I'd rate this establishment a solid 2.5/5. It has a wealth of potential and looks like a vibe. The overall experience left room for improvement. Food- 3/5 The food was EXTREMELY SLOW. It took over 45 min to get appetizers and the food closely followed. Deviled eggs- highly anticipated... didn't deliver much. The eggs were vinegary and dry. Wings- were the best part of the meal. Well done. Not much in terms of flavor though Salmon Cakes- mushy Sliders - Okay Drinks: -Stolen Moments, would not recommend. Watery -Cantaloupe Island tasty and fruity tastes stronger than the more expensive drink Ambiance- older crowd 55+. Appeared as though they were getting ready for an event that evening (maybe jazz). Overall, I'd have to hear of a better experience for me to try it out again. read more

As soon as you walk in the art throughout the entire Lounge is hardcore dope. The dark red lights make the atmosphere so relaxing and smooth. Staff was all attentive and hands on with any assistance you need. I visit this lounge for an event. And I had a wonderful time. The bartenders all moved with great speed and attentiveness. Lovely night and great service. Thank you read more

Updated review 6/30/24: 333 Lounge reached out to me and invited me to come back and give them another chance after my first visit didn't work out. I'm all for second chances and supporting small businesses. Shoutout to the 333 Management team for reaching out to me and extending the invitation. My best friend and I decided to finish my birthday weekend by dining here and stopping by for Sunday karaoke brunch. We were greeted by a pleasant hostess at the door. Our server Norma was great from start to finish and our experience was made better with her bubbly and sweet personality. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Chef C who is the executive chef at 333 Lounge. He assured me that this experience would be great. The music was really good. My friend and I sang along with the music and I even did a little dancing. I enjoyed the ambiance of 333 Lounge. Now let me get into the details about the food. I ordered the Cajun wings with ranch dressing on the side as my appetizer. The wings were piping hot and absolutely delicious. My friend only ate one and I finished the rest because they were really good. I ordered island chicken and waffles and my friend ordered Cajun shrimp and grits. My friend enjoyed her food. She said the grits were the creamiest grits she's ever eaten. She stated the shrimps were really good as well. My island chicken was jerk spiced fried chicken and oh my goodness, it was crispy and scrumptious. It sat on two waffles topped with pineapple salsa with Captain Morgan maple syrup. To say that we simply enjoyed our meal would be an understatement. We truly enjoyed our dining experience at 333 Lounge. Thank you to 333 Management for the opportunity to come back, Chef C for the amazing food and Norma for amazing service and hospitality! We both agreed that we will be back again! read more

My 1st time going to 333 lounge was a nice experience. The difference was a bartender named Kamirah!!! She has the perfect attitude for bartending!! She always maintains an inviting smile than the other bartender who had an almost dismissive attitude. I noticed 1 of the busboys was in an area and she waved him away to get out of her way vs saying excuse me. A couple of other customers noticed that and we all agreed it was not a nice look for her. I think I ordered 1 drink from the rude one and with Kamirah, I waited purposefully for her to be available and got at least 10 drinks from her instead!!! Kamorah even said we should all return on Sunday for Karaoke which shows me she is looking out for the business. I hope they give Karmirah a raise!! I would definitely return with lots of friends just because of her!!! read more

I went here to watch the game. They advertised outside that they were hosting a watch party. There were only a few people which made it cozy and I got to meet new people. My issue was that after the first quarter they turned down the volume and a dj started playing music. It now became a dance party and so during half time my friend and I left as the vibe had now changed. I was there to watch and listen to the Knicks game not dance. read more

Dropped by on a wednesday evening and they had a live band performance by "the black soul experience" ......incredible night!!! Food was good, people were friendly and not too crowded! The evening ended with a little open mic, and even that was great! read more

I came here for a Game Night last night, and though I came alone, I had a really good time. Highly recommend the RUM PUNCH. It's delicious, and from the first sip I knew it would be POTENT. Also, their deviled eggs. Not many places generally offer deviled eggs on the menu, and while you only get 4, these were some of the most flavorful deviled eggs I've ever had at an establishment. I also had the shrimp and grits, which were equally tasty. They don't ask you for a card to open a tab here, but they seem to just know where you are to hand you the bill at the end haha, so I was a bit confused, but they found me, and it was accurate. There was a live DJ playing awesome old-school hip-hop/rnb jams, open karaoke, and super good vibes. Everyone was here to just have a good time. I'm happy that though I came alone, I at least got to play some spades and chat up some of the others there for the Game Night as well. I would definitely return. read more

Went there for drinks during happy hour. I got this raspberry cognac drink that was okay. Ordered fries as well which was pretty good. Service was terrible, waitress had some sort of attitude and barely came to our table to wait on us. I always say customer service makes or breaks an establishment and unfortunately if they are going to have unfriendly staff this could be their downfall. Music was a vibe read more

So, you may not be able to tell from the rating, but I like 333 lounge. I just feel like it has so much more to offer, but I always leave underwhelmed. Let's start with the food. Birria tacos should not be made with chicken and the salmon cakes didn't taste fresh (prepackaged & warmed up). I got the "IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD" cocktail since it was one of the few rum options. It just tasted like lime and was served in a curved martini-like glass. For $15, I expected something complex, balanced, or strong. None of the above! The waitress was ok, but she took a little while to check on us and get our orders & didnt have the happiest demeanor. The restaurant takes an automatic 15% tip and we didn't feel moved to give more with the level of service. Music was a good mix of r&b/hip hop but felt too loud. No one dances, football is playing on all the screens, and everyone looked bored or screaming to talk. There are seats near the sidewalk which is nice for people watching. All in all, dark & pretty look, but they need more themed nights to encourage socialization. Everything screens club, party but it falls short. Estelle was there casually eating but I don't think it's a hotspot for celebrities. read more

Brunch was a vibe. Really great service and the food was decent. The drinks were potent too. Front windows were completely open and we sat up front which was great but all you smelled was weed. Inside & outside.... I mean i can understand it's legal and all but not while I'm trying to enjoy a Brunch with my honey. Also, they had vendors setting up to sell jewelry and tchotchkes. Not sure I'd try it again. The games on the tables were a cute touch though read more

Food took 1 hour and we only had tacos and plain coquito French toast ... literally just the French toast no sides! They took the longest on the coquito French Toast and when it came out it was burnt , there were pineapple bits only at the bottom. Just horrible and disappointing waste of money. Their rum punch was great. Wait time and food not worth it disappointed bc I almost missed my other reservation waiting 1 hr for French toast and 2 tacos. Mac and cheese was tasteless . read more

Came on a Sunday for Dinner & Kareoke with my homegirl. Located downtown Brooklyn it's a cute spot. It was packed around 9:30 and it starts at 7pm. I went for the the 2 for 1 rum punch all night that was advertised on the eventbrite but I was told by the waitress that management said, it was until a certain time; Also my friend asked at the bar and they didn't know anything about it. One thing I don't like is false advertising it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered the jerk chicken lasagna and it was good. Food came out fast. The rum punch was good. Karaoke was a vibe. Good crowd. Dj seems to be biased on the song request because of the regulars; i went up to request a song and i wasn't even acknowledged. Waitress was attentive. They have to get the rum punch advertising right. All in all good vibe. The hostess of the kareoke is cool. read more

We stopped by this place since we were in the area & not quite ready to end our brunching & drinking. Came in & we were seated right away in the front area, drinks we tried the Mimosas not bad. On the food we tried the Waffle.. it was good , the SF Chicken wings were very good nice size, good sauce.. I believe we had the BBQ & Cajun flavors? can't 100% recall the flavor it was a long day of drinking lol.. We also had Fries they were good as well nice & crispy. This place has a fun party vibe, good music playing service was good & prices were not bad, over all we enjoyed our time. read more

Was turned off immediately!!! 2 Jameson on the rocks costed over $40 plus 18% grat added without notice!! Establishment MUST warn guest on menu or posted on wall!!! Thank God my husband and I caught it! Felt like the bartender was dishonest, moving super fast so we won't noticed and when we did she got nasty and never came back to us!!! NEVER AGAIN read more

Pro's & Con's Aesthetics were nice, service was attentive because we were there early on a Friday night, the food was good, and ok music. Not pleased with the $20 drinks. Didn't realize that's how much for frozen sugar water. Drink prices are so off putting I highly doubt I'd go again or perhaps stick to beer! 18% tip automatically included. I don't mind when 15% is automatically added but the presumptions of taking the liberty of an 18% tip is offensive and also off putting. read more

Great service b/c of that 18% gratuity automatically added to the bill. Ambiance goodt, DJ was hitting. Food was pretty sad, could be way better for what it is. When you try to support Black Businesses and they serve you like this, it is Black on Black Crime!!!! Sorry, not sorry friends. read more

Such a fun lounge for last minute Halloween fun! Not only was there outdoor seating with heat lamps, but the doors were all open for airflow. The DJ made it worthwhile as well. We had a great time for the 30-40mins we were there and the rum punch was very strong, very tasty! Everyone was tipsy off 1-2 cups. I will definitely go back here post covid in the summer. Service was great, bathroom was clean, and everyone stayed in their sections. read more

Pros: space is clean staff is attentive nice sitting areas off the bar huge dance area live dj food and drinks are on point Cons: It's always obnoxiously loud People are screaming at the top of their lungs For every 30 women they're are 2 guys 333 never quotes hit the ball out the park for me. Real cute space, always good music and this time I had some appetizers. Codfish fritters were awesome. Drinks are decent . Sounds like the making of a good night right? But then there's the crowd. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I've been on Tues, Wed and both Sat and Sun and just couldn't seem to catch the right vibes. It's either overly Caribbean in that they don't mix the music or overly young and plying all mumble rap. Balance people. I was bored. read more

Was invited to a birthday celebration, the After-hours was fun, good DJ and good drinks.

This is a dual review for their lounge at night and the Brunch on Sunday. Lounge- Too crowded and too small. It was ratchet to say the least. I havent even enjoyed the lounge. I came for a birthday once and they wouldn't let some of the male guests in for over an hour. It was freezing that day. The bar is always super packed and you can never order a drink. All in all I have chosen to not come back on a weekend night. Brunch- A friend was celebrating her birthday and made reservations at another spot that turned out to be super packed. We ventured to 333 which was empty at 12. We were the first party. It started slow. The DJ was playing love tunes and we were looking to turn up a little. The people who worked there were accomodating and wanted to make it a great time for the birthday girl. The brunch is pre fixe for 25 you get a sangria or mimosa and an entree. The sangria was on the weaker side. Food- I got the chicken and waffles. Chicken was flavorful. The waffle was too dense for my liking. I more so like my waffle fluffy. However it was ok. My friend got the shrimp and grits and let's say super cheesy. She ended up only eating the shrimp which was flavorful. Ambiance - the DJ ended up taking requests from us and was playing music we liked . Around 1pm they do karaoke which made things more lively. Around 2pm the place gets crowded with more people. I would come back for brunch eventually but I wasn't blown away. read more

I normally like this place but I have to give them a low review. The drinks were cool. I had a Cosmigos Frozen margarita. Tasted good. I got the bill and I was like wow, $40.00? I guess this is my last drink for the night. This was for two of them. Come to find out later everyone else was getting them 2 for $20. I was beyond annoyed. My bar tender, I believe her name was Melissa, like this was a drink that came from a machine. She didn't even do anything. Just pour it in a cup. And that was 2 for $40 for me and $20 for everyone else. I don't like that. I don't live in NYC anymore so Im boot a regular. Didn't appreciate the up charge. I hope they get it together. I wouldn't go back on my own off the principle but my friends always end up there so Im sure I may go there at some point. I'll just have them order the drinks for me since I see there's some type of favoritism going on. read more

Ambiance is good - We came today for an event. Had little sambuxa snacks that came in a variety of flavors. Ordered waffles and chicken. The maple syrup was made with Captain Morgan's and you can taste the rum spices. The chicken was crispy and tender. The waffles were fluffy not stuffy with dough. Great and easy to get to by bus, or train. Right on Flatbush and 7th Avenue. read more

This place can really become something great if they'd take customer service seriously. The live band was classy but the bartender with a cap on ruined the night. She was inattentive, slow to take our order after being seated for over 10 min. I'm not here to grab your attention and provide service in a professional manner, that's your job. Just because of her poor demeanor and poor attitude we left and went to the burrito bar down the block which saved our night! I give the place 1 star for the band but other than that I will not return. Customer service goes a long way! read more

Let me begin by saying the manager and 333 Lounge went above and beyond to accommodate my girlfriends for a table for a meeting of the minds. Chloe canceled due to a last min event so 333 was able to accommodate the same day. We all arrived on time and was immediately greeted by a tall, yet handsome, security guard. We got our ID's out and lined into the establishment straight to the MANDATORY $2.00 coat check. There are about 3 girls there moving as quickly as possible. Plus, they are not rude to guest. That's a plus. When we were seated, we were expecting a table with chairs, but we were seated on couches almost 4 feet away from each other. We had to compromise all of us on little stools and fit 4 people on the couch to have our quick meeting. We thought when you have a restaurant/bar the waiter would come take our orders - NOT HERE! I had to go to the bar to place 8 orders including drinks. The bartender was very nice. Once we paid and got our drinks we squeezed back together on the stage and finished our meeting. Only 4 of our orders arrived. After 1 hr of waiting I had to squeeze pass the guest coming in to find out where the rest of the food was. They were kind enough to give me a free shot while I waited for the rest of our food. They gave us a little extra, but that was due to the wait, the stage squeeze and screaming over the speakers. Before I forget about the flavor of the food. There are flavors but stick with the good one. The stickey wings are amazing, but the cod fish is over powered with PEPA. The spring roll is shrimp not chicken. They should say that before you order. I am severely allergic to seafood. The fries are basic, so I don't understand why it takes so long to get appetizers here. The drinks are iced down for the party goers, but if you get there before 10pm you can have the pleasure of drinking from a glass. You can actually enjoy their specialty drinks because they're good. SMH! We should have did the meeting in house and came here after to dance and take a drink. The place was packed within 3 hrs of us being there. This is not a place for the mature crowd, but for ages 21-28 years old. There are too many immature party goers and SOME truly begrudged staff members. Party here if you don't mind sweating, but don't try to have a meeting in here. We should've went to SWEET CHICKS right at the corner. We've definitely crossed off 333 LOUNGE off our list. read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Very nice bartender. Don't remember her name, but she was bald with a beautiful face! The place was pretty empty, which I appreciated. The drinks were strong and the wings were good. The bartender recommended the Alabama white wings...I didn't really like it. Overall I give it a 5! I'll be back read more

Visited this spot with 5 of my friends on a Saturday afternoon @ 6pm and it was completely empty. We were immediately seated, however no one EVER returned, so about 20 minutes in someone from our group attempted to get the servers attention (she was at the bar) she gave him a rude look and said "I'll be right with you " as she continued to talk with other people who worked there. My group and I walked out, Needless to say the service was trash, wish I could give 0 stars! The girl server at the bar with he curly hair just looked on as we exited. read more

Ordered shrimp fried rice with black eyed peas, delicious! Sangria was fantastic and live music was real treat

Oh no sweat box city... I walked in this place and said oh no get me the fcck out! First, I do not like the vibe of this location like the energy just feel bad. My cousin wanted to come here to celebrate her birthday and this was just not the spot. Everyone there was like old. The space is so small and it gets crowded fast, I do not understand how people dance! The bartender (idk her name) look like she don't want to work there... like don't have an attitude with me.. have an attitude with your boss.. but you can't do that because you need to get paid.. so I guess you should get it together???? Lol People was ordering food/drinks being nice and she was just rude and rolling her eyes... like lady God loves you, be nice. ANYWAYSSS, I would not come back. EVER. The wings was okay and my fries was like rocks. read more
