Review from Guy G.
Woodside, NY

There are a good many things that make reBar the intriguing, buzzing place that it is. The locally produced art-work that hangs on the walls (all of which is available to purchase); the endless supply of craft ales, lagers and stouts; the most diverse selection of liquors and spirits you'll ever see and of course their food.
Let me talk about their food, in particular the signature dish, for which reBar is best known: The reBurger.
The patty is juicy, thick and delicious - you know as soon as you take that first bite the beef is sourced from a fine, caring place. The lettuce - fresh and green as a countryside field on a Spring morning. Succulent pickles to add that distinct real-burger flavour and crunch. The relish that has a flavour to keep you wanting more and more. And finally there's the lightly toasted bun to hold it all together with just the right crispy texture.
Yes, the reBurger is something you'll want to try again and again, which you'll be happy to do for it's (fairly) reasonable price. And even though DUMBO may be a little out of the way to go for a burger but you'll soon realise that the trip was worth the effort.
See you there! -

Walking in here for the first time, I could totally see how many feel drawn to use this place as a wedding venue. The brick wall, the old chandeliers on the high ceilings, the gorgeous bar. Had I not already chosen a venue, this place would be serious contender.
The lunch special is great deal. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich while my fiance had the Brooklyn cheese steak. The cheese steak, with that melted Gouda cheese was a clear winner! My pulled pork was decent (especially when paired with the mango cole slaw) put wasn't too satisfying my palate. Fries were good and you get unlimited sodas.
Service was quick and helpful. Weird experience passing by someone's room while heading to the bathroom. -

New Years here was Epic! Everyone I came with was weary because of the cover but it was definitely worth it. Great food (all the yummy raw oysters I could eat), fabulous liquor and fun people. There were three bars that were easy to get drinks at, our favorite by far was Gabriel's bar. Gabriel was down for most anything.
2012 started of with a BANG! BANG! Thanks to ReBar -

I went here twice in one week- on a Thursday and a Saturday, both around 9:30, after my performances.
On Thursday it was fantastic! There weren't too many people there, the bar tender was friendly and generous, and they had a room open with a DJ that wasn't very crowded. I had about 10 people with me, so this was perfect- we could sit on couches, use the high tables, or dance as we pleased. The food was pretty good, even though it was a little pricey, and my antipasta only had one meat and one cheese. I also had brussel sprouts with pomegranates, which sounded amazing but left me disappointed. However, I loved the ambiance and the staff, so I decided to go back after my show Saturday.
Bad choice! Saturday was super crowded and I was with about 15 people. There was no where to sit, and the room that we had been in on Thursday was closed. The bartender, through no fault of his own, took forever to serve us. Also, I ordered a potato leek soup that was delicious but very small.
I also would note in the back there seemed to be a movie theatre with car seats (which I would definitely check out). There was also a great art collection in the hallway.
Finally- I left my bag there on Thursday and they were very cooperative and helpful in finding in, locking it up, and returning it.
Overall I would go back, just not on the weekend! -

Hands down one of my favorite places in DUMBO! This bar shares a gallery space, attracts a gorgeous crowd, and offers an expansive alcohol menu along with a fantastic food menu. The best is that the kitchen is open late, so when you're trolling this area on a monday night when Superfine is closed and it's approaching midnight, you are guaranteed a good end to the night here.
My 2 favorites on the menu:
1. Balvenie Carribean Cask Single Malt Scotch for $14
2. the POPCORN offering. For $5, you get a choice from 3 "powders", including garlic, paprika and cheese, and a selection of "fats", including olive oil, butter, smoked bacon, and duckfat.
There's also a great-looking burger, always cooked to order, and lunch specials. The bathroom can feel a bit desolate though, so it's always nice to take that trip down the hallway with a pal. -

Came here to celebrate NYE with a small group of people for all you can drink and all you can eat from 9PM-3AM. We had a blast. There was a dance floor, a screen showing the Times Square NYE celebration, complimentary coat check, friendly bouncers, a great open bar with friendly bartenders, and a wide selection of hot foods and hors d'oeuvres and fruits and veggies. Some notable ones were BLT sliders, truffle oil grilled cheese, hanger steak with buttery potatoes, oysters, crab legs, pastas, salad, and of course delicious popcorn at the table. Had a blast!

I'm a worker in the area, so I come here for the occasional nice and relaxed breakfast. This rating is for their breakfast fare, which I consider the best option in the area when I have the time to sit down a while.
Until 11 am they offer an unparalleled (anywhere I've seen, ever) prix fixe breakfast for $4. Choice of sandwich, bottomless coffee, and a fruit. The sandwich is egg and cheese, or egg and salmon, or egg and veggie, or pulled pork (!) and egg. Sandwiches are not large but not small, and the coffee is very good. Fruit is often not high quality, I am sorry to say.
The food comes out in minutes, so if I were in a rush I could get this, but I prefer to take my time. reBar's decor is beautiful. Breakfast is at the bar, and it is always very quiet in the morning. The waiter is thus very attentive and also leaves me alone. I sip my coffee, read my bridge magazine, and sometimes use the internet as long as I want.
Tip well so this deal stays around. There's not better breakfast in the area. -

I work in Dumbo and have been to reBar about 4 or 5 times. It is a nice spot for lunch with friends or coworkers. The food is cheap, the portions are big, and the beer selection is great.
I give it 4 instead of 5 stars because they occasionally have poor quality control. I ordered a Philly cheese steak lunch to go and when I got back to the office I noticed my fries were burned and hard and the top of the bread had burned too. Still tasted good but they should not be serving burned food to paying customers, especially those who work in the neighborhood...
The burger or Philly cheese steak are usually my go to eats when I come to reBar. I have also tried their mac & cheese with chubi bacon. *drools* My goodness, so delicious, but after a while it becomes too intense. Its a nice side to share with friends. -

Review from Ty N.
Bronx, NY

Really liked this place. Went with friends for New Year's Eve. They had a NYE package for $99 which included 6-hours of open bar (9pm-3am), dinner & dessert buffet, and a champagne toast at midnight. Due to unforeseen events, I arrived 15 minutes after midnight; pretty much missing half of the open bar and the champagne toast (yea, I know!!). Funny thing is, I still felt like i got my money's worth. The place was very spacious, leaving the bar virtually empty. In an hour and a half's time, I had to have dranked the entire bottle of Tullamore's Dew (if youre a whiskey drinker and want something with a little more kick than Jameson's, I highly recommend Tullamore's Dew). Bartenders were friendly and attentive. The location of the bar was also a plus, as its in a low-key spot and wasnt mobbed (as im sure Manhattan was). Overall, was a great place that is definitely worth trying out.

I had my wedding at reBar back in August (very late with writing this review, I know), and it was completely, 100% FANTASTIC, from our first interactions with the place to the very end of our reception.
The event coordinator Veronica was extremely kind and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She made it very clear from the get-go that the venue is really an "alternative" space and not for a traditional, sit-down, flowers 'n china wedding (which is not what we wanted anyway, so it worked out great). All questions were answered in a timely fashion and not only Veronica, but the entire staff was so, so kind to us. We had someone bartending during our reception, and she was the sweetest person ever--everyone loved her! The whole event went flawlessly thanks to the staff.
And the food... the food. The food is so very, very delicious. When we had our tasting, there was one dish that we didn't care for very much that was part of the package we wanted to get. They gladly replaced the dish with something else without much hassle. Very cool.
What had also drawn us to the space was the decor--we rented out the smaller lounge, as opposed to the entire space, and we were drawn to the murals and the fact that they had two TVs we could use. Use them we did! (We hooked one TV up with an Atari system and the other was playing Godzilla movies nonstop... Yessss.)
We're so glad we had the wedding here. We had a great time and we think we had the funnest wedding ever! -

reBar is AMAZING!
Went here for the $4 weekday breakfast in a group of four and ordered the seasonal veggies and egg sandwich with tropical green tea and a piece of fruit. The sandwich rocked: large slices of crusty ciabatta bread, fluffy, hot scrambled eggs, steamed spinach, roasted carrots, grilled squash, and red bell pepper. So great. (Other sandwich offers that morning included salmon and tomato, pulled pork and egg, and egg/cheddar.) I really liked the special tea, and the nice waiter, Brandon, even gave us extra bananas. The $16 exact bill for the table (no tax bc we paid in cash) made it easy for both couples to put down a ten and be done with it.
Go here on a morning date, casual brunch with a friend, or just to chill out on your way to work! -

Yes, this place has it
Had dinner here last night with my wife... a bit of a wait but well worth it. Food was as good as it could be, service was excellent and scene just fit. These guys have it.
Good for dinner or drinks with friends and a cool 'indie' movie theatre, if you can call it that... not your average amc. we didn't actually explore the movie entertainment but may be back soon to do so...
We had the popcorn with duck fat and paprika and the regular which was an interesting start... new england clam was creamy delicious with a couple large chunks of potato - so good. i had the wedge salad, which is pretty basic but it was seasoned up with sweet potato shreds that added some flavor. we also had the twice baked potato - big (probably not too healthy, but I don't think that what a 2x baked pot is trying to be, so no prob)
for dinner, my wife had the long island fluke... we were getting pretty full by this point. the fish was prepared perfectly over a bed of rice, nice and flaky, and came with some sort of side we had never seen before.
the waitress described it as a vietnamese version of water cress (i think?) - a little different, looked a bit odd but prettygood
I got the chateaubriand, quite possibly the best cut of meat. juicy, flavorful, tender - so very good.
my only complaint was that the food was a bit too salty. i'd ding a quarter point if i could, but the food was too good to be less than 5 stars
our waitress was perfect - attentive, present but not too present. we had a bottle of malbec, which was a little off-balance but decent
lastly, the scene was what you would expect for dumbo. well put together place, good crowd, very comfortable on a chill night
and the music was awesome... awesome. i think it was the bartender's playlist and i wish i could get a copy, but made it fun - we will be back -

OK, I suspect that this review is skewed by impossible expectations. I have been wanting to go to reBar for YEARS, and for some reason kept missing it every time I made it to NYC. This last trip, I was dammed if I was going to miss it again. I trekked from midtown Manhattan, all the way into DUMBO and found ReBar for some afternoon beers. And the experience was...OK.
I don't know what I expected, some sort of wonderland of gritty urban awesomeness dunked in a rare beer. But this place just didn't quite hit the mark. The beer selection was quite good, though again, not what I had expected. Service was relatively dismissive. Not enough to get me upset, but something that I noticed.
All in all, reBar is just not at all what I expected it to be. It's quite a bit less. It's a fine place I guess, but I feel silly putting it on a pedestal all these years as some sort of beer mecca. I'd go back if I was around, for sure. But I won't be taking that long of a subway ride again just to go back. -

reBar is a fun place and good scene in Dumbo. Also, the indie movie theater in the back, reRun, is a great venue.
Just don't come to reBar expecting good food, which is it's Achilles heel (unfortunately). This is based on trying the food at reBar on four separate occasions.

Have lived in the hood for a few years now. Found Rebar as i was looking at an apt 3 years ago, knew i wanted to live in Dumbo, but sitting at Rebar confirmed that. Can't say enough about this place, one of the best bars in NYC, hands down. Beer, spirits, food, music, decor, SERVICE, all top notch. For me, the place reminds me and makes feel at home.

This place is gorgeous, such a big, beautiful building with art studios in the back too! I am giving it such a high rating simply for the mac and cheese. DIVINE. During happy hour you can get the full sized portion for wicked cheap too. I believe that they make it with smoked gouda and I have turned so many people on to it. Like in all honesty, it will be the best mac of your life.
One star off because I ordered an old fashioned and the bartender didn't put any bitters in it. I asked for her to remake it and instead she just added some to the glass. I wouldn't normally care but it is listed on their drink menu (with bitters) and she should know that when the drink is traditionally made the bitters goes in at the beginning. -

We must have had a bad night. The reviews seemed promising, so we went before the Misterman show at St Ann's Warehouse. The space itself is great, albeit a bit dark. Service was inattentive (although she was very very nice, and apologized a lot). We ordered sweet potato/parsnip fritters -- they were fried so long that there was no evidence of the vegetable anymore. Oh, and they were cold. We had the potato/leek soup which was too creamy/salty (but tasty for one spoonful). Then it was the brisket -- the portion was HUGE, but dry as a bone. Last a twice baked potato that was "ok." We ate less than half of it (felt a bit gross to eat so much fried/heavy food -- bad ordering on our part). Then to top it off, the person I ate with was up all night with terrible indigestion. The wine was good. But I would not recommend it for food unless you were having a snack. Maybe it's better for brunch?

I'm very excited to be having my wedding here. The staff here really seems to care about this place, which makes us even more excited to have chosen reBar.
When we went for our tasting, Bernard (our guide) told us that everything in the place is reconstructed from random things (benches, old metals, furniture, etc). Such a cool space, and Jason the owner really did a great job with creating the atmosphere.
Awesome beer selection. Every food we tried was amazing (most noteworthy was the hangar steak with mashed potatoes and the artichoke dip. I would brush my teeth with it every day if I could).
The fiance and I took my visiting parents here to show the place off and it again was really good. Surprisingly, the fish raviolo plate has turned into one of my favorite dishes ever. From its written description, it's not something I would ever order, but my mom ordered it and I had major food envy after tasting it.
Luckily for me, she only ate half of it and I got home with the leftovers. reBar score for me.
Also, order the desert shooters. The lemon one is pretty much the best thing ever.Listed in: Top Restaurants

Wonderful experience. I live in the area and always wanted to stop by. Went there tonight and the food was great, not over priced and the waitress and other staff super friendly and helpful.
I don't like giving 5 stars but this one was very close to perfect. Only small complaint is the waitress could have checked in with us. Luckily everything was amazing so we never needed her unless we needed a refill or course suggestion.
Overall it was wonderful and I highly suggest trying this out! -

This is a bit of a tough review for me to write.
I used to love this place. Unfortunately some really bad service has left a bad taste in my mouth.
After my wedding I brought a small crew of people here to celebrate with me. The bar service was... not good. I'm willing to chalk that up to the place being busy on a Saturday night (even though it wasn't crazy). At the end if night when I went to close my tab, I realized the bill was much higher than I expected. When I examined it closer, there was about $50+ worth of drinks I didn't order on it. I carefully went through it and put a check mark next to each drink I had (there were plenty) and circled the drinks that weren't mine. When I explained the situation to the bartender, she gave me an attitude, took the bill and brought back the "fixed bill." only it wasn't fixed. She took one drink off. So I redid the notes on the new check and gave it back. Again, it came back only one drink less.
I was pretty frustrated at this point and told her that I'd give her one more chance to fix it (and even told her I'd still leave a tip) but if she was going to keep trying to screw me, I'd be happy to write a big zero on the check and make sure my credit card company declines payment all together in the morning.
To be honest, I don't know how the drinks got on there. Maybe someone overheard my name and started using my tab. Maybe the bartenders started ringing up extra drinks anticipating us being drunk and not caring. Maybe it just a mistake. I do know that no one in my party ordered 6 shots of Jack Daniels (we were drinking beer and Patron and one or two Cosmos). And I do know I was more than happy to pay for the drinks I ordered.
She came back yelling at me and said, "I voided the entire thing because you're being difficult to deal with." I told her that was a fine solution as well, but asked for a receipt as proof. Last thing I wanted was to go home and see a charge on my card for the full bill.
A few moments later while I was trying to round up my crew (people were in the lobby, and bathroom, and all over), the bartender came out crying and SCREAMING at me. Something about how she's been working there for 4 years and no one's ever done that to her. I once again offered to take another look at the bill with her. It was at that point she called me an f'ing a-hole, and stormed off.
Two seconds later, three bouncers very quickly, and aggressively showed me the door. I pleaded with them to just let me grab my wife (who was standing in the corner of the lobby looking the other way), however they wouldn't let me. They didn't rough me up, but they were aggressive about getting me out onto the street. And then continued using obscenities, talking about how "I robbed the bar."
I don't blame the bouncers for doing their job, but I do hold the bartender responsible for everything that happened. My friends all said that they received terrible service from her all night, and I do recall other customers being less than pleased with her attentiveness as well.
Sorry Rebar, I won't be back. At least not until you get rid of that chick. I do hope this serves as a warning to other potential customers. -

This place is calm and relaxing during the day and loud end lively during the night...literally the best of both worlds under one roof.
Strong, eye opening coffee with a place to park your bumm and surf on your notebook at day and at night.....what do you think? Drinks are strong, food is great, crowd is giddy with excitement.

reBar is the bomb!
I've been there a handful of times now and they impress more and more. Their beer selection -- both on-draft and in bottles -- is next to godliness. There's wine too, if that's your thing. Their food is awesome, the menu changes every so often. I would fight someone for their strawberry shortcake or anything mac 'n' cheese related.
My fiancee and I were considering getting married there but our dates weren't available, though the view from the roof of the Brooklyn Bridge for wedding photos is awe-inspiring. Such a great setting, being in an old tea warehouse, and decorated in an unique and ostentatious way.

Fun fabulous and unexpected. I loved the wedding I went to at this place. The staff was hot on it, and the food was delicious. It is an anti-wedding kind of place, so if you can roll that out, have a ball and go to reBar. If you're a stick in the mud, stay home and leave the rest of us alone.

I've been here a couple of times with my laptop in tow to eat, work, and snag a cup of java--their lunch menu is pretty good too and reasonably priced. It's a great location with a laid back vibe, and it doesn't get crowded. And you won't feel overwhelmed by constant chatter or the incessant whirring sounds of blenders mixing up caffeinated concoctions either.
People also rent out the space for events--weddings and such (so, it's a good idea to check their website before coming). But I've never been here for anything other than to catch up on some work and grab some grub. With free Wifi (although I tend to use Fixmo Extend via my BB, I have trust issues), decent coffee, tasty grub, and a bar (of course, for those days when I've received one too many pitch rejections) who can resist the allure of this old factory turned gastropub.
It's an otherwise great location that has a nice appeal to cater to your every whim: lunching with friends, catching up on work, or renting the space for your next event. I love this loft space with its warm, rich tones because I can carve out my own spot and escape, even if it's for just a few hours. -
Review from Yoko O.
New York, NY

I was two beers in when I walked into reBar. Usually this means I'm not as great at remembering/tasting the food. But reBar food is really, really spice-y (with the hyphen because it's made with lots of spices; not as in, hot). If that is your thing, then great. Unfortunately it is not really my thing when the end result of spice-iness means very complex flavor with not a whole lot of depth.
Ordered:
Sweet Potato-parsnip Cakes
Holy portion size. These were huge. If I hadn't split this with my guy I probably could have just eaten this for dinner. It's like a Chipotle-y okonomiyaki, but crunchier on the outside. Not bad, though I think I've realized that I'm not a huge fan of harissa mayonnaise--see note above on complexity lacking depth. I think I would have preferred regular old kewpie mayo. It has celery in it--just thought I'd mention that because I love celery.
The reBurger
Decent burger, though once again not being a fan of the harissa mayo makes it slightly less special for me. Yummy artisan bun. The hand-cut fries are pretty thin and so I would have expected them to be crunchier, but I think they succumbed to the oil more easily because of it.
Fish
I guess the fish is different every day? Today it was monkfish. When it came out though, it was such a weirdly pork-y flavor that we had to ask and make sure we weren't served the pulled pork by accident. Also it was served with this red nonsweet fruit rollup-type thing that puzzled us endlessly until we looked at the menu again and found it was a plate-sized sheet of red pasta (which made sense in retrospect). Very confusing dish, though I suppose that is to be expected when going to a "gastropub."
The service was good. Our waiter was very polite, checked in on us often but not too often, and was knowledgeable enough about the food and the menu. Our water glasses were constantly refilled (by someone else).
For the price (about $20/person), I'd say it's a good place to fall back on.
Also earlier this week I had an iced coffee from the reBar Coffee Box. It was okay. I'm still unhappy about the fact that making a coffee iced makes it so much more expensive ($3). -

So I've now encountered ReBar a few times-and every time has been ever so amazing. A recent addition to the staff must be duely recognized-Vince our bartender on October 6th was a great bartender/server in every sense of the word. Cool Hipster with an appreciable knowledge of wines and beer. He is also very helpful and accommodating. ReBar happy hr is inexpensive the restaurant is huge and the bar is ohhh so comfy. Vince also informed us that there's usually weddings on some weekends so call before you go if you do not live in the area .

reBar has become a solid option for dinner or drinks when I'm in the area. It's slowly becoming a busier bar location, but it remains a good spot to bring a birthday group or to stop by for dinner.
The bacon fat popcorn is not as exciting as you might think. It's the only thing that I can absolutely say bacon probably should never be married to. Yikes!
Otherwise, great place I try to hit up whenever I'm in the area.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I just had my wedding reception here and it was AMAZING. The rebar staff was so incredibly helpful through the entire planning process, from the initial tasting all the way up to the reception. The food was fantastic; we had many compliments on it. We're vegetarian and they had no problem creating fantastic vegan/vegetarian fare for us. Also, because the space is so unique and interesting, we didn't have to do much decorating. Everything was done so well. Also, the space was fantastic. My wife worried that there wouldn't be enough seats, but, alas, we could have had even more peope! (We were at 115).
I think most important is that the staff and Jason made us feel taken care of, so we didn't have to worry about a thing at the reception. I would highly, highly recommend it for a wedding reception! Great food, amazing drinks, awesome people. Thanks rebar! -

I really WANT to like reBar. But I was recently there with a large group, and reBar was a HUGE disappointment. To the point that I felt embarrassed because I was the one who made the restaurant recommendation. And this group of people just wanted beers & a decent meal - not a demanding bunch. What we got was beers and not very good food.
The first strike was that - despite the fact that there was about 13 of us - reBar management wouldn't allow us to sit at one of the large tables in the dining area. It was explained to us that unless EVERYONE was having food, it just wasn't allowed. So because of the ONE person who didn't eat, we all had to squeeze into the bar area and have our meals there. It was loud & it was cramped & it was almost reason enough for us to leave.
Second strike - a few of us ordered the pulled pork sandwich - and the kitchen clearly went vinegar crazy that night. Super-acidic BBQ sauce, plus really sour coleslaw. I only ate mine because I was famished. Others left theirs untouched.
I give the manager credit, though. He knew we were pissed about not being able to sit together in the dining room, so he comped us all free prosecco. No one drank it, but he made the effort. -

My Fiancee and I liked the place so much we decided to book our wedding here!
They've all been super helpful and accommodating.
The decor is fantastic, the food even better, and the beer and wine selections are downright astonishing. -

The rebar is a lovely space with alot of potential. Sorry to say that the food is seriously lacking and the menu is very limited. The descriptions of the food items on the menu do not make the food seem very appetizing. I was so un-impressed that I ended up ordering a salad just to be on the safe side. I also ordered a sweet potato dish as a side that could have been great but was overly spicy and damn near burnt.
They seem more focused on their beer selection than the actual cuisine. The place was also practically empty on the evening when I was there. It's a shame to let such a nice place go to waste. -

If I could give it a 4.5 I would. Wonderful beer list overseen by Bernard, a consummate Beer sommelier who is always quick to figure out your tastes and make necessary suggestions. The atmosphere is one of all inclusiveness, you'll find all types here and that is what I love about this place. The waitstaff is outgoing and has never brought me a wrong order be it from the bar or the kitchen. My sole complaint is the tap list- they could use a little bit of help on this- more American micro breweries instead of the Midsized breweries that are ever present on their list. Overall a great place that I will frequent hopefully for years to come.
