Edomia zaide BereheOctober 13, 2017Featherweight has never failed me. Intimate, fun and great for conversation. Volume is perfect. Don't bring a large party, I would say max 3-4 ppl! Only take cash!!!
Peter CucèJuly 20, 2016It feels like a real find, located down a hallway behind a door with only a feather to mark it. Quality craft cocktails from people with lots of experience - cozy vibe in a still-evolving neighborhood
This is a great Hideaway spot. Perfect for first dates or just to mellow out the night. The Bartenders are all great and skilled enough to mix you up something on the fly minus the pretentious flare.
An awesome bar. Great cocktails made by great bartenders in a great space. What else can I say? Johnny is the best!
SunainaDecember 22, 2014Tucked away in Brooklyn. Look for the feather on a big black door. Dimly lit and a perfect setting to sip on some prohibition era drinks. Their version of old fashioned was perfect.
Dan FleishakerNovember 29, 2016Super cozy speakeasy in the back of Sweet Science, great cocktail menu! Get a Gin Maid (off menu).
Ish RaiJuly 23, 2017It's a speakeasy bar hidden away in east Brooklyn. You have to try 'son a bee sting' if you're a gin fan. All cocktail looked amazing and the setting was intimate and cosy
Natalie HollierAugust 12, 2017Top speak easy! Excellent cocktails, low buzz candle lit atmosphere, 60s music eg. The Beatles- Boris JonesApril 8, 2015There is no dress code unlike a number of speakeasy’s which make it perfect for a casual drink or date night. The staff are accommodating and they know what they are doing. Read more
NicolaFebruary 12, 2015great cocktail bar. small and intimate. go for the Dirty Harry, smooth and salty gin and vermouth based drink.
JeffreyMarch 5, 2014Essential Cocktail:The Scallywag. Caribbean-inspired blend of overproof Smith & Cross rum, fruit juices, house-made almond syrup, with a dose of Scotch and bitters and served in a Collins-style glass.
Chris VodolaApril 6, 2015Somehow strikes a balance between intimate and spacious. Yet another example of Brooklyn having NY's best cocktail spots. Can't wait to come back.
- DoubleDeuceMarch 3, 2015A smaller place, which makes it perfect for the neighborhood. A great place to start or end a charming evening.
- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Prime time here is late night. Finding the entrance is part of the fun: look for the painted feather and the three-story-tall mural of a boxer. Read more
emma tangorenJanuary 18, 2015fun spot in the neighborhood. friendly and cozy. snag a booth if you can!
Eli ShowalterMarch 21, 2015Fantastically hidden away, the specialty cocktail I got (Manhattan Special) was too sweet for my taste, but their Sazerac was on point
LukeMarch 1, 2015More than holds its own as a neighborhood cocktail spot. Good way to start or end your night
Sophie ParksApril 4, 2015Great cocktails, great service, & a hip, cozy atmosphere. Almost don't want people to know about it!
Tani YeeFebruary 14, 2015cute tiny cocktail bar - if you have trouble finding it there's a feather on the door and a pail in front of the door
Alexandra PrevidiDecember 31, 2015Cozy, dimly lit, not overly crowded. Creative cocktails. Be warned that they only take cash.
Anthony MorganNovember 11, 2013Hidden gem! Speak easy underground feel with the smell of mixology! Great potential.
Emily GrubmanJuly 22, 2015Enter through the door with the feather on it! Look up and see a boxer? You're in the right place.
Cheap Best HiddenDecember 14, 2015Featherweight is everything. It's small, it's romantic, it's 2016. The future is now. Read more
Saw tooth is a solid drink. And by solid I mean boozy and flavorful!
The best kept secret in the city, but probably not for long. Brooklyn's only rival to Death & Co.
Untapped CitiesNovember 11, 2015You get to Featherweight by going through the restaurant Sweet Science next door. It is one little room with a bar, three roomy mint-green booths, and some additional seating along the back wall. Read more
- Nate FolkertNovember 10, 2014bartender's choice for me tonight was basically a Presbyterian with sherry
Let the bartender suggest something. You will not be disappointed.

"Gorgeous, minimalist, mid-century-ish interior with low lighting. Great outdoor space, good music (sometimes there's a DJ but never too loud). Beer is on point!"
