What's wild is if you go back to that same list now, most of those places are gone..but this one's still here, still doing its thing. And it's not just surviving off novelty either. It actually feels like Brooklyn. very Bushwick, very laid-back but still a little chaotic in the best way. It can get pretty packed, so don't expect a ton of space, but honestly that doesn't take away from the experience. It's always a good time, and the drinks never miss. If you're looking for a unique but low-pressure spot for a casual date or just somewhere to talk shit with a friend..this is a solid pick. They've got board games, but the real highlight for me? The adult coloring pages lol. Also, don't get offended by the subtle insults around the bar like saying "do math to figure out the tip"... lol I promise it's not that deep.

Walked into Black Rabbit on a Saturday night around 8pm to grab cocktails ahead of meeting friends…read moreout later in the evening. The cocktail menu included a selection of martinis, including a pickle martini which I knew I had to get and happy I did so as it was perfectly made. The ambiance was dark and mysterious with various black rabbit themed decorations of art and taxidermy lining the rustic and wooden walls. The bartender was very friendly and service was quick and smooth. The pickle martini itself was delicious and I could've ordered several if I wasn't pacing myself for a longer night ahead. The bar food menu included a selection of cheeses as well as mini burgers which I personally opted for and exceeded my expectations. After the martini and grub we opted for a couple of their draft beers which were also a great choice. By the time we were leaving, the bar was full and there was a lively birthday party being hosted in the back. I'd recommend black rabbit for any type of evening you're looking to have.

Understated would be the best descriptor for this bar known for their PBR's and cheap beer+shot combos. In fact this has been the site of many film sets, chosen for its non regionally specific qualities because from the outside and inside it really does feel like it can be as much a bar located in a town many states over as one right here in Brooklyn, a little out of place among the new buildings and new age cocktail bars that populate the Greenpoint. It isn't just one demographic that you'll find filling most of the seats here either. Different age groups, personalities and backgrounds will find themselves here, much like the makeup of the surrounding neighborhood. A great equalizer of a bar, which is part of the draw. That you can have a raucous conversation with folks you may not otherwise find yourselves rubbing elbows with.

It's just not fun, and the thought of it being any sort of "social club" (See: previous name, categorization on Yelp) is complete hogwash. I mean, they do beer/shot combos for cheap. That's cool I guess, but I had quickly learned it's what half the dives are adhering to. I don't care if their draught selection is sparse, what gets me is how tiny the pours are. I do not think it was even a full 12 oz in my little mug. Maybe 10. Can someone measure this out for me? Goodness gracious I don't like paying pint prices to get just over half a pint. Liquor selection blows. It's cash only, which you'd only know from a very small, inconspicuous sign above the register. And to make matters worse, their ATM was down! And they were completely unaware. Goodness gracious, I'd never come back here.
