The no nonsense bartender was so on point! I love this place. And the live music was so good!!
I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the service was a big letdown. I went with a friend, and when he ordered a beer, the bartender forgot. After I reminded her, she responded rudely and then completely ignored me. That was the main reason we decided to leave. It's a shame, because her coworkers were decent.

We stopped in this beautiful bar during our recent trip to Brooklyn. Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Nati, our bartender, was so friendly and welcoming. His skills with cocktail crafting was TOP NOTCH. He was kind enough to give us details on the area and must see attractions. We had the best day! Thanks again Nati for the excellent recommendations and delicious cocktails!! Hope to see you again!
Classic bar and best hangout spot in Greenpoint. Super chill, great crowd, live music on certain nights and YES, BYOF (bring your own food)
Counter service only with own seating options indoor or outdoor.

What an amazingly best place to checkout if you’re in the area. We were having dinner nearby and wanted to have a beer and found this place. It’s got the right amount of dark and moody to make for a great spot to have a beer and chat with friends.
We came at 7pm on a Sunday so we weren’t expecting it to be too busy and it wasn’t but the outer area was pretty packed, maybe 4 out of 12 tables open. My group was 4 people took up 2 tables and they had no issue with us moving the tables.
The drinks are well priced for what I would think of New York (I’m out of state) 15$ cocktails wines. 10$ beers. The bartenders are fun and are responsive when you want them to be but not if you don’t. The playlist too cannot be complained about.
The whiskey sours are so good!! Please try once!!
Overall would recommend to come anytime if the vibes on a Sunday and Father’s Day are so good.
