Visiting Brooklyn, stopped here with a friend after a short walk from the Brooklyn Museum. This place is great! Adorable and fun interior and they make one mean cocktail! Delicious! Bartender was really friendly down to making me a special cocktail of his creation not on the menu. I recommend "Mr. Howell" or "Victory or Death" on the menu! read more

I just moved to the neighborhood and I am slowly finding the neighborhood gems like the Bearded Lady. It's a really cute corner bar in Prospect Heights that serves up fun cocktails. But really I would come here just for the nachos. I came here late on a Saturday night with two visiting friends. I wanted to show them a couple bars in the area before we head over to dance at Friends and Lovers. But Bearded Lady blew us away with its dimly lit ambiance and really great staff. We ended up just staying here instead of hitting up another bar and decided to get the loaded nachos and it was 100% a great decision. We got some ciders for the table and really enjoyed our time there. This is an all around great spot for gathering whether you are on a date, out with friends or that random wedding party that came at midnight. 10/10 will be back soon! read more

Bearded Lady - This picture does not do these Nachos justice. Must-have when you're here!!! - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Kick ass Crown Heights joint with an airy, modern design. Bearded Lady has a bit of the retro vibe of Beauty Bar, but with a lot more chill. They were running happy hour when we arrived early on a weekday evening, which meant $1 off our yummy drinks! They do have beers, but the real treat is their extensive fancy cocktail menu, which includes everything from a simple but delicious Pimm's Cup variant (the Church Key) to the complex Beta Carotene Thing. Oh yes, and they also have two frozen drink options available on any given summery day! Cocktails are well crafted, but pricey at $11-$15 each. I really enjoyed the Ginger Prince for $11, which a great flavor and more drink for your buck than the slimmer Church Key. They also have fresh daily oysters and a small bar treats menu. Outdoor seating when the weather is good, but wasn't out when we went. Either way it's quite breezy and nice when they open up their large windows! read more

This is a nice place to wander to after going to the BK museum. The scene is laid back and has a fun feel. I gravitated to this place based on the interesting looking snack food menu they had. The nachos that i was really excited for were awful and did not enough cheese or "fixins". There a lot of Potential for fun snacks but right now its kinda lacking.The staff was really nice and tried to fix our sucky nacho situation. I would go back if I was on a date or if I was in the neighborhood but definitely not when I'm hungry. read more

Bearded Lady - Arthur after hours - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

$1 oyster happy hour Monday to Fridays 5-7pm and drink specials then too! Enough said! It is also a big space so it is baby and stroller friendly. In fact we usually take up the back room for mom and baby happy hours. There is a pool table in the back. The cocktails are delicious. During the day it is quiet and good for sipping a beer while getting some work done. So glad to have this in the neighborhood. They don't have a backyard but have outdoor street seating when the weather is nice. read more

I'm a sucker for a creative cocktail bar and Bearded Lady definitely delivers. I love the look of the menu, it's very customer friendly I guess you could say. All of the ingredients are clearly laid out. I opted for their rum punch variation, it was very spirit forward just like I prefer. I went on a Saturday afternoon, it was perfect weather for their outside seating, but I sat inside. It's also a baby friendly bar, my friend brought his little one along and shortly after I began noticing plenty of lil babies lol Can't wait to visit again and check out more of the menu! read more

Was in the area visiting grandma had a craving for oysters. Drinks are still great but there's no oysters and now there's like a total of 7 restaurants in the 5 block radius all serving craft cocktails. Bring back the oysters!!!! read more

Cool spot, creative cocktails and beautiful decor. This cocktail bar is vibrant, inviting and has an overall atmosphere of "you're welcome here". Nothing pretentious about it. Outdoor seating was available as New York City has great weather again. Only complaint is no table service. Kind of a pain to order at the bar every time you want another drink. Happy hour prices and oyster deals that can't be beat. Can't remember the name of the cocktails we had but they were on point delicious and the presentation makes it that much more fun to drink! read more

Pretty large bar with a cozy back area - pool table and even a fairly intimate booth. The seats/"coffee tables" in the back are a bit too low, almost awkward, but such is life. Good crowd, kind bartender, all around solid establishment that delivers everything you need in a bar. read more

They roofed your drink. Poor customer service very inexperienced. The bartender had no experience and I am sure he put something in my drink bc I felt sick afterwards. read more

The music is GOOD!! Even though it's hard to hear over the other customers. It's dimly lit but overall nice. The wait for a drink is not long I opted to sit at the bar. It packed a good crowd. This spot is ideal if you want to enjoy crafted cocktails outside of the basic long island or Rum and coke. read more

Great little bar in the wonderful neighborhood that is Prospect Heights. Sorry, Soda Bar, you've got some competition for coziest/most charming boite. There was a FREE BEER sign when I walked in--April's Fools obviously. The place looks more like a Pinkberry inside without the dimmed lighting. There are seats around the bar and a few small tables but no intimate nooks or booths to disappear into. I wouldn't come here for privacy, but you can totally disappear into a date despite the ambiance. There's a solid beer list with some nice porters and stouts. Unfortunately, I didn't try the cocktails, which I understand is the house specialty. I have a feeling their legend will grow... read more

I ended a night out with friends at this bar. The drinks were strong and average priced. There's definitely a strong love of bendy straws from the bartenders, but it just makes things more festive. We sat outside which was peaceful on a Friday night. The table service was great and added to the relaxed feel. We also ordered nachos and pretzel braids, which were pretty good bar food. read more

The Bearded Lady is a great spot for some late night drinks. Like most places that have knowledgeable bartenders making high end drinks, your sure to get great bang for your buck. I have no problem paying money for a drink that's worth it. I don't need to pay $11 dollars for a whiskey and coke that tastes like shit. Unlike many of places with similar drinks, they're menu is constantly changing. I really like the drink menu during the fall season. The snacks are amazing beer cheese with crackers, spicy mixed nuts, grilled cheese, olives, pickles but the main thing to get here are the oysters. Past midnight it's only a buck an oyster. Fans of New Orleans should take advantage of their Muffuletta. I swear it's better than one's I've actually had down there. Since they expanded, they have added more seating a pool table and some cool little nooks in the wall if you want to get cozy with someone. The place is gorgeous, especially at night time with the candle light. It has a retro feel and design. Not pretentious at all, like how some cocktail bars could be. Justin and Patrick are awesome bartenders who know how to make drinks, drop some knowledge and show great hospitality in their bar. As I mentioned their menu always has some amazing drinks but if ever in doubt order their Old Fashioned. Best one I have ever had! read more

The Bearded Lady My daughter and her family live a block and a half away. This is our local Brooklyn watering hole when we are in town. We are often the only grandparents in the place and often the only non -hipsters. This is a great place to go. You can go in the daytime in the summer and sit outside in the sun. You can go in the winter to warm up. You can sit at the bar (een with your 8 month old) or sit at a table, with or without a stroller. What do we like about it: Atmosphere: fresh paint, clean, pool table in the back. Bar menu: crafted cocktails, many made with the help of pre mixed solutions on the bar top. The summer rhubarb strawberry concoction and the ones made with London Gin or vodka, salt and Campari. Beer menu: small selection, curated well, something for everyone. I like fresh lagers and pilsners. Dave likes the IPAs. Food: fresh oysters, $1 per day two hours a day during the week. Other bar type food such as pretzels and hot dogs Management: know what they are doing, helped my daughter host a private party recently. What is not to like about it: It can get loud and crowded. Is that such a bad thing? Five stars read more

Really confused about the great reviews for this place. I came here for happy hour to get drinks and oysters based on their great reviews. The place itself is cute - really does remind me of a tiki bar. My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartender was quick to take our order. We decided to try three of each of the happy hour oysters - Fanny Bay and Pebble Beach. So glad we got such a small amount because my friend was ready to order 36 oysters. When they were served, I swear - I've never eaten such bad oysters. They tasted incredibly fishy and didn't seem fresh. Out of the two kinds, one was inedible. For the drinks, I ordered the Ginger Prince which I did not like AT ALL. Reminded me of an alcoholic drink you would get at a TGIFridays. My friend ordered the Daiquiri which was much better than mine. We payed for the two drinks and six oysters and went to a great restaurant down the block instead. Won't be coming back. read more

Man, I have been visiting the 'Lady an awful lot. I've managed to work my way through the cocktail list (though I hear they're about to rotate in some more autumn-appropriate stuff) and a few of their sandwiches. Everything has been good so far. It's become my after-work bar, and also my day-off bar. Yay for all purpose bars. read more

Friday visit here wasn't as bad as my last one. Not too crowded. Was able to get to the bar without no problem. Good tap IPA.

$14 cocktail that's already premade is embarrassing. Might as well be canned at a bodega. Service was fine though.

Super cute inside, and their grilled cheese is FANTASTIC. Bartenders are very nice! Great neighborhood spot.

Love this spot. First so close to home, just a block. Second great place to hang. I just hate it when it's crowned, It's just a small space. One of my favorite. read more

First time visit and had an amazing time! Cocktails and even frozen drinks were good and Sam was THE BEST bartender and rest of the staff was also super helpful. Not too busy on a Saturday night, chill vibes, cool people. 10/10 will be back with friends read more

I recently came here for the $1 oyster happy hour special with a friend. The oysters were fine (nothing like Upstate's happy hour oysters) and the drinks were also discounted - so it was affordable and chill. There was no table service, so getting the bartenders' attention was tedious and stressful. It's located in a great location and a its a fine place to meet-up with friends after work. In the end, nothing stood out, not bad not memorable. Solid 3 stars. read more

Possibly the worst bar staff I've ever seen. The bartender working by the pool table on 11/12 made and took orders one at a time. After waiting 45 minutes I went to the other side of the bar and got a drink immediately. read more

This place is def a hidden gem. I came in at 630pm and was greeted by Scott and told me about happy hour which was the main reason why I came. I ordered 16 oysters and they were some of the best OYSTERS ever. The John the beachcomber was a strong drink and I csn see why they say just 2 maximum of these drinks. Well this is where things gor scary. After the first drink and set of oysters they ran out. Scott told me they would substitute the other two selections of oysters that are normally regular priced for happy hour prices... How awesome is that. I love this place. It's my new hotspot. You must come here read more

i seriously never ever write reviews but my experience here just sucked. and i was super bummed. terirble, tasteless drinks and service that could. not. care. less. like no. not possible. total bummer. read more

Four & a Half...This is one of my current favorite bars in BK, well worth the 20 minute walk from my place. Serious world class cocktails at seriously reasonable price. My favorite at the moment is the La Sirena, a tabasco spiked tequila based work of art nothing short of ingenious, & this is coming from a Tabasco hater! on top of this the draft beer list is fantastic, brilliantly chosen. Decor and location/setting are perfect and seamlessly feed off one another. Hipster bartenders are expert mixologists and get friendlier the better you know them and/pr the drunker you get. Good happy hour, Excellent oyster selection are a buck a piece after midnight. What more do you need to know? See you here soon. read more

Didn't get a chance to try out their signature cocktail...The Dirty Martini was spot on with the ratio of olive juice and gin. It's probably the best I had in Brooklyn at this point. Will definitely try out their signature cocktails on the night out. read more

Loved this place! Attended a party there recently and the folks working were so nice and super accommodating. I had a fantastic Bloody Mary and an IPA recommended by the bartender- I'm not a big fan of IPAs but the bartender assured me it wasn't a typical IPA. She was spot on and it was f-ing delicious. My partner had a church key and a Ted Damson (I sampled each for quality control purposes) and again these were f-ing delicious! Ran into a friend of mine too and it turns out it's her local bar and now I know why! read more

The Bearded Lady is rad AF. I don't understand the less-than-5-star reviews because it has all the essentials: - nice bar - awesome staff - fantastic snacks (SEE: PICKLES AND NACHOS AND OYSTERS Y'ALL) - good draught and canned beer options - clean bathrooms - a quirky cast of regulars DONE AND DUSTED GO HERE IT'S GREAT. Yelp note: disappointingly, nary a bearded lady in sight. read more

I came here for the first time other day with my friends and we racked up a $160 bill. I was so mad that we had spent our money there when I heard the man in charge talking about us on my walk to the bathroom. My friend had asked to shut the huge open window in front of our table.... a manager was sent to our table to discuss it. Instead of simply saying no, he decided to tell his server that "we should go to any other bar where the windows are already shut" That guy was totally rude and should've made those comments in privacy or not made them at all. Totally unprofessional, I will never come back here because to that man. Other than that I really enjoyed this restaurant. read more

We were hungry and it was early. The place was dark and mood lit. We had tolwo veggie dogs, pretzels & radishes.' MB ya

HORRIBLE! Bartenders don't know how to make classic drinks. Old Fashioned was weak and ALL ICE. Whiskey Sour was missing garnish and tasted all sour. Manhattan served HALF FULL and tasted flat. Pretzel served burned and rock hard. $1 oysters were good but had shards of shell in them. Room has limited seating yet an inexplicably large empty space in the front. Came in at 6pm. Decent amount of people but not crowded or loud. By 7pm, still not too crowded but the bar became ridiculously dark and music excruciatingly loud for no reason. There are much better options in the area for properly made cocktails in a more comfortable setting. read more

I came to this neighborhood bar for the first time and the service was HORRIBLE. It took almost 30 minutes for me and my boyfriends drinks to come out! Needless to say we asked for our bill after we got our drinks- don't spend thirty minutes here waiting for a sub-par cocktail! read more

The Bearded Lady is such a wonderful bar. Outdoor seating and dog friendly means we can walk down here with the pups and settle in for the afternoon/evening or just a beer and a snack. Cocktails are excellent and I love the nachos and the hot dogs. Dollar oysters during happy hour always makes me happy! Rotating Beer selection is great and the staff are friendly. Great spot! read more

Bearded Lady - Such great bar snacks!!! - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Finally checked out the Bearded Lady this weekend after a friend kept recommending it. A little confused about the vibe -- it's a mix of 50s/retro/tropical/tiki which doesn't quite match the name in my mind. But the drinks were good, and the big open windows were great for a sunny afternoon. Also tried the nachos which hit the spot and had a unique mix of housemade cheese sauce, mole, and salsa verde. Didn't love the Painkiller drink (nice and strong but too rich and creamy to be refreshing). Loved the Ginger Prince -- would definitely get again. This place reminds me of Super Power on Nostrand but a little more toned down. read more
