I honestly dont know how every single item on the menu can be this good but hey yes it is! Thank you all:)“

“So excited to see this place open!“

“BEST restaurant I've EVER been to in my life. Literally had me in a choke hold. I came from Florida to visit NY around May and stumbled in with my friend. Ever since then I could never forget them 😭 the staff are so sweet too. I'm coming back Namdo, just you wait. Please open up another shop in South Florida 🙏 I'll pay top dollar for that recipe too“

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

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

“Gold Star is the perfect neighborhood beer bar. It features an excellent rotating selection of brews served by friendly and knowledgeable barkeeps. The inside bar is chill with eclectic music wafting from the turntable. The sidewalk seating is my favorite place in Brooklyn to enjoy a cold beer on a nice day. And their little kitchen serves up tasty sandwiches, cheeses, and meats. It does get crowded on the weekend, so sneak out on a Tuesday afternoon and get yourself a beer.“

“Love this place . Nice drinks and beautiful environment . Very cute bartenders. Lindo demais . ❤️😎“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“This place is a must-visit for a drink or a cocktail. Whether you’re in the mood to socialize or unwind, it’s the perfect spot. The bartenders are exceptional and always attentive. They make sure you’re comfortable and check on your cup regularly, which I appreciate. The prices are always reasonable, and I’ve never been overcharged for anything. I highly recommend this place and give it a 💯% rating 10/10.“

“(Nov 2014) Uber cool high tech mod fitout and no shortage of opinionated beer nerds (complete with obligatory cult brewery t-shirts). Even at 2pm on a Sunday arvo. Doesn’t quite have the warm of a traditional US bar but still pretty friendly. Very international list with a focus on left of centre. Pricing on the high side but reflects the quality of the beers. Served via cabernet glasses - a nice touch. I really grew to like the place and they use a small space well. Can I say it reminds me of Two Row in Melbourne? And....btw....the only other bar I have ever seen where punters are punching out tasting notes!“

“Amazing!! Great place ! Sports! Oysters! Craft Beer“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“Great for a magazine launch. Cult magazine“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Friendly bartender, family friendly too which was a bonus since it was raining and our original plans to go to Brooklyn bowl fell through (closed for private event). Good options on tap and a selection of NA as well. Would steer away from the pies or ask for them to be baked longer. The middle was cold and we've had better pies elsewhere. The bar allows you to bring in outside food so we also got some dumplings and noodles from vanessa's around the corner which were great.“

“Had a blast all 3 times I was there.I will be back!“

“Last minute decision and so happy my kids wanted burgers that night! We were parked minutes from the Williamsburg bridge after coming back from NYC. Went in and it wasn’t busy and we were seated and several right away! Drinks came out minutes later. The pub has a decent menu and seating area but I can see it filing up quickly on regular days. I’d super highly recommend if you’re in the mood for American cuisine; burger and fries and drinks! Super fresh burgers and crispy fries. Grilled chicken was to die for! Let’s no forget the Mac and cheese: definitely get that too. The potato soup caught me off guard and so did the salad bc it was so yummy.“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“I would like to say thanks to the staff of west beech beverage. The manager Mohammed Khan went out of his way to make sure that I was completely taken care of. I lived in the west end for over 40 years and the west beech beverage shop is a great asset to our community by the sea.“

“A nice neighborhood bar with a huge courtyard, the restrooms were clean, the alcohol selection isn't particularly wide, but if you're looking to drink a beer close to home, this is a great place, the staff are nice people at not expensive prices at all.“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

“I was here for a holiday vendor market and had never been here before. The space is beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful and the patrons were wonderful. You don't just happen to pass the place from 'mainland' Long Island, but a worthy space for an amazing night!“

“I live in Forest Hills and I’ve been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn’t taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don’t like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn’t think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn’t spending money and that my type shouldn’t be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return.“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“

“The second time here... Very nice atmosphere, "real chill"... Very good music. People are kind.... And the girl who works here is so kind and polite. She is awsome. ❤️“

“A quaint cozy place. Good food and drinks and great service. My friend has been there before and recommended it. I’ll definitely recommend it myself and return.“

“Never been disappointed with the food from New Thriving Restaurant here on 120-12 Liberty Ave. Queens!!! Can't get enough of the Jerk Chicken LoMein or Garlic chicken chow mein!!! Not to mention they serve you man size portion plates and with friendly/pretty smiles... I'm giving them 5 Stars on the food and service alone!!“

“Best customer service I’ve ever received from bar staff. Very friendly, Attentive, and professional. Music was great !“

“Staff was AMAZING, especially BZ the manager . They kept me and my friend safe, and protected us from an uncomfortable situation. Life savers for real! WONDERFUL DRINKS AND ATMOSPHERE! Plus it’s pet friendly so u get to see cuties as u enjoy ur drink!“

“I recently visited Limosneros and honestly had an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant, welcoming, and perfect for a night out with friends or family. The music, decor, and overall energy made the restaurant feel lively without being overwhelming.

The food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The birria tacos were easily one of the best things on the menu, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The margaritas were also outstanding and paired perfectly with the meal. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and quality of the food.

What really stood out was the customer service. Cynthia and her team created such a warm and welcoming environment that made the experience even better. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.

Overall, Limosneros is definitely a restaurant I would recommend to anyone looking for great food, amazing drinks, and a fun atmosphere. I will absolutely be coming back again soon.“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“We had the absolute best experience hosting my husband's birthday at Other Half Brewing Company, and a huge part of that was thanks to their incredible manager, Matthew and wonderful staff. From start to finish, they made what could have been a complex setup feel seamless, flexible, and genuinely enjoyable.
If you're planning a big gathering where things don’t run on a rigid schedule, this is *the* place. They were so accommodating with guests filtering in and out over a few hours due to different commitments, which made it feel relaxed and had plenty of space for our guests to hang around given the event went for 3 additional hours.

One of the biggest perks it’s both dog-friendly and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to join without hesitation. And unlike so many venues, they’re refreshingly reasonable with their rules and support other local businesses you can bring in pizza from Stretch and your own cake (we brought ours from Francie) without any of those ridiculous cake-cutting fees. That alone made a huge difference.

The drink selection was fantastic across the board. Beyond their excellent beers and beer flights, they also had great cocktails and a solid range of non-alcoholic options, so every guest felt taken care of. We especially loved their Annuelle partner wine series they even provided ice buckets for each bottle, which elevated the setup and made everything look so polished and thoughtful. The setting near Domino Park is stunning, and even with unpredictable weather, it created such a beautiful and memorable backdrop for our celebration.

Guest favorites were definitely the Crickets, Green City, and the rosé people are still talking about them.

Overall, this was one of those rare venues that combines great vibes, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. Matthew and the team truly went above and beyond to make our celebration special.“

“We rented out the TALEA Williamsburg taproom for our wedding welcome event, and it couldn’t have gone better!

Throughout the booking process, Nikki, Bonnie, and the entire TALEA team were a pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond and answered all of our questions. They recommended the correct amount of food for our headcount and steered us towards the package that made the most sense for our event.

During the party, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. We had so much fun and recommend TALEA to anyone in need of an event space!!“

“Cute Good Room offshoot w/vinyl DJ nights, cozy vibes & great tunes ⚫️⚫️🔊🔊“

“Good spot. Pleasant service. Very weak pours. That foam ain't fooling no one. Just cheap way of reducing size of the pour. But nice if you dont mind it. Hot in summers with all the windows. Dan is the man. Rest are blah and interchangeable.“

“If there's a better bar in Brooklyn I haven't found it. For one, it's a full bar, not just beer and well liquor. And the vibe is so chill. Tribe Called Quest was playing when I walked in. We got some De La Soul later. I could drink negronis here all night.“

“I love this store. Very organized, clean lots of products and has an inside Coffee Shop with the best Coffe in Brooklyn/Queens.“

“Great local Thai restaurant with warm hospitality and great drinks!“

“Awesome food and an even better beer selection. And the service (talking to you, Tommy) is amazing!!“

“Loved this place! Very cosy, Really friendly bar staff and nice crowd of people. Can’t wait to go back, will be there in February 2020!!!“

“Nice cozy hangout to unwind and enjoy a glass of Cabernet . Excellent music not too loud so you can actually enjoy a conversation. Great snacks to munch on.“

“I wanna start by saying that that’s where the good espresso is. Been going there from the day it opened since it’s pretty convenient from where i live. Had a chance to taste all the coffees and wine as well. Pretty good overall. At the beginning I didn’t know anyone in that coffee shop and since then everyone has been nothing but friendly to me. Simply Amazing!“

“This place strikes right at the heart of its purpose like an arrow finding its mark.
Affordable prices dance with warm laughter, and behind the bar stands a bartender as sharp as a blade and as charming as a well-told story. The atmosphere carries the calm rhythm of a sports bar that knows how to be easy, chill, and welcoming.

Yet, there’s one moment of interruption that bright corner by the entrance. A sudden flash of light, almost theatrical, as if stepping from day into night through a glowing tunnel. If that brightness softened to match the cozy shadows of the room, the entire space would hum in perfect harmony.

A place that doesn’t try too hard, because it doesn’t need to it already knows who it is.“
