Good drinks. Great service. Really delicious shishito peppers!!!

Great local place! Delicious and fresh. Great guac, we loved the kale dip and chips, and amazing shrimp tacos. The frozen margaritas are awesome! And the staff couldn't have been friendlier!! read more

If you want a really bad Breakfast for one at $19, not including tip, then this is the place. Total Ripoff!!!

We watch a soccer game food was amazing the waiter was very attentive (hector ) we had a problem with the bill we went back and Nadine resolve the problem right away this place feels like home great staff read more

I just want to say I always have a lovely experience with Bar Bruno whether I dine in or order takeout. That said, the takeout service is wonderful and (Pedro) always greets me with a smile on his face. When you see someone enough (i order from here a lot!) it makes a big difference. read more

Pro Tip - If you're not sure what beers are poured from each tap, label them. Maybe not as cool, but better than serving the wrong beer.

Seems to have gone downhill lately. I live 5 blocks away and it took an hour and a half to deliver me a $20 cold burger.

I would leave a negative star if I could. Everything was disgusting, even the place smelled like cigarettes and was dark and dingy. We had warm tap water to drink and stale chips to eat after waiting over 10 minutes to get them. The tomatillo soup was cold boxed tomato soup with chunks of unripe avocado. The tacos were loaded with everything but steak or fish that we ordered. We paid and left food, we couldn't eat it and wasted our money for expensive disgusting food. Don't waste your time or money on this hole. I wish I had pictures to show you, but we left promptly. read more

The food is quite good, but the service is just bizarre. Have been twice, once opening weekend, and once 5 weeks later, and both times, had to wait forever for weird things, waiters seemed totally confused, etc. Really enjoyed the burger and chicken sandwich though, and the fries are great. I will caution that the salads are oddly small for the price. Also, they are awfully proud of their beers--$8 for a Lagunitas in a bottle? No thanks. Overall, this place has lots of potential, but they need to get their service straight and bring down those drink prices if they want anyone to order them. read more

I agree with Joshua B. I felt tricked by the cute cozy ambience into paying way too much for really mediocre food. Unfortunately, the service, though friendly, was not very prompt or attentive. And the music was just awful. I really don't think Aerosmith goes well with brunch. I previously had the world's worst hot toddy there, but gave the place another chance because I wanted so badly for it to be the tasty go-to neighborhood spot that unfortunately it's just not. If they focused less on their "vibe" and more on the food, it could have a lot of potential. read more

We want so badly to like this place since it is so close to our apartment, but our two visits for dinner have simply been mediocre. On our most recent visit, I had the steak tacos and french fries and my boyfriend had poached eggs on a baguette. My taco tortillas were extremely soggy and broke as soon as I touched them. I had to eat my tacos with a knife and fork. His baguette was impossible to cut through with his knife, so he ended up eating the eggs and the bread separately even though they are served as an open-faced sandwich. The french fries are crispy and good, but overall, the prices are too high and the food too average to warrant coming here. read more

After talking to several people about what happened to me all convinced me this was very surprising. So I went back after raves about the burger. I tried it again and it was ok. Not really juicy but cooked to order medium rare. The bun is a average sesame bun the toppings ok and the fries seemed mostly small parts of fries. I have tried it now twice and I am disappointed since it is so close. At least I did not get sick and the server today was very friendly and attentive. Just my .02. read more

Fun place, great food! They have a TASTY kale dip that is to die for, and overall they have some good selections. The service was good, and the bartender friendly. Good spot for a nice bite to eat. read more

We stumbled on this place accidentally when Pok Pok had a two hour wait. We were so surprised with the food. It was great! The tortilla soup had the perfect amount of spice and giant avocado pieces. The kale dip was a pleasant alternative to guac or spinach dip. The pork belly tacos were crispy and had a spicy end - but not too spicy. The waitresses were super nice and accommodating! We can't wait to see what they have for us next time! read more

The hibiscus margarita was amazing. I highly recommend. I ordered the Short Rib tacos and 3 small tacos came out. They were tiny but good.

This is out favorite neighborhood spot: good for a beer, or a bloody, or a drink-drink. Good for brunch or lunch pr dinner. The fOod is always excellent -- always seems like a little better than you may even have expected! Presented nicely, simple yet not same-ol'. Very good stuff. Love sitting outside; inside is also great. $7 kids meals aren't too bad, either. read more

Great neighborhood place with delicious Mexican food. Very kid friendly with standard options. Carnitas tacos were amazing.

Absolutely amazing! From the drinks to the food to the service, loved it. This little spot was romantic, intimate, and classy. It was a little pricey but a treat indeed. read more

The reason to come here is singular. Frozen margaritas, in the summertime. The food is ok and service is good but it's really cold here in the cold weather. No sign of heat anywhere! read more

Wow. Absolutely rough experience. We had the Mexican mojito and caparihna cocktails and amazingly they both tasted the same. The result of way too much sour mix. And I never knew a mojito had sour mix. We ordered guacamole and a kale salad, both of which were forgotten and never mentioned by our server until I reminded her. Our food was "okay". I has the hearty stew which was terribly salty with too much like and my fiancé had the chorizo sandwich, and the bread was stale. Servers were kind but completely inattentive. Rough service night for sure. Will definitely not return. read more

So the food at this establishment is pretty good, however, bad service will always trump good food at a restaurant. The waiter I had was insanely rude and short and not very attentive at all! He made my friend I very uncomfortable while treating others better in front of us! I will never go back to this place even though there food was pretty good and so were the margaritas with the chile rim. read more

Came here for dinner the other night and loved it! Really cute atmosphere and friendly staff! Fish tacos and frozen margaritas are great!! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Personal fav lighting - dimmed house light and a table candle. Good food, jazz music, smiley waitress, good portion. Was my first time - great joint! read more

I had to update my review because I really do like bar Bruno; their food is solid and it's a nice place to have in the neighborhood. I love their tortilla soup and salads. I just can't bring my self to give it five stars because I think it's generally overpriced. I paid $20 for a shrimp salad. And it was good but not a salad with any special or particularly expensive ingredients in it (lettuce, corn, cucumber, white beans and shrimp-- that's it). Even if some of the items were a couple of dollars less it would make a big difference. I would be much more inclined to get that salad again, for instance, if it was $17 or $18. But yeah Bar Bruno is yummy so there it is. read more

Good brunch, good drinks, good delivery. I love their tacos, and knocked one star off because when I've ordered fish tacos at times sometimes the fish had been a little rubbery (as in they rushed getting my food together - I still ate it, and liked it overall). Ultimately they're so cool and nice, and at the end of one particularly drunk night they actually let me play music off my phone (sorry guys). A great neighborhood spot! read more

Sitting outside for our initial visit we enjoyed very nice house margaritas and grilled shrimp tacos with just the right amount of serrano chile, pickled onion and cabbage. Just delicious. We will definitely return to sample other items. This is perfect just for a cocktail and nibbles, as well as a sit-down full meal. And the neighborhood is great...we could live here easily! read more

Had the pleasure of trying a new Brooklyn spot! We were a big group so we got to try a bunch of apps. The kale dip and the wings were my personal favs but the guacamole and chorizo Mac a cheese was a close contender. After being nearly full from our apps and not to mention amazing cocktails (margarita picante) we ordered a few tacos and an entree. The chicken entree is beyond words! So yummy and the presentation is super cool! When everything comes out amazing that's when you know everything on the menu is a 10/10. The owner was there he was super friendly and made sure everything came out great! I highlight recommend this spin on Mexican bistro. read more

I got a ginger beer. it was fine, and they had world cup on. it was all good

The perfect place to tuck in to a nice burger, sandwich or steak for lunch or dinner. Very relaxed atmosphere and very kid friendly (when the kid is with us) and an excellent place to grab a couple beers when the kid is not with us. read more

Oh Bar Bruno, how we want to like you! When Bar Bruno opened, my husband & I were excited to have a corner bar/restaurant so conveniently close. We were immediately disappointed witht the food. (The exception are the fries = salty, fried deliciousness.) Since that first visit however, we've been back 4 times, mostly out of convenience and in hopes that the food would get better. This past Friday, we got a glimmer of hope witht the addition of fish tacos to the menu. Bottom line - nice local neighborhood spot for a bite to eat and a drink, but I wouldn't walk more than 3 blocks to eat there. read more

Great vibe, service, food and wine! I had shrimp tacos and the shishito peppers. They were wonderful. My friend had a duck dish and wine and he loved what he ordered too. (He usually complains.) Enco was our host and he was very patient with my friend who had a million questions. I will definitely go back. read more

Michelada heaven, and I love a good michelada. Try all of them, particularly the kimchee michelada as it will surprise you...yummmm! We go regularly for brunch, and the food is tasty and the staff wonderful. I find the fries a bit too salty, but my husband thinks they are fantastic so to each his own. It is the perfect spot for some steak and eggs, and the salads are great too. Only been there for dinner once, and the mussels were quite tasty. I must warn about the shishito peppers on the dinner menu. I love shishito peppers for their subtle heat, and in my experience,usually in an order of shishito peppers you will find one or two incredibly hot ones. However, at Bar Bruno the entire plate was HOT HOT HOT. The subtle shishito pepper of my dreams is no where to be found. I thought this was a fluke, but a neighbor told me she had the same experience. Sounds like they have a special order on fire shishitos, which some customers may love. In short, laid back place with solid food and really nice people. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

I was just taken aback there at the bar on Saturday night. 12:40 on my way home to get a quick nightcap and was bluntly told by the bartender that they were closed. I was confused (and sober!) because I knew they closed at 1 and there were a few guys still at the bar. The bartender started to realize that I knew they were closing early and hemmed and hawed but I was not going to stay as it got awkward. Really disappointing. I specifically chose to go there and not Jakewalk. Mistake. read more

Great little spot on a lovely little corner. Most places offer a standard garden variety Michelada - but Bruno serves up three very distinct options. They also have Negra Modelo on tap, which is hard to find. And of course, the menu has something for everyone. The burger is solid. Tacos are tasty. And the chicken is perfectly done. Top it off with a kick ass waitstaff and you've got yourself a winner. read more

The kale salad is the best salad I have ever had. I look forward to coming to Brooklyn just to visit Bar Bruno to order this salad. It is a great lunch place for families. Highly recommend a visit to Bar Bruno. read more

went two times in a week. both times drinks, service and food were completely different. if food/drinks and service were as bad as they were the 2nd time the first time we went, I would not return. not to mention the girl who seated us told me I couldn't get a container of water for my dog bc they are no longer allowed to use them for that. what?! youd rather have a dog dehydrate because you refused to give them a container of water than "waste" a cheap container??! not coming back. read more

Love this place! Prices are reasonable and service is exceptional. Additionally, the food and drinks are great.

Love this gem tucked away in Brooklyn. Great date spot. The food was awesome. Don't miss the guac, their corn, or the churros!

The Burger had no flavor, and was burnt. My wife asked for medium with no rare meat as she was pregnant but to me this should not mean overcooked burnt meat. Our salad never arrived and the fries tasted stale. Disappointing as the place looked good and we were excited to have a new local restaurant that could become a regular meeting place. read more

I come here often and everything I've had - the steak tacos, mussels in chorizo broth, queso fundido, artichoke dip, and most importantly the Cubana michelada - is always delicious. Love the decor too - it's not every restaurant in BK that is a shrine to George Best. 5 stars if the service wasn't a little slow sometimes. read more
