773 Lounge

As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks

There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends.

Dear Management, I am writing to express my concerns regarding my recent experiences with the Smoke House menu at 773 Lounge. As a patron who values good food and fair service, I was disappointed by the inconsistency in pricing and the lack of transparency from your staff during my visits. My first experience with your Smoke House menu was on January 26, 2025. I ordered two Smoked Brisket Platters for pickup, which were priced at $20.78 each, bringing the total to $45.25. The bartender, Arber, kindly provided an extra side of small BBQ sauce (approximately 80 grams) at no charge, which was reasonable and appreciated. However, during my second visit on February 23, 2025, I placed the exact same order. This time, the price for each Smoked Brisket Platter was $22.83, making the total $51.79. Additionally, when I asked for extra sauce, Whitney charged me $2.08 for a large BBQ sauce (approximately 180 grams) without informing me of the extra charge at the time of the request. This unexpected charge was not appreciated, especially given that I did not require such a large portion. My concerns stem from the following: Menu Discrepancy - The last posted Smoke House menu on your Instagram (dated December 1, 2024) lists the Smoked Brisket Platter at $19.95. If there has been a price increase, the outdated menu should not remain visible on your social media. Lack of Transparency - Customers should be informed of any additional charges before being charged, particularly for something as minor as extra sauce. Customer Service - When I picked up my order on February 23, Whitney appeared impatient and rushed me to pay before I had the chance to review an itemized receipt. Given my expectation that each brisket platter was $19.95, I was right to ask for clarification. Additionally, her demeanor made it clear that she expected a tip for a pickup order, and when I did not leave one, her visible annoyance was unwarranted. To be clear, my issue is not with the food itself--it was enjoyable. My issue is with the inconsistency in pricing and the way staff handle customer interactions. Transparency is key in maintaining trust with your patrons, and I hope you will take steps to address these concerns. I look forward to your response and appreciate your attention to this matter. Sincerely, :( read more

773 is a bar without an identity or taste, banking on slightly above the bottom-of-the-barrel aesthetic and in the Brooklyn desert to carry its overpriced (even for the local hipster variants) beer selection. Owing its existence largely to being a nest for dart-ists, the neighborhood bros looking for a refuge and those looking for a watering hole. The sneering hipsters are replaced by dodgy looking black-gloved food bros on one side and a presumptuous man-bun wielding bartenders asserting bar-counter dominance on the other. A sterile pseudo-corporate Frankenstein of gentrification masquerading as a neighborhood "sports bar" without the neighborhood bar authenticity or charm, owing its entire existence to the dearth of options in the area. At least overpriced avocado-toast-peddlers had some sort of craft, or aspiration, however primitive to back up their pretensions, this easily triggered newsy-cap-wearing Andrew Tate equivalent sniffing his farts behind the bar counter excuse for a bartender thinking the decor and air of unearned superiority constitutes service is just pathetic. A minor misunderstanding which could have been resolved with a conversation (admittedly threw their darts hard intermittently during warm up) ended w said bartender accusing of me lying (since he said he kept an eye on me the whole time) after which any attempt at conversation was impossible, fast forward to complaining about "Jews" always giving him a hard time before pouring out my barely touched drink. Classless thieving behavior if we're being honest, which, in retrospect seems on-brand given their prices. Highly recommended if you want to observe a homo brocus troop in the wild or if you're a fan of casually antisemitic darts-obsessed bozos masquerading as bartenders. The vibe here lands somewhere between CashMe Outside and how about dat - the latter dawning on you when you realize you just paid $9 for a Guinness in the middle of nowhere Brooklyn. read more

Went back to 773 this weekend because I heard the kitchen opened, im not from ditmas park but I do have a few friends In the area I visit from time to time. This is the best bar in the neighborhood, it has everything you need, great beer and liquor selection, sports , music and some of the best bar food I've ever had. The food is all prepared fresh, nothing frozen at all and you can tell, everything was amazing from start to finish. Brussel sprouts with candied almonds, the wings are amazing the honey bbq sauce was top notch and the Coogans pot of gold looked like a work of art and tasted better. The raw oysters look great also will be back to have some of those on a hot day with some cold beer. All in all a great experience in a local bar in ditmas park. side note: people were extremely friendly for a local bar in brooklyn read more

If you want water, there's a giant jug of it on the counter. Help yourself to some plastic cups. Super loud ambiance, due to bar TVs and people talking really loudly. In such open space, sound carries. Prepare to talk really loudly and strain to hear your conversation partners. The background music was nice--all the classy rock, pop, and modern hits bringing you nostalgia from the better days. A few outdoor tables available, if you'd like to people watch in good weather. Service is fast, staff are very efficient. We got $20 ribs special and $18 chicken sandwich panini. I was surprised that both were decent. Fries were not too salty nor greasy and not heavy at all (surprise). Ribs were tender and fell off the bone easily. They were served in sweet BBQ sauce. Instead of fries, I got salad--which was just a few lettuce leaves from a pre sold supermarket salad bag, so be warned. Chicken panini sandwich was the unanticipated standout of our meal--massive chicken breasts that were tender and well grilled were nestled between tasty toppings.
