Came here with my girlfriends after an event to try as on Instagram it looked like a most especially while in Brooklyn ! Service was decent nothing to bad . The waitress made suggestions when asked . I'm not going to say she had the best attitude but it also wasn't terrible. The ambiance this place gave is like a chill vibe. Most people that come here seem to be regulars. This place is one of those sit wherever you want type of places. Hookah is offered . Food wasn't bad it was def tasty and made fresh to order . I was pleased with my salad as it was very tasty and filling. The fish sandwich was also well cooked and seasoned well. read more

Whats Goodie Yelpers!!!!!!! So I went here for brunch on a Sunday with reservations at 1pm for 6 people. I personally had no idea what I was in store for but OLE BOY it was a lot lol. We were sat right by the speaker which was on 100...that means we could barely hear each other and was pretty much screaming. (Oh yea they have a 90 min table limit once your sat) On Sunday's they usually have some type of theme and this Sunday they had strippers and snakes lol. Not what I was expecting but I must say I love strippers and snakes don't bother me as much. We ordered drinks and apps. Strawberry Dream pitcher- okay 3/5 Hot wings - tasty AF 4/5 Banana Pudding cup - surprisingly very good 4/5 We're nice on our first round of drinks and the lady with snake comes out and it's very entertaining. It's giving snake and a lot of hip action (dancing) Finally we order food and our second round of drinks. Rebel burger / truffle fries - just okay nothing special and fries were over fried 3/5 Beyond burger - my friend said he thoroughly enjoyed and would get again Breakfast burrito - friend said he loved and I don't think he even chewed his food because he ate it so quick lol Bushwick Garden pitcher - simply so refreshing with a nice kick. Vodka with muddle cucumbers and a hint of OJ and Cran 4/5 The only negatives about the food is that the waitress forgot/lost one of our friends orders and he didn't get it until about 40 mins after our food came. By that time we were done eating which sucked but they didn't charge us of course. But that's beyond the point...he couldn't eat with his friends. I want to give a special shout-out to the DJ who played all the good music! He literally was fiyah aka great! Also the strippers were fun and festive (2 woman and one man) Overall it was pretty good with a few hiccups. Go here if you want a TURN UP for sure. read more

RebelCafeBK is definitely an ascetically pleasing vibe. Walking in you feel as if your on an island somewhere and the outdoor/patio seating is nothing short of an Instagram photo op waiting to happen. The music was on point. The service was subpar, our waitress was all over the place, and we waited 2hrs plus for our food. Everything, drinks and both appetizers and entrees came all at once. The rebel Frosé was really good as was the coconut shrimp (minus the hot sauce), the shrimp tacos and pork tacos. I'll definitely take a pass on the Impossible burger ‍. The fries were a tad bit too crispy/burnt and the pernil asada, eggs and home fries taste like and were drenched in pesto. The rice balls and chicken sliders were not memorable. My girls and I were also not fans of the strawberry dream cocktail. This restaurant definitely has potential, but the food and service just didn't live up to the vibe you get when you first walk in. read more

This place was HORRIBLE! I went for a brunch and a Day Party afterward. We were a party of 8 and not one person was satisfied. They didn't have 75% of the very limited lunch menu. Then what they had was barely edible. My French toast was made from a hamburger bun! Steak was tough. Eggs were runny. Salad was old. Drinks were ok but they said they ran out of fruit for the drinks. It was 1pm! We wound up getting Pizza from next door which was really good. It saved us. Our waitress did the very best she could. She was really trying to be helpful but management put her in a bad situation. The Day Party was EPIC! It happens the last Sunday of every month. The music was great the crowd was nice and everyone had Pizza from next door. read more

If you only care about (1) ambience (2) music (3) IG pictures, this is the place for you. If you care about (1) service (2) food, this place leaves much to be desired. We had to ask multiple times for water, we had to ask for silverware, I ordered parmesan truffle fries and I didn't taste any truffle in it. The waitress was really disengaged and didn't seem to care that we were missing basic things. After eating food, my friend and I had stomach pains. :/ The venue is cute with tons of neon signs saying things like "you're like really pretty" or "it was all a dream." And it was my dream to eat good food with good service. But my dream was deferred. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Rebel Cafe & Garden - SMASHED AVOCADO TOAST - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

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. read more

It's hard to put into words the experience that I had at Rebel Cafe & Garden. From start to finish, I've never felt more alive than I did during my visit at this backyard oasis of paradise. I feel I would be doing humanity a disservice if I simply left a review of a drink or a description of a plate. I am an artist so I will provide you (Yelp) with a compilation of memories from that night that I still hold close to my heart. "Ricky Martin, beanie babies, orange flip flops, meatball hoagies, my aunt Beverly, blueberry pancakes, steam engines, Ricky Martin, goats milk, Invisalign surcharges, 7/11 slushees, Doodle Dust, Earnest Hemingway, pin stripes, Ricky Martin, toe socks." read more

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! read more

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 read more

I'm so happy to celebrate my friend's birthday here! The staff are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.

So I'm in town to visit my girlfriend and she saw this place on TikTok. We get here, and it's kinda cool I guess (if you're into that sort of thing), and the music was fun (if much too loud) however, that's kinda where the good stuff ends. I ordered the wings (I'm a big wings guy) and she ordered the salad, and I kid you not the wings took a full hour to get to our table, and were ICE COLD. Also her silverware was COVERED in little bits of food. GROSS! I wanted to say something, but my girlfriend (she's too nice sometimes) told me not to. The whole place is honestly just kinda dirty. Anyway, we left and I think it's safe to say we won't be coming back. Skip read more

Make sure you check the final balance on your check. They will apply 20% tip twice - once when you ask for check and again when they swipe your credit card. They probably hope you are drunk enough to walk away without knowing. Plus a $20 moscow mule? LOL read more

The staff here are REALLY nice, however, they all seemed to be fumbling and confused. I ordered a glass of Pinot noir it took two bartenders to find a half empty bottle somewhere that was not bar... strange. Their brunch menu consists of like 5 things which to me is strange but hey... 5 things.. they must be perfect. The avocado toast was amazing but definitely should not be considered a main, very glad we decided to treat it as an app. the chicken and waffles were pretty good. Now, my friend had the French toast when she cut into it.. it was visibly under cooked. She sent it back and they returned with a sort of charred one but the inside was really doughy... strange. She just went for the tater tots which she enjoyed Vibe is nice here 90s rnb playing very cute decor. The outdoor seating area is not as warm as o thought it would be so we opted to eat inside. read more

The DJ gets 6 stars, fantastic. Throwbacks and current hip hop/R&B LOVED HIM. My girl and I shared the beet salad, the shrimp appetizer and some fries. They were out of something that we both really wanted so we stuck to the basics. Drinks also get 5 stars. I had the Oaxacan old fashioned, beautiful presentation but the taste was not for me. Switched to Hellfire and loved it. Ambiance 5 stars, absolutely gorgeous and tons of IG-worthy photo opps. read more

Horrible service. Unfriendly staff. We left before ordering because the table beside us couldn't get service. The engagement from staff seemed forced and not happy. they do bag search is okay as long as they explain that they're about to do instead of demanding ID's and for us to open our bag. read more

Found this restaurant recommendation from TikTok and it was just ook ... so apparently they have times for everything, today Sunday brunch ends at 4pm from 4-5pm is their "twilight" hour which means they basically serve appetizers and drinks and 5pm dinner starts. for all their tables they have a 90 min max rule at which point I guess your asked to leave. They have indoor and outdoors seating, we sat inside but outside looked more fun . Today wasn't to busy we arrived at 4:30 and left after 6pm... you can tell it typically gets really busy . Their is a bouncer at the entrance that will iD you and check your bag. Overall the staff was very nice ! Since we arrived during their twilight hour we started with apps we ordered their Buffalo wings they where delicious and not too spicy I had their Prosecco and my partner ordered the Mexican mule. In my opinion the Mexican mule smoky taste was to much I didn't like it . By 5 we got to order dinner (and thank god because we where starving!) the dinner options they have on their webSite was ehh so we went with the tacos I got the shrimp and my partner got the chicken both where delicious but with only 2 tacos each left much to be desired .. so we ordered another app beef sliders also delicious! But only 2 again and the patty is smaller than the tiny bun. At this point we also ordered their strawberry dream drink which was good . My only complain is that both times we ordered our drinks we had to wait a while to get them meanwhile I see them just sitting there ( the bar was not to far from where we where seated ) at one point I almost got up To get it myself! I mean even though everyone was sweet it seemed like no one was in a rush to wait on us we even joked that it seemed like everyone was high due to their calm snail pace , and that's that today wasn't busy can you imagine if it was ? Overall though it was a nice experience I want to try their brunch menu which looked nice , the cocktails we did try where good but at $16 each where a bit pricey in my opinion! There is a difference if you pay with card or cash so if you can I recommend you bring cash read more

1. Tried to make a reservation over the phone for garden but no one picked up. When I mentioned this to the hostess she said they knew about the problem but seemingly did not care to fix it. 2. Were sat directly in front of a large speaker blaring music even though there were many other empty tables. 3. Drink (strawberry dreams) was mediocre and not worth $16. Also the straws are too short for the glasses they use. A coffee was brought over with a hair on the cup. Not a huge deal but was awkward to watch the server remove it in front of us. 4. One of us ordered the BLAT and asked if fries came with it. Our server said she wasn't sure but would give us a side if they didn't. The sandwich DID come with fries but they also gave us a side which we were charged $10 for. The bacon on the sandwich was soggy & undercooked. 5. One of us ordered the baby gem caesar salad, listed on the menu as including asparagus, sugar snap peas, and avocados. The server asked if I'd like anything else, ie: chicken, avocado, added. I said I'd just like the avocado (because it was supposed to come with). The salad came out with chicken, avocado, NO asparagus & NO sugar snap peas. It was $25, I was charged extra for the avocado. I mentioned that I did not ask for the chicken (I'm a vegetarian) and she apologized and reminded me numerous times that I would not be charged for it. Of course, I shouldn't be charged for it I didn't order it. 6. Which brings us to the bill. We were charged $25 for a salad that was missing literally half of the ingredients, and I was charged $3 extra for the avocado that was supposed to be in the salad anyway. The price for coffee, one cocktail, one salad, one side of fries we didn't order, and one sandwich was $76.99 (for cc, $74.04 for cash). When we were handed the credit card back with receipt we were charged a different price than our bill, $80.06. Not sure why. At this point we just wanted to leave. The server was very nice but there was so many problems and everything was wildly overpriced. Would not come back. Feels like we were scammed. Charged a different price than our bill!? Charged $25 for a small salad that wasn't anything but lettuce and avocado. I hate to complain about any restaurant but we're so deeply disappointed and confused by that entire situation. The experience was surreal. read more

This place is a hidden gym. I really like it. I would've given it 5 stars, but they do not have hookah. The food was good. The drinks were good. The music, OMG! The music was bomb! The DJ played everything. He had me going crazy when the Afro beats and Reggae came on. Then he switched to pop and I was still lit. This spot is LGBTQ friendly meaning don't stare at people who present different then you if it's not your norm! Quick lesson on visibility.

The bar tenders come across flustered and there is lack of management. The drinks themselves were fine, price wise, what you would expect. Unfortunately, it was difficult to get a drink as they take a very long time. Worst of all the bartender BROKE my credit card, and was all shoulders shrugging as if it was my fault. If you're into hip hop then this is your safest bet around the neighborhood. It's open late and has a solid pizza shop next door. As far as the patrons themselves, you get all types, from hipsters to people thinking they're tough. Good luck. read more

I had the frozen drink it's only one one the menu; it was more on the sweet side; so I ordered a shot of "CASAMIGOS" & mixed it (BOMB DRINK) try it. The watermelon margarita; sugar rim that was good too; they have more flavors but it's not listed on the menu. Simply ask what flavor margaritas the bar can make; and the waiter will list the options. I didn't get to order the seafood tower apparently they had no more. Definitely have to go back to try that! Instead I tried the Parmesan chicken it was good, my friend had the Burger that was good too. The vibes, the ambience, the music, the host, the manager, our waiter; everything was perfection everyone was very professional. I think they work well as a team, they kept checking in on us. I really appreciate the service I received here. After all that drinking you will get hot and outside is hot! I think adding fans in the sections in the garden would be a great addition to this establishment. I'm going back love it here ! read more

THE STAFF IS AMAZING! I was so shocked how on point the staff were. They were on point, checking in on our tapas, meal, and cocktails. They were patient for every single question we had and substitutes. Everything we ate was incredible. Not many vegan options though. There's hookah outside I believe. As well as very loud dj music on weekends. Which I wasn't aware of but still had a good time. Just hard on weekends to have a full blown convo. read more

First time visiting here & have to say I was impressed. This place is definitely set up to take Social media photos but it's beautiful. There are 2 indoor bars, 1 of them has seating outdoors. The outdoor seating consist of patio like couches, tables & chairs. Indoor seating is more romantic or for groups of 2-3. It's definitely a beautiful vibe here. Gets packed after 7pm since it's 21 & over only. Definitely want to return. The food wasn't the best to me but the drinks were nice. Definitely worth trying out read more

I passed by here on my bike a few weeks back, and the ambiance and decor made me flag it on google maps. Inside though? Even better. Great service, great drinks.

There's a DJ after 8PM on the weekends for sure (not sure about weekdays), and definitely diverse in the clientele and music, which definitely makes it a lit spot for calm drinks and good music on a Friday/Sat night. read more

Stumbled upon Rebel Cafe one Saturday morning and got a solid brunch with a fun atmosphere. The outside seating area is so fun and very instagrammable. The music was also bumpin. When we arrived they said that there was going to be an aerialist, however we must've left before she got there. Regardless, atmosphere is 10/10. For brunch we got avocado toast and the breakfast burrito with no meat. Both were delicious! They also had great drinks! I got a Bellini and really enjoyed it. The only thing I could ask for is a more extensive brunch menu! The options are limited, but you can't go wrong with any of them! read more
