When I'm on the prowl for a hot greasy hunk of meat, this is on my shortlist. One of the best values in Brooklyn for a really good burger. Get the fries, salad won't win you friends.

Bartender took the time to explain their menu, being very transparent w/what items are fresh/made in house & which items are frozen. Over-all super friendly vibe & definitely will be coming back!

Good for catching up with friends, dates, getting cheap (+ strong!) drinks, and eating delicious guacamole while watching a game

The lamb burger is delicious - with feta cheese and olives, it is a Greco-American delight. They have outdoor seating in the "backyard" that's looks great for those nice NY days.

Cozy, cute, good beer, and a nice, simple bar food menu. A little gem on Atlantic Ave across the street from the cute plant store.

Portabello sandwich is pretty yummy w/ a good sized portion of fries (though would be considered by many to be small). Sadly they're no longer serving onion rings as they've streamlined down the menu.

$7 Sauvignon Blanc at happy hour. Best bar in the area! Awesome backyard in warm weather.

Food is fantastic. Wings are stellar, fries ridiculous, and the quesadilla is a must. Bartenders are friendly and vibe is fun.

Great local place. No minimums on credit cards, good beer selection, and good alcohol prices. Food is really good as well. Nice vibe.

One of the best burgers in the area. Burger+beer combo for $10. Chicken tenders great too

Good beer on tap makes for a nice place for a weekend afternoon stop when running errands.

Nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. The handcut fries with special sauce on side are tasty! I couldn't resist a second order

Interesting place. Eclectic music. Last call earlier than other bars in NYC. Did not have much liquor, out of fireball. Both of these are unacceptable. But, tables in back were nice.

A good atmosphere for meeting up with friends.

For small groups who can't decide: good selection of beer, whisky, cocktails, and bar snacks.

Gave our meal to someone else, then tried 2 give us theirs when it came out (their was salmon instead of our pork belly). Ended up taking off our bill, but was annoying nonetheless. We will try again

Super friendly bartenders! 2 for 1 drink specials with a Barclays concert ticket are nice, too :)

$9 cocktails!!!!The Mac & Cheese is a bit dry and lacking in cheese, but the Grilled Cheese Slider is delicious.
