“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“

The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Absolutely fantastic, touching documentary.“

“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.“

“I hosted an engagement party here and all I can say is that it was an AMAZING experience. The space is so fun and funky and the drinks were stellar. Most importantly, the staff here is one of a kind. They were so sweet and helpful throughout the night and made the whole event truly effortless. Can’t recommend Lise and Vito enough! (Also their jello shots are a must try!)“

“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!“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“My favorite spot in Brooklyn.“

“Edit: I forgot about the great music from the DJ. Many dope blends that kept me in a good space as I ate. That definitely added to my experience.

To the owner: This was Friday 7/18 around 8:30pm. I believe there were two on staff servers, one catering to indoor guests and the other to outdoor. I stood in the middle of the floor for almost 10 minutes and nearly walked out before I noticed the small empty table by the door. I'm a very gracious person, so if I could find a real excuse for either server to walk past me multiple times I'd definitely make it for them. Even the bartender just looked at me when I approached the bar. If I experience that again, I'll be more vocal but that night I did not want to chase anyone down just to be served.

REVIEW: I walked in during the evening just after happy hour looking to try their menu for the first time. It was busy and I wasn't greeted when I entered so I stood by the bar for a bit before grabbing a menu and just finding a seat. It took a while before I was addressed. I ordered a Rose Gold cocktail which was enjoyable. For eats, I ordered the Shaquanda's wings, fries and Garlic Broccolini. The wings were pretty standard, cooked decently with an interesting take on a buffalo sauce. They had a little kick. The fries were typical fries done right and went well with ketchup. Lastly, the Broccolini was tender and buttery. Easily the best item of the 3 and had a familiar taste almost like broccoli in garlic sauce from a Chinese takeout spot. I likely wouldn't try the wings again if I'm going there just for food. I'd come back for that Broccolini and to try their other cocktails. If it's busy again when I come, I would hope not to wait as long to be seated or addressed regardless of how busy it may be. Otherwise, it's worth another visit.

“Best Bloody Mary! Best Saturday play list! Great bar! ❤️“

“High expectations, but not impressed with this visit. Wednesday early dinner , 7/23/25, 5pm.
No issue with availability and service, very attentive.
Chicken dish with sauce ok, but asparagus flimsy and green bean sized while mashed potatoes served ice cream scoop and lacking in flavor.
Long awaited favorite of mine, fish and chips.
Fish better than most in area, still lacking in wow factor while the (chips) were a flimsy mess , no crisp or seasoning.
As to beer, Stella was fine but Blue Moon dark and flat.
Better luck next time.“

“How nice it is when you get to a bar and after 5 minutes you feel content and familiar to the place and then simply think “ahh, what a good bar”. Happy to discover it, staff were fantastic, looking forward to coming back. One of the better ones for sure“

“I went to the Summer Thunder event to catch the legendary Kid Congo Powers perform a free(!) show. I do wish that the venue was clear about the music starting 2 hours after the doors opened, because I would’ve arrived a bit later, but the show was great. I got a whiskey sour inside and it was delicious, as well as a steak tostada from the taco truck in the backyard. It hit the spot and I wish I had another, two days later. I ate it too quickly to remember to take a photo. Bring cash for the truck!

Vegetarian options: Quesadillas, veggie tacos/tostadas“

“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 ? ?“

“Came here for brunch a couple weeks ago and loved everything about it. The food was delicious, portion sizes large and quick service. I will for sure be back to try the entire dip offering but truly you’re not going to go wrong with whatever you order here.“

“Great cocktail cool neighborhood vibe“

“Easily my favorite bar in Brooklyn!
Great vibe, super queer, unique indie games (that are 100% free!!! Barcade could never) and cheap drinks. During happy hour u can get two drinks for like $12-$16.
The hot dogs are a nice touch also, good way to pace ur drinking. The shallot of the colossus tastes like heaven after a couple drinks lol.
I love wonderville, it’s a great place to bring friends or a date. It’s a real gem that I hope thrives forever :)“

“Great place to hang out! This bar has a fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection of drinks. Whether you’re looking to relax after a long day or have a fun night out with friends, this is the perfect spot. The music is good, the vibe is cozy yet lively, and the service is top-notch. Definitely a place worth visiting!“

“Solid bar with solid popups. Follow @better_than_porridge and see when she'll show up there if you want food, and real damn good food at that too.

Bartenders are always on their A game and awesome people. Even better - dogs allowed so you can pet everyone else's dogs“

“the vibe at IYKYK was nice... the food delish... drinks on point... varied music including latin beats which to my taste was awesome plus they have hookah (cash only but worth it)... honestly prices were pretty affordable and the service was really nice... our waitress Tiffany was attentive even though her section was busy when we first got there...our food and drinks didn't take long... I went with my cousin and we both had a blast... It was our first time going to IYKYK, and we're def planning on going back 💃🏼“

“Local hangout with tasty drinks!“

“Wednesday night’s jam session is the best around. The quality of the musicians who stop by and play a couple of tunes is first class!“

“Last month we held a surprise birthday party for my daughter there and it was great! The staff was great, the drinks were amazing, and the manager was incredible. She was very accommodating and welcoming. Give her a raise!! I’ll definitely be back! Their double margaritas are LIFE!“

“(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!“

“This drink by Samantha is no ordinary slushy margarita; it's a perfectly crafted frozen masterpiece that truly respects its premium ingredients. The consistency is smooth and velvety, never watery or icy, delivering a consistently delicious experience from the first sip to the last. The drink is made with Patrón Silver tequila, which provides a crisp, clean foundation that is never harsh.
The natural tang of fresh lime is the star of the show, perfectly balanced by a hint of sweetness from agave, so it tastes bright and zesty rather than cloyingly sweet. The orange liqueur adds a lovely complexity, rounding out the flavor profile and making for a truly sophisticated take on a frozen classic. Served with a satisfying salted rim, this margarita offers the ideal blend of sweet, sour, and salty. It's the perfect, refreshing indulgence for a hot day or a celebratory evening. They are open nights are Mon, Tuesday and Thursday nights 8pm till closing“

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

“Loved this place! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I came with my dog, and they gave us a really nice spot to sit — such a sweet touch! 🐶
They also recommended three drinks, and honestly, all of them were amazing. The vibe was great — there was even some live music later, which made the night even better.
Perfect spot to chill and relax after work. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food great drinks awesome sound.“
