Super cute place and bigger than I thought it would be. We stopped in on St. Patrick's Day at the hair end of happy hour. We had 2 drinks each; both were delicious and refreshing. Their snacks all looked yummy for nibbles and I loved the vibe. A great date spot! read more

Excellent Cocktails & cook vibes. We went there spontaneously and we're pleasantly surprised.

Excellent cocktails and friendly staff. I think every plate is perfect to share between two people. Can't go wrong with the cheese and meat plate! read more

Definitely coming back here! This will be my neighborhood bar- for sure! The bartender made drinks for my friend and I with time and thoroughness. There's a cozy patio out back and the bar inside is long and inviting... So happy this place exists in Park Slope. read more

I have, never in my life, had better cocktails than those served at Blueprint. You just can't find better in Brooklyn!! The prices are reasonable, the flavors DEVINE! I am not easily impressed by cocktails and Blueprint never disappoints!! read more

A Londoner; I came to Brooklyn for a week and went straight from the airport to the house my friends were renting; to find it was the wrong address ( mere misunderstanding ). It was 02.30, my phone and iPad just died on me and I had only UK currency. The local Golden Arches joint in the main just wanted to close up and go home. The local police weren't interested and sent me to find a hotel some 35 blocks away, walking with a heavy bag and a rucksack. Exhausted and at least a little concerned for my safety I stumble on to BLUEPRINT. Ok I was anxious. I must've been because after telling my tale to the barman Ryan, he told me to relax a few times before calmly offering me a shot on the house. Ryan is actually an angel Now though they were about to close Ryan and a lady seated at the bar encouraged me to relieve my shoulders of my bags and relax. Meanwhile the lady made it her business to find a local hotel for me for the night, to leaving her stool and going outside to get details with dogged determination, phone call after phone call. But then this lady is an angel. It wasn't until she left that I believed that she was the actual owner ; Regina. I had thought until then that they were joking as no owner is ever that kind and personable, particularly with nothing to gain. After a while Casey finished her work at the food counter and joined us for a drink. A very warm and engaging lady. I remember telling them that I'd never have imagined that anything would've put a smile on my face that night but with them I actually had a good time. And yes, the decor was relaxing , and ambience was intimate. The music is apparently tailored to keep troublesome types moving on, and the drinks prices were ok. I only regret that I didn't bring my friends to spend an evening there as I said I would , but it was a really busy week , (apologies) but guys, when I'm in Brooklyn next ( my sister lives there) , you've got business Again, thanks very much for your hospitality and kindness read more

Went here for drinks with a group of friends. Great vibe and good selection of interesting drinks. My drinks were good, but not out-of-this-world amazing. I loved the low light and they have a great adorable outside patio. Service was fine; somewhat slow. I take 1/2 off for service and 1/2 off for there being a radioactive-new-york sized cockroach on the wall near us. He didn't do much besides slowly spin in a circle (reflecting how we should feel by the end of the night?) so we weren't too concerned and this is Brooklyn after all, but it makes me just a little concerned that they didn't do a visual pass-through before opening the place. You kindof can't miss him if you are looking around. Anyways, I liked the place, thought it had a romantic vibe (outside of the peeping Tom roach) and would return. read more

Blueprint far exceeded all of my expectations and then some. Being that I have been in hospitality for over 8 years, I recognize all signs that attribute to the success of an establishment, but it's rare when I feel compelled to leave a review like this. Last night was my second time at Blueprint and the experience I had was incredible. The vibe is intimate, the cocktails without a doubt are amazing; handcrafted with the freshest ingredients and house made bitters. But what really impressed me beyond belief was the detail to service - my cocktail waitress, Danielle, went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome, as if I had been a regular for years. She was sweet, friendly and had a warmth to her personality. It's one thing to serve customers, it's an entirely different experience when you engage with your customers the way Danielle did. She suggested drinks for us, offered her opinion on different specials and was so attentive to everything we asked of her. It's extremely rare to be treated with such appreciation and friendliness in the nightlife industry now-a-days and her service is something that will ensure that myself, and anyone else she serves, is a customer for life. In fact, one of Danielle's suggestions led me to Andy, the mixologist that created a custom drink based off of my favorite spirits and flavors. After I told Danielle the key components of the drink I would like, Andy created a cocktail for me that was unbelievable and offering it to me on the house! Undoubtably a perfect way to broaden my knowledge on the capability of the bar staff all while solidifying the perfect hospitality experience. Right as we were finishing up, Andy came out from behind the Bar, introduced himself and took his own time to get to know us as well as thanking us for coming in. It was such a pleasure meeting him and Danielle, the Owner should be proud to these two AMAZING individuals taking such care in clientele and representing this place while leaving such an impeccable mark on customers like myself. Before leaving we ordered some food - the mozzarella pizza and the pork butt sliders, both were delicious and extremely fresh, it seems like they have everything at this place down to a perfect science. Delicious. As I said before, I will be a customer for life. I am extremely grateful for the hospitality I received thanks to Danielle and Andy, I couldn't have asked for a better night. read more

You might walk pass this place a few times before discovering a very quaint cocktail bar. I have. I frequent other restaurants on the same block and have never realized this great place. My friends were visiting from out of town and found this place randomly. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon for a few bites. We ordered the burrata bruschetta, baby octopus, house cured fish plate. It was all so good. We were so happy to try it all. The burrata bruschetta is almost like a grill cheese bruschetta but better. The baby octopus is deliciously seasoned and paired with potatoes, and the house cured fish plate was great for sharing. I mean we shared these 3 plates amongst 4. (we had other dinner plans) But I could totally see myself stopping here for a night out! read more

Solid cocktails, beautifully presented. The chicken liver mousse is to die for -- seriously, please don't change it one bit. So many restaurants screw it up and yours is perfection! The atmosphere in the front and in the backyard is charming ---great place for a date. The only things I would suggest to improve are more 'seasonal' specials since sometimes the menu feels like it doesn't change enough. There are some bad booths by the bathroom -- to be honest, if that is all that is left, I leave & go somewhere else. This area could be improved with better design -- for example raising the booths up on a platform (so you step up into them) and give them higher backs and sides to make it seem like a special, separate space from the bathrooms...or somehow curtain them off! read more

Love the Smoky Mary. In fact I'm going there tonight to have another one. Meat and cheese! How can you go wrong with a good cocktail paired with excellent meats and cheeses. I'm excited to see what else they have. Great atmosphere too :-D read more

Came from Texas to visit family. This is the first place they took us and I'm glad they did. Fantastic atmosphere with great drinks. Service was outstanding as well. Any other places we sample will probably be judged against this place. Recommended! read more

GREAT VIBE! Went there early Sat. evening. Finally a place in the Slope that I feel comfortable drinking in. The drinks were excellent particularly when I asked the bartender get to concoct a number of off menu drinks. The small plate food was good just the right compliment to the drinks. And did I mention not a stroller in sight! read more

This is another solid cocktail bar in Park Slope - and they are pretty rare in the nabe although these places are trending now. Blueprint certainly has a creative cocktail mixology menu so I'm thankful I don't have to trek out of Park Slope to get a creative, oh so delicious cocktail. I ordered the Hana which was too strong for my taste but I really liked The London Bootleg - gin, aperol, grapefruit bitters you can't go wrong! It is a huge plus that Blueprint has an extensive tapas and appetizer menu so you can pair or supplement your cocktail with a delicious treat. I still prefer Wolf and Deer when it comes to the ambience, decor and happy hour specials (happy hour @ Blueprint ends at 7pm, an hour earlier than W&D) but I would still go back to Blueprint to try more of their creative cocktails and food! read more

Amazing cocktail spot with an cozy and intimate vibe. Not one of the pseudo-artisanal cocktail spots in Manhattan that pretend to be more than they are, the bartenders here are all friendly and know exactly what they're doing. And the prices are incredible for the quality. They also make a great East Side. Good music volume so you can talk to people or meet new friends as well. Have lived near this place for a while and they've always been awesome, even when a massive tree fell on the building a couple years ago. read more

This place is dangerous. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'm pretty sure it would bankrupt me because I'd be here every.single.day. It's not a huge spot - come to think of it, it's just the right size. There's a table up front, which can seat about six or seven, a decent-sized bar, with some two-tops, perfect for some romantic, come hither conversations (inevitable after two or three of their delicious cocktails - see BELOW), and there's a patio for spring and summer (which, apparently, is what we call January now. What is up with the weather these days anyway?!). I digress. Let's talk about cocktails and forget about those melting polar ice caps, shall we? The Kickstarter ($10), with rum, espresso, coffee bitters, and a twist of lemon, is basically a sneak attack in a glass. Dark, mysterious, topped by a nice thick layer of foam, it'll get you going when it's 1 a.m. and you're still out for some reason (I reckon it'd be a pretty excellent brunch cocktail, too). They make their Old Fashioned ($10) the simple, correct way, and they use Bulleit Bourbon because they're awesome and they know what's up. Also excellent is the Smoky Mary's ($10), a delightfully smoky margarita enhanced by an alder smoked salt rim (fun fact: alder smoked salt is the bomb). And you better believe their wine and beer list has some serious, affordable excellence going on, with selections from Troegs, 21st Amendment, Sly Fox, and Founders, and nary a glass of Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio to be found. Because I am a stalker, I did some research and discovered that one of the owners (who I believe was our server; that's dedication) has some serious knowledge about farming, agriculture, and vegetables, so you know the food is legit. With our cocktails, we enjoyed the Burratta Bruschetta ($7 - easily shared amongst the 6 of us) and the Baby Octopus ($9), which was my favorite, even though I felt a little guilty eating it and its soothsayer powers. The menu is a good mix of small and large plates and chock full of seasonal and local ingredients. The Brunch menu looks amazing too - it strays far beyond the typical brunch fare, with offerings like a Duck Club sandwich ($18) and Pork Butt on a Biscuit with a poached egg ($12). Um, yes, please, give me that and three Kickstarters and we can call it a day. (PS, not actually a stalker, all this info is available on their website). And, FYI, I'm pretty sure this place is named Blueprint because basically it's a model for how every other bar should be (welcoming, affordable, with good food and excellent cocktails), not because of any association with Jay-Z's sixth studio album. No offense, Jay-Z, your album is still the frog's knickers, but I don't want you stealing THIS Blueprint's thunder. read more

I needed a cure for my weekend exhaustion and Monday blues...Hello Blueprint! This classy cocktail joint features a professional mixologist (don't you dare refer to him as a bartender) serving many chemical concoctions to soothe what ails you. I was going to go for the Old Fashioned when I decided to go with the Expat instead. It is sweeter than the Old Fashioned and tasted good as a dessert after my light dinner nearby. My eyes were still open, and with a recommendation from a friend, I ordered a cocktail off the menu: the 1821 Manhattan (rye, vermouth, aged bitters, lemon, fresh rosemary). That went down so smooth and temporarily made me forget about about my modern day angst. read more

Absolutely delicious cocktails! I walked in on a Saturday night with a friend and was luckily able to snag two cozy seats at the bar right away. I ordered the Kickstarter for a blast of energy to start off the night - rum, espresso, turbinado, coffee bitterts, lemon twist and also tried the Dr. Juiceboy's Navy God - rums, grapefuit, lime, turbinado, allspice dram. My friend had a classic Dark and Stormy - dark rum. house made ginger beer. lime as well as the Kentucky Waltz - bourbon, ceylon tea, maple syrup. mint. All four cocktails were so tasty, definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.. especially the food! read more

I'm trying to catch up on reviewing some spots that I've been to that deserve excellent ratings. Since it's been many months since I've been here, I don't remember exactly what I had, but I do remember that the *experience* was phenomenal. Ambiance is perfect. Cocktails and food are very high quality. Go here for a really special night and you will not be disappointed. My boyfriend and I talk about our experience here all the time, and it has set the bar high for eating and drinking out at other similar establishments. read more

Came here for a drink with some coworkers. I looved their dark & stormy. Their homemade ginger beer was delicious -very fresh! I would like to come back to check out the other items on their menu. read more

Been coming to this place for years. Great place for cocktails, decent size bites and a very friendly staff. It's hard to find consistency overall in most establishments. But Blueprint has been over and beyond for years now. Great place for a date, alone time or groups of people. read more

Blueprint - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Definitely a fave of mine. Delicious small plates, well crafted cocktails and great staff.

Amazing cocktail spot! The atmosphere has the perfect lighting and classic old-school decor. The people who work there are super friendly and make kick-ass drinks. Also the chocolate bread pudding is amazing!!! read more

We had a drink on special -- watermelon, tequila, jalapeño -- that was tasty but not ultimately that special. We also ordered pizza that was not super exciting. read more

This bar is fantastic. Beautifully crafted drinks made by friendly upbeat bartending Pros. The food is great too. And... The atmosphere can't be beat. I'd highly recommend it. read more

Really a very pleasant happy hour! Tasty snacks, good choices for wine at the happy hour price. I watched bartender Jeremy mix up some great looking hot toddies. Will be back with friends! read more

Totally awesome specialty cocktail bar. Definitely worth a stop if you are interested in places similar to Clover Club in Cobble Hill or Dead Rabbit in FiDi. I only had appetizers here but I will say that I definitely recommend the "House Plate" charcuterie board -- extremelyyy generous in portion and delicious. My boyfriend said that the kale slaw salad was one of the best things he has ever tried. I love kale too, but I am not a fan of coleslaw so this dish was not for me. Looks like they also have an outdoor area too, which I am sure is lovely during the summer! read more

Only have had drinks here, but the bartenders are on point. They were delicious and the place has a very inviting feel.

Prime cocktail spot. I loved the Smokey Mary...definitely worth getting if you are into smokey drinks :-). It seems like it will always be packed during peak hours, my friends and I were very fortunate to get some righteous seats - I would not bet on it though. Excellent service as well and nice vibe in general. One may think it's a snooty place but did not find that at all..fits well into the Park Slope area. read more

We happened upon this place as it is one of the few brunch places in park slope that is open past 3pm - and I'm so glad we did! Cocktails were all very creative and served in generous portions, and the food was unique and delicious. One star deducted because I would've liked to see a vegetarian dish on the brunch menu. There are a lot of varied tasty greens listed as side dishes, but it would be great if they were included with some brunch dishes. Besides that, I'd highly recommend the roasted brussel sprouts, pork butt with poached egg, and especially the "Kale Slaw" -- a kale salad with pine nuts that is delicious. They should offer a full-size portion of the kale slaw and plop a poached egg on it for a brunch dish. The bloody marys were superb as well. I will definitely be back to sample the cheese plates and other dinner menu offerings. Really solid place. read more

Blueprint was a much needed addition to the neighborhood. Fancy cocktail bar with great little food menu. Staff is so very helpful and attentive, space is charming, lighting is soft and sexy. I am just a straight up fan. Oh and two words - SMOKY MARY. great spot for a 1X1 catch up, date or a small group if you can grab a table in the front or back. Music is always on point. read more

This is such a winner. The front is loud and boisterous without feeling like a sports bar, the middle is a nice segue into the lovely back yard, a very romantic place to have a first date. Service was exceptionally attentive and cocktails inventive and well-made. read more

Nice cocktail bar finally reaches Park Slope! Music was a little meh, but otherwise, great vibe, excellent decor, reasonably priced classic cocktail list combined with few inspired additions. I really don't know what else the negative Yelper reviewers want from this place?! (except a better thought out playlist) read more

So I like to drink a good Old fashioned. The love and attention these guys put into their cocktails makes a difference. The food is high quality and I've had most of the items more than once. Week nights are laid back and the lights are dim. Friday and Saturday the pace picks up and gets quite busy with seats being scarce. It's a uniquely hip and lively place which I'd recommend without hesitation. read more

I gotta say, the bar is excellent. We went for happy hour, sat on the patio, the server was very helpful and friendly. The grapefruit drink was SO delicious and refreshing, the whole table ended up getting more than two... Each. The chicken liver mouse was surprisingly scrumptious - creamy and served with crostini yummy. We also had the pork butt sliders which were tasty and spicy - the bread was crispy... Too crispy some would say and maybe simple sweet buns would've served this better. Overall, great experience! Would recommend it and next time I think of happy hour I will surely visit read more

Homerun! It's so rare to see a place like this done right. Easygoing, elegant, unpretentious atmosphere. Delicious, inventive cocktails, warm staff, great service, and really good food. And it's not even very expensive. My duck club sandwich was off-the-charts good and I don't even think I'll regret all these fresh blood-orange cocktail concoctions even though I lost track of how many I had. Blueprint could be a neighborhood haunt or a destination. I hate to sound like an ad so I keep trying to think of something bad to say. But I give up. read more

This place is a neighborhood treasure. The people who don't get it, or don't like it, are exactly the kind people I'd rather not sit and have a drink next to. Excellent food, friendly staff, great drinks. read more

Cute place. Nice decor, friendly and attentive staff, well mixed drinks, reasonably priced & close to subway and other restaurants. Perfect place to meet a friend or two or have a pre-dinner drink with a date. Did not eat but for drinks, what's not to like. read more

Perfect place. Awesome dinner and drinks. Great environment. They need some stronger IPAs on the list but that's it. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. Ali is very good at his job, I'll be seeing you guys soon! read more

I had cocktails here and it was great. Specially the outdoor sitting was very pleasant. My cocktail was delicious and we had good service.
