    Went here on a Friday night for a friend's bday. There was a group of 8 of us and one of our friends called to make a reservation so there was no wait once we arrived. However, when we arrived the host tells one of our friend's that there is a $650 minimum for a table inside. The friend who made the reservation informed the host that she was not made aware of that when she made the reservation, so I think they waived it because we did not spend $650. I don't even know how they expect you to spend that much, the menu options are limited. When we got to our reserved table, it was a round both with a small table that could only really fit 3-4 ppl comfortably. The waitress then realized the table could not accommodate us (and looked like why would they seat y'all here? Smh) they added a small wobbly square table and a couple of uncomfortable gold metal chairs. If I were there for myself I probably would've left at that point. We ordered drinks and appetizers which the drinks were good but a couple of the drinks were only half full which for the price made no sense. The person who appeared to be a manager was friendly and fun and he gave us shots on the house of some mixture they had that wasn't on the menu but it tasted really good. A couple of my friends wanted that as a second drink and although they only offer it as shots he made the excel which was really cool. I had the frosé which was really good and it was hittin okayy. Only had one lol. We ordered Buffalo wings, which were really good, fried shrimp which was more like shrimp fingers (if that makes sense) like long strips. I don't particularly care for my shrimp to be made like that, because it seems to be minced and formed into strips. The sauce it came with was good tho and the shrimp was crispy. One of our friends ordered the crab cakes which were good and the watermelon salad with shrimp which she enjoyed. Another one of our friends ordered the hummus which she liked. When it came time to order entrees, a couple of us wanted to order the empanadas which they were sold out of. Because the menu options are so limited we weren't really interested in anything else so we decided to go somewhere else. Also, the garden didn't look as nice as it looks in pics online. Idk.. For 8 appetizers and 9 drinks the bill came to $350. I don't think this is somewhere I'll return but I would order the wings and frosé again if I did. I would say try it but it didn't give was it was supposed to have given Lol.

    Breakfast burrito is all egg nothing else...

    Vibes are 10/10 Food is 5/10 First of all this is the smallest breakfast burrito in the world. The plate came with more tater tots than anything. It's literally an all egg burrito. However, vibes are there and super cute decor. Great for Instagram and maybe drinks. Wouldn't go for food.

    The receipt isn't even itemized. This is for one bottle of water and a margarita.

    The music was fantastic. The food was good, but the service was shady as hell. As you can see, the receipt isn't itemized. I ordered two bottles of water and a margarita. Denise (according to the receipt) gave me one bottle and told me they had no more and charged me 48.23. She said the margarita in a small plastic cup was $20 and that the Poland Spring was $8 and the rest was gratuity. She gave herself a $20 tip. I tipped 20% for every drink I got and for my food. Also, my friend went after me and got two bottles of water for $11. They told me there was no more water and the price changed for her. I try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, but based on other reviews, this is common practice at this establishment. I work hard to make an honest living and they should too. This is so unfortunate because up until the last transaction, I did have a good time. The male bartender was honest, but the woman behind the bar was really messed up.

    Dear Yelpers! This place is a vibe for sure! Came here with K for a quick drink since seeing it on tiktok ;) and it was really a great vibe and energy. The staff were surprisingly nice and not standoffish, attentive and friendly which made for a great start. We ordered some of their cocktails and their hibiscus shots which were yummy. Saw a few ordered their chicken wings so we will def try those when we come back. Music was on point and the decor is amazing. 8 out of 10 def recommend!

    The food was decent but not necessarily memorable. My favorite thing about this place is the ambiance, inside and out the place is super cute. Great brunch spot , decent service. 7.5/10

    I saw this lounge on IG and decided to check them out. My friend and I went for our Girls Night Out. It's Thursday and they opened at 5pm and we got there around 6pm...we were the first ones there lol. It's ok...we took some really cute pics. The outdoor dining area is super cute and very IG pic worthy. We ordered drinks and appetizers. They added their own touch to the guacamole by putting jalapeños on top, which gave a nice kick to it. And who can go wrong with truffle fries with grated Parmesan cheese?! The shrimp tempura was tasty. Overall, it's a trendy spot to hang out with friends and I'm sure it gets crowded later in the evening. There's a live DJ and the music was great. The waitress was very bubbly and attentive. It was a great night! If you're in Brooklyn and looking for a great outdoor type lounge...this should be on your list. Oh...they also have indoor dining.

    Passed by Rebel Café & Garden a few times while driving through Bushwick and Williamsburg. It looked like a big thriving party was going on one day so I knew I had to check it out ASAP! Had dinner reservations across the street so I stopped in with my fiancé and my mom for a drink to check it out. Arrived around 6:00 PM on a Thursday so it was relatively quiet, just 2-3 other groups in the space. The music was on point! I joked that they literally took my playlist off Spotify because I was vibing to every song. Service was friendly and fast! The drinks we ordered were delicious and we would've ordered another if we didn't have reservations! I loved the decor including the neon signs with sayings ("You're like, really pretty" connected with me spiritually as a Mean Girls loving millennial) and the pride flags! Hoping to return soon for more yummy cocktails and a nice photo op.

    What a cute little gem in Bushwick. Aesthetic has become essential when choosing places to eat, cause selfies, and this spot really was awesome! I loved the greenery and floral elements in the front outdoor dining area. Due to Covid, we could only dine outside so I don't know what the inside looked like. We ate here on a Monday evening and we were one of two parties. It was surprisingly empty but towards the end of the night more people started arriving. Our server was sweet and attentive. She recommended good food and drinks on the menu. The food was delicious! We had the potato nachos and Buffalo cauliflower which were really well seasoned. We then had the grilled chicken sandwich and pepperoni pizza. Our friends ordered the Rebel burger and both said it was delicious. I took a peek at their brunch menu and it looks really good. I'll definitely be coming back here for brunch!

    I would give this place a 4 star but the service was so bad but the food was good. Smh I really wish these places respected all their customers regardless of how they look or who they are... with that being said. Them fried chicken sliders were Evrything.

    went to a private party on May 14 and ordered drinks at the bar. It takes a good 10-15 minutes as there is only 2 bartenders. Later on when trying to order food from the host stand, I was told from a short girl in host stand that I can't order food at the restaurant as I am part of private party. so we CANNOT order any food UNLESS sit inside. Disappointing but whatever. Bad policy as business owner. Losing Food SALES

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
