    Negroni, Hibiscus Mule

    Came in in the middle of Saturday afternoon - it wasn't super busy and it felt laid-back. Bartenders were friendly. They have a good drink menu - their specialty cocktails are about $15 a piece. They have happy hour everyday from 5-7, which included $2 off of well drinks. Drinks were delicious!

    My partner and I needed to kill some time before dinner and stumbled in here on our way. We were pleasantly surprised! Great drink menu, reasonable prices, friendly bar tender, and cool decor. Exactly what we needed!

    Bartenders are really good vibes with individualistic shining charisma. Lived in the neighborhood for years and the bar is a local safe haven. Gab, Sophie, Kevin, Nick and Hannah are superstars! Great attention to detaik, always provide good banter with brilliant drinks and the playlist is always on point. Highly recommend!

    Had cocktails at Reclamation Bar on Saturday evening. Solid bar, that places emphasis on high quality drinks. Quality: During our visit tried three cocktails. The clear winner for me was Fire It Up! a mix of jalapeno infused tequila, lime juice, honey and hibiscus syrup, and IPA. A nice blend of bitter, spicy, and sweet. My second drink was Daisy Goes to Athens, another jalapeno infused tequila drink, but the flavors in this one did not mesh as well. My girlfriend stuck with Lavender Tom Collins, which is not my style, but she liked it enough to get two. Quantity: Strong and tasty drinks. Value: $14-$15 for Cocktails. Ambiance: Reclamation Bar is located in East Williamsburg. The dim space emphasizes the antique features that make the building unique. A large bar sits at the center, with all the different spirits on display. The music flips between 90s rock and more recent pop. There was also a private room in the back. Crowd: A decent crowd on Saturday evening. Service: Excellent bartenders. Parking: Limited street parking.

    Reclamation was an okay place to kill time between dinner and a party in Greenpoint. We waited at the bar for a long time to get drinks, then grabbed a table. Service was pretty bad; we made the standard hopeful eye contact with multiple people behind the bar who almost seemed to make it a point of not coming over. Since they were Mexican-ish (they have some kind of taco pop-up going on) I went for a margarita ($12, yikes). My boyfriend got a well gin and tonic ($5). The gin and tonic was reasonably strong and not bad quality. My margarita was small, weak, and flavorless. I could imagine the space looking pretty cool, but it was too bright inside and things looked a bit run down. The bar itself is unique. The vibe was weird, with too-loud music for a chill crowd. The dog-friendly policy was actually a detractor for us-- there was a dog that clearly did not want to be there hiding under the bar stools, barking aggressively. It calmed down a lot once he left. Bathrooms do not have mirrors.

    The worst bartender in the world

    Worst service I have ever received. I have never encountered someone so rude and unprofessional in my life. The bartender who refused to give his actual name and said his name was "pineapple" went out of his way to be incredibly rude to everyone for no reason. Before you could open your mouth to even order he would say something incredibly snarky with an insane attitude. He wanted to start a fight with everyone. I would never ever go back to this bar, and they even had cameras in the bathrooms. I have never felt the need to write a review but I truly have never experienced such disrespectful service. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Pictured below is the bartender that should be fired.

    This bar is another one on my wish list until yesterday I had a chance to go. I like about the vibes of the place, interior, decoration, furniture and the contrast of wood and green walls. My friend and I had a happy hour wine and drinks. We enjoyed this bar so much.

    Stopped by here for a pint or two on the way to a show. Very nice, rustic atmosphere. Decent beet selection and good service.

    This bar is known to locals so we decided to check it out, and I can honestly say I'm so glad we did. We were there on a Sunday so it wasn't crowded, I imagine it gets a lot busier Friday's and Saturday's bcuz the drinks are amazing! I'm not a big drinker and I enjoyed my hibiscus mule soooo much! My friends also got the thot hottie, and paper plane, they were also impressed! The bartender was super nice and fast. The prices were reasonable as well. If and when we're back to Brooklyn, we'll definitely stop by here again.

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!

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.
