As far as little bars in Brooklyn are concerned, this local on 5th Ave is a goody. It has great bar food, I particularly liked the squid and great drinks, plus the staff go out of their way to make u feel welcome. read more

Blueprint has great atmosphere and great cocktails. If you don't like cocktails, they have a good beer selection as well. But the real reason I'm writing this is because they have literally the best bruschetta I've ever had in my life. I want to order about 30 of them whenever I go in. It's hard to justify going to Blueprint for a full-on meal because their menu is small and most of their appetizers aren't good enough to order. Go for drinks, get the bruschetta, maybe a cheese plate. You'll like it. read more

Been here many times...great cocktails, good food, fun atmosphere, and the bar tenders are good at what they do and just fun to hang with.

What's very disappointing about Blueprint is the $7 burrrata bruschetta where you get one piece of bread cut in half. It's simply ABSURD to charge patrons $7 for one piece of bread with tomato sauce and cheese. It's angrily absurd. I give props to our bartender who consistently makes a great martini. read more

Good drinks. Cocktail happy hour a plus. Nice ambiance Food is good but a bit high priced for what it is read more

Great restaurant and drink menu. I made it in time for happy hour. The food is good too. Love the ambiance and the old fashion was great. The wait staff wasn't very attentive but had it not been for a great drink and great company I would have given three stars. I would recommend this place. Great after work spot. great for a first date. read more

Smelled like A1 Steak Sauce in there. I give it 5 stars.

Grown up bar with excellent drinks & yummy food

Surprisingly pleasant place to stumble upon when out walking through Park Slope. Good service, good food, and excellent drinks. read more

Unplanned brunch time cocktails. They are all good and made with top notch ingredients. No Micheledas though. :(

Perfectly concocted bevies & solid snacks that go way beyond "snacks". A good atmosphere as well!

This is a great place for a first date. The lighting is spot on, seating is well spaced, and the menu is delightfully intriguing. Also, the cocktails are masterful, including whole star anise in one! I had an anchovy dish that looked like a lump of anchovies on a plate but tasted incredible. read more

8:00 Saturday night. No tables to be had at Benchmark, Stone Park, Applewood, al di la, or Blue Ribbon. Strolling up 5th Ave. with two friends, we poke our heads into Blueprint. Surprise--some empty tables, no waiting! Our table at the back has 4 high stools--a bit uncomfortable but then this is a "gastropub" (I hate that word). 3 of us order the "Kentucky Waltz," made with bourbon and tea. A bit sweet for my taste but they seemed to enjoy them. Appetizers: butternut squash bruschetta with ricotta, brandade (a kind of cod mousse), and kale slaw are all excellent. For mains, we had 3 lobster pot pies and a rabbit pot pie. I didn't try the rabbit but the lobster pot pie at $16 is chock full of meat and an excellent value. Dessert was yummy apple bread pudding. We'll be back to try the meat and cheese plates and enjoy the friendly, no-attitude service. read more

Very chill place to get a pre or post dinner drink on their outdoor patio. Tried some of the brunch menu and it was amazing. Egg sandwich on a biscuit was fantastic. read more

I have been here three times and will definitely be headed back. The food is great. It is always well prepared and fresh. Be warned--the portions are on the small side and a bit expensive for what you get, but the deliciousness is worth every penny. The atmosphere is very clean and upscale and there is a garden to eat in out back. I highly recommend a glass of the Riesling or Gruner Veltliner. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place sooner. This is my favorite place to go in Park Slope. Besides the delicious cocktails, my boyfriend and I absolutely love the staff AND they play really good music at just the right volume. The place is always so clean and the bathrooms are nice which are both huge pluses but it's the laid-back, friends but not intrusive awesome personalities of the bartends/owners that make it our favorite place to chill and chat. read more

My favorite cocktail bar in Brooklyn. I almost come here every Friday night. The cocktails are absolutely delicious. The bartender and staff always greet us with a big smile. Makes us feel so special every time we go. I had the watermelon vodka the other day and all my friends loved it and ended up ordering this cocktail for all night. I also love the Cecily Parsley. The backyard is also cute. read more

Great hidden gem. Perfect for dinner and drinks or just for a nightcap. Music and vibe was perfect and the cocktails were amazing. The blood and sand is a must if your a drink connisuer read more

This place is something special the bartenders are very professional and talented the hummus with olives and pita is amazing the cocktails are perfect. read more

Love the cocktail selection. Interesting concoctions and nice pours. And the bartenders very friendly. The food can be hit or miss but it's good enough and not too expensive. It's never too loud and always cozy here. read more

Been here a few times. Drinks are great, place looks great, and the staff are very friendly. They have a cool little backyard too. Glad to see a good cocktail joint in PS. read more

Start with an a-mazing cocktail. Blueprint has classic options, but my personal fav is definitely the Smoky Mary. Don't let the care with which they craft each drink fool you. This ballsy 'tail is anything but precious! Boyfriend loves the Kentucky Waltz: think sweet tea all liqoured up, and the Kickstarter, a delectably puffed mixture of rum and espresso makes for the perfect cap to a nice late brunch. Which brings me to my next point... Finally a place in Park Slope with reasonable brunch hours. Skip the Saturday morning rush and baby carriage traffic of a Stonepark, where you have to roll out of bed and run out the door as fast as you can before they close their doors at 2. (some of us work late, girl) Blueprint finally has brunch for adults. Waltz in at 3:30, and be served brunch without a second glance. The space really opens up in the light of day. Eggs Benedict? Been there, done that; I prefer the breakfast buccetta at Blueprint. read more

Staff was nice...food was awful. Ramp/Asparagus pizza sounds awesome, but the dough was AWFUL...not cooked fully and no crisp at all. We also had the octopus which was extremely overcooked and rubbery. Cool vibe inside...but empty at 7PM on a saturday night. I doubt i'll be back. sad. read more

The drinks here are very good, about as good as it gets. When I come to the city I stop in whenever I can. Foods pretty good, but cocktails are the real specialty. read more

Blueprint is an absolutely magical place! The bartenders are great, responsive, friendly and an expert at their craft. I alternated between Old Fashioned and Dark & Stormy which were superb, plus a few shots on the side to help the night along. My friend ordered a customised Martini which they were happy to create and it was exquisite. The food there compliments their drinks in class and quality. Bruschetta and anchovies as a starter followed by rabbit pot pie and BLT club sandwich were memorable and highly recommended. The atmosphere is low key and classy. Low lighting, not too busy and great waitstaff helped to make my Saturday night a success. And where else in Brooklyn can you stop into a cocktail bar and happen to sit right beside a fellow Australian? Great coincidence and a great conversation and many laughs as the drinks kept coming. I'll definitely be back. This is one gem hidden in the centre of Brooklyn that no one should miss! read more

Great cocktails, very cute outdoor courtyard in back. Would happily go again!

The drinks, the customer service 100% on point, they go out of their way and i love the vibe and still love the vibe with some changes that have happened. However it is my #1 goto for tasty beverages and everything else. I simply love it ! read more

Came here on Monday and really enjoyed the music, but the drinks weren't anything special.

This is a terrific place. A little crowded, a little loud. But still very intimate. My date and I showed up at about 11 on a Friday night. (The kitchen is open until 2.) We didn't wait more than a few minutes for a high top. And it was worth it. The bartenders are artists and the drinks are amazing. The waitress recommended the "My Dear Julius" and I was not disappointed. It was one of the best drinks I've ever had. I'd go back just for that. But the food was equally impressive. We shared three dishes that were wonderful and concluded our evening with the Flourless Chocolate Bourbon Cake. And that was pure decadence on a plate. I can't praise this place enough. read more

Great service, really delicious appetizers. The octopus was perfect. The brussel sprouts were really well flavored. I was taking medicine, so I couldn't take advantage of the cocktails, so I'll have to come back and review again. read more

I used to come here when it was Long Tan, a casual and tasty Thai place. I loved it then because it was reliably good...and cheap! I love it now because it's classy, has excellent service, at least two (to be fair, I've only tried two) crisp white wines -- the Gruner and the Riesling, and a kick-a$$ caesar salad that I dream about. We've also tried the pork sliders, which are small but delicious, and I've had an awesome meat/cheese plate. I love the old-fashioned meat slicer, the servers' attire (and better yet -- their attentiveness), the garden, and just all of it. Oh, and definitely a good date spot. Definitely. :) read more

Great place to visit for happy hour. It's great for a date or outing with friends. I appreciate their collection of cocktails and samples. It's definitely a neighborhood gem. read more

really great spot in brooklyn for a causal night of cocktails with friends. their menu is always changing but the bar tenders can make almost any drink you request. the prices are decent and the drinks are amazing. i am a cocktail snob so if the drinks isn't good I WILL DEFINITELY LET YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. i had a mojito which i thought was really good and it compared well with places i've tried in the city! The next drink i tried was "the under study" which was a tequila, cucumber and mint based alcohol. however i must have forgotten how tequila tasted like because it was quite strong for my taste and i ended up passing it to my friend and getting the park and leisure instead. I really enjoyed the park and leisure, it was a citursy orange based alcohol with vodka and i prefer vodka over tequila any day so i would definitely order that drink again. their food menu seemed quite decent as well, if i wasn't so full from dinner i would definitely have tried the cheese and meat platter or the mushroom bruschetta. If you are ever in the area and in the mood for good drinks with great service definitely stop in here! read more

Felt compelled to write to counter the harsh negative reviews. I love my cocktails, but am neither a beer-only frat guy, nor an uber-analytical mixology drink snob, so maybe this place was just right for me. The drinks, and I only had 2 of the menu cocktails) were perfectly fine and well made in my opinion. The 3 bartenders there at the time were ALL friendly as soon as I came in the door until I left. One even saw me trying to figure out how to carry my cocktail, glass of water, and other stuff out to the back and immediately jumped to help, and carried the water out for me. Only "downside" if there is one, is that it does make an attempt to feel old-school inside, but something feels too pre-fab and new (still smells of fresh wood and/or paint). Nonetheless, this is a great place and the only bar in Park Slope I'd recommend for solid cocktails. read more

Great drinks, great service and good food. Enjoy myself every time I come here. Nice easy place for a drink with friends or the wife.

really wanted to try this spot out but the place was packed! would come back again for a second try .. place looked nice and kool.

i was clued into the newish spot from a friend in the bk dining industry. we were able to enjoy brunch at the outdoor patio on a surprisingly nice december weekend. the staff is uber friendly. i had the biscuit sandwich which was delicious. i'm not a huge fan of poached eggs, but did love smashing my sammie down to ooze out the bright yellow yolk. i'll be back to try the duck breast blt and pork butt. i've heard good things about that rabbit pot pie too. needless to say i'll be back. read more

great drinks, great bartender, good vibe, and low key - winner

House plate of charcuterie is a must! It was larger than our table. Bacon and Brussel sprouts pizza also delicious. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Great cocktail list. read more

I don't know why I have continued to return to this place when every time I do I end up disappointed and regretful. In fairness, their cocktails and wine are good, and their beer is decent. Their food is average, but the portions have shrunk while the prices have gone up. The real issue with this place is their service, specifically their bartenders. The past 2 times going here, my wife and I have requested to take our leftover food home, only to find out a few minutes later the bartender threw it out. I know we clearly asked to take it home, the bartenders nosy friend who was sitting next to us turned and looked when we did, and the bartender seemed to acknowledge this. Without fail, there always seem to be 'friends' at the bar, monopolizing the bar staff's time and attention. The couple beside us left because their order took so long- and it was just two small dinner appetizers when the bar wasn't busy. In the past, a friend of the bartender was sitting beside my wife, who accidentally bumped into her once, to which the friend rudely told my wife to 'watch it' and seemed eager to further escalate the matter. The bartender stood there blankly then gave his friend a shot...nice service. I'm really not sure where the issue lies, but I guess good help really is hard to find. Too bad, this place has the potential to be decent if only... read more
