s history, the plating, the ambiance, the playlist, the exceptional and welcoming service - all of it makes me feel at home (away from home).

The food is truly sublime and without any pretentiousness - yet with creative attention to detail and the perfect sized portions - just truly delicious. I recommend grabbing a few dishes for the table and sharing to have the full experience of the menu, which also makes it even more familial feeling. I tend to try the specials and lean toward the seafood delicacies.

Don’t forget to save room for the one-of-a-kind desserts and treat yourself to a cocktail, you deserve it - duh! 💖“

“The music is always good, people are fun, bartenders are friendly, decor is pretty metal and punk oriented, a fun place to go to.“

“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“

“The food was impeccable. The shish barak stood out immediately — brought fully to life by Huda’s deft touch of spice. Among the appetizers, the bandora showcased heirloom tomatoes at their absolute freshest, while the rakkat achieved a rare and graceful balance between sweet and savory. The kibbeh naya is a must-try for anyone who appreciates raw meat.

Service, courtesy of Ismail, was warm without being intrusive, striking exactly the right note. We will be back.“

“Everything. Great place. Great summer place. Now it will be open 365 days a year“

“Local hangout with tasty drinks!“

“Came here on a date night with the wife who is Uruguayan. The provolone was a fantastic starter, reminded me of the one I had during my last visit to Uruguay. In my wife’s 2+ decades in the states I’ve never heard her rant and rave over a chivito the way she did theirs. She said and I quote “this is the best chivito she’s had since being in the USA,” so that should tell you something. I had the Uruguayan Ribeye and I left just the cutting board it came on, nothing was safe. I was hesitant about the Duck fat potatoes because it’s not something I haven’t tried, but they were perfect. The ribeye was to die for, I wanted more. Dessert was just as good too. My wife loved the flan, and I’ll take her word because all flan is bad to me. The Alfajor was so damn good. It was different than the traditional one I’m used to eating, but fantastic nonetheless. We will definitely be returning, and telling everyone we know to travel to Brooklyn to give this place a try.“

“1. The bar is gorgeous. I asked for a white negroni sans suze and madame bartender made it perfectly. Exquisite.

2. I’ve never been a part of the french fries debate until coming here. Best french fries I’ve had hands downs. Had with the garlic aioli and oysters. Oui Oui.

3. The playlist in here is another level. Perfect volume, great for conversation but also great for listening. Explores all genres but with an excellent through line. Thoroughly enjoyed and would come back for the vibes alone.

4. The design and flow of this space is very well thought out. Highly recommend popping into Milly’s and making it a regular spot on your list. 10/10 recommend.“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“Decent spot for some live music. It gets tight in there, and the chairs suck but it's a great spot in the stuy to pop in and listen to good music. Food is decent as well but it can be awkward to eat depending on where you're sitting.“

“Great spot for watching World Cup , sat on curbside and watch the game beer selections is great same as the food but the best part is services Hunter is so kind and took a good care of us . If you want to hang out in Bedford this is the spot get the outside seat and watch the game with millions dollars views .“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“Can’t believe we haven’t found this place sooner! The wine is delicious, wonderful happy hour deals, food is incredible and such a great value. Absolutely love the tartare and oysters. Rada was an amazing server. Very kind, accommodating, and attentive. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Great atmosphere, great service, and good drinks.“

“Excellent burgers“

“this is a very cute karaoke bar with good food options and lots of drink options. The service was great. I really enjoyed my time here. I also love the private room. They aren’t too expensive as well as the food prices. I recommend coming for a happy hour as they are really cheap as well would come again.“

“Trove is a neighborhood gem, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner but also amazing for a private party. In July I booked Trove for a daytime weekend private event, a surprise brunch celebrating my dad’s 70th birthday. He had a ton of family coming in from Ireland so we wanted the event to feel special and the food to be excellent. We also wanted to have flexibility to mix and mingle and enjoy each other’s company. Trove absolutely delivered. The food and drinks were delicious, which was not surprising given my previous visits there. The party guests were raving about it as they ate—salad, yogurt, French toast, the pizza of course, etc!

However the real star is the owner, Kaylan. She coordinated the party details with me and manned the bar for the entire party. She was so helpful, anticipating our needs before we did and pitching in with all requests (finding a playlist my dad requested, lowering the music for the “surprise” part of the party, taking a group photo, clearing tables as folks were eating, refilling drinks and keeping the self-serve drink station staffed). She was so lovely that, again, my family was raving about the service even in the midst of the party. My 10 month old was also there and as always Trove is a great kid-friendly spot during the day. I’m a lifelong loyal customer now and can’t wait to be back for my next brunch or dinner!“

“everything food awesome great flavor people very friendly Awesome“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter in law at the Silverlight Tavern and everything was absolutely 10 Star Perfect!! The food, the party room, the bartender and the management were all so wonderful and made our event the perfect opening for a fantastic wedding weekend! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“Great fresh food. Amazing service. Drinks are on point.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“Great place for drinks - solo, date night or girls night out. This spot was recommended to us by the owner of Lowerline and the vibes were immaculate. Very cozy, sexy and intimate. Lots of couples were on dates but also a great spot to catch up with a friend with good cocktails! The jazz music playing in the background was a nice touch for me! This felt like a hidden gem and will be back!“

“Just a great neighborhood pub.“

“Great, fun space! Has a shuffleboard inside. Food was good: the pickled onions are yummy but the fries are mid.

Hope to be back again, found out they do host comedy shows monthly.

Update: they no longer have shuffleboard and I am not sure about the comedy shows BUT their Chicken Cheese Nachos is BANGING!“

“Food was great! And bonus, the husband/wife team at Concrete were so welcoming and made you feel like they had you over for dinner.“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“Had such a fun time at C List Bar! I went for karaoke with my mom on a Saturday and we had an absolute blast. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was fun, and the location is super convenient. It was the perfect spot for a fun night out, especially if you’re looking for good vibes, karaoke, and a place where you can just let loose and have a good time. Definitely would come back! 🍹🎤✨“

“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.“

“Incredible selection of craft beer. Great vibe, close to many great places to eat, the Barclay Center, Gowanus. Heated outdoor beer garden.“

“Great service. Very big place. Great for large gatherings. I went during the day to have a drink. It was pretty empty at that time, which is fine by me. There's a lot of seating area, including couches. I tend to like cozier places. They also have a photo booth. They have a good Happy Hour. Hannah is a great bartender and very nice. I would come back even though, as I mentioned before, I like cozier places“
