    Came here for a girls night out for drinks. The decor , ambiance and aesthetic of the bar is very nice. As soon as you walk in on the left hand side is a very nice set up for djs to play music. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and didn't have to wait no more than 7-10 minutes for a table. We started off with their drinks, I had the pineapple riddim , it was a solid 10/10, I don't remember the names of the other 2 drinks my friends ordered but I tasted theirs and they were all SO GOOD!! kudos to the bartenders that night. We then got appetizers and that's when we knew we'd be returning back to this establishment. The food is so fresh, creative and just so damn delicious! The chop cheese egg rolls were to die for 10/10 Every appetizer we had was packed with flavor, honestly I can't wait to go back here. This place is a time

    I've seen this bar while driving and was curious what it would be like. Finally had the chance to check it out and was a bit disappointed. I'll start with the food, which was my biggest issue. I ordered the steak frites and asked for it to be medium, but it arrived rare - to the point that my friend even pointed it out and said it looked like it wasn't cooked so I had to ask them to cook it some more. When I asked the server, he looked very confused by my question, but it was loud (even though it was a weekday and they just opened). They brought it back and the meat was very tough and not tender and probably one of the worst steak frites I've had in the city. The french fries were good and I should mention that they had gluten-free options on their menu. In terms of the service, the bartender was friendly, but they were a bit slammed so the service was your standard, nothing above and beyond. It actually took a while for me to get my second glass of wine. The actual bar is very well designed, and has great lighting, a DJ booth, bar seating (with bag hooks), table top seating, and a clean bathroom. If I went back again, it would be just for the drinks.

    After seeing some social media buzz about Milly's, I finally had the chance to check it out for myself. The first thing I have to say is that the space is beautifully designed. I really enjoyed just looking at the interior. It's such an inviting space and you can tell that a lot of thought went into it. We stopped by around 4pm on a Sunday, about 2 hours into service. Mainly out for some beverages, I started with the Pineapple Riddim. It's a fun tequila drink that was fitting for the hot weather (and my wishes to be someplace tropical). My next cocktail was the Tuxedo #2, a spirit-forward gin cocktail with absinthe. This is definitely a "finisher" kind of drink, but I really enjoyed it as my final cocktail of the outing. We ordered one small plate to share, the tuna tartare, and it was phenomenal. The coconut milk dressing poured over was bright and refreshing. The fish was a nice fatty tuna and very fresh. Dried plantain chips are served with it, and you'll use the chips to get up every last bit of sauce. We've already agreed to try the shrimp toast and chopped cheese egg rolls on a future visit. The larger menu includes a burger for $25, branzino, and steak frites. I think Milly's has a solid future in BedStuy and I'm looking forward to exploring more of what the team here has to offer.

    I've been trying to go to Sunken Harbor for over a year now. I don't know how it's possible but…read moredespite being local it always seems to have a private event whenever we have plans to go. The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

    It's clear this place takes inspiration from Japanese vinyl listening bars, from their menu of…read morehighballs to their vinyl collection and attention to the audio experience. I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

    Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.
