    Chuzo Salad
    Avril L.

    My family and I came on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and were seated with no wait (the host let us know there was a 9pm reservation on our table, giving us 2 hours to dine.) For 3 people we ordered: the calamari, a lobster roll, a potato side dish, a small vegan paella and a chuzo salad. The food was good but not great - the calamari was nothing special, the lobster roll was a little over salted with the fries not fried enough, the potato dish had texture and the toppings on it had spice + acid, the salad was simple but refreshing, and the finally the vegan paella was well seasoned, strong tomato flavor in the rice and the vegetables were nicely charred. The ambiance of the restaurant felt summery, it was a little humid with a slight wind that evening and they had all doors open allowing the breeze to flow through their space beautifully. The biggest let down was their service. For a weeknight at prime dinner hour and not a very crowded night, it took an hour for our food to come out from the kitchen. I noticed another party, who arrived after us, was served their food prior to us. I wished our waiter updated us on the food without my having to ask first.

    Bar Chuzo is doing something really special with Latin cuisine and this meal was proof of that. Creative, bold and intentional, every dish delivered! The Tuna Aguachile was a standout! The sushi grade tuna and avocado layered together in a bright, herbaceous broth that had just the right amount of heat and freshness. The Scallop Crudo was equally impressive, silky smooth scallops with a citrusy, slightly sweet backdrop that let the quality of the fish shine. The Crab Cake was well seasoned and had this beautiful depth of flavor from the Ecuadorian manglar crab, not your average crab cake at all. And the Chicken Chuzo Platter genuinely surprised me. I normally avoid skewer style meats because they tend to come out dry but this chicken was incredibly moist, tender and packed with flavor from the brasa marinade. Served alongside yuca croquettes and Andean corn, it was a full, satisfying plate. On the drinks side the Light Roast Espresso Martini was smooth, perfectly foamy and had this lovely depth without being overly sweet. And the Ruby Rose Cooler? As a pink grapefruit lover, this one was made for me. Bright, refreshing and dangerously easy to sip.

    Love Bar Chuzo. Sister and I love coming for their happy hour the sangria is delicious but getting the NY Strip or Chicken Chuzos is always a must!

    Bar Chuzo Margarita and Rose Sangria
    Donna Z.

    So so good! Pricing is fantastic for happy hour. We ordered the following and only spent about $100 before tip: Drinks -Mi Barrio (HH - $11) -Bay Ridge Baby (HH - $11) -Bar Chuzo Margarita (HH - $11) -Rose Sangria (HH - $11) Food -Mini Salchipapa (HH - $11) -Ecuadorian Hot Dog (HH - $5) -Pork Chuzo Platter ($18) -Ecuadorian Chorizo Platter ($16) Everything was delicious. Our favorite was the Salchipapa and the yuca croquettes from the platters which we could eat plates of. Between the pork and chorizo, I thought the pork was more flavorful but the chorizo was also very good. Out of the drinks, I enjoyed the bar Chuzo margarita the best. Since it's a clarified drink, it looks different from a regular margarita but oh so delicious. My least favorite was the sangria but I don't usually enjoy wine. When we entered there was only one other table occupied. Food and drinks were served quickly. Their menu is also great in delineating between GF= Gluten Free | DF= Dairy Free | V= Vegetarian | V+= Vegan. I would 100% come back during or not during happy hour. Highly recommend.

    The food and service were great. My favorite was the Chicken Chuzo Platter, but I can't stop thinking about the Tres Leches. It was the best I've ever had so far!

    Rarely do I give 5 star revisit this place deserves it. Nestled on a quiet corner in Bay ridge, this place gives of family favorite neighborhood vibes. We sat outdoors on the side of the bar at a cool table underneath and umbrella. It's just what I needed on a cool summer day. Everything we ordered was really great, the steak and potatoes were cooked to perfection, the salad was dress well and I don't even care for an arugula salad but guess what I like it only there. Everything was just great!!! The wings were so good I didn't even notice there was a sauce to go with it. It was devoured! My ceviche was really fresh and the plaintain chips it came with were the best compliment for it. Now our waiter was amazing, attentive was an understatement. If I saw someone's food at another table and asked what it was he was able to identify it. He made our lemonade iced tea to perfection. He was even moved to an inside table and was moved from servicing us and he still constantly came back to check on us. The experience with him made me solidified I want to come back.

    Came here on a Saturday and made a reservation. We got seated in the back of the restaurant where the music was loud. So be prepared if you are looking for a place to chit chat. Overall we ordered the chorizo and that was outstanding in flavor. Seafood Paella: A massive standout loaded with jumbo shrimp, clams, and steamed mussels. The rice absorbs a rich, deeply flavored broth carries a hint of smoky paprika aiol.

    Lobster roll
    Megan H.

    A real local gem! I kept hearing the buzz about this spot so I stopped by for dinner one night. Very quick and attentive service, cozy vibe, I had the guacamole and chips as an app and the lobster roll special. The guac was so refreshing and had tons of flavor, the lobster roll was unreal! It was so buttery and delicious with a generous serving of lobster meat, and the French fries were super crispy and delicious. I ended up returning again for another dinner and tried the wings and the chicken chuzo, also phenomenal! This place really knocks it out of the park.

    Bar Chuzo has a lot going for it. The oysters were fresh and well-presented -- a great way to kick things off. The seafood paella was packed with flavour and generously loaded, but missing the socarrat. The pork and steak skewers were both tasty, nicely charred with good seasoning, though the steak skewer edged it for me. A few minor rough edges keep it from five stars, but overall a very enjoyable.

    Chicken Chuzo Platter
    Aditya S.

    This unassuming family owned restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn serves some of the best Latin seafood dishes in the city with Ecuadorian influences. The place is small with crowded tables but the service is great and the food comes out fast. The scallop crudo is a fresh and clean bite with melt in your mouth sashimi grade scallop tossed in sweet guanabana, apple, and honey roasted cucumbers. The tuna aguachile is plated beautifully with a stack of avocado, tuna, and cucumbers that goes perfectly with the house made corn chips. The crab cake is filling and flavorful on a base of creamy pepper sauce. The chicken chuzo is grilled perfectly and drizzled in a delicious salsa verde. The drinks were decent with a standout being the Bay Ridge Baby with raspberry jam, lemon, and blanco tequila.

    Absolutely 5 stars without hesitation ! I fell in love with this place the first time we visited with my mom while she was in town last year. The atmosphere is amazing -- such an amazing vibe, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. The staff is super friendly, professional, and always makes you feel at home. Everything is incredibly delicious, fresh, and clean. My personal favorites are the obvious winners: chicken wings, paella, ceviche, guacamole, tuna aguachile, chicken chuzo, and so much more... My son asks to go there at least once a week just for his favorite chicken chuzo with French fries! It's also super kid-friendly, which makes the experience even better. If you still haven't tried this place, you're seriously missing out

    It is time for an Ecuadorian lesson.. shall we? Let's break it down: Definition: "Chuzo is a brochette or skewer of marinated, grilled meat with bold seasonings, classic sides, and the unmistakable flavor of Colombian street food." "Bar" well we all know what that means, "vamos, vamos, vamos!" Since my first visit last year, I was hungry for more deliciousness and decided to go with Yelpie friend, Sharon for brunch. Bar Chuzo has the restaurant and bar attachment which is where we dined. I happen to like the bar room for dining, it's charming and quieter for a Sunday brunch. Bar Chuzo offers really nice Brunch selections from ceviche, salchipapas, tuna, steak and apps from delicious fries, calamari, crab, plantain chips, croquettes and so much more. Here's what we ordered: Apps- Plantain chips( dinamita !) with a side of salsa verde. Yuca Croquettes with Yuca, Chihuahua cheese, and uchucuta sauce( green herb chile sauce with nuts) Dinamita number two! Two different brunch menus, Menu 1 offers apps, sides, entrees, cocktails and desserts. Menu 2: Bottomless Brunch for 90 minutes choice of Margaritas for $35 or Mimosas for $30. Mains: Crab cake Benedict consists of sunny side up egg, crab cake, potato cake, uchucuta hollandaise sauce, crostini and Chuzo salad. Sharon enjoyed it very much.Dinamita number three. Chicken Chuzo: Brasa marinated chicken skewers, Andes Ecuadorian corn, yuca croquettes. There are two skewers with three pieces of chicken on each, scrumptious, loved the taste of the chicken, the croquettes ( yuca again) nice accompaniment and the corn was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! Dinamita number four. Cocktail: Mango peach sangria hit the spot! Service: Gabriella is a great, professional and accommodating server. Absolutely wonderful and knows her stuff! Dinamita number five. There are delicious desserts as well but too full. The portions are generous and this meal for me was lunch/dinner. The vibe here is chill with Latin music seeping into your veins. 'Mis felicitaciones al personal!' ( my compliments to the staff). Bottomless Brunch: Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am- 3pm Lunch Monday-Fri 12-4m Dinner: Mon-Thurs 4-19pm. Friday 4-11 Bar Chuzo 9324 3rd Avenue Take R train to last stop 95th Street Bay Ridge,5 minute walk

The bar had a table in the front two corner with around 5 chairs per table and a table for maybe 2-3 people in front of the dj/karaoke setup. It happened to be karaoke night. Also, noone was sitting at the bar area at the time. There's also just one bathroom in the back of the bar. Since we just had dinner, we only ordered drinks. As always, we ordered 2 long islands. The drinks were lite at first, so it didn't feel as if there's much alcohol in them, but it hits later. Overall not a bad drink for the cost. I believe it was $12 per drink. Of course one drink isn't enough so we decided to get another drink similar to a long island but has blue curacao. We showed the server/bartender a picture of it and they said they could make it. We've never had the drink before so I can't compare it to other places. The drink was pretty good, but we still prefer the long islands more. Not that the drink didn't have enough alcohol though. Moving onto the vibes of the bar... it's very different from city vibes. It may be that my friend and I were the youngest ones there and everyone else were much older. Kudos to the singers though, they had such good lungs to assist with their singing. They were very much in tune and on beat. Would I come here again? Yes. But maybe not on karaoke night, since it was really difficult to hear my friend speak and have a conversation without asking him to repeat himself.

Most of the bars around here are either Mexican spots with a bar or loud sports bars, so this place felt like a nice change. They've got little sofas along the wall, and the whole vibe feels more like a living room than a bar. Happy hour was solid, and the locals/regulars I met swore this place has the best burger in the hood. A couple even said they come here for food when they're too lazy to cook. Everyone was super friendly and easy to chat with, which gave it that cozy neighborhood bar feel. Megan, the bartender, definitely wasn't shy with the pours. The Brooklyn Cosmo was huge as well if you like feeling like you got your bang for your buck. For sure a spot I'd come back to.

The best way to describe this place is like a giant warehouse with two large openings equivalent to probably to the size of a regular house wall. I was here end of December. Bring a jacket, gloves, the whole nine yards...it is cold. There is one very small space where the Djs play. I think the mirage is better in terms of space for the audience, a lot of more screens for visual effects, the dj space is better too. Mirage has two floors. Mirage also has better food. I think hands down, mirage is better. Come to the Brooklyn hangar only if you want to see a dj that isn't playing at the mirage.. I forgot to mention - I had standing VIP - that just means you have a space in front of everyone else that is closest to the dj. I think it wasn't worth it. If you do get VIP , get the VIP seating...not standing. With VIP seating you can actually sit with the DJs, which I thought was cool.

The DJs are always the best in NYC: Guetta, Tiesto, Deadmau5, Prydz, Disclosure, Aoki... yeah, Marquee is the only place that comes close and that place stinks. The setup here is great, the warehouse is massive and you don't feel crowded with 4-5k other people there. The sound system is crazy and the lighting is mesmerizing.
