    HAPPY CORK BROOKLYN STORE FRONT!
    Damani H.

    Happy Cork Brooklyn is a great shop for Black owned Wines and Spirits, and even have the hard to find Le KOOL Champagne!!! Great selections, and friendly helpful staff!

    This place is a cute little gem! They have a private room for parties next to the store. I attended a private wine tasting birthday party here. The hosts were very nice. They were prepared with games and really knew about wine. We all had a great time, especially the birthday girl. Afterwords we visited the shop and purchased some items. I was happy to know that majority of the spirits sold in the shop are from black owned sellers. Customer service in the shop is also top tier! If you're in Brooklyn or not, it's worth it to venture to this wonderful shop for an event or to try out some new spirits.

    Love Happy Cork! It's a Black Owned Wine and Spirits store. They also have a sister location, Happy Buds, which is a CBD and wellness shop. They have their own app and I frequently ordered from them at the height of the pandemic. They have a plethora of Black owned wines and spirits that they carry. Now that I purchase in store, I love that I'm able to discover new brands and get recommendations from employees. The staff is super friendly and did a wonderful job pointing out the Black owned brands to me since that's something I'm prioritizing this year as I build out my at home bar. I appreciate the fridge where you can but cold bottles if you're picking up something last minute for an event. They also have other drinks accessories like wine openers, coasters and playing cards. Love this addition to the neighborhood and Brooklyn and general. It's my go to spot for all alcohol purchases!

    One of my favorite places to go when I need a bottle (or two)! Whether it's for yourself or a gift, you can find some amazing liquors in this store. Black owned and they go out of their way to stock mostly (if not all?) black owned brands. I've never purchased anything here I didn't like. From wine, to rum, to whiskey.. there is something for everyone. Plus it's decorated so well & they include great descriptions by each bottle so you know exactly what you're in for. Parking is also relatively easy to find around here. Highly recommend!

    Nice selection. Well lit and popular items are refrigerated!

    Everyone in the hood is talking about "Happy Cork." My first experience with Happy Cork was delivery, I was super impressed with the packing and each bottle was separated by cardboard (Didn't happen often when I order delivery from other businesses... sometimes I can hear my bottles hitting one another as the delivery man brings them up the steps...not cool)! Happy Cork included a post card, actually an "thank you card," which included my name "thank you Letty and enjoy!" and gave me information about their hours, location, rewards program, and website. They also sent a follow up text to ask if I was satisfied with the order and delivery (OK)! This business is located in my neighborhood, Bedford Stuyvesant so I took the opportunity to visit. The same great customer service I received online was consistent in person. Great selections and friendly service. I'm so glad that I visited. Please visit their online store or visit if you're in the area. You will be thoroughly impressed.

    Support Black owned businesses This review is for my delivery Very impressed with the overall experience. From ordering online, which was user friendly and a discount on new online orders. I new exactly what I wanted, but also peeked around to what else they offered. My delivery came quick, tracking was on point. My wines came well packed with extra goodies, I love surprises! Popped the bottle open after a long week...perfection I was very pleased

    I discovered Happy Cork back when the pandemic was really raging. I loved it because I could order online and then just go and pick up my bottles, already packed in a bag with the cutest 'Thank You' note when I got there. I appreciated that their website had great descriptions of the wines so even though I couldn't ask questions to someone in person, I had a great info about what I was buying. Recently, I went in for an Esrever wine tasting and loved the vibe. Also, I love that it's Black woman owned/founded.

    This wonderful mwbe wines and spirits in bedstuy was amazing. Love love love it here. From the outside in from the ambiance to the energy it was so welcoming and beautiful. They have so many different assortments of wine all tagged with descriptions and price points. They also have plenty accessories such as coasters, wine bags, and flasks and wine decor and openers. So much to choose from felt like a kid in a candy store. I live in the other side of Brooklyn but I will travel just to come to happy cork. Great service beautiful decor and great ambiance please support this business... I'll be back

    Totally enjoyed stopping at this wine and spirit shop to pick up some wines I was looking for . I went in the evening and they were busy . Since they deliver, there were many people waiting to pick up the orders to deliver however inside happy cork they were efficient getting the orders out The owner was very pleasant, told me where everything was located by category and also told me she sold out of those champagne pops I was looking for ... No worries though as I found the McBride sisters wine I was looking for . Great selection of black owned wines here . I will be back

    The wine selection/variety is well packed, stacked, and organized just like how I love it. 1st time here at this place and I most certainly will be back to purchase more. I only went there for a Riesling tried it and I love it omg my lady loved it too so she ended up going to grab a bottle too all within the same day within a few hours after me. It was so cute because the lady couldn't reach the top shelf luckily I'm 6ft tall I was able to grab the Oh Schisti lol. I am pleased with whomever made the ambiance as pleasant as it was not too many liquor stores within this neighborhood looks as good as this one inside and out hands down this is the spot. I am very picky and selective on where I may purchase a bottle of wine or possibly rum. Love it love it love it I almost ended up driving pass it but luckily I laid close enough attention lmbo. I wouldn't be writing a review like this if I wasn't satisfied overall and I will tell friends and family about this spot. I wish this business nothing but success and prosperity in the years to come and may all their endeavors and goals reach the highest peek. Peace and love Yelpees and Yelpers

    Wine selection

    One of the reasons I came to Happy Cork is because of a wine. Particularly a sparkling red from the rapper Raekwon the chef. There were only a few Brooklyn places that were listed as having it in stock on the wine's website. However, I was searching through Happy Cork's website because I heard of the store before and by chance they had it. So when I was near the area, I had to go. Plus it is a black owned space It is located near the C train stop and closer to the B25. When I walked up to the entrance, I knew it was going to be a good time. Often times wine/liquor stores are serious by nature and by design. But Happy had a fun vibe throughout their selection of bottles. The person at the register was so sweet and not only helped me but knew exactly where the wine was for me to take it. The music was also good, not too loud volume wise but also enough to create an ambiance in the store that makes you want to dance a little. The main space was not the largest but it was open enough to walk and look at the wines without bumping into a shelf Also, I liked that they had a great selection of black owned wines. In other stores they might have 1-2 wines tops. But I saw multiple wineries represented through multiple wines each. Though the store is further than my typical area, they do have local delivery and I'm crossing my fingers that I'm in the range. Overall, you should definitely visit if you have the chance

He is the best mixologist in NYC. He danced with lemon slices cutting through pours of clear liquids from heights. He tossed and shook, and was precise and caring. A true artist. David made our night. The only reason I would ever walk back into this place is to sit at the bar and let David mesmerize me. FOOD: Broccoli rabe was fresh, but I needed a steak knife to cut through it. It was very al dente. Not cut properly, which is to cut crosses in the stems. Salad was fresh and crisp, high quality fennel and greens. Lovely. Agnoletti was divine. Home made. Focaccia very good with subtle flavors and just the right crust. Olive oil, good. The front of house staff was lovely, two ladies, and a friendly guy. Super lovely. Treated us like friends. Also the busboys were all gentlemen. I loved them. They brushed crumbs off the table with panache. The only complaint is the waiter was robotic, and issued rule after rule. No smile. EX: It was a freezing night. We wanted to order appetizer's first, and have a chance to look at the menu. He couldn't do that. "I need the whole order." Then one of us wanted to order the pre fixe dinner. "You can't do that. You both have to order it." He was very cold, a robot. To enjoy ourselves, we had to push through the horrible treatment. Too bad for the waiter, when I asked about the special pasta, he butchered the pronunciation, giving me a soft pitch to teach him Italian. I blasted him. C'est la vie.

Closed the night with the ricotta cheesecake -- soft, rich, and honestly one of the few things sweeter than me. Place has the vibe on lock. Decor? Classy. Environment? Smooth. Staff?

Let's start with the good - the service and ambiance were on point. I went on a Sunday evening around 7pm. It was busy inside, but since I was a solo diner I was seated immediately by the bar. The servers were friendly and attentive. Probably 3-4 different people checked in multiple times throughout the meal. Where I struggle is with the actual burger itself. As a non-resident New Yorker, for me $22.50 is a lot to spend on a burger and fries. It needs to rock my world at that price point. And it just didn't. I got the B&B Burger. The onion ring tasted like it had been refried a second time to make my burger. The bread was crumbly like it was on the verge of going stale. The actual beef patty itself was decent - good flavor. Usually I can overlook an okay burger if the fries are top notch, but these fries were under-seasoned and also 'just okay'. I also got a side of Chicken Tenders. These were good - no complaints here. I really wanted to like this spot, but not sure this would be a return visit for me.

I started walking northwest knowing I'd find something pretty good. Low and behold Brooklyn Burger and Beer looked like just what I wanted, so I walked in, grabbed a stool at the bar and jumped into their menu. What a difference a 1/2 mile makes! This place was perfect and its menu was choke full of bargains and bonuses. This place was cute; I mean the bar was front and center and was very impressive but the table seating was charming too. Their lunch menu has a great "build your on burger" which i had a blast doing: Burger Cheddar Cheese Bacon Grilled onions Lettuce Tomato Mayo / BBQ con The service was exceptional, the ambience was very "Taverny [sic]" and my lunch was delicious!

Went great with the honey and French bread. Most menu cocktails are average, but there is an "off the menu" selection you can ask for (mostly bourbon based, owner/bar tender creations).
