I just returned to Love Joys after about a year away and instantly wondered to myself what took so long! The bartenders are soo incredibly welcoming and chill. They didn't even have a problem with me bringing in a hot coffee, which was super nice of them! I came for their monthly open mic and I really love how they maximized the space. It was a packed house (which I love), yet I was quite comfortable given all the great seating and it never once felt overcrowded. I also love how I can always find a parking spot nearby on the block. Though if you're a subway only kind of commuter, then you'll enjoy the fact that the L train stops literally 1 block away. I'll be back soon! read more

I was invited to Lovejoys for a birthday celebration. On this day in particular, it was rainy and very cold. So there were a sprinkle of people inside of the venue. I could tell on a day where the weather was better, there would be more of a crowd. Nevertheless, the DJ was pumping R&B music. The vibes were good. I would return at a later time just to see what a different crowd brings to Lovejoys. read more

I first came here as a patron and loved the venue so much that I ended up hosting a monthly community event here. The space has such a great vibe--cozy, up-to-date, and very welcoming. The staff are always friendly, and communication with Aida has been smooth and professional every time. The venue is also very well equipped with a DJ table setup, speakers, and a microphone, which makes hosting events easy. Everything is always very clean and well organized. I highly recommend this place whether you're planning an event or just want to come by and chill. Great atmosphere all around! read more

Stopped in here for drinks before a show and had a great time! The bar staff were awesome very friendly and talkative. The drinks were good and their special pricing is really great so try this place out. I had a fun time. read more

So the owner got back to me and said that "strong pours" are their style, didn't clarify anything about how our shots of well liquor were 20 bucks a piece essentially. Then wishes me "salt and sweetness" wherever I go (ok lol), like that's a cute enough apology for us being aware that we basically got charged for double shots each we didn't ask for lol. Like what? Yeah no. read more

One of my go to spots for a night cap. Always a vibe. Drinks are amazing. No cover charge, most nights.

- spacious - kinda empty on a nice weather Friday night - good music - tasty drinks - nice for celebrations read more

Stopped by to celebrate a friends birthday. It was so cute how they printed her name on the menus at the tables. A decent sized, beautifully decorated bar. I had the stardust cocktail and also had a French 75. Both were good! Good drinks, good service, good music and clean bathrooms! read more

There's something about those gold arched frames and purple backlighting against the navy blue walls that feels so soothing at Lovejoys. The elevated dance floor and disco ball in the back totally nail the intentional retro aesthetic they're going for, and I'm here for it. I'm tickled by the fact they call their drinks "libations" on the menu and even have a zero proof section. As I get older, I've been enjoying my low-abv and sometimes no-abv drinks. They even have a solid happy hour with $14 house cocktails and $10 glasses of wine. Of course, I did want to try something boozy on this date though. The Tiger's Eye impressed me with the mezcal base and a list of ingredients I could barely name. Said ingredient list included genepy le chamois, cynar, banane du bresil. I don't know what any of that is but if it was in the drink, it tasted great. The Zephyr cocktail with whiskey, passionfruit, yuzu, and something called "fee foam" was also easy to drink. I was too deep in conversation with my date to really pay attention to what fee foam is, but the cocktails were pretty good. Great spot with pretty aesthetics for a casual date. read more

I'm such a sucker for decor ..VIBES ...I'm in love with the decor ..it's so sexy ..really really sexy . I came here as a "pre game " , I was not disappointed ..the menu was for drinks(no food) and the prices were reasonable ..I told the bartender who was very pleasant to make me the most popular drink..in which she kindly did ..It was the "lovejoy" the space is spacious enough to where I saw DJ equipment and was told , the weekend was where it was happening ..this is definitely a date night; definitely an all "girls night" definitely a solo and I need a cocktail with my "mini dress" and Chanel mirror night ..I even came back that evening to have a nightcap...the drink wasn't as strong as I would have liked it ..(but Uhmm that could be just me) read more

Lovejoys - Drink:The "Lovejoy" - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

-This cocktail bar is absolutely beautiful! I would give it 5 stars if I could but something was off about my cocktails and they don't even serve light bites. -I got the "Taboo". Its with vodka but something about the rosemary didn't do it for me. Not as pretty as their other cocktails either. Next time i'd try the Stardust! -It's a straight up cocktail bar, no food so great place to meet up for a drink before or after a meal elsewhere. Hopefully they get some food soon since its still fairly new. -Love the decor, the pink/purple uplights, the music and the overall vibe was just so on point. Super aesthetic. Kind of a different look for this area but cool nonetheless. Return? Yea I'd love to try another cocktail and just vibe out Recommend? Yes read more

Yet another cocktail bar that I was pleased to cross off my Want to Try list! Lovejoys is a spacious bar serving up a tiny but mighty menu of craft drinks. I stopped by while waiting for a later reservation at The Monkey King nearby and ended up ordering the Zephyr- a whiskey forward drink with passion fruit, yuzu, and lime. Delicious! Zephyr is a stray from what I would usually order but I was itching to try something new and this one definitely stuck out to me. I was honestly pleasantly surprised with it and would give it about an 8/10 in terms of taste and balance. I'm excited to give the rest of the menu a try soon! The only downside of this bar was the service sadly :( I was barely greeted upon entering and the bartender on site looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but working. Hoping that was just an off moment though! read more

Beautiful lounge with comfy chairs, lighting, and sexy vibe. Won't say the bar tenders are welcoming, but maybe it's because we arrived around 11pm (who knows?). On my first visit I ordered the Tiger's Eye from a male bartender who had a blonde pony tail and I absolutely enjoyed it. My second visit the following week I requested the same cocktail but was disappointed. The bartender was a younger gentlemen who seemed preoccupied with chatting with his friends and female colleagues rather than making a proper cocktail. His service was unimpressive and unwelcoming at best. A place that beautiful should be complimented with better service! I'm giving Lovejoy 3 stars overall because the second experience was worse than the first. I'd return for the ambiance and decor, but I might just order something from the bottle or can next time read more

This bar is super cute. There's are booths you can sit in, there are seats at the bar and is also a dance floor. The drinks were good. And there was a good selection including a couple of mocktails. Came on a Saturday night and there was a DJ playing. The music was all over the place but I enjoyed myself nonetheless. I would revisit. read more

Lovejoy's is a great escape from the grungy Bushwick streets offering quality cocktails in a beautifully dimly lit setting. The space doesn't look like it even belongs on Troutman Ave, with it's standout centerpiece bar and plush couches. I've been here on various types of occasions: casual drinks, birthday celebrations, dancing - and all have been so fun! Would love if they eventually served small appetizers, I think that will elevate the experience here. read more

When it's 7 pm on a Saturday you're wandering around Bushwick looking for a nice cocktail, Lovejoys is a great option! There was no one else in at that time so we sat at the bar and made ourselves at home as the bartenders were still setting up for the evening. The interior of this spot is, as my friend says, "swanky." Lots of jewel tones and plush seating with gold accents. They have a dance floor for later in the evening as well as a cozy backyard/patio area. I opted for a glass of wine, and they pour samples before you commit to a glass which is always appreciated. I sampled the orange which wasn't as full-bodied as I liked so ended up going with the rose. I'm really not a rose person in the slightest so was pleasantly surprised. I tasted the glass slipper which my friend got and it was a beautiful cocktail with full-on glitter in it. I was also able to try the all nighter, which is their take on a espresso martini and it was very good. If I come back, that would definitely be my cocktail of choice. read more

We came to Lovejoys to celebrate the birthday of a relative. We arrived early enough to get a good seat before the craze of the party crowd. It appears there were sever birthday parties in the same night. The place had a nice ambiance and the drinks were pretty good. I personally did not enjoy the first DJ that played music but I believe she was for one of the parties. The DJ changed throughout the night and I enjoyed that second DJ much better. THe night was going really well. The hubs was getting the majority of the drinks and had an open tab. At one point in the night, I went to order the drinks. I ordered several rounds. While ordering one of the rounds of drinks, after ordering 2 other people came up and sked me to order for them. While trying to place the order, the bartender, Julian, told me he's not making them because I am ordering too many drinks. I have NEVER EVER been to a bar and was told I've ordered too many drinks. I was not drunk or rude and was in complete shock. I was able to speak to the manager at the time, Aida, who was extremely helpful. I advised her of the situation and she was apologetic and seemed as surprised as I was. After speaking to my husband, he advised that he was ordering from one of the female bartenders and not the rude male. Leo was working on clearing tables but was also super friendly and helpful. I would return but would definitely not order from Julian. read more

I must say that I have experienced a lot of parties in my life and I have personally organized quite a few, but what I experienced yesterday was beyond of a limit everything I saw so far and unfortunately it was on my bday. I was at the beginning of the opening LoveJoys and I was big fan of this project in Bushwick. Beautifully designed lounge with great selection of cocktails. That's why it was one of my picks for potential place for my bday party. I met owner, introduced her my friend who is also DJ and we made deal for my birthday celebration. My friend put together great line Up od Djs for all night and we were all so excited! Everything went well until another bday group came and things became nasty Management couldn't handle situation at all! If we wouldn't leave, police department would join our party probably soon because some of us were physically attacked by other group and still, no one have balls to deal with it ! Such a disappointment. I left my birthday in tears and very upset. read more

Great and sound bar overall, pretty good selection. I visited once before for an event and the space is gorgeously decorated. It looks different at night but I highly recommend coming during the day to see the huge mirror and small details everywhere. The service is always fast and pleasant; during my recent visit I ordered one cocktail and got the "LoveJoys" cocktail. It had Tequila, blackberry-basil shrub, ghost chiles crushed onto the rim (not insanely spicy-just right), lime, and ginger beer. It was well made, boozy and super tasty. Would love to come back and try their other options. The vibe js always right when I come here; music and people are all great during my visits here. Such a good time and great cocktails read more

Wow! What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! I've enjoyed socializing in the neighborhood before so I had a pretty good idea of the establishments there - but I did a search just to see what I'd find - and I'm so glad I found Lovejoys. The pics themselves showed the unique beauty, ambiance and character that can't be found anywhere else in the area and I felt compelled to go. I wanted that experience. Well, Lovejoys lived up to what they advertise and more. It's a beautiful, classy, sexy place to be with its warm color, perfect lighting and great layout. They even have an outdoor area in the back. Who wouldn't enjoy being there? So, while I was enjoying all the exciting trappings of this great establishment, what topped it was the customer care given. We were greeted, attended to and our engaging conversation made us feel welcomed and special. This was exactly what I wanted as an option compared to all the other options. Lovejoys, Thank you for your style and customer service. read more

Cue the Sex and the City theme. Grab your gals or guys. Dress to impress. Have fun. Lovejoys is a hidden gem that contrasts with the neighboring nightlife options - think beauty and the beast. This is for the grown and sexy. The bar, plush and leather seating, the decor, the chandeliers, and the drinks were simply beautiful. The DJ, energy, and overall vibe were great. There is no room for killjoys only LOVE. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday after brunch with a friend. Let me start by saying this bar is beautiful!!! If you're looking for some place cute, chic and classy, definitely go here. They even have the cutest outdoor space. Initially it was just my friend and I there all we had the entire place to ourselves. The two bartenders were welcoming and sweet. They did mention that they will be getting small bites soon but as of now, their menu is just drinks so eat before you go, or after, whichever floats your boat! Both the drinks I had was delicious and refreshing. I've been in my well made cocktail phase and these didn't disappoint. Will definitely be back! read more

Disaster place. The level of disrespect we faced at this establishment was insane. Absolute disappointment with border line physical assault. My girlfriend was celebrating her birthday at Lovejoys two days ago. She bought balloons and decorated the place. We made a flyer, put an official DJ lineup together and invited dozens of people. The owner approved everything. However the whole night went down alarmingly wrong: All of the sudden these men came to the DJ booth and wanted to play. The owner was asking if we could let them dj for a bit. I said of course. There was another party being celebrated in that place so I wanted to be nice and friendly and sharing. First they were missing a cable to connect their computer (asking me if I had it). Then they found it somewhere 30 minutes later. I said they could play after me. They wanted to set up the cables and while doing that, they unplugged the dj equipment and stopped the music. We had to fix it and fight with them and kick them out of the dj booth. The owner was on their side. Instead of backing us up as official djs for the night she just repeated she was sorry. Owner overbooked the venue, the second birthday was larger group (more of our people were still on their way) and she thought she will get more money from them if she lets them play their music. My girlfriend who's birthday it was bought all the decorations and now the other group started to take her balloons to use them for their party. They tried to take the balloons directly from my friends hand and were extremely rude. The poor birthday girl had to get into a physical conflict with them. It was an absolute mayhem. And if we didn't leave we would have to call 911. They were very hostile and owner absolutely useless and unprofessional. Never again. I cannot express how outraged we were from this experience not even mentioning the bday girl ending up in tears on her big day. Yelp deleted my other friend's review, attached in screenshot. Shame! read more

Okay.. I like it here alot. I came on a Friday night around 1am and there was a nice size crowd. The decor is pretty and its dimly lit. There are tables/couches where you can order drinks if you're with a group and as you head to the back of the spot theres a dance floor. The music was good and I loved the vibe here. Plus theres a little outdoor patio(not that big). I didn't try any of their drinks but I definitely would on a return visit. Definitely recommend stopping in here on a night out. read more

This past weekend I hosted a private event(my babyshower) at Lovejoys. From the very beginning Aida and Emmy have been very accommodating and informative. I chose Lovejoys because of the ambience and décor, which meant I didn't have to do much decorating myself! Everyone at my shower was asking where I found this spot and LOVED everything about it. The staff on site were amazing and attributed to the best vibes I could have ever imagined. The cocktails are beautiful and delicious! I am still receiving compliments about the event and this was all because of Lovejoys' help. Thank you Lovejoys for making our day all the more memorable! read more

When you're looking for a great place to celebrate your bday and don't want any stress or hassle, This is the place you need to host. Management is super accommodating and their creative ideas will have you confident in your party style and energy. Make sure you solidify your DJ and time slot because folks who didn't solidify, will try and ruin your party. I'd completely have another party here! Aida is a boss and manages very well! I was seriously taken care of from coat check, to music selection, to water hydration and care for you through out the night. read more

Loved Lovejoys. Drinks are great. Beautiful aesthetic and friendly staff, warm and welcoming owner. Will be returning!

Lovejoys is this sexy little spot located just around the corner from the L train and across the street from LOT45. Its quite large and spacious so its actually not a little spot lol. You can easily fit 150 in there. They've got a great cocktail menu and friendly staff. Seemed very LGBTQ friendly but it was a pretty mixed crowd. They played a lot of house music the night i was there. I just stopped in to pregame so I was only around for an hour or so. read more

Absolute gem of a place with wonderful and attentive staff. Cocktails at the forefront, they really brought it home with some standouts for me: Stardust Glass Slipper The Lovejoy Honestly I'd name them all if I could but these are the ones that keep me coming back for more. Besides the cocktails, the ambience is stunning and definitely something the area it's in needed. Every time i walk in Im transported to my own little bubble where time flies due to the excellent music, low lighting, and incredible service. Definitely coming back time and time again! read more
