Just took my nephew visiting from CA to load up on fishing gear for his time in NYC. The staff were so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. They absolutely made his day and trip. He's already proudly rocking his new Bernie's T-shirt and hat that they gave him! Thanks Bernie's!

Great store for a guy that's new to fishing and wants to try it or a professional who wants to upgrade his gear!

This is one of the two tackle shops left in the neighborhood, there was 6 at one point, they are still here for a reason!

DO NOT BUY! I bought a Paul Skenes rookie card in a mag case and it came damaged. I bought from…read morewhatnot. I've spend hundreds on their streams. I repeatedly messaged them asking to look at my message and they said they would "hook me up". Apparently they looked at my message 3 weeks later and they decided to block me because they knew they make a mistake and didn't want to own up. Actually thinking about it this whole store is trying to rip you off. I buy "mystery packs" from them and they put on "good card" on top and the rest are duplicates or garbage. Maybe donate them to a school or a children's hospital. Do better

I had a strange experience at the Hot Corner. An older guy and 2 younger guys were working and one…read moreof them was pretty responsive to questions about selling cards and buying specific cards. The younger guy asked the older guy about where to find these cards. He told the younger guy, then nothing happened. I stood around for 15 minutes and left when it was clear none of them were interested in my business. They have a ton of very cool autographed bats, balls and other memorabilia that seem to be priced really fairly. This would probably be my first stop if I was looking for a specific players autograph. There aren't a lot of card shops to consider these days, but I will not likely revisit these guys. It seems the bust in card value has hurt the morale as much as the actual business. Coming here felt like a giant waste of time, despite trying to go local instead of online.

This is one of the small-format Targets that have been popping up all over NYC, so selection is…read moremore limited. I don't really browse at these smaller stores, but instead check the inventory online first and then go there to get specific things, which helps manage expectations. We came here because, despite the smaller size, they were the only one in South Brooklyn that had all of the school supplies we were looking for. We were able to order almost everything online in advance, and order pickup was straightforward. For the one item that was too limited in inventory to be available for pickup, I was never able to find it in the store, and searching for it was a bit frustrating, which is how I usually feel just "shopping" at the small-format stores (and why I stopped). The store is two floors with entrances on both 13th and 14th. No parking though, and not an easy area to find street parking. Employees were fine, even if not the most friendly. Not a lot of mask wearing here, unlike some other stores. I think if we return here, it will just be for order pickup.

I placed a pick up order today and because only one cashier was serving at a time and nobody was…read moreserving on the other end where usually pick up orders are checked I went ahead and bought a couple of items instead of waiting somebody to come, while paying for the items I bought in-store I saw that 3 people gathered on the other end and I approached them saying that I was here before but nobody came,one of the ladies distrespectfully pointed 4 fingers at me asking which line I waited and I responded that initially I was there but didn't stay as I didn't see anybody. I decided to take a new turn however when finally target team female representative came instead of paying attention to me she started taking care of another customer who came right after I took a new turn on a new line. I expressed my disappointment and called target phone number, feeling that it was too much, I had nothing to do with customers, It was about that there was only one target team representative there as a cashier... Female team member called another team member whose name was Mr Nelson.Mr Nelson instead of looking into my order accused me saying that I pointed at the customer which was "disrespectful", instead of acknowledging that I pointed at the customer showing that this young customer came after me and while I was ahead of him he was served first , I didn't know his name. Instead Mr Nelson, target team member told me that I should wait 2 hours after I placed order online, he didn't look at my order to see that it was already over 2 hours since order was placed online. instead immediately chose to reject me, accusing me in disrespecting somebody else who went ahead of me. I felt extremely disrespected because It was my turn. He ping ponged me to Mr Jeffrey who found out that my order was not ready because items were out of stock and he offered me to buy alternative( 6 bottles in a pack , price of which was more than 12 bottles on my order which cost me more , I bought 2 ) , but I needed, so I bought. Very frustrated and disappointed.

It's rather sad that when I receive honest, fairly-priced, quality service, it surprises me because…read moreit has become so uncommon. I read numerous reviews praising this shop not only for their excellent service but also for their honorable business practices. Today, I had the pleasure of confirming that every one of those kind words were true in those reviews with the assistance of Sean. As a new rider with limited knowledge about my bike's needs, I made it clear to Sean that I didn't know bikes and told him to do whatever he thought was best. He could have taken advantage of my inexperience and charged me for unnecessary services, but instead, he walked me through exactly what my bike needed and what it didn't. He charged me a very very fair price to fix it right there on the spot. Thank you, Sean, and the team, for reminding me what great service feels like.

I've been going to this shop on and off for years and recently decided to give it another shot,…read morehoping things had improved. Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. While a few staff members have been friendly, there's been a recurring pattern of dismissive and somewhat condescending behavior across multiple visits. Questions and concerns often felt brushed off, and explanations of services -- like what a "free tune-up" actually includes -- were vague or incomplete. There were also several instances where the work itself didn't inspire confidence. A computer mount was left spinning despite being told it was secure, and on another visit, a mechanic refused to use carbon paste on a mount, which didn't feel appropriate for the component involved. What's most concerning is that this wasn't a one-off experience -- it's been a pattern over time. When communication and attention to detail are lacking, it starts to impact both safety and trust, especially on longer rides. Update (Jan 2026): I later found out that a tubeless setup I paid for had barely any sealant in the tires, which explains why a flat wouldn't seal. Another shop had to fix it. At this point, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. I'd recommend double-checking any work before leaving.
