Everything was offered as one or two ounces pours, so you could sample a bunch or relish exclusive bottles. I had one ounce of the Lucky Thirteen for $15. I typically see the bottle at a $200-$300 price point, so it was nice to get a taste without the huge splurge. Wonderful aroma. Sweet and vanilla forward reminding me of marshmallows. Sweet corn flavor too eventually switching over to more spicy flavors from the run in the late flavor and during the finish. Staff was quick, friendly, and helpful. There was one single occupancy restroom. Dynamic atmosphere. Huge sprawling windows allowing plenty of breeze and sunlight when opened. They have monstrous black out curtains which can be draped to instill a classic dim and romantic speakeasy vibe.

The vibes are classy with an entire wall of bottles lit up for a nice ambiance. Since we had our pup with us, we sat in the patio. I ordered the Rye Tea Punch ($16) while the boyfriend got the 10 Year Old Fashioned ($16). It was so cute how my drink came in a little clear teacup, which was a nice touch. The only thing that was disappointing was the slow service. We had asked for the check, but it never came around after waiting 15 minutes. We had reservations to get to, so the delay was annoying. I ended up walking up to the bartender to close out the tab since we never got our check.

Such a hidden gem! We stumbled upon this spot during our day in Red hook and were so happy we…read moredecided to check it out. It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth checking out. The bartenders were welcoming and friendly and explained their cocktail menu. They let us sample some of their gin before we decided on which cocktail we wanted. They have a small tasting room with bar seats, a few tables and two couches. Most cocktails were $15 each and very delicious/fresh! I tried two different ones and liked them both! I watched them freshly strain the raspberries to make the raspberry syrup that went into one of the drinks. Overall, the service was excellent and the cocktails were top notch! I would definitely recommend making this a stop when you need to get out of the heat and want a fresh handcrafted cocktail.

Walking in to the place you wouldn't think much but the staff is incredibly friendly and the drinks are delicious! They focus on Gin but the previous owners made whiskey and left the barrels for the new owner so they are selling whatever whiskey they have and once it's sold out it's out! This place is definitely worth stopping by.

Walked into Bar Mario in Red Hook like I was just "stopping in for one drink." Rookie mistake…read more This place feels like it's been here forever--in the best way. Cozy, old-school Italian vibes, staff speaking Italian like they're judging you lovingly, and Negronis that'll make you rethink every bad decision you've ever made at a bar. I ordered the lasagna because a man should test a kitchen on its fundamentals. Absolute home run. Rich, layered, comforting--felt like someone's nonna was in the back nodding in approval. No notes. No leftovers. Bar Mario isn't trying to be trendy. It's just confident, timeless, and quietly excellent. The kind of spot where you come hungry, leave happy, and start planning your next visit before you even hit the sidewalk.

I have now been to Bar Mario several times, and it is absolutely worth a 5-star review…read more First, the ambience is terrific. It's not a huge restaurant (so I would make a reservation): a few 2- and 4-seat high tops, maybe 6 or 7 tables, and a bar with about 10 seats. But the environment is warm and cozy, with low lighting and music loud enough to enjoy, soft enough to have conversations with your party, the bartender, or whoever else. The servers are all excellent. Very charming and friendly. They check in often, but not in an intrusive way. I've also seen the owner walking around, greeting customers, and talking with his staff. He's always around, and he's a friendly presence. There's such a great neighborhood vibe here - there are definitely some regulars here, and it helps create a homey atmosphere. The food here is outstanding. I have not had a bad dish here. The Caesar salad is actually made with several long stalks of romaine, so it stays crisp. The meatballs come with polenta around the plate, and it is fantastic. I've also had the hangover spaghetti (excellent) and the lasagna (amazing). Their calamari also has a few shrimp and (I think) some bay scallops, so that's a great addition. And their cocktails are outstanding - potent but flavorful. I don't get a chance to go to Red Hook much, but when I do, I definitely want to stop here. It's on the "main road" of Red Hook, and there are definitely some cute shops and coffee places around, and of course, there's Ikea not too far. This restaurant, though, deserves your business.

The energy was incredible--definitely the kind of local spot where people come to relax and hang out like it's their second home. The drinks were fantastic, and I loved that they offered such a wide variety. They even had regular hot tea if you wanted something non-alcoholic, plus a whole range of other NA options. The space itself is amazing and surprisingly spacious, with outdoor seating as well. I didn't get to catch the live music this time, but they have it every night! I'll definitely be back :) P.S. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM in the back.

Take away the hype and the price and it's 5 stars…read more BUT the hype is all you hear about - best burger in NYC. Impossible to book reservations. Yadda yadda I snagged a reservation. People line up before opening to get on the waitlist but they all got seats. Show up at 130 after the 12pm rush on the weekends and you have a great shot. We got a table right away and didn't have to wait. Decent menu but the prices reflect its popularity Best item we ate - French onion soup. Delicious. Rich. Cheese was all melted against the side of the bowl. This was perfectly salty and cheesy. The definition of French onion soup. $18 - pricy. But tasty Next best - Reuben. Perfectly done. Crisp. Savory. Covered in sauce Okay finally the burger Was it a good burger absolutely. It was thick, juicy and perfectly cooked. The semi cooked onion added to the flavor and I can see why it hyped up. BUT $34 FOR A BURGER?!? When you take the price into consideration, I don't think it's worth it. The burger is solid, but not for that amount of money The thing that surprise me was the French onion soup and the service which was almost Michelin level. Cables were cleared quickly, they wiped down the tables in between each course. I would come back on a winter day to get the soup and maybe another item off the menu.

This is a hot take but I will say the $24 Ruben here is better than the $34 dry age burger. However, I will say the burger was also pretty good as well. We got the burger medium rare. It was very juicy when bitten into. Service was a little bit mediocre given they were trying to move people in and out as fast as possible. Great casual spot. Typically they say that it is only reservations and the walk-in list is for if they are cancellations only. We were very fortunate in being able to have walked in and gotten a spot.
