    Cool concept but could work on execution imo. I'm a huge fan of the idea of a dedicated creative space, and I like that you can just get a drink at the bar and work on whatever you want, which can be much more affordable than other art cafes in the city. The staff were super friendly and there was plenty of room in the walk-in/cafe/bar area. Selection of art supplies wasn't huge but there was a decent amount of variety. I will say the overall feel of the place felt very... curated.., but definitely very approachable for casual creative pursuits. They reeaaally need to improve their coffee though. I got a regular iced coffee ($5) and it was genuinely one of the worst coffees I've ever ordered. You can see from the picture that it looks like an iced tea, because that's how watered down it was. It's disappointing that one of the few non-alcoholic beverages offered fell so flat, even instant coffee would've been better. Appreciate the little glass of oat milk on the side though.

    Madeline's is a cocktail bar and restaurant that opened in Brooklyn, New York in November 2023. It…read morewas founded by business partners Brenton Land and Patrick Byrne. Land is a Brooklyn native who worked as a bartender at a number of NYC bars. Eventually he was hired to bartend at the popular Manhattan bar Vig Bar, which is owned by Irish native Byrne. Land learned a great deal at Vig Bar and ultimately became the General Manager. When a space previously home to the popular cocktail bar Ramona opened up in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, Land jumped at the chance to turn it into his own bar. He partnered up with Byrne and named it "Madeline's" (or simply "Mads") after a friend's daughter. Unlike Ramona's which was strictly a cocktail bar, Land wanted to bring a food element to Mads. He hired Greenpoint local Steve Bean to be Mads' chef. Bean curated an avant-garde menu that took inspiration from New American and French cuisine. He eventually parted ways with Madeline's, but the food program remains and the menu continues to evolve. The current food selection is focused more on elevated pub fare. The food and drink programs at Mads are primarily run by Land, who can still sometimes be seen crafting cocktails behind the bar. My wife and I recently visited Madeline's while we were spending the weekend in Brooklyn. My wife's cousin was getting married in Greenpoint and he and his fiancé were hosting a cocktail reception the evening before. It just so happens that the reception was held at Madeline's, which is one of their favorite bars. Most of the menu is dedicated to their house cocktails, but they also offer a variety of mocktails, wine, spirits, and beer. The food menu features an eclectic mix of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and various bar bites prepared with a modern twist. Madeline's also serves brunch on the weekends. My wife ordered the "Paw Paw Patrol" (ago mezcal el manantial, Aperol, paw paw fruit, green Chile, lime), while I had the "Fall In Love" (mocktail: pineapple shrub, clove, cinnamon, ginger beer). After receiving our drinks, we headed to the upper level and joined other members of our family. We really enjoyed our drinks; they were very refreshing and had so much flavor. We didn't end up ordering any food while we were there, but we saw customers around us ordering food and the presentation of the various plates was impressive. If you're looking for a fun cocktail bar while visiting Greenpoint, then definitely head to Madeline's!

Planning the event with Brenton was seamless and easy -- he answered my 100s of questions and was flexible with how it was structured. He gave good advice as to timing and decor tips. The day of, Jordan and Chris helped us in every way possible. They were so professional and quick, so meticulous and thoughtful. The upstairs private room is gorgeous, has wonderful lighting, and many guests asked how I found such a gem. 10/10!
