Pretty elusive and mysterious vintage bar located across from Carroll Park. It's dim-lit with…read morecandles and simple decor, which makes for a perfect date night spot. The service was also great as the bartender was quick and got us our next drinks as soon as he saw we finished our first one. During our visit, we tried the Matt's Ginger Old Fashioned, Brooklyn, Vulcano, and Palermo Fix. All cocktails were $14 each, which were all nicely made. The Brooklyn was very strong and the Old Fashioned is a nice classic with a hint of ginger flavor. The other two were lighter with twists of sour. They also offer some paninis, plus a toasted lard bread ($5) that we ordered. The lard bread is from Mazzola, which is absolutely delicious, but kind of sad that they only offer 4 pieces. Cool bar in the neighborhood with tasty drinks. It's such a simple, yet sophisticated bar. There's also a pool table in the back to enjoy.

The bartender Victor was also amazing!! Very kind and friendly and super cool. That's the type of…read morebartender you want!

Most bars and restaurants close pretty early in this neighborhood, but Boat Bar is the only one…read morethat stays open until 2am. It's your typical dive bar as expected with a ping pong table in the back and arcade machine games in the front. As you can tell from the name, there's a sea theme going on here. We came here to grab some drinks for the night. Mixed drinks were $12 while beers were $8, pretty normal pricing. Everyone here seems to be regulars or locals. Good spot for drinks when nothing else is open.

I love this little bar. Great options on tap and a great custom menu. Not a great assortment of…read morecider - but otherwise they have a great menu. They have 3 pinball machines in the back! GBH has an ATM but they do not have a change machine. If you're looking to play pinball definitely bring some singles as the machines do not have Apple Pay/tap to pay/accept credit cards. They do NOT serve food (sometimes they sell chips) but they welcome outside food. Not a sports bar but they have TV's with the sports game of the eve! They take card & cash. Street parking.

We stopped by this bar on the way home for a quick drink. It was busy, but we found some stools in…read morethe back room where the pinball machines are. We got some mixed drinks, but surprisingly they didn't have Jack Daniel's. It's a typical bar with limited options, which we weren't so impressed with. Also, no food except some snacks but that does mean dogs are allowed. Probably the only thing that'd bring me back here, so I can have my pup join me out.

Low-key local bar that's quite intimate. When we came, there were a few groups around with some…read moreregulars as they were quite close to the bartender. We had some mixed drinks ($11 each), which was pretty standard. This is your typical bar, but they do stay open until 4am.

This is a little gem of a bar! My best friend and I were visiting New York for a week and decided…read moreto pop in while we were in the area. It's a great little space! It certainly is "mini", but was so comfortable and welcoming. There is a small 4ish person bar, and just a few small tables. There were a few people at the tables, and one person at the bar when we stopped in, as we took seats at the bar. The bar tender was very gracious and kind. They other patrons seemed to be regulars, and they were all friendly (big plus were the regulars dogs!!!! I can totally get behind a dog friendly establishment!) We had a great couple of drinks here! Thanks!

Bruh. Just saw you opened for season and you clearly didn't read my older review! So I repeat:…read more you literally are in very close proximity to four or five of the best breweries in the state and you go with Montauk Wave Chaser IPA? Other Half, Three's, Finback, Wild East, Strong Rope, Talea all within a mile - c'mon now, please do better! That said, had been coming here for years, it is so Brooklyn and such a great vibe, smack dab in middle of Carroll Gardens. Simple and perfectly good food to enjoy. If you're not a beer snob or looking for a "scene" then this is the place for ya!

Tiny little dive bar located on Smith Street a few blocks from its namesake canal. The name is…read moreclever, and the drinks are cheap. Keep an eye out for specials, such as a recent day when they had $2 Red Stripes. This is a good happy hour/starting the night type of spot. Cash only.

The bartenders are always sweet new or old and its always just fun tiki vibes. Friday Saturday, I know for sure they check ID via security, any other day the bartender can card you if you look underage or janky. No food served here but you are allowed to bring in your own food. Next door is Wing Bar (great wings if i do say so myself) The drinks are resonably priced $8-$14. Summertime check out the bakcyard and cool down with a signature frozen zombie, you wont be disappointed.

Not bad! Was visiting some friends in the city and we decided to pop into this bar. I really liked…read morethe decor and lighting inside. I got the Mai tai and it was tasty! I really liked that this bar had affordable cocktails but they are on the sweeter side of course! If you're going to this bar before the hotter months and you're wearing a short sleeve shirt, watch out for the pipes because I got burned a few times!

Delicious buttered rum and a great place to hear even more vibrant live music in between shows at…read morethe theatre. Fun off-beat saloon decor, great community vibe in general, performers, patrons, employees, etc., but one of the bartenders was kind of unnecessarily exclusive and rude to us when we were trying to find a place to sit. That just doesn't fit in with the energy of the music itself, so maybe adding just a few more chairs (seating is veeery limited) or even just a welcoming attitude would have made us feel a bit better as we enjoyed the wonderful live performances. Otherwise, awesome experience!

While the design of the space is visually interesting, we couldn't get physically comfortable. Both the space and the chairs just didn't allow you to settle in and chill.

So friendly and warm and attentive. I got an espolon shot for like $7 bucks and their cocktail prices are pretty affordable considering how insane drink prices are nowadays. Cause baby! With tax and tip these drinks be coming out to like $23/$24 dollas now. Say it with me... Outside is Expensive. Luckily, this place has a great price point and they have free popcorn but they also allow outside food. A lovely couple I met that day shared their wings and dipping sauce with me. Super sweet. They have a backyard area, plenty of space on the inside and 2 bathrooms. I'd definitely go back! Everyone was also just super chill and nice. I was having random conversations with people and it felt effortless and nice in a world where not all people are nice.
