Amy Lease: Cool little bar for a special occasion celebration! Great staff!
Cole Kennedy: Small space with a cool vibe. Leave your inhibitions at home and order a tropical cocktail. Or, ask the bartender to make you a proper Aviation, with gin and crème de violette.
Emily Yeager: Delicious cocktails - try the piña colada! Get there early for a spot outside.

Emily Wilson: This place puts a modern spin on the local Irish pub. Friendly bartenders, a solid tap list, and a warm vibe. One of Clinton Hill's hidden gems.

Music Venue · Boerum Hill · 18 tips and reviews
Adi Dahiya: Amazing sound system, beautiful architecture, and tasteful programming. Drinks are a little pricey but it’s worth making the trip outside of BK’s usual locus of club music to visit this place.
Dave Pinter: Arguably the best listening room sound system in NYC defeated by improperly mounted door hinges. Once you notice the squeaks, you can’t un-hear them. Still a pretty awesome place.
Sheyla De los Santos: Delicious food, great service and live music. Highly recommend for any occasion!
