I came with my partner and as we entered we were not greeted or sat . We were not helped in any way so we sat by the window and waited for a host or server to either serve us or inform us that they were not serving food tonight. Before we came , we called and were put on hold to be informed that it was busy but that they still were serving food. When we got to the place it was pretty sparse with a total customer count of 14 other guests. read more

Best egg sandwich. Kind of a divey place but amazing food and atmosphere. I've been coming here for a few years now. Glad they survived the pandemic! read more

In loveeeeee with their $15 brunch deals which includes almost any drink. Love the chill vibe and they have the best music. Sometimes i just go there to do work since they have pretty good wifi and i just shazam their music on repeat. read more

Great gem, hidden in a busy traffic area. Stopped in for lunch and immediately loved the atmosphere. Drinks and tacos. Personally lost my train of thought with my friend when I took a bite of the Cuban sandwich. Short order place with the best on taps. read more

staying in this neighborhood for a week, this would be so far the best lunch I had. I ordered personal omelette with 3 fillings by choice (tomatoes, onions and avocado) with tasty home fries and crispy buttered toast. The omelette was slightly over-cooked, but still taste good. For$11. It's worthy. read more

Skytown - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came on a late night so it wasn't many options on the menu. I had the chicken empanada, pork empanada and bbq wings. Where do I begin.... I would definitely recommend the chicken empanada it was good and flavorful. That's where my positivity ends. Everything else was horrible. Especially the wings. My friend got the hot wings and felt the same about theirs. So FYI stay away from those options. The place is cute and the staff is really nice and accommodating. read more

Skytown is a super casual Bushwick spot located under the J/M train tracks. Wait staff is very laid back and not super attentive but I prefer it that way. I've only been here for brunch but keep coming back because the breakfast sandwich is literally out of this world. They basically put a full avocado on it for you. The caramelized onions are to die for. The bun is ever so slightly crisp. The morning burger is also phenomenal despite being a bit messy. I want to keep this a secret spot but also don't want it to close for lack of business because I would be heartbroken. read more

Love skytown! It's conveniently right off the Myrtle-Broadway J/M/Z and is great for anytime. For brunch, the tacos and omelette are favorites. For dinner, the salmon is my great. They also recently got fries that are surprisingly good! They could improve their Bloody Mary though! read more

Called to see if we could place an order for pick up. Guy responds "I don't see why you can't just come in here and order it." Umm ok. I think I've had just about enough of this better than you, I'm too cool to be giving you even a second of my attention attitude that I get every. single. time. I come in here. I've learned my lesson. I'm sure you're the coolest guy in Brooklyn but if you could just make my egg sandwich sans snark I'd be happy. Thanks! read more

Healthiest most delicious late nite (3am) menu in Bushwick. Had the hummus platter and steak sandwich, both excellent. Hummus platter came with +/- one whole delicious homemade roasted red pepper. Olives could have been pitted but it's not worth knocking stars off. Pitas were tasty and warm, hummus was great and plentiful. Steak sandwich was incredible- also comes in pita bread. Slightly charred and medium rare, super tender. Drinks were great. Atmosphere was very chill and dim, perfect for late night dinner and conversation. read more

I've been a regular at Skytown for a few years now and this bar is exceptional at everything they do. They serve delicious food (GET THE TACOS) the owners, Ari and Nick are always so sweet and friendly. Great drinks, and plenty of options to choose from draft. Fantastic and chill staff including BOH. Shoutout to JOHN, Ryan, Ariel, Lisa, and Camila. read more

My first experience at Skytown was great. Good Service, good food. Loved the atmosphere. Every experience since has gone downhill. The service sucks, the waiters (especially the guys) think they're soo cool. They act as if they're doing you a favor by serving you. They kind of forget its a job and go about talking to other staff members about "jamming" for 15 minutes. They also messed up my order on two occasions. Not worth the time or money. read more

I've been visiting the neighborhood for a couple weeks, and have been going to work in here for a few days because it was the closest place I could find with wifi. Also the breakfast is really good. The food and wifi are worth two stars. Minus 3 stars for the absolute obnoxiousness of the staff and patrons. Agree with someone else who said Skytown completely alienates everyone else who actually lives in this working class neighborhood. It doesn't make any attempt to fit in, charges 3+ times more for breakfast than anywhere else on the strip, and it feels like all the white people around are actually hiding inside. It's like it's their safe space where they can try to one-up each other with who has the more outrageous outfit, or who can whine more loudly about their fresh-out-of-college drama or latest hardship in the blogosphere. I actually overhead someone who works there, say to someone on the street "you should totally hang out in here, it's the only normal bar in the neighborhood." Then some jackass with a wicked curly mustache walked out, and the lack of self awareness in the air was almost suffocating. My boyfriend pointed out that I'd been loving the neighborhood and enjoying our trip here until I started hanging out at Skytown every morning, and I realized he's right. I started feeling like these little buggers were all over the place, and my hater alarms have been going off like crazy. Ya know, screw the egg sandwich, I'm getting breakfast and wifi somewhere else the rest of the time I'm here... I don't care if I have to walk 5 blocks farther. See ya Skytown. read more

This place just opened and looks very cool on the inside. A great mix of Cafe / Bar / Food. The menu is a good mix of breakfast and sandwiches, with a mini menu of bar snacks. Friendly staff from what I can tell on my first visit. I got the salad with feta / green beans / avocado and raspberries. It's good! I am looking forward to trying more of the menu. Pertinent info: I believe the bartender said they open at 8am. They serve food till 10 on thurs/friday/saturday but are open as a bar "until 2 or 4" I am super stoked this spot is right around the corner from my new place, was starting to get down on the lack of food options after leaving Greenpoint's many many restaurants. read more

I've tried several items on the menu now and all have been excellent! So happy I discovered this place. People are very friendly and nice atmosphere as well. read more

I had walked past this place numerous times and had been looking forward to trying it for so long. I'm not one for writing reviews but had to say something about my experience in here. Upon walking in, I loved the ambiance of the place and the food/drink menu looked great. Ended up getting two cocktails at the bar which were pretty good too. However, the attitude of the little blonde girl was beyond me. I am bewildered how some people end up getting jobs in the bar/restaurant industry. Aren't they meant to be courteous to their patrons? There was a dirty look from her the moment myself and my girlfriend walked in. No hello when we sat down. When we ordered our drinks, they were more or less slid across the bar to us. When we went to check out we handed a credit card to her which was slammed down on the bar to be returned to us. I can understand bar and restaurant staff being under pressure but the place was not busy so no excuse. As good as the drinks were, and as good as the menu looks, the level of service is what will be remembered in any establishment. In what I received tonight from this awful person, I don't think I'll ever return. If I were an owner reading this i really would reconsider hiring this person. She's turning away business. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, and cocktails that give the Narrows a run for their money. Will definitely be making multiple appearances here! read more

In my top 3 of Bushwikian establishments. Great for food and drinking. Not too loud, not too crowded, doesn't smell like foot, right off the JMZ, Skytown gets it right. A definite buy. read more

Very rude bartender as soon as I walked in asked for a menu she completely Ignored us and continued to stare like we interrupted her conversation. As we walked to a table to observe the menu she continued and to stare at us from the bar and roll her eyes. She has two pig tails. Her attitude made us feel very unwanted resulting in us finding a new location for dinner. Could've possibly been to us being of COLOR now that I'm reading other reviews smh. Please. Stop creating establishments in minority communities then treating US a certain type of way. Beware they are prejudice here read more

Thursday evening.Rude and unprofessional. Hey bartender, Serve and smile! or May be just racist... read more

Love this place! The waitress welcomed us and my dog openly and even had a bowl of water for my dog. Their food is delicious and drinks are great too. It's become my go to spot. read more

So I journeyed into Bushwick last night to meet friends at Skytown. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! It wasn't what I was expecting - super cute inside! My friends come here every week so they are friends with the bar tenders which is always a nice advantage. Before 10pm free shot with a beer! Pretty cool right? So much tequila.. haha Anyway, I am also a big fan of Killians so I was pleased they had it on tap. :) No cider unfortunately but hey can't win em all. Pretty funny story for you - I got locked in the bathroom. Yep, stuck, right about the time they turned the music up so of course no one can hear me. Luckily someone was waiting for the bathroom and they let them know I was stuck. haha Everyone kept asking me if the door was unlocked - uhhh ya, I'm not that dumb!? haha Luckily they got me out :) It was pretty funny. The bartender was nice enough to give us free shots for my "traumatic" experience. The only bummer of the evening was that my friend got her phone snatched. That really could happen anywhere though, don't leave the iPhone 5 on the bar! *** note *** I have heard now from another friend - last time she was there she overheard 2 girls talking about how both of their iPhones had been stolen... bartenders perhaps? I would love to come back for food sometime, looked really good! Note - the kitchen closes at 10pm read more

Best coffee spot in the neighborhood. Food is just as fresh and tasty. morning croissants come fresh from Roberta's. Friendly and accommodating service. Highly recommended before it get overheard from word of mouth and the masses start going. read more

Any establishment with indie music playing and a presence of 20 something's is going to get hate on Yelp. Apparently hipster attire and tattoos automatically means one is "trying to hard." Personally, I think Skytown tries just enough. Walking in, the first thing I noticed is a humble- looking wood paneled LaMarzocco espresso machine. I forget the roaster name, but my snooty-tooty barista/roaster/espresso freak friend nodded in approval. Good coffee, check. Scanning the bar I eye some pretty appealing drink specials and home- made ginger ale (or was it ginger beer? What's the difference?). I had a sip of my friend's cocktail, and though I don't remember what it was, I wasn't disappointed. Another check. The menu is modest, but well put together. Selections rotate on what I assume to be a seasonal basis. I've tried the skyburger (veggie or turkey), mushroom sand which, bacon sandwhich, spare ribs, some dumpling soup, egg sandwhich, an omelette, zucchini bread french toast, and a couple salads. Everything I've had was perfectly portioned, presented nicely, and delicious. Tasty grub, check. The seating area is spacious and casual; an awesome spot for a meal or just to hunker down and get some reading/writing/drawing/watching cat videos on YouTube-ing in. The music varies on who's working, sometimes it's not the vibe I'm in the mood for (c'est la vie) but usually on point. I haven't seen any of these "annoying, trying too hard" clientele some of the haters mention. Atmosphere, check. The staff is friendly and down to earth- not over-the-top fake nice. People are people and if you engage in conversation your kindness and humor will be reciprocated. But don't be shocked when your "EW OMIGOD HIPSTERS" scowl is greeted with a flat affect. You get what you give- bartenders aren't robots. I've had some great laughs here. Good service, check. Now, there are two slight pitfalls I gotta point out: 1. You will walk out smelling like a kitchen. Embrace it. It's a reminder of the awesome meal you just had. 2. My experiences with pick- up orders are a little ehhh; every time something was off, whether it be they forgot the topping on my burger or sandwhich (I was never charged for it though) or my bag was missing cutlery. The overall taste wasn't affected, but this is an area that could use improvement. All in all, Skytown is a winner in my book. I would encourage anyone to check it out day and night because there are different vibes depending on the time of day. And leave your judgey 'tude out on broadway. read more

Love this place. I have never had a bad time, a bad dish, or a bad coffee. OR A BAD DRINK, for that matter! Always good stuff. The bartenders are cool and humble, they play good music... I recommend the breakfast sandwich, SO GOOD. Put some hot sauce on it--blends reeeal nice with the cheese. NOMS. So glad this place is in my hood. read more

This place got 5 stars right away when I was greeted by the entire bar with a "Welcomee!" Friendliest staff I've ever experienced. Great, chill vibes on a weeknight. Music is always good. muy bien. read more

The food here is sooooo yummy and not expensive. Great date spot or just to hang out. Wonderful place tht me n my boyfriend frequent.

I ordered a draft beer, i random picked it because nothing was familiar from the beer menu but it was way too bitter and not good at all, so i asked the bartender( a white dude bartender who shaved side hair and had tattoos ) if i can switch to some other kind beer. he was very annoyed and charged me more $. me and my friends were chatting, but music was way too loud, also they were playing hard music, i asked for the bartender to turn the music little DOWN, and he turn the music UP. literally the opposite. me and my friend ordered food, it was not that special. little pricy for the quality. bottom of the line, that bartender's BAD BAD BAD service ruined my time with friends also waste of my money. read more

This place has the best veggie burger I may have ever had. I'm not even a vegetarian. It's a cute little bar and close enough to my apartment. The vibe is really relaxed and they have free wifi. People come during the day with laptops to work on stuff and have some good food. They have a few beers on tap and a good selection of hard alcohol. They have a few speciality drinks which I have yet to try but they all look tasty. My one and only problem with this place is that 4/5 times I've been there they have been blasting music to a point where it's hard to talk to your friends. This is even during the day when there are people trying to do work on their computers (which I don't know how they can concentrate). I went at night recently and I was surprised that the music was even louder. I was so tired at the end of the night trying to yell over the music just to talk to my friend sitting opposite from me. The bar is really good is most every other aspect and I will always go back (seriously that veggie burger is amazing), it's just the choice of music volume is not for me. read more

I can't attest to the food - I haven't eaten here yet but the customer service is on point. The only reason you're going to have to wait for anything is because the bartender is being nice to someone else. Just relax for a sec! You'll get your turn and it comes with a genuine smile and some friendly banter, worth an extra minute or two if you ask me. If you're judgey, high maintenance or generally a grump you'll hate it here. I'm none of those things (only moderately grumpy on occasion) and I like this place a lot - a lot, a lot. I like it enough that I go a few times a week (by "a few" I mean 5 ish but I swear I'm not a lush!) The people are nice, the space is cute, and the dranks just keep coming, all legit reasons to pop in and hang out. read more

Came to this restaurant because we know the owners from a prior restaurant, and I'm glad we did! We went for brunch on a Saturday and the place was pretty quiet, but had some great music playing and it was the perfect atmosphere for a lazy Saturday in Brooklyn. Our bartender was awesome! We started chit chatting about music and playing various artists for the patrons because of the conversations. No one seemed to mind at all! We did the brunch special where you get a drink with it. I had the morning burger (with a veggie burger patty) with a salad while my husband had a customized omelet. Both meals were amazing! The atmosphere is very laid back and the staff was super friendly. I would highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

People say service is a little spotty here, and sometimes it is (i.e. it takes a little while when they're slammed). For the most part, however, skytown is killing all day and all night. Cocktails are super cheap, there's some really good liquor on the shelf, and the food is fantastic. Best part of all? Everything is super cheap! I ate dinner here last night and half way through my meal i had a moment where i realized that i had only paid $10 for the wholesome, filling plate of food in front of me. Chicken strips at applebees cost almost that much. I know who i'm giving my money to. The staff here is very friendly and makes me feel welcome. Walk in with a smile and you're guaranteed to be met with the same. Plus they'll give you a beer. Add that up and you get two smiles and a beer. Want more than that? Then you're living outside of your means, papa. Reign it in. read more

Happy I finally got a chance to try this place. Decided to pop in for brunch. If you order mixed drinks they are tiny. The trumpet playing guy plays like he taught himself or is drunk. But the waiter was really nice. The atmosphere is roomy. And the food is delicious! I got the zucchini French toast. Very good. Very sweet. The polenta special looked the most awesome though and I would like to try it next time. read more

Have only been here for the dranx and wifi. Night-time gin cocktails are bomb, but pass on the bloodies. I love that it doesn't get too crowded, which makes up for the ditzy baristas who are probably still drunk from the night before (hey, we've all been there). This is the place to take your friend who lives in Midtown and likes to pretend she's "adventurous" but is secretly afraid of people. It sure as hell beats Little Caesars. read more

Mimosas and lots o' food if you're in need of a fulfilling brunch in Bushwick on a slow weekend. Also, it remains open until 2 a.m., so it could be a fine complement to a night out, I guess. Service is good, and the place has a strong hipster vibe (well, you're in Bushwick after all!). read more

Skytown - French toasts + mimosa on a saturday morning - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pros : Great tacos! Good beer! Decent place. Cons: Loud music, slow service and not the best cocktails menu. May 13 Delicious taco!!! 5 stars Weird waitress in red t shirt ( the old guy was much better) A bartender ( black lady in glasses) gave me a shot of whiskey for my first check in- it was just a mix of water and whiskey. The crapiest shot I've ever had. I told my waiter about it and the answer I get: it can't be. It was normal whiskey. All right. I'll come here maybe 1 more time to double check, and I hope I won't change my Friday night routine and will continue to come here since I live 1 block away. read more

Great service with a smile. I used to not really come here very often, but new ownership has made it delightful to visit even on the latest nights. I sometimes even eat here twice a day. Lol. *hearts* read more

Skytown - Special order made with extra love! - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Delicious and a great deal! $15 brunch with a great Bloody Mary included. If you're looking for a filling breakfast I would definitely do the breakfast sandwich with bacon, it also comes with a side salad if you're into that. Would absolutely go back again and again. read more

Skytown - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really cute little sandwich shop slash bar in a neighborhood where there really isn't anywhere else to sit down to eat or drink. On a recent lunchtime visit, there were the standard young Brooklyn freelancers posted up with laptops and coffee, and a grungy cyclist knocking back a whiskey straight and a Naragansett. My sandwich was really good but they were out of their house-made kombucha! So I had some ginger ale, which was a nice hangover cure. The barmaid was sweet and attentive. Probably fun at night. Low-key hidden spot for food, coffee, or inebriation. read more

Ughhhhhh! This place is too try hard. Within the one hour I spent here with my tiny cortado..I somehow accrued enough grease from the smoky air to leave smelling like butter and fried food (WHY!? Is there no proper ventilation in the kitchen?). OMG THE MUSIC (If you call it that) The music is horrible, loud and just SHOUTINGLY obnoxious! It was 4:30pm and everyone here was trying hard to think over the ridiculous mix. I suggested politely to the bartender if she could "please turn down the music or switch to something a bit milder? I love your coffee and want to come back again" but the bartender just gave me a "I'll try (not too hard) because we don't have any other music" look. 20 minutes later, she must have turned the music up because I swear I already had already adjusted my tolerance level (since she never turned the music down). ANNOYED. My friend and I up and left... ended up at the sweet Ange Noir Cafe instead. YAY! I CAN THINK AGAIN. Did someone say this place had good ass vibes? Yes. Good "ass vibes" indeed. Too bad I'm looking for good "brain vibes." read more
