β€œWe had our wedding party here, which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Gina, the owner had excellent communication with us leading up to answer any and all questions quickly. The venue was ready for us when we arrived that night, fully decked out with beautiful decorations and lights they provided, flowers they cut and arranged for us, cake and desserts they displayed, and our own photo booth in the back. They helped provide a thoughtful itinerary and kept the pace of the entire event. Truly could not have imagined it going any better. We already know a few couples thinking of switching from a more traditional to a bar reception after they attended ours. Would highly recommend this venue.”

β€œGreat vibes and good lighting. Seems like a great date spot. Huge backyard with delicious burgers in the back and this place has one of the best pool tables I've played on in Brooklyn. The staff is really kind too ”

β€œVisited this bar recently hoping for a good time, but unfortunately was met with a disappointing experience at the bar. The bartender had a noticeably negative attitude and seemed uninterested in providing any kind of friendly service. Requests were met with curt responses, and even basic questions were brushed off or ignored. Instead of making customers feel welcome, the bartender acted as though serving us was a burden, which set an uncomfortable tone for the whole evening. I understand that bartending can be demanding, but basic courtesy and a friendly demeanor are essential parts of the job. Even during busy times, a bartender's attitude shapes the environment, and in this case, it left us feeling unwelcome and unlikely to return. If management cares about customer experience, they should address this, as guests should never feel dismissed or disrespected by bar staff.”
