    This is a lovely dim light at night spot, next door to Low Key Gardens Lounge. Located on Austin Street, Forest Hills. All of the staff were friendly and kind. The door man even did a dance as me and my friend walked in. The manager made sure we were good. The place is not a huge place. It is small and quaint. The music was loud but not crazy loud. I could hear my friend. I didn't see many options for large crowds. I enjoyed my quesadilla and drink. I had the purple passion drink. You can taste the flowery taste. I love the aesthetic touch of the logo on the foam of the drink.

    This is a nice restaurant with fun vibe and a great happy hour with lots of choices. Happy hour is half price appetizers and signature drinks. The food was delicious, wings were crispy and well sauced, quesadillas were amazing and the guacamole was fresh. The service was only okay, our waitress could have been more attentive. We ended up order from the bartender.

    We went around 5pm on a Friday for drinks and some "tapas" because we saw the Happy Hour drink specials. Ended up ordering non-discounted cocktails. We didn't know the nachos, teriyaki salmon skewers and steak skewers were half price. I was disappointed by the nachos but really liked the skewers. The noise level got really loud by 6 when the place filled up -- I couldn't even hear my husband across the small table from me. That was the reason I may not go back.

    Came to check out this spot last night, last minute happy hour and the aesthetics are incredible, it's all social media ready for your pictures! Drinks and food were good. You have to try the Forest Kick drink, it's delish; the mini chicken empanadas, chicken nachos and the churrasco skewers were delicious Go and check it out and enjoy!!!

    They did a great job renovating the space! I went here when it was ripe juice bar. Its super cute and intimate inside. Great for grabbing drinks and a quick bite! The happy hour deal is 50% off the menu which i thought was great and the portions are a good size. Tiffany was our server and she was great despite her being the only server and it was busy! I'll def be back soon. Please note its not a huge space so don't come with a huge group! More for intimate group sizes.

    Beer good Good good…read morePeople good And the allow dogs. What more can you ask for? Really though, there's a wide selection of beer both local, to micro brewers, to foreign. The food is Korean centric pub food. From fries, to burgers, nachos, pasta, bossam, etc. And the people are all so nice. We always come with our dog and they always bring water for him, and we go enough so they recognize us when we come in. Of course though we stay in the outdoor dining area, which is covered during the colder months. But even then, they turn in heating for us when we are out there while every other patron are dining inside.

    I like going here mainly because of how late it stays open. I also like how spacious it is inside…read moreand apparently there's board games? But I cannot confirm that. The food itself is pretty good. I liked the pasta and the pork belly dish. The fried were ok. I also tried the nachos and really liked the cheese for it's subtle taste however I was not a fan of the rest of it. For the price the portions are pretty small and not filling. Warning it can be pretty loud as I had to yell to talk to my friends. My main con and suggestion for improvement is the tables and chairs. The chairs are really small so it might not be comfortable for most. Also, our table was very wobbly so we moved to another one and that one ended up being wobbly too. I'm hoping they can change them as it will help the comfort of the guests. On a good note, I liked the service! The waitress was nice but I believe there was a busser who was attentive and respectful towards us!

I watch the end of the game in here. Inside looks nice, booth is comfortable. Lively decoration with a spinning floating lightbulb in each table. The air is a bit stuffy though. I only ordered a burger as I heard from other reviewers that it is the best burger. It is quite tasty. Burger is on the smaller side, size of my palm. For $22, it also came with French fries. It is a bit more to the expensive side if I compare to what I will pay for a double burger and fries at Burger joint at 7th street burger. I guess i paid for the atmosphere. Service is ok. The waitress is very quiet. I dont think she spoke more than 20 words to me. Mostly nodding at my request. She did refill my water without me asking. However, she didnt bring me utensils. I had to use the toothpick that held the burger together to eat the leftover crumbs. My hands is a bit sticky and smell like barbecue sauce as a result of it. Thats why I deduct a star

    I could have swore I wrote a review for this place when it first opened. Coming here in the summer…read moreis by far the best view unless your looking at the Z hotel, which looks like poop hole! There's so many levels to this location. When its cold outside I recommend the seating in the corner, its a little room off to the side. They have outlets here as well as games to play. Unfortunately for last night's visit they just had scrabble which I totally crushed my friend in, when he reads this he is gonna laugh. The 5 or so times I been to this location there has always been totally good service. I believe one of my drinks last night was given for free, the bill didn't make sense. I did notice my server clicked on the 20% tab, I didn't mind I would have clicked that anyway. Sometimes I am too nice to people because most would have said something. :: bathroom alert:: Very clean bathroom. Use the first one on the bottom floor. The ada compliant bathrooms are very big, I appreciate that. The bathrooms upstairs have unisex hand washing. I just appreciate There's elevators so that elderly, mobility issues and people in wheel chairs can enjoy the view. In the winter upstairs does have a tent around it. The area can seem sus at night time. Take a cab home or walk with a friend is my tip. The food is pretty good. The nachos were just ok, I could have used more seasoning. The pretzel was really good as well. They used to have tacos on their menu I don't know what happened. Their fries are pretty good too. I'm not sure if they still do the pizza, they did when they first opened.

    I'll start by saying I do like this place but I do have to complain about how it is operated…read more They have like 5 people "working" -- standing around, giving you attitude when you try to order, even when it is dead. The beer selection is also pretty reduced compared to the other locations. And the most annoying thing is the best asset is the roof, yet it seems to always be closed for some reason or another. I haven't written this place off as it is nice, and has potential, might just need better management.

I got there early to snag a table, and the team was already hard at work with nearly the entire beergarden packed with fans. The hostess Jenna was an absolute rockstar all night - I don't think she stopped moving or smiling! Not only was she seating guests with poise and insane amounts of charm, but she was also running food and drinks to make sure guests weren't waiting for their orders - in fact, despite there being more than 250 people in the beergarden, we never waited more than 4 minutes for drinks and 12 minutes for food which is pretty impressive given how busy they were inside and outside. We were served by Lana, who legit might have been the nicest, friendliest, most engaging server I have ever met in New York City, and I am not being overly dramatic here. She handled her insanely large section with aplomb, took the time to actually learn our names and address us by names when asking if we wanted to order anything, checked in on us every few minutes even if we did not need anything, and despite likely being tired from all of the guests, the running of food and drinks, and the hustling, she was cracking jokes all night through her radiant and starry smile, and making our group feel like the most important people there despite the fact that we were just three regular dudes enjoying a basketball game. Her attentiveness and personality alone are worth requesting to sit in her section at all times. Food was solid on this trip - our table ordered a half-pound burger which was cooked and seasoned perfectly (came with fries and toppings), mozzarella sticks which were piping hot with a nice crunch on the exterior, waffle fries (had to get them again they were too good last trip), and honey BBQ wings, which although they weren't very meaty (not their fault since I am assuming they didn't butcher the wings in-house - could have just been a lean batch from the supplier), the sauce was addictive and delicious and I found myself dipping everything we ordered into it so it wouldn't go to waste - order the Honey BBQ! All beers came out cold and rapidly (Cobblestones uses plastic for half liter beers when the beergarden is saturated with guests, just be prepared for that - makes sense because of the volume). The rest of the staff was incredible given the chaos. Beergarden manager Pete made it a point to check in on us a couple of times and was very appreciative of all of the guests coming for the game, and you can tell he steers the ship effectively because everyone in the beergarden was focused, attentive, and in the zone during what many bars would be challenged to handle. One final thought - my two friends who came with me (who are NOT "let's go out drinking at night" type of guys) asked me when we are coming back for a Friday or Saturday night - they loved the atmosphere, loved the friendly service from Lana, and loved the food and drinks. The answer? very soon! Thank you Cobblestones!
