Zig Zag is a funky eclectic tiki bar with really well priced cocktails. The drinks are delicious and on point. I loved their Naked & Famous and their Paper Plane. The bartender was attentive and chill. This place is all about the decor though. If in the heart of BedStuy I highly recommend. read more

A hidden gem, I wont be surprised if this spot is a favorite for the neighbors. A mix of Cocktails and drinks that will make you enjoy your sipping. Service: You order at the bar and go find yourself a seat. The staff is very friendly. Food: There is no food served here. However you can bring your own snack or small bites here as long as you get drinks. Ambiance: Music playing in the background not too loud to let people chat and enjoy the vibe. I can see this place as a good date spot, tho it might get noisy and hard to hear so save that for later on. read more

Zig Zag - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We came here after visiting a bar in the area. That was overcrowded. My friend went to for frozen drinks. We looked online and it said that this place had great frozen drinks as well. But when we arrived we found out there were none so we ordered off of their menu. We should have just left and went somewhere else, but we were tired of riding around looking for good frozen drinks.The guy bartender was kind of rude and I think the lady bartender noticed so she was extremely nice, overcompensating. He was also coughing a lot, and blowing his nose. Like dude , you might want to cover your mouth and not touch people's straws. My friend got one of their specialty drinks and said it was okay. But not the best. I ordered one of my favorite drinks a pain killer and it was definitely not a painkiller. I'm not sure who taught them how to make it. But it was missing the most key ingredients that make it what it is the cream of coconut and pineapple juice. It was extremely acidic (splashes of low quality orange and pineapple juices) and made with poorly substituted rum (I was sure to ask was it the British navy rum listed on the menu). On top of all of this, the cute little cup of sadness was sixteen dollars! I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon though I thought the aesthetic was very cute. read more

I'm destined to never get a tiki style cup to satiate my love of tiki bars; but I won't let that hinder me from finding a place that can fulfill my immersive needs (lmao). Although this spot doesn't have tiki like cocktails their music is on point (disco/funk) and the place is super cute. With little nooks to chill in a group setting or cozy up with a date. This is definitely going into my repertoire. The drinks were ok, definitely better than most tiki themed bars I've been to. No nasty syrups here (that I took notice of). Overall it's worth a visit if you're local and for the cozy feels. read more

Zig Zag - Outdoors. Frozen strawberry daiquiri and a lemony cocktail. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love Zig-Zag, always a good mixed crowd- solid cocktails and usually you can snag a seat in one of their many corners. Friendly service and an epic Snake painting serves as a solid backdrop for selfies. The drinks aren't cheap but they aren't $20 and it's a good spot to meet up with friends before the night gets going. read more

Came here for drinks on a Saturday night with my sister in law and loved the experience. The ambience was relaxing and calm. The drinks were strong and the staff was friendly. I can't wait to visit again. read more

I came here with a friend to just grab a quick drink.... well that definitely turned into 3 Heminway Daquiri later they were really good. The bartender she makes amazing drinks super friendly. It was a Tuesday night so it was a quiet night. They have empanadas on the menu but that night they only had Spinach. My friend had the painkiller which was good too but mines were so much better The decor in the place is soooo freaking gorgeous. It gives you a wild sexy jungle feel! read more

This place was pretty cool. The vibe was great. They played good music. The drinks were tasty and you didn't feel ripped off on the amount of alcohol they poured. Prices were somewhat decent. The place was clean and the bartenders were nice. Nothing much to say here, this place was very solid. Located in the heart of bed stuy. I'd come here again. You should check it out. read more

I'm a sucker for a good tiki bar, we started at one bar and found out some friends were here so we decided to make our way over and I am glad we did. They have awesome outdoor seating that we decided to enjoy, I love the decorations; and it was great to hang out. Our waitress was awesome, sometimes when you sit outside they forget about you, she certainly didn't which was awesome. They have a number of your typical tiki drinks, I decided to try something I had never had called the Saturn and it was delicious! It is gin based with a great blend of fruits and lemon juice, they also came in these awesome shark glasses which I loved! I really enjoyed myself and can't wait to get back here! read more

Overall rating: 4.9 I absolutely love this place, but I've learned it depends on the bartender if I love the place or if I absolutely love this place. The first time I went, the music was sooo good. The vibe was everything. I felt like I could be there for hours. I went on a date which just went okay, but I knew I'd be back again. It's a spot where I know I can go solo or on a date, which is my favorite kind of place. The second time I went I liked as well. But the music wasn't the same vibe as I got initially. It was a little bit more grungy than I would have liked, especially for a tiki-style bar. I wish I remembered the day I went on the first time, so I can just repeat that experience but so worth the visit. They also have a HH deal that's amazing. I wish I remembered it, but you can find it on the menu. Also definitely a late night, night caps spot. read more

I had an amazing time here! The drinks were so tasty and strong too. Music was amazing and the decor was on point.

Was bar hopping with my friends. The drinks where delicious I had 2 pain killers. Service was excellent. It was a decent amount of people inside for a early Friday morning 1am. It was clean. read more

If you're looking for a unique and vibrant Tiki experience, this is THE PLACE to be at. The ambiance is playful and inviting with colorful decor and neon lights that set the perfect mood. Their Tiki-inspired cocktails are not only delicious but also creatively presented in adorable cups that add to the fun. I've visited Zig Zag Bar twice now, and both times have been memorable. The staff is friendly, the vibe is nice, and the outdoor seating is a bonus! If you're in the mood for a casual hangout with friends, a night of enjoyment, and some good cocktails, Zig Zag Bar is a must-visit! read more

Dennis and Forbes are the best! Went a few weeks back and have been too busy to have stoped in since. Great drinks, cool vibes and enjoyable conversation. Highly recommend read more

As a person that doesn't much care for bright lights, the dim setting of Zig Zag is an immediate draw for me. There's a deceptive amount of space in this bar that makes it ideal for a group of friends, but you can also snag a cozy corner seat at the bar or in a side nook if you're looking for a more intimate feel. They feature drinks like pina coladas and painkillers, which you'd expect from a tiki bar, and their house specialties as well. What I enjoy are the variety of sipping rums to choose from. Rum bars are outrageously underrated in my humble opinion. You'll also be happy to know that they have a happy hour menu of $7 drinks until 7pm during the week. This review I started before covid took us by surprise, and wasn't able to finish until their recent reopening just a couple of months ago. I was so upset about last year's closure, and now I feel like I have to make up for lost time. Glad to have Zig Zag back in the neighborhood! See you there! read more

Such a cute tiki bar down the street of my friend's place. I love love love tiki bars and this was a good find. The decor was so cute and the service was great. Bathroom was nice and clean too! When at a tiki bar, I obviously get a piña colada. It was delicious. I came here before dinner, and then we wanted drinks after dinner and I came back again for more. In total I had 3 piña coladas that day :) read more

Zig Zag - piña colada - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It is rare that I leave a cocktail completely full, but wow Zig Zag did an injustice to all the drinks my cousin, friend, and I had. We were excited to walk into the bar- the decor was fun and festive, the music had us feeling like we were back in junior high, and the setting was intimate enough where we could still carry on conversations with one another. We ordered the pain killer, which was similar to a pina colada (based on the menu description) and the Montenegro paloma (tequila, amaro, and grapefruit). Both were absolutely terrible- they were overly sweetened and tasted nothing like they were supposed to. We barely had a few sips and landed up leaving our drinks and the bar. It is clear this is one of those places that's all about the Instagram posts. The only redeeming quality about our experience- the nice bartenders. Safe to say I will not be returning. read more

Ok now, Zig Zag...have been here a few times & like this place a lot. The place is low key, almost hidden, and sexy in a 70s love shack vibe. There was obvious care & attention taken into decorating the place, and it is nice looking. The decor is dimly lit without being too bright, & that adds more to the vibe than it takes away. The music is loud enough w/o being overpowering so no need to scream at who you're with. Zig Zag did it for me. The drinks are well made, and while everything isn't premium, nothing here felt bottom shelf. It can get very crowded on a good night, so a nice spot to chill with a date will have to be...fought for lol. The bar can get crowded, and because they have a good selection with craft drinks, the wait is not short. I wish I was here getting a drink at 1am right now, but...it's a nice place with really good drinks and it's a cool vibe. read more

This is a cool little place to hangout before or after you grab dinner in the area. The decor is rad, the drinks are pretty good and the staff was attentive and friendly. I just wouldn't recommend planning your night around Zig Zag as the drinks are a bit pricey and you can rack up a large bill pretty quick. It's definitely worth checking out though, especially during happy hour. One drink I highly recommend is the painkiller. The other great choice is a Pom Pom Punch. read more

Such an interesting bar! A friend and I decided to stop by here after having dinner in the area. She had been before and told me that it was unassuming from the outside (which it was) but that I would be in for a treat once we stepped inside. When you go inside you see this large lounge like space with large paintings on each wall and couch like seating against the walls. The space itself was dimly lit and there was a bar in the middle of the space. The menu and drinks here are the real catch. I ended up going with the cocktail that was served in a shark cup (wild, right?). Overall the service here was great. We were the only ones sitting indoors so we had very fast service. The space seems perfect to bring friends to. Come if you're in Bedstuy! read more

Omg love this bar!!! Its location is discreet. As you enter, the darkness, fluorescent lighting, tropical decor, and soft music fill your spirit. It is VERY clean...immaculate from the bar to the bathroom. The energy and crowd is that of intelligence and sophistication. It's very low key and I hope it stays that way. The bartender was nice and provided great service. My bourbon and Coca Cola was the best I've had in a long while. Their branded cocktails are served in tiki cups with sustainable straws! (Check). SN: they don't serve food. Empanadas are sold at certain times but I saw a microwave so I'm not sure how worth it they are. Rad bar vibe. I suppose it's for the drunks who need some food on their stomachs. Worth a visit! :-) read more

If you want low key chill vibes this is the place to go. Drink prices are reasonable and drinks are strong. I had the Oaxaca Old Fashioned which was strong it's made with mezcal and tequila. My friend had a Saturn which was made with gin and that's the first time I had a gin drink that I couldn't tell it was in it. Good place to come if you're into rum cocktails. However, they also a few gin and tequila cocktails too. The decor is a tropical and very dark with black lights. This is a perfect place to come on a date or for a more intimate setting where you can hear each other talk. The bartender, Xavier was very friendly. read more

This bar has a cool vibe and is pretty low key. There's music but it isn't blasting. You can actually hear the person next to you speak. It was a really nice change from the usual loud bar scene. There was a variety of tiki drinks to choose from. One drink had me feeling good. Not the usual super sweet tiki drink with no punch. read more

Love the drinks and the vibe here. Such a neighborhood gem! Would definitely recommend if your are in the area.

This spot is the shit! I hope no one else goes. :D Drinks are strong and well made. Decor is gorgeous. Crowd is meh - some mixture is needed. Empanadas - YUM!!! read more

Really loved this place. Gorgeous decor. Speakeasy vibes. Cool bartender. Good value for drinks. Intimate atmosphere. What more could anyone ask for? It's a bar where one could easily become a regular, and it seems regulars are welcome. read more

Cute place to grab drinks if you're in the neighborhood. It was really quiet and the bartender was nice.

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service. The hand crafted seasonal cocktails are awesome.

New spot it's feels like a Miami vibes feeling. It's nice for groups of friends awesome place to go for fun. I recommend this SPOT.

I visited this bar to be turned away by a gentleman saying the night was slow and they were closing for the night at only 12: 54 am . I was with least 8 people and was turned away so how can your night be slow if we are coming to spend more money at your establishment ? I'm guessing maybe because some the people I was with were LGBTQ . So ridiculous since I'm a regular at this place and the closing time is usually 2am . Discrimination sucks . read more

Randomly came by to kill time before going to Saraghina and ended up staying an hour having some Montenegro shots and a Mezcal/yellow chartreuse cocktail. Great stuff. Xavier's a solid bartender. I'll def be back with the squad or a date night with the fiancé. Both vibes are a go here on a Sunday eve. read more

Beautiful Speakeasy bar brinks is beautiful great for groups of friends. I'm heading back there tonight I love this bar

So.. it's a Saturday summer night. The weather is perfect it's not to dark there's a nice breeze passing by and my boyfriend and I decide to walk a few blocks from our house over to this bar. We both pass this bar frequently always reminding ourselves that "one day we need to stop in, this place looks cool". You would think with the inviting wall decor, neon lights and beach house aesthetic that the staff would be just as inviting. WRONG. It's 8pm and this place has a total of 7 patrons. My boyfriend and I walk in for the first time AMAZED at how awesome the inside looks. I mean we talkin dim lights, soft music and a small crowd here! So we walk directly to the bar, stare at the wall with some handwritten drinks for a total of 15 seconds and we wait for the bartender to acknowledge us. 1 minute passes by and NOTHING. At this point we were confused if someone was even behind the bar working because there were a group of women huddled in a corner. So we turn to each other.. continue to look around to see where the bartender was and then notice the group of women who were having this conversation turn around to look at us... then turn back around to continue their conversation. So at this point we've located who the bartender was and realized that our presence wasn't as important as this conversation she was having. So I WALK MY ASS OUT. Patronize a place that lacks customer service ? No thanks. Her attitude was that of someone who works in Chelsea or Williamsburg not in BEDFORD STUYVESANT on MARCUS GARVEY BOULEVARD. When I tell you I walked back inside and asked what her name was I WAS UPSET. Luckily for her I forgot her name but let me tell YOU something little miss Hawaiin shirt (only thing I remember seeing because it was dark). YOU work in BED STUY, there's not much I expect from people but as a bartender the least you can do is acknowledge when someone approaches the bar AND DO YOUR JOB. Your attitude was gross, negligent and a PERFECT representation of the type of place Bed Stuy IS NOT. Take your attitude to flat iron where you can be met with that same energy boo. Not over here. The 5 minutes spent in here told me all that I needed to know about this place. Long story short. Don't come here read more

Really cute decor. I really want this place to be doing better because it is so cute. But if you're wondering why it's always empty on a Saturday night, try one of the cocktails. They all taste like straight simple syrup. I went when they first opened and figured they needed to work out the kinks. It's been months and every time I go to Barbs next door, zig zag is still pretty empty. I went again last week to try it out again and nope, they serve straight up sugar in a glass and call it a cocktail ‍ read more
