I came here with a friend for drinks on a Thursday night. It was pretty busy, but we managed to get a seat.
They have mostly cocktails and a few draft beer options. I tried the amalfi (vodka, muddled lemon, limoncello, and fresh rosemary).
Drinks weren't horrendously overpriced, and it was a cute bar. I'd venture back if I were in the area.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 36325594Jul 8, 2023
Cute neighborhood bar with a great house playlist, indoor seating, a pool table, and a spacious yard with more seating options and a thoughtfully placed can of OFF (bug spray) on each table.
My boyfriend had been talking about this bar for a while, as he said he used to frequent it when he used to live nearby, and we finally got the chance to visit together last night. The crowd nowadays skews 30's/40's 9-to-5ers, the type to pair a black spaghetti strap dress with white tennis shoes and a fanny pack (read: not really my kind of people), so do what you will with that information, but I dig the bar itself.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 1518790Feb 21, 2023
Came for an after dinner cocktail. Cute quaint place with good service. If I'm in the area, I would return. They have a pool table in the back which seems to be popular. Shout out to gender neutral bathrooms because it certainly made the potty line move faster.

Brooklyn Social is my favorite Carroll Gardens bar! The drinks are top notch and so affordably priced. The bartenders are super friendly and make drinks impressively fast. I'm always looking for an excuse to stop by!

Really great hole in the wall bar with an open pool table. Everything is cash but the chase and td bank is right down the street. I had amazing whiskey drinks here and think this place deserves more than the 4 stars. I guess when I went the service has gotten a lot better.

Who doesn't love a good urban dive bar with a touch of class?! Hidden gem off of smith street with unique cocktails and cool, friendly staff! Great spot for a first date drink or to meet a group of friends on a weeknight.
