01/14/23: Cute sports bar in Bed Sty neighborhood. Can only comment on the bar area as it was stated only one server so my friend and I could it go upstairs. Greeted upon entering and seated immediately. However once seated took a while for someone to take our order weird because beside guy at the the bar we were the only ones there. Anyhow once server came over very friendly and orders were placed. Drinks We had the Frozen Sorrel Ginger with shot of Wray n Nephew. It was pretty sweet as a result asked for seltzer water to water it down. No bad afterwards. Food Veggie spring rolls. Nothing spectacular but still good. Purpose Pasta with shrimp. Definitely on the spicy side. Very flavorful well seasoned and nice size portion. Ate half and just finished the other half at home. Blackened Salmon Sandwich My friend thoroughly enjoyed. I sampled a piece it was ok, but to be fair as I cook salmon frequently at home I prepare it Jerk Style so another method is bland to me. Liked the fact we were not rushed we literally were there for about 3 hours catching up. As evening progressed more patrons arrived and the football shenanigans commenced. FYI. 15% gratuity auto added to your bill. Would probably return to try other items. All in all quaint neighborhood hangout spot. BTW..bathroom is pretty clean for a bar. read more

Made a reservation for saturday to sit upstairs. When i walked in, i spoke to the bartender, and she said to sit anywhere; then the hostess came. The music was bumping. It was me and my date at first, and it was quiet because we wanted to hear each other. The waitress was very attentive. I ordered the honey jerk wings, which were good, but the jerk needs to marinate on the wings longer to bring out the taste. I also ordered the Purpose Pasta with shrimp added and the frozen sorrel ginger. The sorrel was a little too sweet but good, as was the pasta, which was very tasty. My date ordered the burger, and he said he liked it. Then other people started coming upstairs. There's Tvs on the second floor, and i like that the music could be heard on the second floor as well; the TV is a distraction but thoughtful. And it was cold upstairs, so maybe some heat would help. I would probably visit again to sit at the bar and to eat. read more

A few things to consider in my review: Food, Service & Ambiance... Well ladies and gents (or however you choose to identify) This place gets a 10/10 for all three categories! We had a group of 14 two weeks ago for my mothers 82 Birthday and we truly enjoyed every thing. SADIE (one of the managers) is such a beautiful soul! She took care of us and made everyone feel like we've known her for years, she made us feel like we were her family. Our wait staff was amazing and special shout out to Gabby for having THE BEST personality, smile and positive energy!! Everyone was so accommodating and professional. The owner even came down to greet us and to wish my mom a happy birthday which was really sweet. Now I would not be honest if I didn't mention we had a minor snafu with a few dishes that took a while to come out BUT we didn't care when the food finally came because the dishes were cooked to perfection. The kitchen was overwhelmed because it was Sunday Brunch and downstairs was JAMMING so it's no wonder it took some time. We occupied a semi -private room on the 2nd floor. I say semi since there are two large openings on either side of the door which you can actually step through but it was very accommodating. It allows you to still hear the music downstairs but it can be hard to hear if you're trying to give speeches or say prayers over your food. Again this was during Sunday Brunch, so I'm sure you understand what i mean because music was BUMPING!! That DJ was doing his THANG! They have a beautiful "grass" wall that you can take pictures in front of and the space upstairs is excellent if you want to you have your own group of people meet up to have dinner and drinks there. Some Brunch suggestions: Shrimp & Grits Bake and Saltfish Chicken & Waffles I look forward to going back and trying EVERYTHING on that menu because whoever they have cooking in their kitchen is BLESSED & HIGHLY FAVORED! read more

IV Purpose - Good Vibes grass wall and my mom for her 82nd Birthday Celebration Brunch! - Sports Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

(Last visited 4/10/2021.) In New York City hanging out with some friends during the weekend and we wandered into Brooklyn. One of our friends suggested this place because it's black owned and had some good reviews so here I am to add another one! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is so modern and chic. I love it. Brick exterior, with the name right above the entrance. There are also quite a few tables outside for you to dine at while enjoying the warm summer months. Inside is just as chic. The exposed brick works so well for this place. The décor is simple and there are 2 levels for you to dine on in case one is very busy. The bottom level is mainly for the bar area. Service: I can't remember the name of the guy who took care of us, but he was awesome. He had such an addictive personality and was so much fun. He took care of us and made sure we had everything that we needed. Food: I'm here for the wings! I really need to start eating other things, but how can you deny wings?! Lol. So I had the chance to try 2 different flavors, their Buffalo and their Lemon Pepper. Both were very good, but that Buffalo was superior to the lemon pepper. Value: So for $12.00 you get 6 wings and a side. That side can be fries or a salad. I think that's actually pretty solid for New York City prices AND during the "Great Wing Shortage of 2021". Very decent pricing here. In conclusion, this place was awesome and I'm so happy that I got introduced to it! Check this place out if you're in the area.

Great place to watch football! You can sit outdoors or inside and watch the game. The bartender is friendly and courteous! The salmon dinner was very good! The regular French fries are great with a beer or two. The bathroom is clean. The crowd is into the game. Glad they are in the neighborhood! read more

Came here for brunch and had a good time. I was with a large crowd so the service was exceptional and the food was great. I had the wings and a crispy chicken burger and it was both great. Definitely loved the ambience and the staff and looking forward to coming back here once again. read more

Loved the food here! I got the oxtail sliders, which were delicious, and the fries were also amazing. The wings were good, but a little small. The drinks were way too strong, and the food is a bit over priced. The service was kind. The place is a sports bar vibe, with upstairs seating and bar seating as well. Overall, I'd come back for the food because it was delicious! read more

Went here on a Tuesday for happy hour. They have indoor and outdoor dining. Was easy to get a table upstairs. The waitress was friendly and patient. Happy Hour ends at 6pm. We ordered a coconut mojito ($9), frozen drinks ($5), lemon pepper wings and tamarind BBQ wings ($5 for 6). Seems to be a neighborhood favorite. Typical sports bar with ESPN playing. I really enjoyed the lemon pepper wings and the frozen Sorrel ginger. The lemon pepper wings is a dry rub and full of flavor.. I want to try the oxtail sliders next . Reasonably priced. Gratuity was included in our bill. read more

The pictures online do not represent how this place really looks! Chairs were torn dingy atmosphere, they did have several TVs for sports fans. Street parking was limited on a Sunday at 4:00pm Our server was friendly and tried her best but she had a lot of other responsibilities besides the tables. Food was not very tasty, we had oxtail sliders, salad was the best part, alcoholic drinks were not up to standards poor quality liquor in the rum punch. There are much better spots in Brooklyn! read more

Stopped by this spot because my daughter was in the area getting her hair braided & it was getting a tad busy in the spot & had to give up my seat. No problem. The music was pumping at IV Purpose & it looked like they were having a private event there. Popped in for a shot & to change my gear the first time around. Anywho, took my shot. The DJ was chilling on the right side spinning sweet reggae vibes & on the same side is the bar & high chair seating. There is upstairs seating where the private event was being held but I did not go. For a brunch, I had the shrimp & grits & it totally hit the spot! My daughter finished up her hair appointment & met there to grab bake & salt fish and that was delicious too. Caribbean vibes I can sink my teeth into. The service was great! The young man behind the bar was cool & efficient. I will go again & would suggest you give a go. The food is banging! read more

IV Purpose (Four/For Purpose) is a chic, sports restaurant on the super busy Fulton Street strip in the heart of Bed-Stuy. They opened in July 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. The prices here are very reasonable considering they are located in expensive Bed-Stuy. My appetizer (six wings with two handfuls of fries) was only $10 and felt like an actual meal. It also wasn't some bar food that was just thrown together. The food was well prepared and very tasty. I'm truly looking forward to returning and trying other menu items. I really enjoyed my lemon pepper wings. I had a craving for some and I took a chance when ordering. No two spots do lemon pepper wings the same. Some make them with the right amount of seasoning while other spots overdo it and the wings end up being salty. These were juicy, crispy and seasoned with just the right amount of lemon pepper. The fries were crisp and seasoned to perfection, ready to dip into some mayo (my fave). There's a $5 happy hour on all frozen drinks until 6 pm. After 6 pm they are $8. The frozen drink options are piña colada, rum punch, margarita and sorrel ginger. I only had the frozen rum punch and it was quite good. I'm looking forward to trying the others during my next visit. The only downside is their happy hour ends at 6 pm and if you want to take advantage of it you will want to arrive early (and not close to 6 pm). I went on a Wednesday and the outdoor dining area was all booked up and there was a small line outside to get inside to order from the bar and/or be seated upstairs in their dining area. The customer service is excellent as I was checked on several times by a few employees during my dining experience. I never had to track anyone down and any questions I had were answered with patience and no attitude. The staff is also serious about social distancing and I've witnessed them sanitizing tables after patrons closed out and left. The upstairs dining area is very clean, spacious, two restrooms and several flat screen TVs. I highly recommend this black-owned establishment. You won't be disappointed! read more

Visited Purpose to watch some NBA playoff games. Its a pretty unique sportsbar, because its a 3 floor house turned into a bar. Theyve got a good number of TV's so wherever you go you can catch the game. The staff seemed to be pretty green but they were really nice and the service was good. Im sure it will continue to improve. I started off with an order of fries. Pretty standard. It was sorta lame that I got ketchup packets instead of a bottle (maybe its a covid thing). Next I ordered a couple drinks. They tasted ok but honestly they were too sweet. Gave me a headache so I ended up drinking beer instead. Lastly I ordered the blackened salmon sandwich....man it was bomb! Everything on that sandwich was hitting. The side salad was whatever but I definitely recommend the sandwich. When things really open back up Im sure it will be an even bigger hit. read more

Bad service they wasn't around they was outside hanging and not inside Food bad not clean read more

Great local spot, with comforting customer service FOOD: #1 is the cripsy chicken sandwich and jalapeno cheese fries. I couldn't get a good pic because I ate the damn thing so fast. -Rasta Pasta is good -Oxtail Sliders, pretty good, I would ask for sauce. (like chipotle?) -Salad was fresh also -Awesome Maragaritas VENUE: -I prefer to sit outside (October), and with the pandemic they made sure we were cozy. SERVICE: -Awesome, the staff were super attentive in making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Also, so friendly. It made the experince exceptional/memberable. VERDICT: Honestly this spot has landed a place on my list of "go-to's", it's definitely worth a visit and the drinks are yummy! read more

It's a vibe. Great sports bar. Terrific owners. Respectful environment. The food is delicious and the frozen drinks are a staple. They offer outdoor as well as indoor seating. The bar tenders are friendly fast and knowledgeable. The place is great for crowds and sports lovers. Lots of interactions with patrons. I recommend this place if just for a quick drink or for a hangout to view the game. Did I mention the food is also great. The portobello mushroom burger with fries was amazing. Delicious and fresh, it was mouth watering excellent choice for everyone, especially vegans and vegetarians. If you're vegan just hold the Mayo. read more

Purpose is a neighbor gem. Everytinenibpassed by on Fulton st, the outdoor dining area is always full of people. The only time it is empty is when it's very cold and windy and still might have a couple of stragglers having their signature frozen drinks. We had the private room upstairs still social distancing between people and tables. You would never realize how good their food is. Had the wings, rice, rasta pasta, grilled vegetables, salmon, stewed chicken, and mashed potatoes. I am not sure I got it all, but this is what I remembered. Nancy runs a tight shift and she is there to make sure the customers are happy. She has quite a few servers for the amount of people that come to have drinks especially. The bartenders rotate around to handle any influx of customers. I do have to specifically specify a few people that helped facilitate our great time here. I have to shout out to Daniel 1st because he was all over the place taking care of everyone' s needs. When we 1st arrived, Nicole was all over us wanting to know if we were ok, and even ordered us water to start. We ordered drinks and she quickly took care of our order. Later after our dinner, a few of us went to the bar for a final drink, both Samantha and Nicole were there and they both took such good care of us making sure we were ok. When you go to a place where you feel at home and comfortable, this is a place you need to return to often. Like I said, this place is a gem in this neighborhood, but you have to try the variety of food they serve and Michael in the kitchen is constantly trying to improve on the menu to attract and keep customers and he is doing a great job!! read more

- fries are good - service is excellent - I did not like the salad dressing - if they got a Dj or some music, this place could be a lot of fun - wings are ok Maybe I just don't like lemon pepper Was Probly the third time Iv ever ordered that flavor - friend Sez the burger is just alright - multiple signs state there's a 90 minute table limit, but we were there for three hours on a Friday night without any disturbance read more

Visited with friends to celebrate a bday on a Wednesday night. Unfortunately due to COVID indoor dining restrictions we could not enjoy inside however there were seats out front. Inside is neat and has huge TV's to enjoy sports. I ordered the frozen piña colada with a shot of Casamigos & it was amazing! It's authentic, made me feel like I was on a tropical island. I also ordered the oxtail sliders, honey chipotle wings, coconut shrimp with fries & salad. Everything was tasty! Definitely will be visiting again ASAP! read more

I took myself on a date here one random weekend and it was pretty good. There were not a lot of people there at the time that I went so I was happy about that. I tried the frozen rum punch and sorrel, an oxtail burger, wings and fries. No I did not eat it all at once lol but I did enjoy what I had. I do think the drinks could be a little bit stronger but that's just me. I was happy with my decision to go there. You should definitely give it a try especially now that football is back! read more

Attended this establishment as a party of 4 just for hookah and cocktails on Mother's Day. The hookah was mid and we waited over an hour for 1 drink each. We expressed to the waitress that tended to us that we never received our drinks. She literally could have cared less!! Because we not only mentioned it to her once but twice. I think customer service goes a long way in the hospitality field... It sucks because I love giving my business to black owned businesses. However, do better!! It's very disappointing to watch customers that come in after you, get served before you!! read more

Cannot recommend for delivery. Food arrived cold within less than an hour. Red pepper aioli was slithers of red pepper. Fries tasted and the texture was as if they were cooked well in advance. And sadly, everything was over salted. To add insult to the assault, the amount for two turkey burgers that were overcooked, over salted with wilted toppings and misrepresented aioli at $18 a pop is insanity. I was excited to try the other dishes, but until I forget this experience. read more

Very happy to see a bar and restaurant of this caliber on Fulton. The atmosphere is great and the food is even better. Love the wings (LP), the hot chicken sandwich, rasta pasta. I've heard great things about the oxtail sliders unfortunately I don't eat beef/pork). The drinks are so good! Absolutely love the rum punch and the pina coladas (you can get it virgin). There are TVs everywhere and every time I've been there they've had good music playing which I appreciated. I highly recommend. There's also a happy hour!! read more

Always saw this restaurant driving by, always looked lit and had to try it out for myself.

And if you dine in, 15% gratuity will be added to the bill. read more

I live in the area and finally tried this place for take out. I was craving wings. They were OK at best. The salad and fries that came with were good. Actually nice fresh greens for the salad. The vibes in the bar are so bad, it's sad. I would love a local spot I could sit in and watch a game or relax / decompress from a long work day, but this is definitely not the one. For take out, I will only order again if I'm desperate. There should be a decent sports bar / pub / wings joint on Fulton somewhere in this Bed-Stuy zone, but I've not found one yet. read more
