Good location but lipstick on the rim of wine glass. Vibes are chill, music good. Nothing too crazy on the menu.

Came here after spending the day in Fort Greene park. The bar had great music playing and the the environment felt extremely welcoming. We ordered a couple margaritas to start and were very disappointed. The balance of sweet to sour was not right. And the drinks were very bitter. read more

Dick and Jane's - two glasses of lemonade on a table - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is just a good bar. The crowd, and the staff are all friendly. The music is good. It's small, and comfortable. The cocktail list is also small, and the two I've tried off it are excellent, but the bartenders will also make you a perfect negroni, or old fashioned, or any classic you're interested in. They can also pour a very strong vodka soda, and I watched them make a gorgeous espresso martini, if you're into that sort of thing. This is the bar I wish I had a little closer to my apartment. However, I'm glad it's here, because it's the perfect spot for a pre or post dinner drink at any one of the excellent restaurants within spitting distance (Miss Ada, Evelina, Walter's, Olea, Colonia Verde, etc.). I'll be back to do just that. read more

Nice cocktail bar with a ton of outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered. The menu is only cocktails at typical NYC prices ($15). read more

Hmmm I really wanted to love this place but things were not running efficiently and we left a little disappointed. The ambiance is fantastic and it's definitely a place that would be great to visit with a group of friends for a chill night, so I'm more than willing to give it another shot. We had a late dinner reservation nearby so I looked up some bars in the area we could visit for a drink beforehand. Dick and Jane's had great reviews and there surprisingly aren't many other bars around. Walking up, this place just exudes laid back neighborhood hangout, which I could tell it was for some people. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and on nice days the window to the indoor bar space open up so it's an open-air situation. Outdoors, we saw groups of folks playing cards, reading tarot, plenty of other things. Indoors felt a little more intimate, dim lighting, good music. The issues came with a staffing peculiarity. It seemed there was maybe one server to assist folks sitting outside, but only one bartender. He seemed perfectly at ease which means he is either a mutant or very good at hiding his stress. There was a line to order drinks and he was trying his best to work methodically but the sheer number of drinks ordered backed things up considerably. There was a couple sitting next to us and one of them remarked that the business was leaving a lot of money on the table because of their current setup and it was a fair point. When we finally got to order our drinks, the bartender said he was out of both drinks we asked for -- it was probably only 8 or 8:30 so that was surprising and disappointing. The two drinks we did end up getting were just okay -- I got the freezer martini which was so-so, mainly because there were a bunch of ice chips floating on top of the drink which is not something I'd ever like to see in my martini. My partner got more of a highball situation which was serviceable but nothing special. Again, I feel it might've been an off night while we were here, but I need to review my experience honestly. read more

The space is tiny so it gets crowded fast. Weather provided sidewalk seating is fantastic, especially in spring or fall. Excellent cocktails and service. Perfect for a date, before or after dinner, or a nightcap after the train read more

Great neighborhood bar, good service and good strong drinks. Intimate bar and outdoor seating as well. Trendy laid back vibe. read more

One of the best bars in this area. I love the entire low lit sexy dive bar vibe? Drinks are delicious and a step up from your typical cocktails. Service is super warm, friendly and fun. You can tell the people that work their really like the bar and their regulars. 4.8/5 read more

Dick and Jane's - Window seats - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cocktails are not of the quality that I would expect for this price point. I also didn't find the bar staff that friendly or willing to engage. Ordered 2 cocktails and something caused both me and my partners stomach to be really upset about 30 minutes after leaving. We may have been unlucky but based on my experience I can't recommend. Also "the worlds best martini" is served from a flask pre-made. read more

Great spot with excellent service! The ONLY reason this is a 4 and not a 5 is because I've only had one drink there so far and I don't feel it's enough experience here yet to write a definitive 5 - but, I look forward to coming back here and trying more drinks so I can update that review. I forget the name of the drink I got but it was a strawberry like situation - tasty but I should have gotten a drink that was less sweet and would next time. It was refreshing though and again, great taste, but sweet for a big drink. The bartender was fabulous - a guy from Queensland, Australia who was just so so friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is for Dick & Jane's Bar Room, not the bar in Fort Greene. The vibe was really cool in here. It's the old Casablanca after hours spot. They did a great job with the place. Ambiance for sure. Great date spot or a place to chill out with a few friends. Drinks were great too. The only wish I had was for a wider selection of Japanese Whiskey but that's a preference of mine. Definitely going to return. I'll take pics next time too. read more

Stopped by Dick & Janes on a warm Sunday evening to round out the celebratory weekend following the end of the election. Dick & Janes has an exceptionally welcoming atmosphere -- they have several outdoor tables, both hugging the facade of the bar and in the enclosed street seating area. Most of the tables were full, and unfortunately we got seated next to the speaker which was playing music almost too loudly to hear our conversation. The bartenders were all dancing to the music, and overall looked like they were enjoying themselves, which made the experience that much more pleasant.  I started with the Banankakin Skywalker, which was lime, banana, cinnamon, white rum, and gold rum. I don't typically love rum drinks, and this definitely was a more summer-y choice, but given the weather I decided to go for it, and I'm glad I did. It was not overly sweet, and was well balanced with the acidic presence of the lime. It certainly was more tropical in taste, but the cinnamon notes added enough of an autumnal vibe to make it a truly perfect drink.  My second drink was the Divine Daisy, which was campari, grapes, lemon, simple syrup, gin, and soda. This was a lighter drink, and surprisingly a bit sweeter, but also had an incredible balance between the tart grapes, the acidic lemon, and the sweeter simple syrup.  Both drinks were some of the best I've had in recent history -- this is definitely an under-the-radar phenomenal cocktail spot in Fort Greene. I can't wait to come back for more drinks soon. read more

Dick and Jane's - Menu early November 2020 - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Dick and Jane's is one of my favorite spots. I always loved them, but they really thrived during COVID and keep putting good energy out into the Fort Greene neighborhood. While not too much room on the inside they now have a huge area devoted to patrons who are willing to be outside. While we endured the Cuomo bites they had P&J sandwiches which rocked. Now the outside is here to last and I can't wait for summer. Their cocktails are as good as anyone else's, and the beer selection is definitely above average. You can find some gems here. Then decide if you want to drink inside or outside. If having dinner on DeKalb, this is the top spot to hit up. read more

Still f*cking good. If Leo's working, give him a hug for me! Solid drinks, movie screenings, and masterful DJ'd music. read more

I've been here and this bar has survived and thrived through quarantine! Honestly very impressed. Small menu but very impressive and expensive. Something for everyone. Offer a $1 bun with cheddar, pesto or blueberry for the food item with alcohol. Cocktails are very nice and smooth but also do not short you on the alcohol. Great spot and will definitely patronize post Covid! read more

Cozy little cocktail bar. Romantic, even. Went on a bro-date, and was lucky enough to snag seats at the bar (the place is tiny and seating is in high demand). Had a couple of cocktails - the Russian in Kingston was a nice spicy vodka concoction. The El Camino was nice, but I just had a taste because I hate grapefruit. And the Roman King was delicious if you're into absinthe. Didn't get to try the Ginnamon, but it seemed to be a favorite. Next time! Bartenders were excellent and hilarious. Definitely stop on in if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Was in Brooklyn for the first time of my life with my BFF, and one thing I had never done before, that was go to a bar. Why not go to a bar in a famous city with your very best friend. Therefore I was coming back from a nail appointment emergency (spontaneously, a girls gotta have pretty nails lol, IDC if I am on vacation) my best friend picked this place, he was dying to go to a bar. We met here, and it was small, and incredibly dark. But when we got in, I loved the music, it was very laid back. We didn't sit we just stood. We shared four drinks together, each one got better than the last. I do not remember any of the names, I just remember one of them tasted like "PURE CUCUMBER" and I loved it. Next trip back to NYC I would surely stop here to get another drink, it's like you have to. And a plus out sightseeing all day, the bartender took my phone for me and charged it at the bar for over an hour so I was able to go back out and have fun. That was awesome for me. read more

Love this bar! Anytime I am in the neighborhood I make sure I swing by all the cocktails never disappoint! The bartender was really sweet and answered any questions we had. The Sunday happy hour is also awesome; $10 Cocktail $7 Wine $5 Beer Awesome! The Patiently Waiting Cocktail : If you like mezcal and tamarind get ready for a ride , this drink isn't extremely smoky but the combination of bitters and the sour of the tamarind with the hint of smoky flavor is hard to explain other than saying it's awesome! Be warned you can fly through them pretty quick ! The Steve McQueen Cocktail : I am a huge fan of elder flower but I do not drink gin and anyone who lets that stop them from ordering this cocktail would be a fool as I was! The pineapple, elderflower and herb syrup all come together so well that you don't taste the dryer side of the juniper from the gin, with the sprinkle of cayenne pepper it truly serves the drink so well! The smell when you tip your glass for a sip opens another gateway of flavor that gives this drink a 6 out of 5 stars! Will be back for this one! The Tijuana Twist : This was probably the least enjoyable drink for me personally but I am happy I tried it. I'm not usually a salt rim person but the seasoned salt is awesome. The chili syrup was a little too masking of the mezcal and tequila for me personally so I couldn't really wrap my head around the full flavor palette, maybe that's what it's meant to do but I would leave yourself open to trying it, the color is beautiful and it's def a step up from a margarita so cheers to trying something new but for me this cocktail was a 3 out of 5. The Castara Bay Cocktail: *Whips out sun hat and sun screen* . This cocktail was extremely extremely fun and screamed "GO ON VACATION !" I am not sure if the coconut rum is house infused or not the it smelled and tasted so fresh and light! I will say I didn't get much of the sorrel flavor but I think that is an amazing touch to have in a Brooklyn cocktail bar, the bitters also weren't recognized but overall the flavor was good. I'm not a rum drinker personally but I would so come back on a spring/summer day to have this and the garnish is beautiful!! 4 out of 5 stars for this cocktail. Again this is one of my favorite cocktail bars, I also love that they don't give you straws unless you ask #SaveTheTurtles However I do wish some of the cocktails in the coupe glasses had garnishes but 5 out of 5!! Be sure to stop by whenever you're in Brooklyn and Thank You for reading my review on Dick and Janes ! read more

I've been in the industry for 20 years. Managed. Served. Bartended. Still serving in a Michelin starred restaurant. Everyone was wonderful there except for one bartender who was an absolute and complete ass. As I left. I heard him say, I couldn't fucking take it anymore. What a jerk. The appropriate response, I'm so sorry, we're closing for the evening. Thank you for coming in tonight. Fire him, ruined my night. Seriously. Jerk. Embarrassing. read more

I came here to round out a bachelorette party with a handful of girlfriends. We somehow snagged the seat in the corner, which was thankfully near a huge fan. Boy, was it hot and sticky inside. And loud. This is a tiny spot. It's dark, and the bartenders seem a bit disinterested. There are two beers available, but the cocktail menu is a bit more robust. Not my scene but is definitely a happening place. Great for people watching. (Who wears leather jackets in the dead of summer?) read more

I love everything there is to love about this place. Its small and unassuming but the drinks pack a punch...the atmosphere is perfection and the staff are killing it. Great spot for a date. The night I was in there, not on a date, I was the only one that wasnt. Its dark and chill so I suppose it sets itself up perfectly for that. I tried 2 drinks. The spicy cucumber vodka number was the one I would go back for. It was refreshing and tasty. Check the drink board on the wall and give it a whirl. Really tasty. read more

Had a drink at Dick And Jane's on Wednesday night. A cool atmosphere and solid cocktail list make it a great choice for drink. Quality: Stopped into Dick And Jane's for a drink at the end of the night. They have a short, but solid cocktail list, as well as a full bar. I ordered the S'what I'm Talkin Bout and the Rosey Perez. The S'what I'm Talkin Bout had tequila, grapefruit, chipotle, simple syrup, and nutmeg. A little too citrusy with the grapefruit, but still an enjoyable drink. The Rosey Perez had white rum, rose syrup, egg white, lime, and bitters. It was fantastic and I was close to ordering a second. Quantity: Excellent drinks and they had a kick. Value: $14-$17 for the different Cocktail options. Ambiance: Dick And Jane's is a cool little cocktail bar in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn. They have a covered outdoor area that was built during COVID, but inside is where you want to be. The cozy, dimly lit bar has an awesome and friendly vibe. There are seats along the bar and window, and a few tables towards the back wall. The music was all Justin Timberlake until it switched over to all Usher. Guests were dancing and singing along, everyone in a great mood. Crowd: It is a relatively small space, so even a little crowd made it feel lively. Service: The bartender was fantastic and having a great time. I love it when the staff seems to be having as much fun as the guests. Parking: Limited street parking in the nearby area. read more

I'm primarily a wine and cocktail person so I'm a little picky about my bars. I want a real, nicely crafted cocktail (not a mixed drink, a cocktail) in a place that doesn't smell like stale beer, despair, and sweat. I also like a small place that encourages intimate conversation as I'm usually catching up with a friend or two and would like to actually hear them. Some interested and well-curated background tunes are nice, too. Basically Dick and Jane's checks off all the boxes. Tasty cocktails made by nice bartenders, good vibes, eclectic crowd and it's just hidden enough that the bro/d-bag contingent tends to stay away. read more

Overall, I enjoyed my time here but didn't love the drinks. The space itself is small with a good crowd (we were there on a Sunday night of a 3 day weekend). Music was great and it's a fun atmosphere. My husband ordered the martino, which was tasty, but not enough to want a second. I ordered the golden owl - which was really mediocre. I love most bourbon/rye/whiskey drinks, but this one tasted diluted with soda water. It was better after squeezing lemon into it, but not what I was expecting or hoping for... would recommend this place, just not this drink in particular. read more

So I've been here pre-COVID in the winter and it's super cozy and small inside. I recall the drinks being a bit better then, too. This time around, fun outdoor sitting. The cocktails (sorta pricey) in the plastic cups are obviously less charming. The drinks were good but not great, and for the price point and plastic cups, I was a bit underwhelmed. But a very solid neighborhood jaunt. read more

I'm not sure of the vibes before COVID, but currently it is an "order at the bar, sit anywhere". It was nice to be able to have a drink with a friend and hang out outside. I ordered their Gingerbread cocktail. It was pretty good and reminded me of Christmas.It wasn't super strong, but it was tasty. I'll definitely will be back. read more

Great cocktails at great prices in a very cute setting. I came here on a date that didn't go as planned but I enjoyed my cocktails none the less. The decor is very minimal and romantic. The space is extremely intimate with maybe 20 seats total including the bar and some surrounding standing room. I ordered something similar to a mint julep and it was very tasty! They do not serve food but there is a lot of great food around so if you get hungry feel free to explore the area. The bartender working last night was so friendly and so nice I really enjoyed his presents and he made everything better :) read more

As I do know it is a tough time for the food and beverage industry during covid. I feel like it is only appropriate for me to voice my concern for the bar staff as well as the patrons. I was at the bar yesterday having a drink but I did notice that the bartender and the counter person was not correctly wearing a mask or face covering throughout the night. The counter person who took customers didn't properly cover his face ( mouth and nose) with the bandana. Which concerned me as it is a health hazard to the customers and himself. I would hope that the business owner would be more strict about proper precautions due to covid and hopefully manage the staff to be more careful. As I do enjoy coming to dick and Jane's for drinks I just hope next time it'll be under more safe conditions read more

Atmosphere: tiny and intimate! Very narrow walkway with some seats along the windows and a few couch seating areas towards the back of the bar. Bartenders very attentive despite it being busy on a Sunday evening. However- LOUD MUSIC. Couldn't hear anything my friend was saying so we had to leave after our first round. Drinks: crafty. We went off the menu and had Old Fashioneds based on a Yelp review reco and they crushed it. Cocktails will set you back $13 of you don't get the happy hour which they offer both weekdays and weekends. $8 happy hour cocktails if you make it in time. Weekends is 5-7PM. read more

Cute bar that you could totally pass and not even realize it. Hidden in fort Greene, this place provides an intimate atmosphere for friends to get together. Nice vibes and music. My only qualm is the $14 cocktails. They are good but hurt my pocket with the price. Would come back again read more

Oh, the good ol' days. Per my previous review (the first!), this place used to be awesome. I never had a bad experience here in my year and a half living in Fort Greene. I am in town for the weekend and I'm hitting up my very favorite spots. When I arrived it was quite crowded as one would expect at 9pm on a Saturday. I took a look at the menu and it's much shorter than it used to be. It used to be 4+ pages divided up by different types of liquor. Now it's just one. Nothing really stood out to be so I decided to ask the bartender for something off menu. I was acknowledged quickly and began to explain that 5 years ago I used to get a cocktail with bourbon, lemon, and a cherry liquor... and it was clear that the bartender was not interested in hearing any more. With a smile on his face, he asked if there was anything on the menu that I wanted. I told him there was not. And so I left. I guess nothing good lasts forever. Pour one out for the good ol days at Dick and Jane's! read more

Dick and Jane's - BY BILL ROUNDY for The Brooklyn Paper - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cute little place. We got here after dinner next to it, and we were happy to find a cute place with a cute bartender that makes great cocktails. The place is not big, and you can seat by the bar, by the window that face the street (Which is actually kind of cool) and have cocktails where the music is not too loud, and the feeling is what a great place place to have drinks on one of the last summer nights in Brooklyn. I love discovering new places by accident, and this one is a very nice surprise. read more

RE:Adelphi St. D & J - July 6, 2021 - I like and appreciate Adelpho D & J and I'm a neighborhood, every evening regular customer. I've gotten my sunset drink while walking my dog every night D & J were open...that's almost every night since March 2020 at $10/.drink and I always tip. Tonight I forgot my wallet and went to pay for my drink with my phone, which I thougtht D & J accepted from me in the past. I offered to bring the $10.00 cash by tomorrow, instead I was told, "Ok for tonight, but now you know." I am offended by the lecture, and you should worry about your "face" in the neighborhood, as you have 2 businesses here. I may come back to D & J Adelphi again, but strictly as a last resort. Our neighbors do not act like thils. Please bring your gratitude every day. read more

There are a few things that bring added joy to my life. Not having to be up at a set time in the morning, a perfectly toasted hotdog bun, and a well made cocktail. And the later is finally available in Fort Green! Dick & Jane's Bar with it's candle light, exposed brick walls, tin roof, long dark bar, and perfectly sized bar stools is a dream come true to anyone who enjoys the pleasure of a good cocktail. I've fall so hard for this place recently I'm torn by even writing a review and sharing this great place with the masses. But I just have to. The menu is extensive filled with age old concoctions and a few new age wonders to have you almost foaming at the mouth. You won't be able to order just one, or one type either. I highly recommend the Whiskey Fig Fizz. Made with 15 year scotch, fig jam, egg whites, and bitters. It is a dreamy, foamy, not too sweet treat, that makes you pull your bar stool just a little closer to the beautiful ladies serving up these drinks. You might fall in love. The Elk House Fizz and the Ward 8, are also pretty tasty. Plus, if you feel like sticking to the classics they make a mean (in a good way) old fashioned and a perfect sazerac. Plus, they play my jams here. 90s Jams that is, how can you not fall in love! read more
