Clover club Is quite a nice spot. Great for a date with nice ambiance and a cool vibe. The service is quite nice, even though a bit slow. The octopus was really good even if quite small. The steak was flavorful but unfortunately it was a bit cold at the end. The Mac and cheese was definitely the star of the meal. A must have. The fries were a bit salty hit me. The desserts were amazing. Both the molten cake and bread pudding were so so amazing. Would love to try brunch and some other things on the dinner menu Finally the clover club cocktail was absolutely amazing!! 10/10
Stopped here for a quick drink before dinner! They didn't have a full food menu and only had apps and drinks but the appetizers did not disappoint. The arancini was amazing, especially with the green sauce. The crisps were also a great snack with the drinks. Service was quick and easy. They have limited outdoor seating and a quaint inside. Perfect for a quick pit stop drink and bite!
Clover Club is a trendy establishment; they're known for their bespoke cocktails. I ordered the Clover Club cocktail, and I enjoyed it because I love gin and egg whites. Their happy hour food menu is kind of small; but I did get olives, crisps, and half off oysters. I liked the crisps because they were fried in duck fat, and they had truffle aioli. I also ordered deviled eggs; my favorite was the bacon jam one. Their grilled octopus was good, and the tomato was flavored well. Now, there was something that I didn't like - the hot chocolate pudding. The cake was kind of burnt, so it was hard to eat and cut with a spoon.
This place has a nice vibe. It's very dark and the drink menu is fun. The steak frites was pretty good.
I've been here a few time since discovering this place. Service is a little slow even when it's not busy, and it does get crowded around dinner time. It's not a big space so it's gets a little cramped especially at 2-seated tables as they are very close to each other but i think small bars like that have its own charm. In the summer they have outdoor sitting and seasonal drinks (which unfortunately I missed on as I didn't try it right away and came back in the fall). During first visit, Our waiter was confused on the drink menu questions but it's pretty detailed on its own. Other times service was pleasant. Drinks are not big size and can be considered pricey but taste really good. Food menu has variety. Plating and portions size are on the fancier side and delicious.
A perfect spot for a pre-dinner cocktail with an extensive drink menu featuring eclectic elixirs such as the Rogue Wave, a frozen curaçao drink with pineapple and both Jamaican and Guyanese rum to help me cool off on a blazing hot Brooklyn summer evening. The bartenders are suave and sophisticated with excellent showmanship and service.
Really cool vibes. The green giant cocktail was very refreshing. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.
I last came here in 2012 and the drinks are still immaculate. The clover club was refreshing. The drinks were on point and i know that i can recommend this place to my friends and they will not be disappointed.
What a lovely date night spot! We came here on a weeknight and the space is dark and intimate. It was 9pm and I was excited that their kitchen is open until 11pm, so yay for that. We ordered a Clover Manhattan ($20) for her and a Bonfire Old Fashioned ($21) for him. Our drinks took over 15 minutes to arrive. When we asked about them, they said that they may have forgotten to put our drink orders in. When the drinks did come, they were delicious cocktails though. I loved that the Manhattan came with a side of aged Gouda, which was my favorite. The drinks are strong, which I liked as well. We also ordered some food which came out soon after. We had the Mac and Cheese with Smoked Bacon ($16) and Buttermilk Flatbread "Hand"wiches ($17). The Mac and cheese was yummy but I wished they used a different type of pasta. I did enjoy the handwiches, which came with two. I got one chicken and one steak and liked how they're on a scallion-like bread. This also came with crisps that completed the meal. I really enjoyed the vibe of this spot. Their food and drinks were all great and would order again too. Just a tad disappointed that they almost forgot about our drinks though, but I'd be back.
Regal, elegant, classic. Clover club is a solid, well run prohibitionist style bar that stays tried and true to the classics. Utilizing storied techniques, ingredients, and styles you will find the menu riddled with house cocktails that are reminiscent of classics. I got some chips, the tiger lily, and the boa constrictor. The crisps were great. Light, crispy potato chips with a creamy garlic aioli. A great savory snack to end my night. The drinks were great. The tiger lily is a mezcal crusher. Easy to drink, yet the funkiness of the mezcal still prevails. But, the boa constrictor was my favorite. An unlikely friendship has been born with bourbon and green chartreuse. Earthy and herbal with some bright citrus to help balance everything out. This is a drink I would order time and again. I highly recommend, even if bourbon is not your preferred spirit. The bartender was great. Chatted it up, and sold me on the crisps, lol. The bartenders definitely contribute to the classic ambience. Dressed to the nines and stirring drinks with precision. Walking through that door is stepping through a time machine. I storied bar, and for good reason. Put it on your list whether you're visiting or a local
I've been here a few times and I'm never disappointed. Most recently was Christmas Eve w/ my girlfriends. If you think people were in their homes w/ families...think again. LOL! It was a lively vibe for a group but definitely moody enough for a date. I definitely come for the cocktails. They get it right often...especially my go to, gin gimlet. We also had a few off the menu... - Blue Velvet - El Vaquero - Port of Call...all were tasty. We had to grab bites w/ said cocktails. We got the hand sammies w/ chicken & steak, deviled eggs, and fries. The bougie friend got her steak tartare...LOL! All good and definitely satisfying. I'll be back of course!
The clover club cocktail is all that it's famed to be...perfectly balanced and and refreshing. The patatas bravas is equally impressive dish that is savory comfort food heaven. This is your spot for brunch.
Spawned from the influential Pegu Club, the Clover Club proudly carries the torch with its roaster of Cocktails inspired by 19th century classics. This is a bar where mixologists take their art seriously by honoring the past while keeping an eye towards the future. It may sound snooty but the vibe at this neighborhood friendly place is chill. The staff are attentive and will welcome you with a smile. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to visit the Pegu Club so being the dedicated cocktail aficionado that I am, I was determined to come to the Clover Club on my recent trip to New York. We arrived on a Saturday night. It was hopping. Fortunately, we were able to snag the last 4 seats at the bar. Talk about perfect timing! The ambience is beautiful - reminiscent of the prohibition era with its dark wood, exposed brick walls, tin ceilings, & leather chairs. Our night began with cocktails - of course! My sister ordered the signature Clover Club, mom a Cosmopolitan, my friend a beer, and since I had confidence in the bartender I requested a Sidecar. It's hard to find a good Sidecar outside of New Orleans. I tried a sip of the Cosmo & Clover Club. Both were delicious and perfectly balanced. My Sidecar did not disappoint. It was perfection in a glass! We also ordered food: Mac & Cheese, Steak Frites, and Roasted beet salad. While the emphasis here is on the cocktails, the food was just as fantastic. And, since we didn't want the night to end, we ordered another round of drinks. If you enjoy an elegant, well-made cocktail the Clover Club is your place. If I lived in the neighborhood, you'd find me here on a regular basis. I'm definitely looking forward to a return visit.

Came here for a birthday event and rented out the backroom. We went full 1920s prohibition for the theme, and it turns out we'd unknowingly picked the perfect building for it: Clover Club is named after an actual pre-Prohibition cocktail, first served at a Philadelphia gentlemen's club back in the 1890s, and the bar has anchored Cobble Hill since 2008 under a bartender who's since been recognized as one of the best in the world at her craft. The staff leaned all the way into our theme, dressed the part and serving period drinks to match, a level of commitment you don't get everywhere. Genuinely cool place with real character, old wood, low light, the kind of room that feels like it's been there since the era it's named for even though it hasn't. Location isn't the easiest to get to if you're not already in the neighborhood, which probably keeps it from being the scene it deserves to be. Diamond in the rough. We had a great time front to back. read more
Overall: I went here for a Friday afternoon happy hour with my wife. The happy hour itself was nice and they had some outdoor seating Food: 4 Drinks: 3 Service: 3 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Food: We got an order of fries. Nothing fancy, but good fries nonetheless. Drinks: The drinks were ok but had an egregious amount of ice. Not much of an actual drink. Service: Pretty average. They came by to check in on us and stuff came out in a reasonable amount of time. Value: Happy hour was good: half price oysters, $5 snacks, and $15 cocktails. The regular prices would be a bit of a stretch. Atmosphere: Nice outdoor seating was great for a warm day. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite and a drink here. They have a few options for bar snacks, more options for small bites, and larger plates. I ended up getting the deviled eggs which were so good. Each with its own topping. They included bacon jam, chili crisp, smoked trout and trout roe, and beet chip. Bacon jam was the fave. read more

Clover club is the jewel in the crown of Smith St. Friday night's happy hour featured a Moscow mule punched up with candied ginger and Penicillin, a whiskey based drink that goes down a little too smoothly. If you want a bite, their mac and cheese with bacon is a must. The level of attention their staff pays to ensure that you're taken care of even when there is a full house is truly impressive. The back room may have been reserved for a wedding, but the warm old NY vibes made us all feel like invited guests. read more
Going to Clover Club is like going in a mini vacation. You have the friendliness of the stars, the freshness and quality of the food, the atmosphere is perfect for a nice date night, the bartenders are super friendly and creative in making drinks, there is a nice Jazz band on Wednesdays, and it won't break your bank! There is never a time I went to Clover Club and did not have a great time. I think this is my 1st review on Google, although I have been here a dozen times. This place has not changed in going down, quite the contrary. You can also tell since many of the staff have been here quite a long time and they seem happy. My 2 go-to peeps here is Will and Mauricio! Not saying everyone else is not good. These 2 have been very consistent in offering menu items they believe is great. All the bartenders including Mauricio are mixologists. These guys know how to mix drinks. They have bottle there I never heard of but are incorporated into drinks for specific taste effects. Most of the time I usually order the Steak over toast, the Brussels Sprouts, and the homemade chips. I took a chance this time to order a burger and buttermilk fried chicken. Everything is fresh and delish! They have a nice happy hour menu if you arrive early, but skip anything. On Wednesdays, they have a live Jazz band who plays traditional early Jazz and these guys can jam! Don't forget to order the amazing bread pudding for dessert; it blows the mind in flavor! Just enjoy this place to the max!!! read more

A lovely spot for a birthday celebration -- stopped in for dinner and drinks to celebrate a friend, highly recommend! The space itself is cozy and the cocktail menu is super unique and fun. The Blue Velvet was really refreshing and yummy. The food was SO. GOOD. They have an eclectic mix of items, but generally are American fare. The Arancini was so good, and the Veggie Burger (especially the pineapple) was delicious. I'll be back again! read more

Stumbled here by random chance on a Sunday afternoon and was fortunate enough to hear the softest, coolest jazz while sipping cocktails with my baby. Amazing place. Amazing experience. read more
A fun cocktail bar with a lot of options to choose from! Pretty dark and it was loud but not too loud where I felt like I had to scream. Our waiter was great but it took like 15 mins to get 1 cocktail! My friend and I tried three rounds of different cocktails but my favorites were the clover club and we were both reaching for the golden firefly (spicy marg-esque)! I would just ask for it without the salt rim next time. The rhubarb spritz was a little too sweet for me but I would come back here and try the crisps that everyone was ordering! read more
Overall rating: 4.7 Super cute spot that seems to be very hard to get a reservation. I walked in for 3x people and it was 1hr+ wait also went at peak time on a Saturday, so not sure what I was expecting Definitely more of a date spot vibe than a group of friends. The Mac and cheese was sooo good that after I split it with my friends, I got another order that for myself a tad too expensive for me but such is life. Here's what I got: - Nice pear cocktail 2/5 -- can barely taste the pear. Eh, not a fan. - Mac and cheese with smoked bacon 6/5 -- SOOOO DELICIOUS AND 100% worth it. - Steak over toast 5/5 -- goood but not sure if it's worth the same price as a burger that would be clearly more filling. All in, I paid $70 with tip. The server was sooo friendly and helpful which I really appreciated. I kinda had low service expectations for a place that looked like this and was very crowded. I definitely want to come back and try it on a Wednesday for Jazz Night! Highly recommend. read more
Drinks were really good! Long cocktail list so you have options with your choice of liquor. Pretty dark, but the fireplace is cozy to sit next to with a drink. Service is a little slow, but friendly! Great place to grab a drink and chat that's a little more elevated than a usual bar! read more

I've made many clover clubs in my life and I wanted to try it at the bar that is named after it. The clover club cocktail is a drink that was created in Philadelphia even before Prohibition. This bar was ranked one of the top bars in the world and is the sister bar to another top bar Leyenda across the street. My first drink was the clover club ($16) which I had to order because it's their namesake drink. It was delicious, easy to drink, and the egg white added a nice texture. I asked the bartender how many he makes a night and he couldn't give me a number and said, "A lot." My second drink was the pineapple smash ($15) which was a sweeter drink from the pineapple. I noticed that they add the green chartreuse as a float on top versus in the drink and the bartender said it makes the drink more rich. They also have happy hour Monday through Friday 4-6pm along with a large menu selection for dinner. Between the drinks and the food I could see this as a place you spend all evening having a good time. read more

Decided to try this place for brunch on the weekend. Have been here before for happy hour and knew they had great cocktails. Food was just ok, ordered the crispy chicken which came on a biscuit with chili sauce and a side of chips. Chicken was a bit tough and biscuit was soggy. I recommend going during the week instead, they have great happy hour specials on small bites and certain drinks. read more

What a good local spot. Sometimes these smaller spots can be hit or miss this one was a hit. I arrived there around 6:30 which is very early if you're cool and this place was packed. Every seat at the bar was taken and nearly every table was also taken indoors. The waiting list was about 30ish minutes so I took a table outdoors. I chose a very strong drink or what we learned is I'm a wimp, but delicious. She gave me a side of cheese to pair with my drink which was very nice and very handy given my newly discovered weakness. My colleague ordered some food and quite a few drinks. To be honest the crowed didn't let up. It's probably a great place to meet people and hang out if you're local. If I lived in the neighborhood this would be my spot. read more
Went to Clover club for the first time after our dinner in Brooklyn, and really enjoyed the chocolate cake and the bread pudding. It was the perfect nightcap for our evening. The place was also really cute and would want to go back and have a full meal, the menu looked delicious. Also, love the overall, decor and ambience. It was a little speakeasy or jazz club vibe. I think it was just really cute. The staff and service was fine. We had a little bit of a wait for our table, but it went by really quickly. Definitely a spot to check out when you're in Brooklyn next. read more

My friends took me to Clover Club during happy hour and I loved it. The drinks were good and the fries were great too! We arrived around 5ish and we were able to get seated right away. Great service and good vibes. Overall a great place to grab a drink and some snacks. Will be coming back when I'm in the area. read more

I learned of this venue through the Netflix series "Drink Masters." Judge/Clover Club owner Julie Reiner mixed a Clover Club cocktail on the show - it looked delicious so of course it's the first cocktail that I ordered. The drink was luscious and well-balanced, like drinking a raspberry botanical garden! The steak appetizer was delicious and cooked to perfection. I finished the experience with their spin on a Negroni using mushroom-infused Campari. Very tasty, and a serious cocktail that warranted slow sipping. Friendly, knowledgeable bartenders. Prices were very reasonable for the quality received. The Clover Club was a better experience overall than the pretentious cocktail bars in Manhattan. Will definitely return! read more
