Cute and cozy ambiance. I would recommend sticking with whatever beer is on tap or well drinks. I believe that the espresso martini was pre mixed and for the price it was not worth it.
A lovely tavern with jovial staff and delightful libations. The handsome and sweet bartender with interesting hair masterfully guided my wife and I through the extensive drink menu and delivered me to a few tasty cocktails. Cool and quirky atmosphere. I love this bar.
Great service, great cocktails and atmosphere! My bartender was friendly, approachable and made great drinks!
This place rips! Period, the end. The sidewalk seating is the best. The bartenders are the right amount of stank and kind. If you don’t get the vibe, you really don’t get it. Best standard bar in Bushwick 100%.
Bar with very cozy atmosphere. Live dj on the Sunday afternoon that we went. Music wasn't too loud so we can hear ourselves speak. Good amount of table seating. Hot Chiocollato and Margherita were delicious.
