Stepped in here on an early Saturday afternoon, to kill time before brunch. It was completely empty, but likely because it was early. On the positive side, it's a very spacious bar and I saw board games stacked up, which tells me it can be a fun place to hang out. Now to the not as great. I sat at the bar and after looking at their cocktail menu, I ordered a French 75. You can imagine my surprise when I was served a drink in a single rocks glass which is basically what you'd serve an old fashion or other cocktail in. A French 75 needs to be in a flute. And at first, I thought maybe they don't have any flutes. Which still perplexed me because why have a French 75 on the menu if you don't have the right glassware. But I looked behind the bar and lo and behold, saw a flute. So not sure what that was about. The drink itself was ok. The other weird thing is that when I ordered, she rang it up and handed me the handheld device to pay. Since I was sitting at the bar, I'd expect to at least be asked if I wanted to open a tab or to just wait. Payment before the drink was made just rubbed me different. And of course, gratuity was tacked on, also rubbed me wrong. Because while I planned to tip, adding your own tip automatically to 1 drink is icky. read more

Wish I had time to explore the menu more. But only came here for drinks with some friends. It was a Monday night when we came, so it was pretty peaceful. The bartender let us know exactly where to order. Lychee martini 6/10: on the heavier side with the taste but it definitely got me tipsy. Wish there was more lychee flavor to it. read more

Let me start by saying the service from India and Patrick was great! So personable, pleasant and easy to talk to. I initially had the mango margarita ( I'm a margarita girl) but the rum punch is goood. Ambiance is cool, it does look like it could use a little TLC. My partner and I had the taco Tuesday special. He chose chicken and I chose steak. Sadly, I was not impressed. They didn't taste horrible. However, they aren't authentic tacos. My steak was steakums, (not fresh pieces of steak, the tortilla was a soft Ortega tortilla and I couldn't discern the flavor of the sauces but they were definitely store bought. Not a hit for me. I will come back to try other things from the menu. They have a great happy hour from 4-7, $7 drinks! And they're tasty. I definitely want to give this business another shot regarding the food. read more

A HAITIAN PIZZA BAR OF SORTS One of my co-workers suggested that we meet her after work because: (1) It's walking distance from work...The equivalent of taking the long way home. (2) We both needed a drink after an eventful, extra long work shift. We got the rum punch which was good but too strong for a Tuesday. (3) I had a craving for Haitian-style herring so we shared a herring pizza. Please note I approached this slice with the most apprehension that I ever had in life and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. Their pizza crust has an interesting crunch and flakiness to it that definitely giving homemade with a unique flair. The sauce was holding on to the generous amount of mozzarella while the herring and peppers were the shining star toppings. I enjoyed it so much that I would definitely order it again. If you are looking for a chill bar atmosphere with reimagined Haitian food classics to nosh on then come on in. Thursdays might not be so chill because it's Dance Thursdays and a DJ will be spinning Konpa chunes. It's work a try. read more

Recently had a very unprofessional and unpleasant experience with Market Bar. My friend and I were planning a surprise birthday party for another friend and chose Market Bar because of the vibe and the fact that it's Black-owned. It was difficult to get in touch with the staff to organize the event, but we eventually secured a date for 1/11 and put down a deposit for 6 PM-12 AM. We also confirmed that we could bring a DJ, which added to our excitement for the milestone celebration. On the day of the event, we arrived at the venue only to find it decorated for a baby shower, which left us confused. After contacting the point person, they informed us they were on their way. By the time they arrived, the event had already started, and we were told the venue was double-booked. They said they'd try to get the baby shower to cancel, but there was little effort made to resolve the situation. With no resolution in sight, we decided to leave, requested a refund of our deposit, and scrambled to find a new venue. This was extremely stressful and inconvenient as we had to move our guests, DJ, decor, and cake, but thankfully, we found another space. The following day, we contacted the staff, who were apologetic, professional, and returned the deposit quickly. While I appreciate the prompt refund and acknowledgment of their mistake, this experience was far from positive. Unfortunately, I can't see myself booking here again. read more

market bar is a hidden gem. the deals are really incredible and all the food is pretty delish. i tried the garden salad side with chicken and honestly, it was the most perfect salad. the shaved parm was perfect and the grilled chicken had great flavor and overall it was just such a simple and welcoming salad. i would totally recommend checking this place out honestly it's such a great local spot. read more

The service here was 5 star, unfortunately, that was the best thing about this place. The jerk chicken pizza looked so pretty and the first slice tasted delicious. It all went downhill after that. Somehow the second half of the pie was burnt. So disappointing. The happy hour margaritas were basic at best. They came out the frozen machine but they were liquid. The mix tasted bad but they used a good enough tequila so no headaches. The decor is average nothing to compliment or complain about. It's not Instagram/Tik Tok worthy if that is important to you. They have a lot of sitting so that's great. The bathroom is clean. I am going to give them another chance but I was disappointed. read more

I wanted to love this place, but it kinda fell flat for me. The aesthetic is a mix of like rustic, Mediterranean, board game cafe, local bar all wrapped in one, which I found confusing. Brewery in the name also doesn't make much sense to me since I didn't find beer to be a central part of their offering, but I'm personally not too particular on that front. The layout has a high table In the middle with board games, a bar on the right, then low seats on the wall to the left with pillows. The service was okay, but a bit awkward when we first walked in (this was a Sunday afternoon for reference). We weren't sure if you just sit down or wait to be seated. Our waitress was nice enough though. We ordered the wings and spicy chicken sandwich. I didn't like the spicy chicken sandwich, mainly because I didn't realize it was buffalo, which I'm not a fan of. That was my fault for not reading the menu correctly, but tbh overall I do think I could have had better at a fast food chain. My friend did like her chicken wings though, which the waitress had said was a popular choice. Based on reviews & the waitress's suggestion, it seems like the pizza might be what they're known for so that might have been a better option. Glad I tried it, but not sure if I'll be back--maybe if I wanted a drink, they seem like a nice casual spot for that. read more

This place is 100% NOT a brewery as they call themselves. They didn't have the Brooklyn IPA listed on the menu. They didn't have the cauliflower wings listed on the menu. They didn't have the grilled cheese sandwich my wife ordered. They didn't have the impossible burger my wife ordered as her second choice. However, they did give my wife spinach and cheese empanadas and an order of fries free of charge to make up for all the disappointments. The poppers were good. The empanadas were good. The herring pizza was good. We tried to support a local "black owned brewery" but unfortunately, Market Bar fell short. 2 stars because the service was good and so was the food we finally ended up with. **Here's a tip to all restaurants and bars - if you don't have something that's on the menu, either take it off the menu or tell people you are out of it before they spend time deciding on something order, only to be told it isn't available, and then go through this all over again once or even twice more. This happens to us way too often. This time I even called ahead and was told they have impossible burgers. Also - don't call yourself a brewery if you don't make beer. That's just outright intentionally deceptive business practice. read more

I loved everything here, but I wanted more from the griot pizza. They put an ample amount of meat but it shouldve have less cheese. It overpowered the griot flavor. Their BBQ wings are good they actually have some heat to it so be aware. I enjoyed their frozen cocktails which were the frozen rum punch and the frozen margarita which I asked to be mixed. So refreshing and strong. They have board games here and sometimes they have a DJ. During happy hour wings are $1 and specials on beers and pizza. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly. read more

It was a late night after a meeting in the middle of the week (Wednesday) and I needed to eat something warm fast. I knew about market bar through Instagram and friends so I decided to roll through. Luckily for me even after 10 pm, their kitchen was still open as opposed to only serving drinks. The people were generally nice when I asked about the menu and the options. It was a relatively quiet night with people hanging around the bar. People were watching various games on the flat screen TVs behind the bar. Because i had chicken earlier that day, i decided to get their pizza for a change. Wanting to try something different, I asked for their jerk chicken pizza. It was a bit of a wait but at least they were making my pizza fresh. In my opinion, the chicken was more on the sweeter side of jerk but it was a good flavor combo with the onion, peppers and tomato. I had asked for the smallest pizza possible (10 Inch) since I wasn't that hungry. I still had leftovers and I was able to get a pizza box to carry it home. I also had a Moscow mule and while it wasn't my favorite version of that drink, it was pretty decent. Overall, I'm willing to comeback again to see how it is during their happy hour and when it is more packed and lively. There is indoor and outdoor seating which is great for the summertime. read more

Probably the best Griot pizza and maybe the only Griot pizza I've ever had and It was the best. They were not selfish with the meat and provided a loaded pizza. The staff was welcoming and assisted with making my drink selection; A Passion fruit Margarita, layered with alcohol. Delicious!! The location is in central BK. The very chill spot that is great for a mid-day hang, easy dinner, or work chill spot... Basically anything. read more

Came on a Sunday in the afternoon and there was available seating. The ambiance was simple - not vibey - there were board games, seats with pillows along the window, tvs, music playing. The food was okay - we got wings and the spicy chicken sandwich. Maybe the pizza or pasta might have been more memorable as that is what is popular on their menu. Service was reasonable - the person behind the bar was also the one servicing the tables. read more

Visited this spot with a friend and it went better than I expected. We came during happy hour and they have some pretty good deals. Cocktails are $10, wings are $1 and then you can get a 10" and a beer for $15. I will say that I wish they carried more beer options than the 3 they have on draft and the two bottled ones. The lychee martini is a MUST! The wings were super crispy and packed with flavor and the aioli it comes with was the perfect touch. Griot on pizza sounded alarming to me but was actually better than I anticipated. The portions here are a decent size so expect leftovers. Anya was our server and waitress and she was the sweetest and def took care of us. I foresee this place being packed during the summer months. read more

Being new to the neighborhood, my roommate and I decided to try this place out. They serve coffee, food, and cocktails? Count us in! It was a Thursday night so not that busy which was perfect for us getting to know each other. It's a casual spot that isn't too noisy with a selection of yummy cocktails. They have fun games for folks to play while they hang out, and a number of books. They serve coffee and food so it isn't just a bar. I can see myself being a regular. Service was very sweet and attentive as well. Happy Hour is 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM and I'll definitely be swinging by for that. While we just got drinks (Lychee Martini was delicious) and appetizers (Fries, Mozzarella Sticks), I look forward to returning for food! read more

My partner and I are avid supporters of small businesses and really wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt after our first time here, so i waited to post this review. This is our second time here and our concerns were confirmed. Communication. First time, we were told sandwiches came with fries. They do not. This led to a weird confusion because I ordered fries separately as my meal (I wasn't very hungry) and my partner thought his sandwich would come with them. They brought only one order of fries, even after we confirmed with the bartender that the sandwich would come with fries. Upon bringing it up, he just shrugged. Fries are separate, even though the price of their handheld sandwiches is higher than most other places in this neighborhood. Second time here, the wait was HORRIBLE. We ordered Fresh Mozzarella (which we were told comes served like caprese with greens and tomatoes), the signature "Market Pizza", and a Green Salad with Buffalo chicken and ranch. It all arrived after we waited 45 minutes, but the restaurant was not busy. The mozzarella did not come with tomato or greens. It came with anchovies. This is not listed on the menu and the server mentioned nothing about it when asked. I hate seafood and my partner doesn't like anchovies. Instead of offering to remake it with no anchovies, the server just took the plate away. The salad was delivered with Italian dressing instead of ranch and no chicken. The pizza my partner ordered came without sausage, to which the server replied "yeah, the kitchen ran out of it". This was not communicated beforehand and we were still charged full price. This place is not good. Don't waste your time or money. If you are a supporter of small businesses there are plenty others open late on Flatbush like Midwood Flats or Fiona's bar. read more

Horrible service. No one greets you or acknowledge u . Then when you place a order . The guy never puts it in . Then he said he forgot. Then you wait 40mins. Thee Worst place to go . The food is pretty good . Been there several times . Still badd read more

This is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. They have amazing food and a great rum punch. The prices are affordable and the portions are worth it. I have tried many different dishes at different times; some of my favorites are the tacos, quesadilla, seafood pasta bowl, and pizzas (I've only had the cheese pizza). The food is well prepared and flavorful. The restaurant itself isn't so big but not cramped. They have outdoor seating and games to play as you dine or grab a few drinks with friends. It's very much a neighborhood bar type of atmosphere. The all the staff is pleasant and service is great! read more

This is an amazing neighborhood spot. Their happy hour is SUCH a great deal and their pizza is one I crave often- their crust is clearly homemade and their authentic jerk chicken is choice! The bartender is so sweet and nice, and I love the board game vibes! read more

So I'm writing this review solely to address the "free venue space promotion" that market bar is advertising on social media platforms . 1st to be completely honest if you are looking for a place to host something and you don't want to pay , you are honestly better off walking in with your group of people and here's why ... 1. The reservation secures absolutely nothing . Does not give you any different treatment or space or anything . So honestly what's the point . 2. In my personal experience there is a lack of professionalism and communication between what seems to be the booking agent and the actual bar staff and management as I booked for a date and on the date upon arrival I was told by the server that she wasn't informed about my reservation . 3. The manager who ultimately had to be called to verify I had a reservation and to help me sort things out appeared for just about 15 minutes before disappearing for the rest of the night . 4. The drinks and food are overpriced and not good . 5. The female bartender has an attitude and while working my reservation went outside while on the clock to smoke weed and drink alcohol leaving the bar unattended for at least 30 minutes . Oh also the same aforementioned female bartender has a habit of picking up the phone when you call the bar to verify your reservation and leaving it on the counter with no intention of answering you until eventually you hang up . I also experienced this firsthand on the day of my reservation. All in all please find somewhere else to spend your hard earned money and if you absolutely must go here , don't make a reservation just walk in with however many people you want I promise it doesn't change the experience you will have at all . Overall would not recommend . read more
