However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

I had the passion fruit cosmo, hibiscus cosmo and gentlemen's buck - all were delicious! $16 a drink and you have to order at the bar. There is AC but not blasting. So it will take you a minute to get cool. The music was amazing, lots of old school hip hop. Got harder to talk as the night went on because it got louder with the music or people talking.

As a whole, Buschwick still has margins of neighborhoods that are quite unassuming. This restaurant…read moreis representative of that. Environment The environment didn't leave much to be desired. The music selection was quite exceptional and there was ample seating when I arrived in the late evening. If you're a lover of either bar or booth seating you'll find both of your desires will be met. SIPS I settled on the Passionfruit Spritz which was both refreshing and packed a small punch. If in need of a more spirit forward or herbal option there were plenty of other options in their menu. Overall, Palmetto was a delightful experience. The cocktails, environment and service all worked together for a seamlessly pleasant experience. Happy Sips!

Their cocktails and drinks are great! Doesn't matter which bartender, they maintain the same standard. We opt to go early as they get pretty packed on the weeekend/ evenings.

The menu is pretty diverse with various appetizers, sushi, and also ramen/curry so your standard izakaya fare. One of my favorite dishes here has been the chirashi. The fish was very fresh and it's pretty affordable. I've only ever been here in groups of two and I probably would recommend it for smaller groups because the space itself is small and most of the tables are two-seaters if I recall correctly.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

Each visit is an opportunity to explore something new, whether it's a rare small-batch bourbon or a smooth, well-aged rye. The knowledgeable and passionate staff truly enhance the experience, always eager to share their expertise and offer personalized recommendations based on your preferences. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your whiskey journey, this bar is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates finely crafted spirits. read more

Walked into the bar and I immediately loved the atmosphere. It had a certain sophistication about it that made you feel you weren't just there to drink beer and get drunk, but to critique each beer tasted. Bartender was awesome. Let us try a bunch of different beers as samples. Compared to the bar up the street (Rudy's) that boasts cheap beer and free food, spare yourself the horrible experience and go to the The Moonlight Mile instead. I wish I didn't live in Nebraska or else I'd come back to this place many more times. Keep it up. read more

He suggested we meet up on one his fly-bys and I obliged. The bourbon and whiskey list is EXTENSIVE. If you're an aficionado of either, I challenge you to think of something they might not have.

The dining area is pretty open spaced. The tables didn't look too close together. I would say this is an excellent date spot. Take a look around the corner to the back of the establishment and you'll find a smaller room with a pool table. We migrated there the moment we found it.
