Went to King Tai Bar on Thursday night and had an Aperol Spritz. The bartender was awesome, really friendly and made the drink perfectly. The place is definitely loud, but in a good way. Great spot!

King Tai has pop-up restaurants for certain days. I wanted to try C Marty's Jerk for awhile. I must say that Nancy, Chris and T made this an even better experience. Great customer service. we ordered: Jerk Shrimp Tacos Shrimp and Chicken Banh Mi Elote Tres Bebes Queen of Corona (not pictured) Everything was delish. They have a lot of outdoor seating. Indoor seating was not an option. You order at the door and they give you a number and bring the items to you.

Great drinks and super affordable. I can't say this place is undiscovered cause it's always busy but it's such a gem. I love a tiki style drink. The pop up food was also good! The vibe is excellent. So cute and a fun place to hang.

I past this place many times over the years but finally decided to try this place on my birthday. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the drinks are and by how affordable they are about $12.00 a drink which is good for New York City. Everyone was friendly even got a shot of Tequila for my Birthday. Good atmosphere and ambience.

Super chill cocktail bar

Super chill neighborhood bar in Crown Heights. Dropped by with a friend a few weeks ago on a weeknight. We arrived around 8ish and took a couple seats at the bar. All the tables were filled, but it was by no means crowded. House cocktails were a very reasonable $10. I had the La Nortena and the 40 Steps which were both quite good. Bar tenders were super friendly. Decor is simple but tasteful. Loved the laid-back vibe. But as the night wore on, this place got PACKED. And more and more noisy. To the point where having a conversation and adequate space was challenging. Also, there were two people working behind the counter - for the first part of the night that was sufficient, but when the traffic picks up be prepared to wait a little bit. I agree with @Elizabeth C.'s review - great spot if you come with 1 or 2 people, but would refrain from large groups due to lack of seating. Also of note is that this was on a weekday night. Wonder what it looks like on weekends. With that said, still had a great time here. Very homey feel and everyone is nice. Would definitely drop by again, but would do my best to avoid peak hours.

Cute decor, but the cocktails we ordered were just not good at all. Mine was sour and bitter - not in a good way. My wife's was just watery.

Ask the Community - King Tai

Are there any vegan options on the menu?

I haven't been back since the start of the pandemic, but before they had a very limited food selection, like tamales and maybe one other item. I would call them and ask. Otherwise, nearby Namas Tea at 863 Sterling Pl. is a vegan place.

My friend and I came here the other night. I've had this place bookmarked for a while and I'm so…read moreglad we came. We made a reservation for early in the evening, and it was very quiet when we arrived. The space itself is lovely with comfortable velvet chairs, a nice bar, a stunning array of vinyls on display and a beautiful outdoor patio area. We opted to sit indoors, and service was excellent. Between the two of us, we ordered the sake flight, the never will I marry, the smoke stack and stolen moments (a NA beverage). We enjoyed all of our drinks and I thought mine were especially delicious and well balanced. We also ordered the popcorn as well as the burrata and hot honey, which was so good. I would definitely come back here again!

Get to the Chase:…read more Pros: 1. Drinks are well balanced, strong but not overpowering and delicious 2. Ambiance is nice; serving moody and yet relaxed; great selection of jazz vinyl 3. Bites are nice, and the complimentary spiced popcorn is a nice touch 4. 2 drinks, 1 conservas bite and a dessert and tax/tip was about $100 which isn't egregious (but also not cheap so be prepared) Cons: 1. Had 3 bartenders for a pretty small bar and none noticed my cup of water was empty for 20 min; not to mention one of them really didn't want to be there or is a super introvert and just there to make the drink and bye; would have hoped they tried a bit more to have a conversation or explain the philosophy/idea behind the bar/drinks etc (i mean i am paying 20% tip and it's a service industry) 2) The Awakening (tiramisu) was not that great; was on the sour side - maybe because of the chosen espresso beans which may be arabica, but wasn't pleasant; gave an impression of soured milk and coffee. Also the frozen ice cream just doesnt fit; more like a frozen affogato or sour klondike bar than a tiramisu Net net, still a great new place and perfect for dates, but not as strong on the service and desserts
