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!

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

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!

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

Esrever Wine Tasting

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

Wine selection
Kamara S.

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

Purchase area with some compact  selection's
Aaron S.

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

Since we live in the area, my Fiancee and I pass this place almost daily. As part of our Bi-weekly…read moreAdult-only weekend, we decided to do a Saturday Night date night and popped in here for the second stop on our neighborhood bar crawl. Suffice it to say, since I've moved back to Brooklyn after 20 years in Queens I've been YEARNING for a place like this. If you're truly GROWN & SEXY (physically & mentally) this is the place for you. I've read the other reviews and I have to agree: 1. Judgement-free zone - No posing, no wallflowers, no tons of Nicki/Cardi look-a-likes, No thirsty vultures. Personally I get tired of going to places where people have hidden agendas to snatch your significant other from under your arm, so it was refreshing to not feel that. We were free to be us, drink, mingle, and dance without our spidey-senses on fleek. People are here to have a good time. THE CROWD IS REAL. 2. Good/Cheap drinks - I had 3 Glutenberg Red Ales and my lady had 3 spiked rum punches. Plus I bought a drink each for 2 ladies that were dancing with my Fiancee and I. Total bill was $67, which averages to a little over $8 per drink. Typically I spend $150-200 at other clubs/lounges for the same amount of drinks and less buzz. AFter our 3 drinks each, we were good! KPH DRINKS ARE ON POINT. 3. Electic Music - We walked in to the DJ playing old school R&B. Throughout the night the DJ hit us with more old school R&B, Hip-hop, Soul, New School Rap, some Reggae and Afrobeats. The diverse music selection kept people guessing what was spinning next. We vibed out to the tunes and at a point I serenaded my Fiancee and danced in a circle surrounded by her and some other ladies. If you're looking for the same DJ with the same playlist, this is NOT the place for you, but if you're looking to take a trip down memory lane to simpler times, THE MUSIC IS THE MESSAGE Other things we liked: 4. No cover charge-free ninety-nine is the best price 5. No Security Guard-People are there to have a good time, not to fight. It was refreshing not to have a big and burly bouncer at the door. 6. Plenty of seating - They have long leather couches and little round seats. We could have rested, but our dancing feet wouldn't let us. LOL 7. Attentive bartender - I did not have to wait long for our drinks. The bartender was constantly scanning the bar for waiting customers 8. The DJ - If you're old school, you know who DJ Cut Creator is. Yeah he was the DJ that night. That said... If love is a house, our new house is Kingston Public House! We can't wait until our next date night/neighborhood bar crawl.

Intimate neighborhood bar where the happy people go. Recent…read moreupgrades and freshening up of the interior makes all the difference. Huge beer selections, both on tap and bottled. Great drinks No kitchen but you can bring food and snacks from all the nearby restaurants.

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 last ate here almost a year ago . . . in January. I was going to go to one of my regular spots…read moreand it was overflowing, so I redirected here . . . so glad I did! As I said before, this is a community spot. Everyone here is relaxed, having a long, leisurely, European style meal. I had a small board, chef's choice. I requested a fromage board, but got a charcuterie board . . . and that's okay, as I was lucky enough to get some tasty prosciutto. The cheeses ranged from chunky and savory to creamy to tangy. 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). I enjoyed working with my server to get try some more unique choices. Between the charcuterie board, the bourbon drinks, and the boeuf bourguignon, the meal was great. I will say the boeuf bourguignon wasn't quite as wowing as last time . . . no pearl onions or carrots . . . but still good. I'm pretty sure the menu has changed or is maybe smaller. But no matter . . . the mood and the welcoming atmosphere and lack of crowds makes up for this. I think I might return and try the French onion soup. I'm sure it's killer.

Came here for dinner but was pretty disappointed. The service was very attentive and I have nothing…read morebad to say about that. Our waitress came over to check on us numerous times throughout dinner. The foie gras was under seasoned and didn't taste like much of anything. Both the beef and chicken were very homey dishes but yet again, under seasoned. The mashed potatoes could use more butter and some salt in the food would've made all the difference. The place itself is pretty cute with a lot of local artwork. We probably won't be back
