Had the awesome pleasure of stopping in for a tasting…read more I did the reserved tasting. Very tasty age bourbon. The tasting flight was 20. After the tasting I purchased an affogato and a bottle of gin. Service was prompt and courteous. Both bartenders were very knowledgeable. Decor is industrial with a touch of ole west.

It's a perfect place for a thoughtful cocktail without the crowds. My wife and I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon while our son was celebrating a birthday with his friends at the Brooklyn Battle Blaster Nerf Arena nearby. We had the place entirely to ourselves when we arrived, and that hour of peace and quiet with a great drink felt just luxurious. Bitter Monk comes from the same team behind Sugar Monk, the amazing cocktail bar in uptown Manhattan. It's an intimate bar that doubles as the tasting room for Atheras Spirits, their micro-distillery. The menu is built around house-made amari, herbal liqueurs, and bitters, with herbs, roots, flowers, and wild plants (many of them foraged) worked into the drinks. Added bonus: Everything they pour comes from New York State. The space itself is gorgeous. Colorful stained glass glows behind the bar, framed by a metal piece that reproduces the Atheras Spirits logo. The ambiance is elegant but relaxed, cozy with a loungey vibe; the kind of place where you can settle in without feeling like you need to dress up. I had the Devil and the Blue Sea (Svol aquavit, Atheras Akhenaten amaro, tamarind, yuzu, lime, patchouli, and baharat). It was complex and layered without being muddled. My wife had the Gaia Martini (Atheras Botanical Monks Gin East, Method dry vermouth, Svol aquavit, and Atheras mastiha liqueur), a beautifully herbal take on a classic. Both were excellent. A friend who doesn't drink joined us later, and he had real options. He ordered the Butterfly Field, a zero-proof cocktail with Lyre's London Spirit, yuzu, lime, lavender, butterfly pea, orange blossom, juniper, pepperberry, and egg white. It got the same care as the regular cocktails, not a token mocktail. Side note: They don't take reservations; it's first come, first served. Happy hour runs Thursday through Sunday until 4 pm, with a choice of four cocktails for $13-14.

The bartenders were welcoming and friendly and explained their cocktail menu. They let us sample some of their gin before we decided on which cocktail we wanted. They have a small tasting room with bar seats, a few tables and two couches. Most cocktails were $15 each and very delicious/fresh! I tried two different ones and liked them both! I watched them freshly strain the raspberries to make the raspberry syrup that went into one of the drinks. Overall, the service was excellent and the cocktails were top notch! I would definitely recommend making this a stop when you need to get out of the heat and want a fresh handcrafted cocktail.

Walking in to the place you wouldn't think much but the staff is incredibly friendly and the drinks are delicious!

This place is definitely worth stopping by.

They had just opened so I was the only one there save for a barfly or two. The bartender chatted me up and even gave me suggestions on other places to visit in the area. Those suggestions turned out to be why I was recently reminded that I was the baron of Park Slope! Lol. This is the definition of a dive bar. They have a pool table on a platform in the back. They also have at least half-a-dozen pinball machines used by a local pinball league. The vibe is chill and friendly and the drinks are strong. There's a loyal Jeopardy crowd too, so how can your go wrong?

So the first time I went to this bar, I kept being referred to as "Ming." I'm Asian, but my name is…read moreNOT Ming. Recently I walked in late around 3am. There were about 20 male patrons in the bar. The female bartender informed me that she called last call. I said okay, but she said I had to leave. I looked around. There were still 20-25 DUDES sitting around. Long story short--I questioned her, and instead of explaining her reasoning like a normal human being, she called me dumb and said I had to leave. It was weird. She's a lanky brunette woman who apparently works on Saturdays? She obviously doesn't know what customer service means and sadly revels too much on the attention of male patrons. I would've said more to her that night, but I simply felt bad for her. Even the bouncer apologized for her behavior... Edit: I've lived in the neighborhood for over a decade. Wish this could be my local spot, but time and time again it's been proven to harbor the worst of attitudes and behaviors. Below response = indication of the classy staff running the place...

I really, really wanted to love this place. I love non-alcoholic spirits, functional beverages,…read morenon-alcoholic beers and wines and cocktails. So when I heard this place in Park Slope had a full bar without a drop of alcohol in it, I got very excited. So back on May 2nd, early afternoon, my wife and I popped in and had a few cocktails while we did the Saturday crossword puzzle. We adored it! Great kinda art deco-ish vibe, very "detective noir." The bartender was excited and talked a lot about the products available. We spent roughly $60 or $70 and had a fantastic time. Today, Saturday August 8th, we thought we'd do the same thing since we were in the neighborhood. It was almost as if we experienced two different restaurants. My wife needed to use the restroom, so she did that first and sat down at the bar. Immediately, the person behind the bar told me "We aren't doing drinks, just food." I was then told that cocktails don't start until 4pm (which is wild, because it was around 1pm when we were there back in May!). I wasn't offered a list of drinks that were available, just told "No drinks." The bartender then added "Everything we have is zero proof," as if I was going to be upset about that. Of course I already knew this -- that's why I was there! The whole experience was extremely unwelcoming. At that point my wife came back and was looking over the brunch menu. I had wanted to leave, but she decided on a hibiscus tea... which it took her about five minutes to order, because we couldn't find anyone to take our order in spite of there being three front-of-house employees and only four patrons in the entire place. Ultimately I had a club soda (which was $4 for 7 ounces!) and we did the crossword and left. So we spent about $15 total, instead of the $60 we spent back in May -- and which we were planning to spend today on two rounds of NA cocktails. I worked service industry for a long time (over a decade), and the vibe I get from this place is that no one in management has done the service industry time that it takes to know how to run a place like this well. It has that feel of top-down lack of experience. It's a shame, really, because this place has so much potential and there's not really anything like it in the neighborhood. But as it is, they are basically just walking away from all the money we'd gladly spend there if the place made any sense or did a good job of being, y'know... a bar and restaurant. One note: I'm attaching an image of my receipt, because I have noticed the owner likes to claim that reviews are by people who went to some other restaurant and were just confused about Mockingbird. We aren't confused. Here's the receipt to prove it.
