I had a great experience at Bar Bruno in Brooklyn. The drinks were super yummy and come in a cool glass. We got maragaritas and I love that you can customize them so much. I got spice in both of mine and one with mango and another with mango and passion fruit. Would come back again just for the margs. The dessert nachos were so good and pretty and such a unique idea for a dessert I loved it. The "chips" are coated with cinnamon and sugar and it comes with ice cream and fruit and chocolate. So fun to eat it too. I got the cheesy potato bites and they were delicious as well. Very flavorful and the sauce was great. Service was okay but could've been a bit better. We asked for no chili in one drink and no bananas in the nachos but they still gave us those things. read more

Me and some friends went to celebrate a promotion and the service was soo poor and slow. The lady on the door was lovely and the food was very good, so bravo to the chefs, but we had to repeatedly ask for our food. It took us 45 mins to order and so wouldn't go back. read more

First time at this spot. There was a kids birthday party happening in the back on a Saturday evening. We were told it would be ending in 15 minutes. We walked around and got coffee. It was still going on when we got back. We sat at the bar and thugged it out. The nachos have kale and some mushrooms. I think they left off the meat, which we did not ask for. I think they need to let people know what is in the nachos. We were confused. They were tasty but definitely not as described. The wings were good. The margarita was fine. Parking is definitely hard in this area. When the kid party cleared out and all the kids weren't running around. It was a chill spot. read more

Nice, casual Mexican spot in the neighborhood. I always thought this spot was too pricey, but was quite surprised by how good the food was. We started off with a Classic Margarita ($15) and Brooklyn Lager ($8). The Margarita was a bit too strong for me, but it came in a cool skull glass cup. I also wish that it wasn't an extra $2 charge for flavor and spice, which seems unfair. For food, we weren't too hungry and got one dish to share. We ordered the Chopped Cheese Wrap ($20), which was essentially a restaurant version of a Crunchwrap supreme. I love crunchwraps and I love chopped cheese, so this combo was perfection. Plus, the crispy fries that it came with were crunchy and flavorful --some of my favorites honestly. Although pricey, the food is good. read more

Should have looked at the reviews that said it's a better place for drinks. Neymar nachos were good for an atypical nacho person like myself. No beans, but some sort of mushroom thing instead? Very tasty. The burger was made well with high quality meat but not necessarily unique to the place. The birria "pizza" was an interesting concept, but having a basically a full quesadilla with cheese inside and out as the base got to be a bit much and too oily altogether. Plus dipping into the consume was cumbersome and essentially only worked when the pizza slice became taco shaped. Also the tables outside were definitely too small to accomodate all the food. Should have either ordered lighter or sat inside. All in all I would come back, but maybe just for drinks or brunch instead. read more

Came here while waiting for our reservation at Lucali, since this spot was just a couple blocks away and we were craving nachos. We ordered both the Neymar Nachos and the Dessert Nachos and both were pretty good. The Neymar Nachos had a nice mix of creaminess and tang, and the meat was pretty tender. The Dessert Nachos were typical cinnamon sugar tortilla chips with ice cream, chocolate sauce, and fruit. The server was nice enough to give us an extra bit of ice cream after we ate the initial scoop but still had tortilla chips left. read more

The place is always busy, good for them... it closed for awhile, but reopened under new ownership. The food is fairly tasty, but the portions are a bit sad, I'm looking at you tiny tacos. The service can be spotty. Our waitperson took our drink order, we went back and forth, she was confirming I wanted no salt on my marg. I literally told her 4 times, no salt. 5 minutes later I get a drink slathered in salt. Okay, I asked for another glass, and the waitress said, "I'm pretty sure you said salt" okay. Then I order another drink. I specify, nicely, definitely no salt. She puts my second drink down, loaded with salt. Is it really that hard? The week before I ordered a burrito which was supposed to come with rice and beans. Oooops, never came. I asked for the rice and beans, the waiter said "no problem" - but I never received them. He had one other table. But they will be fine without me. They have people waiting for tables outside most of the time. BTW, the burrito was very tasty. But I think the waiters must be vaping in the kitchen lol ... the waitstaff is nice, but it's always nice to have your order correct, and definitely not the same mistake made twice. They are always jamming, I wish them more continued success. read more

One of the worst experiences I have ever had. The manager was overwhelmed and decided to take it out on me when I asked for silverware. He repeatedly embarrassed me by loudly saying I was acting like a child in front of my entire work party. I did nothing but politely ask. Then the manager decided it would be a good idea on my way out to slap me on the shoulder and ask me if I needed any help? Terrible attitude and treatment from this place. Please avoid the manager at all costs if you dare dine here! Don't ask for silverware either if you don't want to be dehumanized .... read more

So overpriced I was shocked. Beyond small portions for an insane amount of money. And food was just so/so

Casual Mexican place to grab a drink or some bar food. They have a couple tvs to catch a game.

This an update My friend and I dined at Bar Bruno yesterday and we both agreed that the quality of the food and drinks has declined drastically. We used to love this place but we were disappointed yesterday. Our food lacked seasoning, our drinks were subpar, we ordered guacamole for the table and we received a ton of chips and less than a scoop of guacamole. In addition, our churros were soggy and poorly made. It is unfortunate but we will be trying other places next time we meet. read more

Great place to get drinks, especially if you're waiting for your spot at Lucali, which is across the street. The food wasn't extremely memorable, but I'm open to trying it again! The service is good and it has a cozy ambiance, with comfortable booths and cute decor. The restaurant is a little off the beaten path, on a street that runs parallel to Court Street, although it's still close to the F/G subway line if you don't mind walking a little. There's also a great ice cream spot nearby called Dolce Brooklyn, and there's Brooklyn Pharmacy if you're looking for a milkshake after dinner! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for Sunday afternoon brunch. The place itself is super cozy and the brunch menu is fairly extensive so you should be able to find something that you like. We decided to get: -Fish Tacos (they come with a side of fries) and was delicious. The fish was perfectly crispy and not dry at all. Each order comes with three tacos which was definitely the perfect portion size. The flavors were was chef kisses -Carnitas Tacos (also comes with a side of fries). I did not think that I would like these as much as I did since I am not a huge fan of carnitas most of the time but the flavors were amazing and the meat was very tender and not dry at all. I still preferred the fish tacos but these were pretty good. The pancakes looked amazing when we saw other tabs getting it but there is a small wait for those. Overall - great vibes, the staff was super friendly. I can see myself coming back here in the future! read more

2 stars for the really delicious fish tacos but I actually left without even finishing my (fairly average) drink due to the rude bar man. I was on my own so I sat at the bar and he was rude from the moment I sat down. He was clearly having a bad day (not my fault) but ya know, we all have bad days so I ignored his sour face and the fact he threw the menus in front of me and rolled his eyes when i asked a question about something on the menu. I had my drink, ate the tacos and he asked if i wanted anything else so i asked for the check but i was only half way through drink so clearly wasn't ready to go. But he hovered over me until i paid it. Like i was going to run out the door. I gave him 15% tip because at that stage i was severely sick of his attitude, and he said: "are you sure about that miss?" I assume that he was referring to the fact I didn't give him 20% and I said: yes I am. And he grunted at me and walked away. So I left, without finishing my drink. I just moved to the area and I'll never be back again. read more

Last week I visited Bar Bruno for the second time. While this Mexican Bistro may not serve authentic Mexican Cuisine they sure know how to play with flavors. With each delicious bite, I found myself plotting my next visit. This is the perfect neighborhood spot. And a MUST-VISIT for an after-work cocktail, an impromptu date night or a delightful meal. The ambiance cradles you in its warm embrace and the staff is warm, welcoming and attentive. On our first visits we indulged in a taco trio featuring steak, fish and shrimp--a true palate pleaser. This time around, we explored their dinner menu. We started with GUACAMOLE and PLANTAINS, then moved on to the CHOPPED CHEESE WRAP, BURGER TACOS and QUINOA VEGGIE BURGER. Our dinner ended with the FLAN and DESSERT NACHOS. Guacamole is not my usual pick but the pumpkin seeds made it an adventurous choice and it was flavorful. The Plantains was the perfect harmony of sweet and savory. And could easily become the ultimate side dish instead of a mere appetizer. The Chopped Cheese Wrap was a mouthwatering blend of deliciousness. The pepper jack cheese and abundance of onions makes it a MUST-ORDER. The Quinoa Veggie Burger is a vegetarian delight. It tasted so good I momentarily forgot it was meatless. But the crown jewel of the evening? The Burger Tacos--imagine the perfect burger and a delightful taco with fries having a culinary love affair. And guess what? The fries are in the tacos. Genius. And the dessert? Both the Flan and Dessert Nachos gave our meal a memorable conclusion. While dinner was an absolute delight, I'd gladly return just for the margaritas. These concoctions were perfectly balanced with a burst of flavor and without the excessive sweetness. Passion Fruit and Strawberry were our picks and they left us craving more. The visit to Bar Bruno was nothing short of a wonderful, unforgettable experience and I'm anticipating my next visit with their tantalizing menu. read more

Cozy Mexican food and futbol bar! I adore the sugar skulls wallpaper they have! Big menu including all your typical Mexican dishes, and some other cool items like a chop cheese wrap, and cheeseburger tacos. I went with a Mexican stir fry and added chicken and rice. Piping hot (but not a sizzling skillet), and tasty. My husband got the cheeseburger tacos with Pat LaFrieda meat, cheese, pickles onion, etc and said they were good. They smelled really good!!! I'm gonna try the chop cheese thing next time we go. And we will be going back! read more

Bar Bruno is a neighborhood institution. This is a popular place for dates, meeting friends, lunch breaks, or just to enjoy tasty Mexican-American food. If you make it before 4 PM on a weekday there's a check-in offer for a $5 frozen margarita. That's a deal. The sandwiches are reliable and the tacos are bangin. The wings are also terrific, if the kitchen makes them extra crispy for me. I was less impressed with my salad today; the kale was wilted, though that might have something to do with the current heatwave gripping the city. I won't hold it against them. read more

I remember the day that I discovered Bar Bruno like it was yesterday...Ok, so it was actually last week -lol. Either way, it was truly magical the way that I found Bar Bruno on social media, began salivating at the food + beverage pictures and quickly ordered take-out via delivery.com. Everything looked so good that I only made it to Carroll Park and quickly sat down before devouring the Bar Bruno Fish Tacos and my Margarita. Now, that I got that out of the way. Let me describe my experience at Bar Bruno.... Bar Bruno is a Mexican restaurant located in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn. I ordered my food to be picked-up by 1:30pm which gave me enough time to take the G train to Carroll St. Station and walk the multiple blocks to the establishment. Once I arrived, it was pleasant to see that they have outdoor dining consisting of several tables and plants around the seating areas. Bartender Sabrina kindly greeted me and handed me my to-go order that was on the counter. Scanning the bar area inside caused me to see a cocktail/wine menu near some frozen beverage machines. After inquiring about the various drinks, Sabrina mentioned that Bar Bruno makes frozen margaritas, mezcal drinks, etc. She also explained that flavors can be added to the frozen drinks....Yes to that! Sabrina made me the best Blueberry, Strawberry and Pineapple Frozen Margarita Ever!!! Great Food and Great Drinks! Fast Forward to 7/20 and I decided to have us come here for my birthday dinner. We sat at the outdoor table that is by itself around the corner from the other tables which made me feel comfortable. We ordered Fish Tacos, Carnitas (Pork) Tacos, Tater Tots, Side Orders of Rice + Beans, a Quinoa Veggie Burger, Grilled Zucchini, etc. The tacos and burger were flavorful and Mango Margarita was nice and sweet. I had another Blueberry, Strawberry and Pineapple frozen Margarita like I had the other day and it tasted amazing! Due to the Pandemi/Health Crisis, Bar Bruno will continue to offer outdoor dining as well as the option for patrons to pick-up and take-out their food/beverage orders. Every staffperson wore masks, gloves and our dining food, cocktails and plastic utensils were served in disposable packaging like cartons, plastic, etc which was much appreciated to promote cleanliness. Thanks to all of the hardworking individuals at Bar Bruno for giving me a nice to-go order and a lovely birthday outdoor dining experience! read more

Bar Bruno is an excellent neighborhood restaurant and bar. Located at the corner of Henry & Union Streets in Carroll Gardens, it seems always busy. Still a table seems to always be found. Only a block from my family's home, it is a regular spot for us to eat. Enter to a busy bar area. Tables are in the bar area or further back, away from the noise. Sidewalk tables are available for warmer times. The decor is modern and clean. The music was nice. I heard songs from my generation, which is a definite plus. Mexican with additions of American can be found on the menu. The food is excellent, both well prepared and presented. My favorite is the Bruno Burrito, which has just the right mix of rice, beans & tomato. Addition choices are available. My pick is always carnitas. It makes for the perfect burrito. The side salad that comes with the burrito is yummy. My grandson loves the Skirt Steak with fries and veggies grilled on a skewer. They also have Vegan options, which appeal to my son. For dinner or drinks in the neighborhood, it's hard to beat Bar Bruno. read more

Came here recently and it just wasn't the same that I remember. It's the first time i've dined here since the pandemic (i did drinks to-go kind of often at the beginning of the pandemic), and ate here before, and it just seemed different. We started with two classic margarita's and they were okay, not amazing, not terrible. I do miss the old happy hour deal on them, which understandably now, they do not do. For appetizer we got the Bruno Sliders and the Neymar Nachos. The sliders were just okay, they needed some seasoning, and the buns were soggy, wasn't a great presentation. The Neymar Nachos on the other hand, were quite good. Nice amount of toppings, the only real critique here is that the ground beef needed seasoning, otherwise this was a nice appetizer. For meal, we ordered a mix of things and shared, and nothing really stood out. We found everything underwhelming. Barring this is not for this last visit, but during the nicer weather, it's a nice place to sit outside and have a drink. read more

Tried them for take out, this was not a sit down meal. The food is good, the staff was very mice. I hope to come back and have a sit down meal in the future so I can provide more information. The one good thing is if you want delivery you don't have to use Seamless or Grubhub so you can speak to a person. Many of the other restaurants in the area are very impersonal when it comes to delivery or take out. I would recommend Bar Bruno. read more

Grabbed dinner here with an old friend around 5:30pm on a Friday night and the outdoor seating area already looked packed! Despite that, the waiter was able to seat us right away. They used plants to help social distance the tables, which also made it seem like we were in our own world. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and my friend ordered the battered fish tacos. We also ordered shishito peppers to share. I got a strawberry juice (didn't know that was a thing) and my friend ordered a mango margarita. I didn't see any happy hour specials as an FYI. The waiter that served our food wore a mask and gloves which I appreciated. My shrimps tacos were well seasoned and cole slaw and mango salsa elevated the flavors. I tried the fish taco but unfortunately it was lacking in taste. The shishito peppers were pretty good but a bit oily in my opinion. My strawberry juice was good but it wasn't anything special. My friend said her margarita was strong It started to rain and the little awning didn't help cover both of us, but I scooted in. It was nice watching the rain and catching up. Overall, my food was pretty good and the prices were decent ($14 for 3 tacos)! I enjoyed my visit here and would recommend the shrimp tacos if you go! (: read more

We ordered their 3 fish tacos made with Battered Mahi, Pico de Gallo, Radish, and Chipotle Avocado Tomatillo. The fish was light, tasty, crunchy, and well-seasoned. The Radish gave more crunch to it, the chipotle gave that nice spicy kick to it. Overall, Will come back again! Also for their nachos and guac! read more

Would give 4.5 stars if I could. This has become a staple in my diet lol I come here at least 1-2 times a week. We always order the kale dip which is SO GOOD. I love their chicken burrito and their margaritas are some of the best I've ever had. I always get blood orange and it's just so tasty. Their smoked wings are amazing also but a little too spicy for me. I usually get the burger but there definitely is inconsistently in how it is cooked/prepared. Sometimes I've ordered it and the cheese isn't even melted at all. Other times I'll order it medium rare and it comes out well done. Their prices are a little high in my opinion but clearly that doesn't stop me from coming here every week lol. The staff and owner are amazing and I love being able to walk right over, grab a table and my drink is pretty much waiting for me LOL. Definitely a neighborhood favorite for me. read more

Bar Bruno is a fun, festive, casual Mexican eatery. The bar serves high-quality drinks, the food was spot-on, and our waitress was incredibly friendly. What's not to like? We started out with an order of the Guacamole. Really solid dish with unique ingredients (pumpkin seed) and spices (unknown) vs. the traditional overpowering flavor of lime, jalapeno, and sea salt (get's boring after a while, folks). The homemade chips were delicious, thick, and extra-crunchy. Next up, we split an order of the Fish and Shrimp Taco's (three per order). The portion sizes were impressive and the seafood was perfectly cooked. We opted for a side of french fries (yum) and rice. The rice was ridiculously fluffy, with crunchy bits reminiscent of socarrat mixed in. An all-around great dining experience. Plus, Bar Bruno serves Pacifico on tap! Which is kind of cool, since I've never seen this on the East Coast. read more

We stopped by for cocktails, and one appetizer. Nice location. Mixed drinks were tasty and a pleasant bartender....

Went to Bar Bruno on August 8th with a friend after an intense day of shopping at IKEA. Had to wait about 30 minutes to get an outside seat due to COVID restrictions. Once seated, my friend and I ordered. We couldn't decide on drinks so we got to taste their cucumber based frozen drink. Even though it was very refreshing, we decided to go with more fruit based margaritas instead. We also shared some wings, which were really good. My lunch was corn and chicken quesadillas. Both were really good and tasty. Had some quesadillas to go home with and eat later. Staff were friendly and very helpful. read more
