    Cocktail bar that’s unpretentious enough that you could walk in on for a casual drink and the big charcuterie plate, but vibey enough to continue a date night. Drinks made to your taste + Back Patio

    The mood-lit cocktail bar’s drink and late night food menu are brimming with local ingredients, from housemade spicy pickles to cocktail herbs picked from the back-of-house vertical garden.

    Great little bar, with a small but delicious cocktail selection. Fresh ideas which work great and a very tasty food selection. Relaxed place, highly recommended

    One of my favorite cocktail bars, with definitely the highest quality cocktails you'll find around the area. Ryan, one of the bartenders, is a very good mixologist.

    Amazing cocktails, you can't really go wrong with any of them as they are all delicious. Very good food too, especially rabbit pie and the smoked salmon plate. Good atmosphere, intimate setting

    The Kickstarter features rum, coffee bitters, and a double shot of espresso. Probably shouldn't have ordered it right before bed.

    Been here once for brunch once for dinner. Cocktails and food were great. Rabbit pot pie was fabulous. Biscuits and yogurt for brunch was amazing.

    Brooklyn’s best cocktail bar - and don’t sleep on the meat and cheese platters. I’m a mai tai guy and love their Negronis too.

    Superior cocktails, friendly service, tasty food, unpretentious but still special feeling and warm. Duck club and clarified milk punch are a must!

    The cocktails are really good here. Staff is friendly and the place it's beautiful. It gets full on a Friday so the service was a bit slow.

    Sit at the wood-topped bar to watch co-owner Regina Christiansen mix drinks like the classic Blood & Sand, or abscond to one of the smaller tables along the wall for a quiet conversation. Read more

    The warm atmosphere is midcentury modern meets old Western hotel, and in summer you can sip your tiki-style drink on the back patio. Read more

    High brow cocktails like the Swedish Monk & Old Faithful are house recipes, the beer is craft & the food is a combo of small plates, cheeses, & meats -- including a French salami best served hidden. Read more

    Best cocktails in the Slope with a nice little backyard garden if you can snag a table.

    The classic Old Fashioned is never a bad call here. If you want to try something else with bourbon, the syrupy Kentucky Waltz is incredible

    Excellent cocktails and charcuterie and cheese selection. Come if you'd like a cozy night with a friend or potential someone special.

    Three of our favorite cocktails on the menu: Haymaker's Punch, High and Dry and The Kickstarter (an intriguing mix of Strongtree espresso, rum, turbinado sugar, and a lemon twist) .

    Great place for early weekend cocktails. The Kickstarter is a perfect brunch beverage with an expresso punch. Alternatively, the Corpse Reviver treated me well.

    Excellent dark and stormys, but the ambience and service was lacking. I'd go back for happy hour, great price for a top notch cocktail

    The meats are so perfectly sliced! Get a 3 selection meat plate with the Mangalitsa ham. Can't go wrong! And the Genoa Fizz and Kentucky Waltz are delicious cocktails

    If the weather's nice, they have a cute patio in the back. Great cocktails but the food is a bit overpriced.

    Somewhere between clover club and milk & honey, a great cocktail spot finally makes it to the slope. Small plates supplement the awesome cocktails.

    For extra spicy salt around the rim of your Smoky Mary's say: "A deep-sea Smokey Mary's, please... you know, Jacques Cousteaued."

    If you need something with a kick, try the Smoky Mary's. The chipotle infused tequila hits the spot.
