    Dark and stormy
    Najwa G.

    I went to Blueprint several years ago when I was still in college and remember that they had a really good Happy Hour- luckily that has stayed the same. I went with a friend to grab a couple of drinks on a Thursday night and the bar was packed and rightfully so. However, they're fine if you grab a table and just order drinks so there was no problem. I had the Smoky Mary's and it was pretty solid. All in all, a great spot in the neighborhood.

    Holy awesome goodness does this place make incredible cocktails. If you're looking for a nice three drink run, I can recommend doing the Donkey Kong, followed by the Squid and the Whale, and then closing out with the Café Mexicano. The food was delicious as well. I can recommend the house cured salmon plate. And the wedge salad was perfect. (Yes, sometimes I eat things that are not cheese, haters... although I did get blue cheese. Hey leave me alone about it.) These bartenders are so nice plus they're eager to talk about their concoctions. I had a blast talking shop. The inside is super chill and easy to carry on a conversation with whoever's with you. And for when it's not scorching hot, there's a nice patio outback. I can't wait to go back. So many more cool inventions to drink.

    Love this place. Amazing vibe & cocktails. I never drink bourbon but ended up ordering what my friend had it was so good. The duck club was unique and tasty. I'll be back for all of the above.

    Old fashioned three ways - loving the block ice cube. It's the only way to enjoy this drink.

    Amazing drinks very legitimate old fashioned. Very cozy and ambiance was quite chic and romantic for a bar. Dim lights really set the mood and the music is very chill. The food menu is outstanding. They have rabbit pit pie, we ended up having the flatbread pizza as small bites while we waited for our next venue. Service was quick the small bites were on point and delicious. There were three of us so we needed a shareable snack and this was perfect. Great flavor and perfectly crispy. Would come back to enjoy more drinks and food. Bartender was very friendly and recommended great foods and drinks for us and was able to answer our questions about the menu pretty quick. Fantastic and can't wait to return. Service was great and our bartender checked in on us often. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Very cozy bar on 5th Ave of Park Slope. I got the Indian summer sour - Vodka, Meletti amaro, pineapple, ginger, lime, falernum, five spice- which was good but a little on the sweet side. I also got the Burrata on garlic toast which was delicious! Great customer service from the bartenders!

    Wow. This is one of my favorite cocktail bars at the moment - I'm sad it took me to come here! Blueprint is one of the first bars that has really got me excited in a long time. The cocktail menu is well thought out, has something for everyone, and the quality for the price far exceeds "bigger" name bars. I have not had any misses here. The food is outstanding, all the way from some light bites with your drinks/wine or to a full blown meal. I love their brussels sprouts and their bruschetta with burrata. Have a glass of wine with their boquerones with a glass of wine at the bar, and for a minute you'll forget you're at a neighborhood bar in Brooklyn, and imagine yourself in southern Spain or somewhere else. In love with the vibes here: whether you're at the bar, in the more private tables in the back, or their awesome backyard. Overall a great neighborhood feel, and not stuffy at all. Probably my favorite bar right now!

    Definitely one of the best bars in Park Slope. (Also has my favorite red wine - Lambrusco. All of their dishes are really simple but super flavorful. Very chill vibe overall and the staff is really nice and accommodating. We got the cheese board, the sliders (the sliders were so good), and pate dip. I wish I came here more while I was in Park Slope!

    Courtesy of Andy - thank You - (Tequila based) smooth not too sweet and it's honestly perfect (as usual). There's No name, just delish.

    Caveat: this place was recommended by friends for cocktails so that's all we got here. The drinks are nice though you'd hope for more given the price range. The service was pleasant and attentive. The vibe overa was chill. If I had gotten food from here and loved it I'd probably give it a four star. The cocktails didn't do it for me. You can judge for yourself by the pics but overfilling glasses with ice isn't enticing and while there's nothing wrong with the drinks, there's not much of a wow factor either. Give it a try for yourself if you're ambivalent.

    Blueprint is an upscale bar that has quickly become one of my favorite go-to places for their "Lay Day" Cocktail which in my opinion is delicious. Then why did I give them 4 out of 5 Stars?....We ordered a Charcuterie Board - Yes, Blueprint is a high-end bar but ithe Charcuterie Board was so small and overpriced for the size. Blueprint is on 5th Avenue and it is near various eateries including Black Oak, several Mezican Restaurants and not too far from Two Boots Pizza. Blueprint ia dimly-lit and it gives a chic, yet down-to-earth classy vibe which makes it great. It is quaint with indoor seating as well as an outdoor dining patio. The multiple time comong here so far, we have enjoyed sitting at the bar as well as at one of their cozy two-seated tables that are across from the bar area. Blueprint gets busy as it is pretty popular, however staff do a good job of tending to customers, so we have never waited too long for service. Blueprint's food menu has Small Plates that include their Hummus Plate& Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Big Plates that include Duck, Ricotta Pizza, Rabbit Pot Pie, their Cured Salmon Plate, etc. Blue also has Salads, Snacks including Spicy Picklesand MarinatedOlives & Desserts that include Caramel Bread Pudding and Flourless Chocolate Bourbon Cake. The Charcuterie Coard options can include any of their Meats, Cheeses and Bread. Each individual selection is $9 any 3 are $24and the House Plate is $32 which is any 3 Meats, any 3 Cheeses and their Housemade Bread. Our Charcuterie Board (please see picture I posted) had three poeces of cheese a sliver of prosciutto along with sloces.on bread and a few apple slices. While it was tasty, I believe that there could have been more.on the Charcuterie Board for the price. While I am a bit curious about trying other food options at Blueprint, I may think twice. We have had some of their House Cocktails including their "Lay Day" Cocktail- Mezcal, Pisco, Passionfruit, Green Chartreuse, Cardamom, Pineapple & Lime as well as their "Grapfruit Dead" Cocktail - Bourbon, Aperitivo, Lemon, Grapefruit - Hibiscus Syrup, bitters, absinthe. I will continue to return to get a Lay Day Cocktail once in awhile. The bartenders prepare them well and I do like a nicely created, fruity / on the sweeter side kind of refreshing cocktail. Individuals can also select spirits from their Loquor List which include Bourbon, Rye, Scotch & Singlel Malts, Irish Whiskey, Gin, Rum, Tequila & Mezcal, Vodka & Cognac / Brandy. Blueprint has a good selection of spirits.

    Atmosphere: The inside looked rather fancy, definitely dress for the place (business casual). Good for date night. Our group of 4 was severely underdressed so they gave us outdoor seating. It's cold during the fall, and the heater only completely covered one of the seats, so my friend was fine, but I was freezing. Food: My friends ordered the House Cured Salmon Plate which came with Creme Fraiche which was excellent (although for the price it left more to be desired). The Rabbit Pot Pie was also amazing, highly recommend, I'd say it's worth the price. Unfortunately, no picture (I was too excited to eat it and forgot to take one). Service: Service was passable. Slow, but it was a Saturday night, so things were pretty busy.

My top-tier chum who…read moreliterally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by here Tuesday night prior to the Nets game for some light bites and cocktails - I refuse to buy the overpriced crap at Barclays, so this seemed like more than a good compromise. I also had multiple chums from Brooklyn endorsing this spot, so everything seemed to be lining up for an excellent night. Unfortunately, I'm starting to think you just can't go to places like this on a Tuesday, but maybe it was just a bad night. I got here way before my chum due to our work schedules, literally 45 minutes or so. It wasn't 6pm yet and while there were definitely customers in both the bar area and the backyard outdoor section, it was pretty chill. I was able to secure a small table next to the bar right by the open window in the front (probably because the sun was glaring down on it, which wasn't an issue 10 minutes later) and just chilled out for a while, enjoying the excellent warm weather. This was the highlight of the experience, which unfortunately my chum did not get to enjoy. A lot of this was just unfortunate timing, I think. As I was waiting for my chum, people were practically streaming into the bar, probably about 25 or so, which I watched with increasing trepidation. Pretty much all of them wanted a drink, and there was only one bartender. They did not fix that problem until well into my chum's visit, so there was literally just the one guy making a gazillion drinks for about 45 minutes. Just no reason for that at all, especially given that they DID have the resources to divert and had a young woman back there at a certain point. But once I saw how crazy it was getting, I tried to pre-emptively order a second round, which he forgot about and had to ultimately be reminded of. It took literally half an hour to get the second drink. When my chum arrived, she went up to the bar to order her own drink and some of the arancini. She came back 10 minutes later and said she wasn't given the opportunity - THAT is completely insane. If you're so swamped that customers have to wait that long to even order much less get their drinks, you need help. Not clear where the disconnect was, but what started out as a great experience pretty much crash landed. Really disappointing. The crowd did thin out ultimately but the damage had been done. We were able to get the drinks but didn't bother with the additional app because we didn't want to risk missing a big chunk of the Nets game. So by not being even remotely attentive for a significant period of time, they left money on the table. I will say that the bartender himself maintained his professionalism throughout, and just kept making the drinks. Pretty much the opposite of what would have happened on Bar Rescue. This was on management, not the bartender. The drinks WERE good, which also made the service problems a shame. I got the Witch Doctor, which featured bourbon, rosemary, maple and lemon. Really well made, and appropriate for the unseasonably warm evening - it's the kind of bourbon cocktail made for summer. Would absolutely get that again. And the food was very solid. The star of the night was the arancini, which were featured prominently on the apps menu right at the time and promoted as one of their big selling points - deservedly so. These were honestly some of the best rice balls I've had. The cheese in the middle emphasized the flavors and wasn't too dense or overwhelming, the balls were cooked perfectly, and the sauce (the underrated part of rice balls for me) was delicious. Huge recommend. I also got a margarita flatbread to share with my chum, and that was good as well. Everything was going to come up short to the arancini, but it hit the spot. As mentioned, this was a random Tuesday night when maybe they don't have their full crew ready to rock. Maybe it was a fluke crowd surge? I just don't know, but the bottom line was that they weren't prepared for the customers who came in and were already there, and that's a big problem. If you can't deliver the same quality that you do on the weekends and predictably busier times, then you shouldn't be open that early in the week. Hopefully they figure it out because there's a lot to like here.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.

They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.
