Cool atmosphere and good happy hour prices! Not a lot of seating but that didn't really bother me. Servers were pretty attentive, too. I didn't try any of the food, but I'd definitely come back! Edit: I've been informed that there's more space in the back. Glad to hear it! I look forward to my next visit :) read more

We've been coming during covid. Noticed one day thay they serve food. We thought it was just a biker bar. Boy we're we pleasantly wrong. You order food at the bar and grab it from the kitchen. The food is surprisingly good. This isn't your typical bar food wings and nachos. They have this sweet and tangy guochang wings. The wings have some good meat to it. Their chicken yakitori skewers comes with a black sesame dipping sauce. Pairs well with a cold beer. The crab lagoon and burger will always be a crowd pleaser. Their cocktails and drinks are great! Doesn't matter which bartender, they maintain the same standard. We opt to go early as they get pretty packed on the weeekend/ evenings. They have pool in the bar room. This is surprisingly a big space and ghe crowd is always vibes. read more

Love their wings and dumplings, even though they take a bit long but it's all worth the wait. It gets pretti pack at night with great atmosphere and music. Drinks are 10/10/ read more

Abe's Pagoda Bar - Bar - Tiki Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great chill bar. As far as tiki bars go in NYC this has been on of my favorites on the chill side. Cocktails are delicious and there are some unique twists on classics. The bar itself has traditional tiki elements but is more relaxed. The playlist was great and service was quick at the bar. Pool table is in the back. I wish I lived a bit closer to this place because I would be here all of the time. It's a great combination of quality and chill enough vibes where you can still have a conversation with friends and not be overwhelmed by having to get on a reservation list. read more

I went here for the vibes specifically. It is very cozy especially during cold weather. The servers are very quick. The chicken sandwich is surprisingly amazing. read more

I got food poisoning from the chicken wings!!!!!they tasted good when I ate them but they tasted really bad coming up. I am still recovering after 5 days. read more

I wish it was cleaner when we got in. Tables were sticky from the night before and there was an unpleasant stench, perhaps because we were by the bathrooms. The floor itself, especially in the bathroom, is really sticky, which made the whole experience unpleasant. The wings are decent. I wouldn't pay full price for them, but would do the Happy Hour deal. I appreciate they have Happy Hour everyday, even on the weekends. Frozen margarita for Happy Hour was decent, but wish it were bigger and there were more options for Happy Hour, especially for a Tiki Bar. read more

Relatively low prices as far as NYC bars are concerned, so that is always a plus. The somewhat spacious, stylish (in a glam rock way, not a society way) bar fills up with people on weekend nights especially, but their happy hour deals are worth trying. The food is consistently decent. I've had their fried chicken sandwich several times and just tried the Yakitori Momo (grilled chicken skewers), priced at $10, last night. Is it a lot of food? No, it's more of a snack, but it was good and paired well with the sweet chili sauce they served alongside it. The menu is varied enough that I would think it includes something for most people. They have pool tables in the back as well as more seating. It's always rather dark, which is comfortable. DJs man the helm regularly, and it's a bit loud, but you can still attempt conversation. Overall, I think Abe's is one of the better hangouts in Brooklyn, and, as it's kitty-corner from the L train at Dekalb, it's not hard to find. read more

Abe's Pagoda Bar - Yakitori Momo - Tiki Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Well concocted cocktails in typical Brooklyn bar. Price per cocktail was fair ($16) and fairly sweet and easily drinkable. Got the Lychee Marina and Blue Hawaii. Personally enjoyed the lychee marina cocktail but it was present in a different glass than marketing on the menu (which was a bit of a letdown). Three small rooms divided with a small hallway in between the entrance/bar, DJ area/booths, and pool area/booths. The booths by pool tables ($2 a play) were poorly laid out - be mindful that the space is narrow and if you will bump into whomever is playing. My experience docked because of the reason above. Otherwise, cocktails were good and the space was chill - I would say it's a ~4 star bar in the area. read more

My friends and I came here on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy, but the bar is fairly large and there was room on the dance floor! The DJ was good; he mostly played remixes of 80s - 00s hits. Fun place to get a drink and dance; I'd definitely come back. read more

The best food & vibes!!! Who doesn't love a good tiki bar? I was not expecting the food to be the highlight at a tiki bar in bk! We got the fried chicken with grilled pineapple, Jasmin rice and Hawaiian style macaroni salad and it was delicious. We also got the crab Rangoon's which were home made and one of the best I've ever had in my life. The drinks were good, not my favorite combos but they were very pretty and enjoyable. The vibe was dark and lots of tables to sit at or they have a nice bar right when you walk in. It's self serve service, you go up to the bar to order and pick up your food at the window but I kind of love how casual it is, makes it feel more comfy overall you will not be disappointed with this experience! read more

Solid retro aesthetic. Decent drinks in a dark, moody spot. Loved our bartender. Great stop in our night out.

Perfect spot for a late night bite and drink. Came after an event near by. This spot is located in a busy street so I was glad to get to a place where we could sit down and eat (outside of the multiple food trucks parked near by). The wings were great, super flavorful. We also got the loaded tots with mushrooms, happy to see they have veg options as well and even salad. There is seating up front, in the back and outside so tons of options. Even tho it was pretty busy was still easily able to order at the bar and get served pretty quick. Their drinks were pretty good as well, had to go for their passion fruit drink and honestly did not regret it. read more

Amazing ambiance, decor and music. This place is perfect for any date night or hang out. There are 2 pool tables in the back and plenty of seating. I sat at the bar and had amazing service from the waiter. Don't remember the name but bald headed dude. The food was amazing, I had the Sambal Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich and Elote Egg Rolls. The Chicken sandwich was amazing soft bread and crispy breading. Felt like i was eating a Chicken Big Mac with better everything. Not spicy for those that can handle heat. I really enjoyed the Elote Eggroll. Crispy and hot, packed with corn and cheese. Also to note, there are many vegetarian options on the menu. Some sandwiches give you the option to substitute with crispy cauliflower. I would come here again! read more

Came here tonight Sunday 10/29 around 5:30pm. They were short staffed with one person working the bar and one in the kitchen. Nobody greeted me or mentioned I had to order at the bar- the two other times I've been they had table service. Other than that, things were just as I remember, cheap, tasty food and strong drinks. The frozen espresso martini was just okay, I didn't personally love it. My friend and I sat in a booth in the back. Love the ambiance here. Being short staffed, they only had tater tots, cheeseburgers, and fries available. The burger and fries were good. More mezcal/tequila drinks would be great. I really enjoy this place and it was so nice to come back after not going for ages. read more

Unexpected stop at Abe's for a quick drink before Brooklan. Very cool laid back vibe. So when you sit in a seat like the one I took a picture of below no one comes up to you. That's the only downside to service. You'd have to go up to the bar and order. Drinks were pretty good for happy hour. The food was even better! Buffalo wings were sooo tasty and HUGE, which is so worth it. The chicken sandwich was also very good. I will say that salad blows all of it out the water! Not only was it all so fresh, it was huge! I just never expected Sugar Snap Pea, Edamame, Red Watercress, Pea Tendrils, Horseradish, Black Sesame, & Yuzu Kosho Ranch to be such a mind blowing combo! 10/10 recommend! read more

Cheap/Fairly priced beers but surprisingly good wings. Saw a good crowd on a Sunday which is a plus. Good hangout bar. Kitchen open until midnight. read more

This place doesn't quite qualify as a tiki bar--it's more of a dive bar. It's consistently overcrowded, the cocktails leave much to be desired, and the sticky floors add to the less-than-ideal atmosphere. I've been here a few times and usually stick to straight whiskey, hard seltzer, or beer. I can't speak to the food, as I've never tried it. Be prepared to wait a while to catch the bartender's attention and place your drink order. read more

If you find yourself in Bushwick and are looking for a cool bar, hip vibes, and a good time, I highly suggest Abe's! From the outside, it looks like a bit of a sketchy dive bar, but from the inside, it is it's own little slice of tropical bar paradise. With dim lights, comfy (and dare I say sexy) lounge seating, L-shaped bar, two near regulation size pool tables, great food and reasonable prices, this is the perfect spot for a date or to catch up with friends. Food: - Had the fried chicken sandwich (has a great crunch and quite tasty) - Fries (thin but warm and crispy, addicting) Drinks: - Margarita (awesome presentation, delicious) - Cours Banquet (comes super cold, right in the bottle) read more

I love it here. The drinks are so good, on the sweeter side but very good. Get the buffalo wings. Thank you I had fun

The sambal wings are some of the best wings I've had in my life. The passion fruit frozen marg is strong and overall, this is a fab local bar read more

First time here was unintentional, March 2022? Had birthday plans elsewhere but that place was eerily empty, so we spontaneously came here instead. Loved the billiards, the open back area for a group of friends, affordable prices. Saw the vegan options and knew we had to come back; our friends ordered the Gochujang wings and they smelled too good to not want to try the vegan cauliflower. Summer 2022 we came back for the wings... they're $6 during HH, so we ordered the real wings and the cauliflower. HOLY HELL. So damn good. Two years later, and these are still my guilty cravings, even though there's nothing guilty about them. They updated their menu to $1 HH wings, and the cauliflower are always abundant. They added sweet thai chili and can't wait to try those. We also come for the most affordable frozens in BK - they used to be $8 on HH but now they're $10, still a good deal and strong. They tend to change the flavors up, every month or so, and love that they're always vegan. Most recently they were pina Colada, lychee rosé and passionfeuit marg. Our favorite was a pistachio frozen and wow. That was a boozy milkshake heaven. They also have $3 HH tecates and $8 beer/shot combos. Both are crowd pleasers. We've also heard great things about their regular menu (elote eggrolls are high on our list) and with the various vegan options, I'm a happy camper. Circling back - I need to talk more about their cauliflower wings. As a longtime veg eater, I've had so many fried cauliflower wings, most being buffalo. But these. Whoa. These BY FAR have the best breading, and it doesn't fall off. It holds the sauce, and doesn't fall apart when you use a fork. The cauliflower is still crisp too - not overly "steamed" to where it's mush. I've (half) joked I want a kitchen job here just to learn the recipe. Best fried cauliflower in all BK. For vegans/vegetarians, come just for these. read more

Precursor: I don't like dive bars. ... but Abe's didn't give off the same vibes as all the others. There's some tiki themed decor, so a bit of that feeling - but not overwhelming. The bar had a cool deep red light coming from behind the alcohol bottles which was definitely cool. Good variety of beers on tap. The back room has a decent amount of space if you're in a medium group. And yes, the other reviews are right - their fries were just like McDonalds fries. I would go back to Abe's fosho read more

Good vibes, food was delicious, loved their chicken sandwich, and the drinks were delicious too. Pool tables in the back, lots of booth seats, and friendly bartenders. Like our bartender this night.

I've been ordering their vegetarian sticky wings for some time now, and every time it's delicious. Honestly, my fav vegetarian wings in NYC. Dumplings were not as great, but when I tried the "mushroom mapo chili cheese tots", I couldn't believe the flavor and texture of the mushrooms. I thought it was meat. Really well done. read more

Bored and deserving a nice drink after a long, hard week, with the help of Yelp reviews, Abe's was it! I arrived at the end of happy hour (literally at 7PM), but was able to order a froze at the happy hour price! The place was full, but not overcrowded and I got a nice seat at the end of the looooonnngg bar. Abe's is spacious and has comfortable looking booths throughout. I didn't get to the back room, but it appeared to be even more spacious. The crowd was a good mix of people and everyone seemed to be in good spirits (pun intended). I ordered elote egg rolls and gochujang chicken wings. The wings were heavily garnished with seaweed, which I didn't mind, even though I desperately needed to floss lol. Nevertheless, the food was magnificent, flavorful and crave-worthy. I ordered the first froze for me and the week gone by. The second froze went great with my meal. I actually finished my drink, but not my food. I got a take away box and ordered crab wontons to go. I ate the wontons the following day and can honestly say that they were the best I've had to date. They weren't greasy, but they were crispy, light and had spicy/sweet dipping sauce that made them even more special. I will return, but earlier and with my drinking buddy. I need to try the Painkiller and other menu items. read more

I visited Abe's on a Friday for their happy hour and was really impressed! I got the burger ($8!) and a can of Estrella Jalisco ($2!). The burger was a smash burger, with cheese, lettuce and pickles. Just a really solid burger and the buns were soft. We also ordered fries, which were similar to McDonalds fries in a good way. Can't speak to the service, but I really liked the ambiance. Tiki bar vibe, and they really stick to the theme. Highly recommend Abe's for happy hour! read more

Awesome tropical bar with great food! Needed a spot before a show at Elsewhere and Abe's is nearby. My boyfriend and I walked in at around 6:30 PM on a Saturday and grabbed bar seats. I tried: + Zombie + Jungle bird + Bambu chute + Oxacan penicillin + Elote egg roll + Abe's house salad + Private island cheeseburger + Fries My favorite cocktail was the Bambu chute, while the best food items were the fries and, unexpectedly, the salad. They have a good happy hour as well. Definitely will be back! read more

Everything I had here was delicious and they have a great happy hour deal! The wings were good and flavorful, the fries were seasoned perfectly and the frozen drinks were strong but still tasty. The cocktails are a bit expensive ($15) but the happy hour deal from 5-7 is great. You have to go up to the bar to order for food and drinks, the bartenders don't come to your table. You'll have to pick up your food too from a window. The inside is very dark with red lighting but it's definitely a more chill vibe and they have incense going. read more

Abe's Pagoda Bar - Frose - Tiki Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Part pub, part Asian hideaway, divey-ish, & with a cosy area in back with a pool table. IDs & bags checked at the door. It's almost like two bars in one with a large bar and surrounding seating area in front, with an open back area that's great to chill and hang out with friends. It has Tiki bar vibes with the layout design, wall paper & plants, with warm red lighting. The crowd is eclectic (look at that dope word, add that to your vernacular...& add vernacular while you're at it). For real, you'll see a little bit of everyone here. Crowded but not overly packed with definite energy in the bar. NOTE: All orders must be made at the bar, & you can pick up when alerted by the number they provide you. The frozen margarita is decent, and we ordered the egg roll and wings. Egg roll is EXCELLENT & unlike any I've ever had. HIGHLY recommended. I didn't get a chance to try the wings immediately since I was whipping ass in pool, but as I looked around I saw some being devoured. *EDIT: FINALLY got to try a wing. Buffalo. Lightly sauced with small pepper slices and crumbled blue cheese, & they are well made & delicious. You should try them too. The vibe is very relaxed and most importantly FUN on a Friday night. The pool table is a very cool feature. Really enjoyed the time, think you will too, & will be back. read more

Abe's Pagoda Bar - Crispy Cauliflower is amazing! - Tiki Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm starting to lose faith in yelp reviews. Y'all hype up restaurants / bars that's consistently don't give what y'all said it was going to give! Chicken sandwich - 3/5 I'd eat it again. Not bad. Wasn't as amazing as you all suggested. Egg rolls - 2/5 pretty presentation but lacked flavor. Where is the salt!? The flavor profiles didn't come together well for me. Frozé- 4/5 good flavor and strong. I had ONE and thought I had gotten roofied. I'd come back for a drink. $8 happy hour frozen drinks. Good deal for insanely expensive NY. read more

We decided to grab drinks here on a weekday after many, many mentions about how much of a vibe this spot was. Located in Bushwick (close to a station I may add) Abe's Pagoda is definitely a vibe. Ambient red lighting, a big bar, and enough seating in the front and the back to go with a group this spot seems to check all the boxes for a laid back bar. It also boasts a kitchen that makes a variety of dishes. For this trip we tried the fries and their glazed cauliflower. Five stars all around. Drinks were reasonably priced and staff were very attentive. Come here for a laid night back with friends or that special someone. read more

Loved everything about this place, really. I thought it would be primarily a bar with some okay food, but man was I wrong. The food was absolutely the highlight. We got two orders of fries (which are a la carte, not included with entrees), a cheeseburger, chicken sandwich, and the elote eggrolls. My boyfriend really liked his cheeseburger, but my chicken sandwich was way superior. It was packed full of flavor and insanely crispy. I would definitely order this thing again and think of it often. The fries were a little spicy and got almost too spicy after continuing to eat more of them. The fry on them was great though. The true food star were the elote eggrolls. This is a must-try item if you go to Abe's. They are incredible. So cheesy and flavorful. Highly recommend. As for drinks, we had the Painkiller and the Bambu Chute. The latter was tangy and delicious but mostly ice. My boyfriend drank half of it in two sips before he realized. The Painkiller was okay, but it needed some sweetness to elevate the drink. Without that, it tasted too watery, which is probably another ice problem. As it was a weekday before 7, there was a happy hour crowd that quickly filtered out after HH was over. So between 7:30-8:30 it was pretty empty. What I didn't realize until we went to the bathrooms was that there are pool tables in the back. The vibe is less tiki more sports bar instead. I will definitely be back for those elote eggrolls. read more

My friends and I visited this bar before the Nutcracker Rouge show a few blocks down. We chose it for its tiki theme and happy hour specials. Upon arriving, the bar area was relatively empty. Getting a drink was easy and the service was friendly. I got a Mai Tai and my friends got a frozen drink and a wine. The Mai Tai was the weirdest tasting adaptation of a Mai Tai I've ever had in my life (tasted like rum + lime juice + soda water + no sweetener). I had my friends try it too, just to make sure it wasn't my taste buds that were failing me. I mentioned this to the bartender and she said it was a new mix and she would be happy to add some simple syrup or get me a different drink. We were able to dress it up to make the drink, well, drinkable. My next round I tried one of the frozen cocktails. It was definitely a step up from the Mai Tai. The portion size was large and it was one of the more tastier frozen bevs I've had before. We also ordered an assortment of food. We were sad to learn that a lot of the items that piqued our interest on the menu online were not available. They recently swapped over to a new menu and the website hasn't been updated yet. :( We tried the hot dogs, the tots, the mac salad and the chicken sandwich. The food was great. Very filling and unique. Some of the better bar food I've had in a while. My only complaint is that the tots and hot dogs were sauce heavy. Very saucy. All and all, we had a quite enjoyable time here. There's tons of seating available. A pretty cool space in the back with pool tables and more booth seating. The staff was really friendly and accommodating and the food hit the spot. Great happy hour to boot! Oh, and they have a killer playlist. read more
