Naomi T.January 7, 2015I often complain that too many trendy bars serve undersized weak "fancy" drinks that are more like a shot on ice. But this place makes excellent, strong and delicious drinks.
Marie RicherDecember 6, 2016All the cocktails are really nice and the frozen drinks are especially good like the Painkiller. Also you can get Chicago dogs that are 👌🏻
Noah NormanAugust 24, 2016This is my corner bar and simultaneously one of my favorites anywhere. The bar staff are very serious about what they serve and how without being a PITA about it. Also oysters and snack mix.Upvoted 2 days ago
A strong contender for the Best Bar to Meet a Few Friends at Before Dark. Cocktails are worth the price of admission any time, but frozen drinks in the summer make this a destination
Cole KennedyDecember 17, 2015Tasty cocktails at this fun spot to hang with a group of friends late at night (say, after a game at the Barclays Center). Challenge someone to a game of pool!
Justina EngMarch 21, 2024Every cocktail is awesome here, so just try as many to see which ones are your favorite! Personally I love the Parkside 🌲
Emily WilsonMarch 25, 2018Here in the wintertime? You want hot apple cider, spiked with bourbon. Maybe have a few and then go for a walk in Prospect Park! See, winter in NYC isn’t that bad after all.
Grab a seat by the windows on a warm evening and order a delightfully refreshing cocktail!
Classy cocktail bar. A bit over-crowded for after midnight on a friday night. Kind of too cool for school. Get the 'Good Manners' cocktail with prosecco, bourbon, mint, cucumber & cane syrup.
Great neighborhood spot, friendly bartenders and late night bites.
- The Mr. Howell is one of the most unique and flavorful cocktails I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and spend $2 more to have it made with a finely aged rum -- a transcendent upgrade.
ShernAugust 17, 2013Had the Bermuda Triangle during HH for $8. Enjoyed it. Sweet and made with love. Only dislike was the drink had lots of ice. Definitely returning if I'm in the area.
Alex RobertsonOctober 29, 2017nice cocktail bar. RIYL: loverboy, diamond reef? Drink a cup of beer with a raw egg in it for 3 dollars (Sat-Sun)
- Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Stop by for Happy Hour and try one of the frozen cocktails in the summer time. They have amazing $1 oyster specials.
Yera HaSeptember 6, 2014Justin is the coolest, most down to earth bartender I've ever met. He's also insanely talented-- go here if you're into tasty, strong, unique cocktails.
Larissa AlvarezOctober 12, 2018Small and inviting. Cocktails are amazing. 1940s vibe is a nice twist. Good old school hip hop playlist.
Caitlin ClementsMay 7, 2017During happy hour, draft beers are $2 off, and all cocktails, bottled beer, and wine are $1 off. Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The painkiller in the summer rules. Also the nachos are great.
Great bar staff. Excellent cocktails. The grilled cheese is ridiculously good. Please don't go here and please don't tell your friends.
Datrianna MeeksJune 4, 2017Great frozen cocktails! Gets crowded after 5, so it might be hard to find a seat.
Get the grilled cheese sandwich with their house made beer cheese and delicious pickles. Or get the cheese and pickles on their own.
Will FlemingJanuary 19, 2015The Root Cellar on the winter menu is delicious: like a boozy, warm root beer (way better than it sounds).
GayngoodDecember 27, 2017great cocktails! Get the ginger prince if you can handle it and make sure to eat the ginger candy garnish
MartinMarch 22, 2015The rainier wolfcastle is delicious. Not too sweet but not dry at all. If you like gin, get it!- Unconventional cocktail list and fun atmosphere, with grown ups acting slightly less grown up.
So many wonderful tiki drinks to try. And not too crowded on a Friday night!
Melissa LonsdaleOctober 22, 2015Great cocktails! Bar food here is just so-so. Cash only, but they have an ATM inside.- Julie SosciaJuly 17, 2018Stop by for Happy Hour and try one of the frozen cocktails in the summer time.
The Kinky Krown is an amazing summer cocktail. Get it. Trivia: the Kinky Krown is named after the hair salon that use to live in this space.
One of my favorite bar in the neighborhood. I just love everything here.
HectorSeptember 28, 2015Dollar oysters while you play some pool. Great crowd. Watch sports games here
- Try the Town Destroyer - Applejack, Pear Preserves, Granny Smiths, Apple Cider Vinegar, w/ a touch Honey & a sprinkle of Nutmeg. A perfect Fall cocktail.
- They serve great oysters every weekend. Get some east coast and west coast bivalves.
LocationStarAugust 23, 2011our new favorite, get some ritz crackers and cheese and wash it down with a Mr Howell and pretend your in a madmen-era Palm Springs Read more
Scott LustigJuly 6, 2015I'm told the cocktails are great but I stuck to the delicious draught selection.
The frozen dark and stormy is very flavorful and refreshing, not overly sweet.
Kimberly SusanAugust 11, 2014Classy decor with a pool table, laid back, outdoor seating on the sidewalk. Cash only :(
Gabe DoroszJuly 31, 2011Great new spot in the hood with a great low-key vibe. Give these nice kids some of your valuable business.
