    I'm a huge fan of Fine Time! My partner and I often swing by while in the area before going to a show. My go to cocktail is the spicy hibiscus marg, and they also have Singlecut hibiscus sour on draft (can you tell I like hibiscus??). There is a large back patio and they have games too. Even better, they have a popcorn machine with old bay seasoning. Really solid spot to catch up with friends and definitely plan on returning!!

    What a way to spend a beautiful afternoon outside! Fine time is a neat little treasure in Bushwick with an extensive beer and cocktail menu (and they do their own infusions). My partner got a spicy marg and I got the white mezcal negroni on draft, and neither of us were disappointed. We grabbed some (free) popcorn and sat outside in their back patio to enjoy the lovely afternoon with our drinks and popcorn. They also have quite a few boardgames and Jenga (outside) so we enjoyed a little friendly competition of connect four as well. Service was friendly and efficient! Will def be back next time in the neighborhood!

    Drinks: 5/5 Ok the drinks here are SO cheap + delicious (seriously Manhattan could never)! I went during a Sunday afternoon and legit thought it was happy hour just looking at the original drink prices. Solid variety to choose from! Honestly, didn't know anything about the free popcorn so an added bonus! Service: 5/5 There was one bartender there when we arrived and they were excellent! I love my drinks on the sweeter side and they went out of their way to sweeten up my drink for me as well as re-make a drink at one point. They were also giving us the 411 on trivia which was much appreciated. Vibe: 5/5 Chill vibe as expected from your local dive bar. I didn't expect much because the place seemed pretty quiet on a Sunday afternoon but I wasn't complaining. The patio seemed to be popping though. We sat inside and there's so much to do from board games and shuffleboard. My favorite thing about this place are the old album cores on the wall and the polaroid pictures all around! Music was also on point the entire time we were there! Will definitely have to comeback one day for trivia!

    Let me preface this 2 star review with the fact that this is a local dive bar, so the entire menu is relatively cheap and there's a big selection of beer/drinks. We went on a Friday night to grab a drink before going home. The beer was so flat, there wasn't even bubbles. Like, colored water. We decided to just leave, because the bar was closing and we already paid. On our way out, we brought our drinks to the bar and mentioned that the beer was flat, and wasn't really drinkable. We weren't asking for a refund or even another drink, we just wanted them to know so they could put on a new keg for the next customer. The bartender was so rude, it was like we had offended her. It was super bizarre... We've been here a couple of times and the drinks were always okay and they have a backyard area (nothing special, just a few tables outside) but the bartenders were always sort of unfriendly. Overall, I love a cheap, affordable local bar, but I don't like undrinkable beer and unfriendly people. I would recommend walking a few blocks down the street to another local place.

    The frozen drinks are not all that great or boozy, but it is a happy hour that you cannot beat! I ate one million pieces of popcorn and they just kept bringing more and all night too. We came for a friend's surprise birthday party and it was a great spot for it. There's also a huge outdoor area in the back for benches and corn hole. It was a little too cold for us for that but I definitely would be into that for the spring!

    Their drinks are cheap and good. I had a can of beer and a vodka shot and that was 5 bucks. The margarita was good too. I didn't have one but they also have free hotdogs. They also have a popcorn machine. The only thing I didnt like was that our table was little sticky.

    Awesome interior, cool Wednesday night trivia, and bar games. What more could you ask for.

    Restrooms are atrocious. Drinks are decent. Music sucks it's a snooze fest and the bartender girl barely had any clothes on.

The music is at a low enough volume that you can hear your conversations, it doesn't get too crowded so you can spread out, even if you're in a large group. Downstairs, it's a lot tighter, with a DJ, dance floor, lounge seating area, and a much more packed and busy atmosphere on the weekends. I like ping ponging between both vibes when I'm with friends. Admittedly I've found the music both times to be too experimental for me. Confessing that makes me feel like an old person shaking my fist or at least shaking my head, misunderstanding what makes the youth tick. But I had no trouble twirling around the dance floor to this weird experimental music after throwing back a few tequila sodas upstairs. A few times while here my friends have split up into the group that wants to go downstairs to dance and the group that wants to stay upstairs and chill. It's relatively easy to navigate between both vibes, which I enjoy about this spot very much.

    Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

I've never ate here, but I recommend grabbing drinks during the summer months when they open the canopy. It's a nice rooftop feel. However, I went on a fall Saturday night and the place was completely empty. I walked upstairs and even wondered if the bar was open due to a chair blocking the entrance. If I didn't ask the waiter if they were open, I would assume they were closed and would've left. If it was near closing hours, I would understand, but it was 2 hours prior to it. Regardless, this place is great. It's extremely spacious and offers a high quality dining/drinking experience.

It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar. A perfectly functional though unexciting wheelchair accessible restroom is available.
