    Nachos
    Saasha G.

    My new favorite bar! Happy hour u til 8pm and plenty of activities daily. I want to go back for trivia night since it seemed to be well talked about and they have a lot of regulars as we sat at the bar and made friends. The food was really good as well I had nachos and got my chicken and jalapeño on the side since I was sharing with someone who didn't eat meat. The drinks were really good and happy hour margaritas were only 10 bucks!!! The most Irish bar I've ever been too!

    My husband and I randomly dropped in for brunch and OMG... it was so good! We each got a cocktail (~$13 each) which were delicious. Then we shared 2 entrees, but there were so many items on the menu that looked good. Brunch smashburger - really generous serving, the meat and accompaniments were fantastic with perfectly cooked thick cut bacon. Fries were solid pub fries. Truffle egg and Prosciutto- served on what tasted like housemade English muffin. Prosciutto was perfectly crisp and not too gamey. Eggs had a good level of Truffle but wasn't overpowering. Side salad was refreshing though maybe a little heavier on dressing for our preference. Service was efficient and friendly. Was a relaxed atmosphere, busy but not chaotic. We absolutely plan to return, as their snacks and dinner menus also look really good.

    Just what the neighborhood needed! This is the ultimate in Irish pubs . With some actual employees from the emerald isle. The Buffalo wings are the best in the area and you have to try the burger and fries. It has just the right lighting to make a night out with spouse or just friends and if you get there before 8pm you might get a seat at the bar . My wife came here and played trivia along with my mother in law. What a treat .

    Best mojitos! So refreshing and delightful. Also had the pretzels with the different dips. Devoured it and forgot to get a picture - by the time I remembered it was too late. Super yummy. We ate outside during the block party and what a time. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. Would definitely return to try a few other items on the menu.

    This is my neighborhood bar. When I think to myself "I want a drink," this is where I think to go to. The bartenders here are cool and very talented. I'm bad with names, but the French bartender makers custom drinks and can speak to any palate. The food is high quality, especially for a pub environment. I've had the truffle cheese steak and the pretzel. Both were outstanding. The happy hour is a sweet deal, especially for Franklin avenue.

    Went with my family, perfect for adults or adults with children! Has a bar and kitchen. I had a cheeseburger and Guinness on draft. Great service, will be back!

    The Canary is a cozy neighborhood bar located in Crown Heights. It was a nice place to enjoy a cold beer and some good food after a picnic in Prospect Park. Service was friendly and accommodating. I sprained my ankle and was wearing a medical boot so the server immediately asked if we wanted a table in the back-that was really nice. They have a good selection of beers on draft including several local options. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful and came with a good portion of thick cut fries. The fish 'n chops were also tasty. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. Cheers!!

    Awesome happy hour and great espresso martini. Vibes are impeccable. Haven't tried the food yet, but looking forward to it.

    Celebrated my birthday here and we ended up staying the entire night instead of going to a second place, like we had agreed to. Although our food was delayed, it was reaaally good, and our drinks were coming fast. Really loved the vibe of this place, and they were also playing great music!

    Cheers

    A time was had , it's definitely a small cozy bar. Our server was amazing , I had the Philly cheese sandwich I believe it was . It was so good !, I highly recommend!. I didn't give a 5 star due to it being so tightly cramped for our party of 5.

    The Canary is a great addition to the neighborhood! We came here for happy hour and had a nice time. They have great happy hour deals ($10 signature cocktails and $6 well drinks and select wine). I got the watermelon drugstore and the gardener's gimlet and both were tasty and a great value. We also ordered the pretzel, and although it was delicious and seemed freshly made, it was smaller than we were expecting for the price. Happy hour usually goes until 8pm on weeknights, but it goes until 9pm on Wednesdays. I was surprised at how busy it gets on weeknights! They also have trivia on Mondays and taco Tuesdays.

    I've been trying to go to Sunken Harbor for over a year now. I don't know how it's possible but…read moredespite being local it always seems to have a private event whenever we have plans to go. The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

    Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.
