Every cocktail I had was delicious. I got there when they opened at 5pm and a few people walked in the first hour. Then i around 630/7p it started to get busy and definitely loud at 8pm. I had the passion fruit cosmo, hibiscus cosmo and gentlemen's buck - all were delicious! $16 a drink and you have to order at the bar. There is AC but not blasting. So it will take you a minute to get cool. The music was amazing, lots of old school hip hop. Got harder to talk as the night went on because it got louder with the music or people talking. read more

As a whole, Buschwick still has margins of neighborhoods that are quite unassuming. This restaurant is representative of that. Environment The environment didn't leave much to be desired. The music selection was quite exceptional and there was ample seating when I arrived in the late evening. If you're a lover of either bar or booth seating you'll find both of your desires will be met. SIPS I settled on the Passionfruit Spritz which was both refreshing and packed a small punch. If in need of a more spirit forward or herbal option there were plenty of other options in their menu. Overall, Palmetto was a delightful experience. The cocktails, environment and service all worked together for a seamlessly pleasant experience. Happy Sips! read more

This bar is cute! Drinks were good. I love the booths. We went on a Friday and it was moderately busy. The bathroom door lock was broken. I ended up walking on the girl ahead of me. And then someone did the same to me. Gives the impression of being locked. They should fix that. Honestly other than that, no complains. Everything looked very clean and the staff were very friendly! read more

A neighborhood gem! Love the bartenders. They're always so friendly, know how to sling a drink and fun to chat to. Their cocktails and wines are reasonably priced and always well curated. The place itself has a vibey intimate aesthetic. Love coming here. read more

Cute cocktail bar! I typically don't go out for drinks outside my neighborhood but came on a Friday evening. It was pretty crowded around 11 but within the half hour it cleared out considerably. The drinks here are unique and not too expensive. I opted for a dirty martini (gin) and it was rather large. Couldnt even finish it all myself but perhaps that's because I'm not a seasoned martini drinker. I will say that the music here is VERY loud. Was practically yelling across the table so if you're trying to have an actual conversation maybe opt to sit at the bar. Aside from that I wasn't a huge fan of the bathrooms, just expected them to be nicer but they felt divey even though its a cocktail bar. read more

Lovely, cozy place! It just has a nice, relaxing vibe to it, which makes it perfect for some after-work drinks. They check your ID and vaccine cards before service, so keep that in mind. Been here twice and so far have only sampled a couple of selections from the wine list. Need to try their cocktails soon. read more

Big vibes. I like the decor and the layout of the spot! I ordered a marg that wasn't my favorite - but the staff and music were good and made up for it. read more

Overall rating: 4.8 Super cute spot, but soo far from me. I clearly don't live in Bushwick, but I'd totally be back for a date drink before the House of Yes. I went here solo and I wish I went with a friend or a date. Definitely gives group energy vs sitting in the corner solo people watching. Also love that they give an Andes afterward. read more

It's all bad here. I will never to back. The service was awful and the staff was rude. I went recently and got a couple cocktails with my husband. They were so watered down and overpriced. Their "snacks" are comically overpriced (even for NYC) standards. If you want cheese and crackers out of a box for $18, this is the place for you. Don't go. Just don't. read more

- place is very hip and trendy - amazing service - every drink is great - not much to offer in the food department - at ten pm on a friday, there were almost no available seats - no reservations read more

Great small plates and fun atmosphere and music. charcuterie plate and glass of wine makes for the perfect friend catchup

Cool cocktail bar. Lots of stools at the bar. Handful of half circle booths across the bar and a nook with some small tables in the back. Lovely atmosphere. Great spot for a intimate night out. I had a beer - only bottles and cans available - while my wife had a cocktail. Both happy with our drinks. We arrived during half hour and they had some complimentary snacks. Service was quick and attentive. read more

Great drinks and service was incredible! Fiona was so attentive and sweet, definitely will be coming back!

Honestly super disappointed in the way my party was treated. I wish I could say something more kind, but any positive was completely overruled by how rude the staff was. I can't and won't recommend this place. read more

Super cute new bar on the corner of Knickerbocker and Hart Street! There's plenty of banquet seating as well as a long bar to fit all of your friends. We went twice in their opening weekend and really loved the Mediterranean vibe. They have a long list of cocktails for around $14 each, wines from around $12-$17, and a small beer list (bottles and cans). There is also a small list of bar snacks, including marinated olives, crackers and cheese, etc. The servers were super friendly and happy to help with recommendations. We tried several wines, including the rose, a sparkling white, and a sparkling red. A couple of friends tried the absinthe cocktail, which tasted extremely heavy of licorice (not my favorite). I can already tell that I'm going to be here a lot. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Love this place. Great spot for date night or any night. So cozy, exceptional drinks and sweet bartenders.

I've always walked by this place and decided to give it a try! It's a great neighborhood cocktail / wine bar. Not too crowded on a Friday night. The ambiance was quaint and staff was friendly. I'll def be back to try out the wine next time! read more

I've been coming to the Palmetto for awhile because it's next to my home. And everything is so excellent, the cocktails are sooooo good! This is my favorite spot so far. Also, the decoration is just wow. It's look clam, and relax in the same time! I love everything there, the staff is extremely friendly as well! I always bring my friends there, and will do more because they have to try what's the best cocktails! read more

I highly recommend the KENTUCKY FOG. this place is a little Casablanca right in the heart of bushwick. The music is a perfect mix of old and new I was actually able to have a conversation while enjoying a real cocktail. Awesome wine and beer list. read more

It is really unfair to see this place go down with all the other sad spots in the neighborhood. I have been going here since May 2020 & supporting it by going in & telling my industry family about it. Tonight was the Worst service ever- we understand you are busy but there is no need to be rude, condescending, literally pushing customers out the door because you all cannot handle volume, hospitality & a level of decency when it comes to making cocktails. Very demeaning experience- a true shame! read more

I was wondering who this really cute girl was who was serving drinks... AND looks and then I realized I was in love? Who was this person you ask? A girl with a name like a vegetable, and her hot hot hot crew of coworkers blessed me with the most amazing celery gimlet of all time, yes that's right; you heard that correctly... a CELERY gimlet.. based off the name itself you might think to yourself....... Who in their right mind would drink this? And I am here to tell you, a man willing to risk it all on a gamble, would drink this, and he would in fact win every time folks; every single time! I'm talkin' pure sevens, this drink here wins em all. Plus the staff is hot, so I give palmetto a 5 out of 5 in straight ballerness. read more

I liked the wine! I also had a lovely interaction with the staff. Very relaxing interior as well.

My friends and I decided to explore Bushwick as it's a neighborhood we don't visit often. Palmetto was a place we went to along the way. I really liked the atmosphere there and the drinks. Cute, simple design but cozy and accommodating. I think it's a great spot for drink at the bar, an intimate date or drinks with a few friends. read more

The ambience was so warm and inviting. Loved the various flowers and art. There was a dj spinning old school records. Just loud enough to appreciate a tune but not overpowering the conversations I was having. The service was great, friendly but not overbearing and the specialty cocktails were amazing!! The whole experience felt like meeting your cool best art friend in their home and laughing at the crazy times of the past while dreaming of future travels together. read more

Amazing ambience and eclectic wine selection. Came here to catch up with a friend and did not want to leave! Grab a booth, settle in and order a bottle or two! I loved the Corsican grape and the rose was pretty nice as well. It was very busy but somehow still felt open. The snacks were delicious too :) read more

Palmetto is a fun, grown-up feeling cocktail bar located on Knickerbocker Ave. I was excited to stop by to explore their wine selection, but was also impressed by the cocktail list. It wasn't super busy for a Friday night, but still had a nice vibe and decent turn over as the night went on. The booths are lush and large, big enough for a group--and there is ample bar seating and a few tables tucked away in the back. They offer small bites/snacks but I didn't indulge during my visit. Def worth a visit when you're in the area! read more

Palmetto is a bit pricey and definitely feels very post gentrification but the drinks are great. Wine list was substantial and they had orange wine too. Cheese and crackers was a bit off and I would have liked 2 different cheeses instead of just more fruit and nuts. read more

Beautiful restaurant. I came in for an after dinner drink and stayed for a second. Hip crowd but plenty of room at the bar. I ordered a Penicillin and the drink was perfect. The music was cool. The ambience was chill as was the AC set at the perfect temp for a sweaty July evening in NY. Clearly the owners have an impeccable sense of design as every detail was on point. The prices are lower than I'd expect from an establishment with this much class. Can't wait to come back here again... read more

The waitstaff here are very rude and unwelcoming. Would not come back here again. Plenty of other wine bars in the area to choose from.

Killer cocktails, out entire group really loved all of them. We also tried the cheese board which was a perfect balance of different items. Staff was super nice and wonderful atmosphere. Will def be back! read more

Really lovely addition to the neighborhood. Wonderful wine selection. Wonderful ambiance. The cheese plate was the perfect snack with our bottle of rosé. Can't wait to come back! read more

Best cocktails in Bushwick! They actually make the best drink I've ever tasted. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Super cute bar that opened right before the pandemic. Wish we could sit inside, but they have plenty of outdoor/sidewalk seating! Ordered a Milk Maid and an orange wine, and both were exceptional. Also got sardines with crackers as a light snack. If you're looking for a daytime/early evening bar in Bushwick, this place is perfect. read more
