After spent a day in Friday, i was ready to hit the town! Black-owned establishment and was met with an amazing staff Adrien/Adrian (i hope I'm spelling it correctly lol first one when they opened and was informed later there would be a DJ. Adrien/Adrian made me an old fashion w/ my fav Japanese whiskey it was delicious. I made new friends and everyone was so nice. When the DJ came, The music was amazing and it was a very nice atmosphere to be around. This has truly become my fav local lounge. Consider me a patreon!! read more

The jerk chicken was fire! The drinks were well made and tasty. The music was on point. There's definitely a nice vibe here. My only complaint is table service is slow. Took them an hour to notice tables that needed cleaning. read more

Good local spot. Bartenders know how to make drinks. They have a cigar spot in the back. They keep a DJ in rotation on the weekend Sometimes they can be a hit or a miss. Not sure they have a resident DJ. Love that they also participate in neighborhood activities and events read more

Cute spot but felt like it was lacking something. Something magical. Something to help it really stand out. We came here to finish up our Saturday night (got here around 1am on Sunday morning) and it was good energy from the people who were dancing and enjoying life. The same good vibes was not on display by the workers. They all seemed very over it all. Which kinda sucks because it was my first time there and my homies 3rd time and it didn't rub us the right way. Didn't order food and the drinks were solid. Around 20 bucks for a drink. The bar is tucked in the back right corner. After getting our drinks and going through a narrow aisle and bumping into everyone we got to the dance floor which is as soon as you enter and we did our lil 2step but it seemed like most people were just vibing out. I wouldn't end my night here. Maybe start it. Wasn't lit like the reviews makes it out to be. read more

This was a cute spot. Came here for a drink to celebrate graduating. The drinks were a bit pricey for me, but they weren't bad. The bartender was nice. He made me something off the menu because i wanted something a bit different. I got there around 10ish and it was pretty empty for a Saturday night. It stayed pretty empty most of the night. There was a dj who was playing some good things. We were able to bring in food from outside to sit and eat. They also have an outdoor space as well. It was a bit warm without the ac on. But once they turned it on it was okay. I stayed maybe 2 hours then went over to another bar for a different vibe. All in all, not bad. They have a couple tables and chairs, a few high chairs, a couch and that's about it. read more

I was looking for a new place to go and celebrate my birthday at a place that I had never been. I did some Yelp searching and came upon this place. The place looked great and the reviews were great. I sent a message on IG and received a prompt response, which I throughly appreciated and felt like I made the right choice. I arrived really early, in attempt, to gather some seats for whenever everyone got there. I had a Moscow Mule, and did some work on my laptop. They had a nice bask splash and chandeliers and had a cool vibe. For the first two hours, it was mostly older school reggae. However, around 8PM that changed. Also, they had a DJ come in and it turned into R&B and Hip Hop. The service was okay, a little on the slow side, but he was back there by himself. Everyone in my group had a wonderful time and I got to finally end my birthday with a bang. Thanks to the staff for the prompt response, the bartender, who seemed cool and the security guards who took several pictures for my group and kept the area clean. read more

Went here for New Years Eve and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It's considered a neighborhood bar, but I could tell it's a little city gem in Crown Heights. The drinks, baaaaaaby. S/O to the bartender Trè who made me a rum punch so good I only needed 2 to 'get right'. Not I'm sure they have food, but on New Year's Eve, I wasn't looking for food. They have amazing DJs who will keep you dancing all night. They even passed out complimentary glasses of champagne to everyone, even if you had a drink. Needless to say I will definitely be back. read more

Wow This is a black owned establishment? Drink is far from Friendly!!! Don't step on anyone foot you will get banned from this black owned establishment if the staff is drinking too!! I watch a staff member drink 3+ glasses of wine then she became a false victim of nothing. Monday on the way to the bathroom I accidently stepped on someone's foot and Immediately asked if both women was ok one of the ladies beside her a guest who she was giving Free pours to dancing said eveything was good then the staff gave her a look then she switched & accused me of being aggressive by me asking "Queen are you alright" told me the silent lady (green dress) is staff there she then proceeded to have me removed and the other female beside her w grey sweatpants came outside taunting provoking me when I did nothing. High school bafoonery. This is how the staff treats the female patrons after the "staff" drinks a few glasses of wine. Asking the owner to check the footage to investigate my claims. If she is the owner then Brooklyn Please Do Not Go To Drink! It was not a hospitable environment if you step on someone (staff) foot!!! Also meeting with the community board and sharing my complaint with the district. I can understand if I was in the wrong, the action was not warranted. I do not want other women to be treated as such especially a place supported as a black owned business!! Read previous reviews the same happened to other women!!! Shame read more

Been going here since day one. Always personable, friendly, and like a family. Inside the decor is retro with flavor with excellent art work, backyard: let loose. One of my favorites BK spots. Newly added morning cafe. read more

I Met up with a friend after a show at the BlueNote. They suggested Drink. First impression is it's small but I hear a DJ rocking and I see the crowd jamming, so I'm like ok "BET. " As I waited for my friend to arrive, I was greeted by a gentleman out front. His name was Fred. Fred was extremely helpful and charming. He made me feel at east while I waited. Friendly and informative. My guest arrives and we go inside. A nice cozy, speakeasy. Very intimate environment. Due to the weather, we opted to sit out back. Nice area to hold a conversation. I ordered a very tasty drink, can't remember the name but it had Thyme in it, I think. A very pleasant vibe and I will definitely be back. It set a great tone for the reminder of the evening. read more

Cool vibe for a mature crowd, drinks were tasty and the dj played well. I would definitely visit again!!!

I have been looking for a local bar I can go to frequently for YEARS. I finally found it, DRINKS. The ambiance, the people and the drinks area amazing. This is my personal version of a work space. Forget WeWork, welcome to WeDrink. I get there around opening and get my last minute emails, invoices and work done. This was written in 2019 and my feelings are still the same. Drink is an amazing establishment. read more

Cheers to Drink lounge. Also, I love that it's black owned in this ever changing neighborhood. Let's talk decor. I have been fascinated with the wallpaper since they opened (around 2012,2013). Touch it...it's velvet with a subtle pink. Chandeliers are nice which compliments the black cieling. It's no secret, I love the decor. This is date night approved. This is afterwork hangout approved. When it's nice out , you can take advantage of the backyard. Wonderful Tequila and Whiskey options! The Bartender use to be from Franklin Park, but we grown now and FP is for the youngins. She's amazing, attentive and chill. This place is Chill. Don't you want to chill out? Catch a vibe? Actually hear your date? This is the place to be. read more

Found this bar the way all bars are found... had a friend come in from out of town, and we were looking for a place to continue our reunion. I'm so happy This was the place we found. The ambiance of this place is similar to that of a R &b, jazzy speakeasy. When we went they had a dj who was absolutely killing it. Also, I had a lovely conversation with the bartender/owner, who made me feel like we had known each other for years. He made me a mean Negroni (truly out of this world), and I couldn't help but try my friends cosmo which was equally amazing. It was a great night, we literally were the last ones there because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Also there is a smoking lounge in the back which is nice of you are interested in that. Can't wait to come back!! read more

I love this place. This is going to be my spot . I have been here about 6 times. Twice in the past week. Shout to JB the bartender. He brings such good vibes and attentiveness. The drinks are good, prices are reasonable. Fridays they have a DJ. They got a small backyard. I love the low dim light and decor perfect for dates, girls night out or even your boys. The frills here no dress code. Come here to be happy and have a good time! read more

Cute/intimate bar! Came in on a random night for food and drinks. Nice little crowd, karaoke and laughs. Be advised, when I went they were not yet serving food. This was during the summer so this might've changed. But the reviews led me to think differently, but eat before or after like we did. read more

This spot is really good. Great outside seating area as well as drinks are pretty good. No cover charge but you do have to show ID on Saturday nights. I really like the selection of music that the dj played too. read more

From the entrance you know something is up...yes this is a well hidden gem! There's beautiful, romantic lighting and a beautiful seating area in the front and rear of Drink. I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted with a smile and drink menu. I usually use Yelp reviews as a guide to getting what I desire, but this time I had a whiskey sour and sweet Moses it was delicious! Made with love I later ordered a chicken parmesan and I think I started a trend because shortly after 4 ppl ordered the same thing. The bread was soft and the meat juicy..mmmmmmmmm! Enjoy Yelpers I did! read more

This is my go to spot when I'm back in Brooklyn...grown folks vibes, good drinks, good music

I've come here with girlfriends a few times now and have to say... I love my people and often find similarly vibrational folks here. I am not much of a cocktail drinker but have friends and family who are and they enjoy the drinks, and I enjoy my wine. The ambiance reminds me of pre-gentrified BK and I miss that scene deeply so I am thankful for this spot. Annnnd, it's in my neighborhood so I'll be back. read more

Drink is always a vibe! An eclectic mix of folks. Sexy environment with fun DJ's. There's outdoor space year-round. There are heaters, a big screen and a nice amount of seating to hang comfortably. Tre and JB are the bartenders I am familiar with and they never disappoint. It can get a bit crowded but who cares? The crowd is sexy and nice! read more

I visited Drink last night as I found of the spot on Yelp. Off rip, I'm glad that the establishment is Black owned. Upon further reading on other sites, I also found out that one of the owners went to C.W. Post which is my Alma Mater as well. I was looking for a spot to kick it at for my birthday and Drink seemed to have the vibe and ambiance that I was looking for. The Tresse is a bad ass drink. I really enjoyed it. The only knock I have is that there wasn't any food served. I visited the bar a week prior and although i didn't eat, there was a chef making rasta pasta. So i guess i just wasnt clear as to when there is and isn't food. The music was dope. Later into the evening there's a DJ and you'll get more upbeat tunes at that point. It was also an uncharacteristically warm night for December. I made use of the back yard area as well. The establishment is clean, the staff is attentive and I was just glad to support a fellow Post alumn. I will definitely be back. Check out my photos and see other Post alumn who were in attendance. Thanks for a great night. read more

It's all about the sultry, Victorian vibe. Dark wood floors accented by deep purple patterned wallpaper and crystal chandeliers. It's a small space, but there's plenty of seating, including an L-shaped bar, high top tables, and chesterfield sofas. Old fashioneds seemed most appropriate for the space. Unfortunately, they were cloyingly sweet. I tried to get through it, but eventually asked the bartender if he could make me another without the simple syrup. He was surprised. No one had ever said they were too sweet before, which I found shocking. He ended up just adding another shot of bourbon to my drink, which made it at least tolerable. But, typically I don't go to bars and pay for drinks that are "at least tolerable". read more

Drink is a cool and elegant bar serving up some excellent cocktails. The decor is quite ornate, making you feel like you're up for a special night out. Staff is friendly, bartender was excellent and the DJ was spinning some quality tunes. Not tiny, but not an ample amount of space, either (hear they have a nice backyard, but have only been here in the winter). It can get a bit too crowded/loud for my taste, which feels a bit of a contrast with the classy/high end cocktail look/vibe, but hey... I'm getting old, and why shouldn't strong, well-made cocktails make you want to turn it out. Just know the vibe can run the gamut from casual/chill to raucous. Sometimes quickly. Wine/beer list was average--not bad, but I'd stick to the drinks here. For my money, perfect for when you can catch it off hours and can enjoy tasty cocktails and soak up some atmosphere. But it can also be your place to bump and grind later/on weekends if that's your preference. read more

It was an ok experience, but I've been to better spots in Brooklyn. Upon looking at pics I thought it would be a great place for drinks. The decor is very speakeasy like, but the drinks were subpar and the bartenders were extremely slow. The place is really small and wasn't able to handle a busy Saturday night in Brooklyn. A large crowd came in and upon realizing this left before getting a drink. I attended a birthday celebration here and our party enjoyed but it wasn't my night. I would suggest they get more seating and have the drinks consistent read more

Drink - Pink panther! It wasn't in the glass it was advertised in and definitely doesn't look pink.... - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Gorgeous decor with deep purple walls and chandeliers. Hard to believe this used to be the dusty 95 south. Their back patio is so nice and laid back you want to throw birthday party there. Our two lady bartenders were awesome! Shena made us their signature "Drink", a purpleish drink made from gin and other unknown ingredients. It was strong and tasted a little like licorice. She also made us the bomb Basil Watermelon Smash. She substituted vodka for Bourbon upon request. Love how they are so flexible. Yee, our other lady bartender, found me a rare lambrusco that was to DIE FOR (mind you I usually do white or rosés). She also had us sample the Confidence, another great Bourbon drink. I'm seriously about to be here at least once a week. New favorite neighborhood bar. read more

Drink - Great Lambrusco !!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Overall, I believe anyone can have a good time here. My boyfriend and I was looking for a new place to check out last Saturday and after reading the reviews here we decided to give DRINK a try. Good atmosphere ! Good drinks ! Good music ! I would suggest taking the train or a cab because street parking can be hard to find. ...I did not give 5 stars only because the music was Very Loud. The bar is not that big and has more of a lounge feel, yet the music could be heard down the block. read more

Drink - Pricey but worth it ! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I saw the name of this place and couldn't not check it out. A bar called Drink? Well, if they say so... I happened to catch the end of happy hour when I was here. There were amazing happy hour deals! Sadly I didn't take advantage of them and instead ordered the regular cocktails, but that's all the more reason to come back. I started with the Unknown Soldier drink with extra ginger beer. It tasted great, especially the ginger beer!! It is some of the best ginger beer I've ever had and I particularly urge you all to try cocktails that include it. I also asked the bartender for a custom wintery rum based cocktail, which came out great. The inside of the bar itself is dark and cozy, but the star to me is the garden area. Who doesn't love a good bar with a garden area?! It's nice to get some fresh air, drink, and people watch around you. read more

Was definitely in need of a drank at Drink after the week I had. This spot definitely sealed the deal. I came here during happy hour on Friday... Calm ambiance and intimate ambience to die for. Definitely a calmer alternative to bars on Franklin Ave. The only area of growth here is they primarily serve cocktails and small bites. So if you're starving, I recommend eating elsewhere first. read more
