Hands down my favorite bar in Brooklyn. It was my friend's idea to come here and I'm glad I listened because I cannot wait to be back. I was with my pup (in his bag) and they accepted him with open arms which was the first thing I enjoyed about this place. The second I walked in I noticed how beautiful it was. Clean, intentional and bright which I enjoy because it made me feel positive. The staff was super friendly (I actually made friends here, super rare) I hope it remains this way with whoever they hire in the future. We ordered a couple drinks as well as some guac and churros and had a wonderful time here. We literally stayed until close because we were having so much fun. I love that the bartenders were precise before making our drinks to ensure that we would enjoy them. From what kind of liquor we wanted to how strong. Cannot wait to be back here seriously! I'm a NY native and I myself felt like I was on vacation. It is on the pricey side but for the vibes, who cares! Thanks again! read more

Was a fine enough stop, but didn't feel it was fully worth the price tag. The menu was quite different from what we saw online (there were items on the online menu that were really the main reason we came), so that was a bummer. Wouldn't necessarily get the steak tartare again either, as it wasn't super flavorful. Felt more like a tourist-y type spot, which honestly we should have recognized when looking at the location. I'm not likely to return, but I think out of towners who are spending an afternoon exploring Dumbo would appreciate! read more

Stopped into Gair while in Brooklyn and really enjoyed it. The drinks were excellent -- if I had more time I definitely would've tried more from the cocktail menu. The appetizers were also very good . The space itself has a chic, open feel with a warm ambience. I'd happily come back to explore more of menu. read more

Gair blends Manhattan chic with a Brooklyn soundtrack, right in the heart of DUMBO's cobblestone charm. The atmosphere is elevated, magnetic, and effortlessly stylish perfect for sipping craft cocktails in good company. Each drink is thoughtfully curated and beautifully balanced, and the setting? A vibe. It's one of those places where the energy hums just right, cool without trying, intimate without feeling stiff. Whether you're on a date night or out for a sexy night with the girls, Gair delivers the kind of night you'll want to relive. read more

such a great low key spot. I went for my anniversary and the staff was awesome. Great vibe reasonably priced

Amazing people and amazing vibe and they got such a great atmosphere of people who want to have a great time

food was good, if the portions not small. the cacio e pepe omelet was tiny for $20, and felt laughable even in DUMBO. but the BEC was really good and worth its salt. the food is what bumps this up to a 3 star rating the service was by far the worst i've had in sometime. at first we were patient and chalked it up to how busy they were, and felt for them. our server genuinely seemed bothered to be serving people. i was especially unhappy when i flagged the server to ask for clarification on my drink, as i ordered a strawberry ginger matcha, which ended up being just ginger oat milk. she seemed annoyed that i pointed this out and was argumentative. if the drink came out as intended, they should remove it from the menu, and she should have offered to remove it from our bill, which she didn't. it's disingenuous to sell it as a matcha drink when it's pure oat milk and i wouldn't have paid $12 for it. overall we were excited to try, my fiancé loved his BEC and cocktail and even though the omelette was too small i enjoyed the way it tasted and thought the menu was fun and unique, but do to the poor service we certainly won't be back. read more

Stopped here for dinner. Greeted by a super friendly charismatic host who gave us several seating options before sitting us in a prime spot. Ambiance and vibe was great. Service was okay. Food was mediocre. Just look at my picture. It tastes just like how it looks and that was not worth $38. Oysters were good though and so was the harissa caramelized shallot dip. Just really disappointed in my main dish. Not a horrible place, just wouldn't go out of my way to dine here. read more

Love the ambience, so cozy and sexy and dim. The cocktail with passion fruit (forget the name) was incredible, like lying on a beach and the perfect blend of sweet and strong. The much-lauded burger was just okay actually. I prefer Smashburger in TimeOut actually, but still enjoyed this one. Great oysters, too. Solid Valrhona lava cake. Would come back and try other dishes as the season changes and definitely get that drink again. read more

Only came in for a cocktail side of the bar cocktails were good, but kind of sweet. If you're looking for a hip bar with craft cocktails, this is a great place to go in DUMBO. read more

Met me son here for brunch yesterday. While the pancakes and smash burger were both very good, the 'cold-pressed' Bloody Marys were tasteless, no spice, the only garnish was a lemon slice and we had to wonder, was there even any vodka in it. I asked for some hot sauce, and some salt and pepper. The hot sauce was delivered in a small cup. I was able to get 4 or 5 grains of pepper out of the pepper shaker, a single grain out of the salt shaker. The check out process was weird to in that someone who is guess is a manager presented handled the check and tip... with the wait staff present as if we weren't going to tip without being surrounded. Strange. We won't be going back. read more

The burger and fries are amazing! Love this place in a neighborhood that doesn't have that many choices.

Food - fantastic! Atmosphere- fantastic! Just gonna wait 45 min for food. Worth it but be ready to relax :) read more

Great atmosphere, cool bartenders that have no problem helping you with drink and food suggestions. Wonderful service.

Went here for brunch with my family. The food is top notch and the service is excellent. Also, the bartender is an expert in his/her craft. My wife loved the shakshuka and I thought the burger was fantastic. Kids loved their pancakes. A highly recommended spot by the DUMBO waterfront. read more

The design and feel of this restaurant is welcoming and chic. After a day of shopping in Dumbo my friend and I decided to pop on and have a burger. The burger was so good. It was juicy and filing, and the bun was soft. We sat at the bar, and our server was helpful in explaining the menu. He helped us not to over order as you can see the fries are enough to share. I ordered a gin based cocktail, and it was so refreshing. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend dining at Gair. read more

Horrible service. For a tourist place and location, I would definitely expect more. The server had a horrible attitude and never checked on us or our table. It wasn't even too busy which would be understandable and our waiter seemed bothered to be serving us with an attitude. She stood in the corner the whole time not doing anything and we had to eye her down to even just get the bill after she didn't come check on us at all the whole time we were there. Would expect better service at a place like this. No hospitality and would not recommend to anyone or be back. read more

Service is terrible. Arrogant staff. Sitting at the bar with barely anyone and the amount of time it took to get a drink is laughable. Food took forever. I have patience but this was just a joke read more

5 stars for: Ambiance Food Drinks Service Bonus points for the lovely smell the moment you walk in. Best cocktail bar I've been to in a while! read more

Ok so definitely don't go for brunch- our server was lovely but had to apologize because they don't actually have what was on their menu online at all. We tried to order a coffee, Bloody Mary and cocktail and they: don't have hot liquids, don't have bloody Mary's and were out of one of the ingredients to make the drink we ordered. It seems like it could be a decent place to get a cocktail in the afternoon, but to claim to serve brunch is 100% not accurate. read more

Ambiance, good drinks and a great place near the Brooklyn bridge. One of my favs in dumbo

Went to Gair for a date night and had a great experience. The cocktails were perfection, and our bartender, Ben, was both incredibly talented and genuinely personable. Will definitely be back! read more

A one of a kind experience. In a heavily crowded Dumbo, filled with bars who aspire to be, Gair ACTUALLY delivers. Fully thought out & artful cocktails, coupled with an understated food menu. Our bartender Albert was attentive, thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable, but most importantly, fun. One detail not to take for granted is the design of the bar, it fully creates a private & romantic ambience that at the same time also can be fun & open to possibility. To me the mark of a great bar is the balance between real fun, delicious drinks, and the comfort provided by the staff, and Gair hits all the marks. The only must visit bar in Dumbo, get the Peruvian Sour & the burger, live a little. read more

We stopped in for a drink. The space is lovely with two full walls of windows that they wisely chose to line with bar top seating. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the pleasant scent of incense. I had the cocktail with the burnt rosemary which was also a very nice multisensory experience. The service was polite and efficient. I liked it there and would definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood. read more

The food and drinks get 5 stars. Perfect creative cocktails and bites. Bar is gorgeous. However, service was terrible. I spent my 20's working in restaurants and loose sleep if I don't tip 20% even if the service was average. Left them 15 and slept like a baby. read more

Food is delicious, cocktails are lovely, staff and service is the best in the neighborhood, and the vibes are chill.

Food was delicious! We got the burger and shishito peppers. The burger bun was soft and soaked up the yummy comeback sauce. The drinks were also really nice! Our first drinks were the No Fumar and Love Lost. Both a little sweet, but otherwise well balanced. Our second round was even better with the Earth, Wind, and Fire and the Under the Influencer. read more

Super cool bar in an amazing location, right by the best photo spot in Brooklyn. Inventive, creative cocktails. Helpful service. Limited food menu, but very high quality for a bar. Gorgeous design. Only con is that it can get a little noisy when crowded, which it usually is! read more
