This is such a charming neighborhood spot. I love the pool table, the kitsch decor (Elvis bust!) and the burgers/fries are great. So glad to have a reasonably priced spot in Dumbo. read more

For many people a restaurant with live music, good food, attractive décor and in a hip neighborhood equals 4 stars. I have to give it only three because there exists a small few, my husband among them, who loathe live music. What? You say. It can't be all live music. It must be rock, or jazz, or funk, or really saccharin sweet female folk singers. No. He hates them all. For all the Whos in Whoville who aren't my Grinch husband, you'll probably be pleased to know that Superfine in Dumbo brings in bluegrass bands every weekend for brunch. Superfine is a place that for many would be a four star eatery. Their menu is determined by what's locally available. The scour the farmers market and whip up a menu based on what they find. Dinner is so variable that no printed menu exists - they hand write a new one each day. Brunch is a bit more reliable, as brunch foods are fairly steady. They have fish tacos, heuvos rancheros (with hatch green chili!), pancakes, a breakfast burrito, etc, and all are quite good. My music-hating green chili-loving husband declared, "This is good! Let's make this our new brunch place!" But what about the music? I asked. "Oh, yeah," he said, thinking it over for a bit. "It's okay." Victory! Superfine, you melted his Grinch heart just a little. And for that, you are truly worthy of your name. read more

I wish they had a website or a menu online so I can properly recount the conversation I had with the bartender. Me: ::looks at drink menu:: Can I please have a [drink made with house infused tequila that sounds good] Bartender: No, sorry, we're out of that. Me: ::looks at menu again:: How about the [drink made with house infused rum] Bartender: We're out of that too. It's the end of our week and we're out of a lot of stuff. (I was told by someone who ate here that they had several food dishes that were gone as well). This discussion happened on a Saturday night. Now maybe this is the kind of place that gets great weeknight business, but the weekend is usually when bars and restaurants make a lot of money. So I ordered a Manhattan made with Knob Creek. It came out to sixteen dollars. Now I like Knob Creek, it's pretty decent, but you can buy a bottle for $35, which is what two drinks of it at Superfine. What an obscene ripoff. read more

This is one of those places that makes a lot of lists, you know? It's very fun and funky, and the decor is really interesting and makes for a good instagram. It was hard to pick what I wanted on the menu! The only problem was that it was LOUD and it was fairly early when I want because, you know, brunch lines. The service was great, though, and we didn't have a problem finding a seat! read more

Superfine - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I LOVE this bar. Not only is it very reasonably priced (my gin & tonics were $5 each, and the bartender gave me the same price well after happy hour was over) and cool (brick, multi-level seating--you can actually sit above the bar and watch everyone--and really neat lighting), but it's fun--everyone's nice--and it's an easy walk from the F train. It's nice to take a cigarette break, look out at the old-fashioned cobblestone-esque streets, and gaze out over the river. The bartenders are all very friendly and helpful. I didn't order food, but I saw some stews go by that looked really amazing. (Expensive, though--I think a pork stew, which was certainly not large enough to share, was around $15.) They even have events--a ho-down, live music. Plus a pool table. A great place to spend a weekend night. read more

I can only review the service because myself and my other half walked in. Asked if we could sit at the bar and as we sat down the bartender didn't even acknowledged us being there. He kept on walking back and forth. Fed another employee chocolate while we waited for him to finish hoping we can grab his attention. 7-10 min passed by another couple sat at the bar and he directly went to them. Needles to say we walked out. read more

A great place to share some drinks with friends and talk. Classic DUMBO as it has tons of space and an air of artsy coolness. The drinks prices are about average, as long as you dont let your girlfriend order the COSTMOpolitain (a 16$ cosmo). Ive tried it once for dinner and was satisfied but not extremely impressed, though the ingredients were very fresh, the fish I had was underseasoned. Im willing to give the food another shot, but I'll keep going back for the nice atmosphere. read more

It'ssssssssssssssss alright, I guess! But don't dare order a Guinness here. I've never in my life seen such a badly poured Guinness--was it the bartender's first night? I mean, we're talking it looked like she had poured a Coca Cola! She was nice enough when my boyfriend politely asked for something in the bottle instead. My wine was drinkable. Nothing remarkable about this place, although I like the location and the decor (high ceilings, lofty place). I'd return, but I'm not especially chomping at the bit to do so, not when Rebar is across the street. read more

Great atmosphere and delicious food that is interesting and innovative without being weird. Go right now and try the grilled calamari appetizer! My friend had the burger which he really enjoyed, and I had the fish tacos (I'm always a sucker for fish tacos) and they did not disappoint. Bonus points for ginger beer on the drinks menu, although all the cocktails sound yummy. I'll definitely be back. read more

I love the not-coin-op orange pool table. I love the friendliness of the patrons. Occasionally, I love the live music. I love the wooden interior. I'm ok with the nice lesbian bartender who seems to be really friendly to my pretty friend I tend to come with, and how she complete forgets who I am without my pretty friend. And I really love the bench with the painted faces on it outside that I can sit on while my smoker friends do their thing. read more

This places rating needs to come down, seriously. Great venue but terrible food and ridiculously overpriced drinks. A great time is dampened by an exorbitant bill in the end. read more

Excellent service and super friendly staff. All of the food are excellent and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was fun and vibrant. Great young crowd. read more

SUPER FINE. Nice space, good food, FREE POOL. read more

I must say the atmosphere is nice, but wow, my friends and I ate here last night and NONE of us were pleased with our meals. We tasted each others and hands down, blah. Not worth the wait, but the bartenders were cool, gave us a round of shots. I really can't remember what the dishes my friends ordered, that tells you something... They were totally generic, closer to mass produced chain restuarant food. We did tell the waiter and he gave us dessert on the house (nice), but those too seemed like they came from a box. Expected more from such limited menu. Oh, and the schpeel about being organic and fresh, blah blah blah...hmmm - questionable. I would not go out of my way to go back. Extra star for the bartenders coolness and the waiter comping dessert. read more

Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday and wasn't able to have a conversation with my friend over the music. Food was fine, but nothing memorable. Probably wouldn't go again if I wanted to speak to anyone else or hear myself think. read more

I was in the neighborhood for a film so I wanted to try something different so local and Mediterranean sounded right up my alley. I ordered the French onion soup, which was lukewarm. My bf ordered pulled pork tacos and a sandwich with a side of chips, both were underwhelming. I ordered a Chilean sea bass, which was pretty steep,(attributed to local procurement) but again, the fish was lukewarm and the portion left me hungry for more. I'm not sure but I feel as if we ordered more alcohol we would have received better service. read more

great interior, but a small ever-changing menu with very few veggie options and no snacky small plates. The decor and name pleased me no end, but I really wanted an entree size salad and had to go with angel hair with cauliflower, onions and virtually no sauce. Eh. I'd drink at the bar again for sure if I was in Dumbo but I wouldn't seek it out for chow unless I was a meat eater :) read more

Superfine is super good! The food is tasty and unpretentious. My girlfriend had the steak and fries, I had pork chops and mash potatoes with asparagus. They had a good wine menu and the pricing was reasonable.The atmosphere is kinda shabby, but in a calculated (not intentional) way, and our waitress was a delight. The only disappointment came with the dessert. I got the brownie with whip cream (they made it sound much more appealing on the menu) and my friend had the ginger cake with lemon sorbet. We both strenuously wished that we had quit while we were ahead. But the food was so good we didn't think that we could lose with dessert. Oh well. We're still going to go back. read more

No complaints at all. Superfine is Superdelicious! My partner and I stopped in for a quick bite before skate night and were immediately impressed by the decor, service, and of course the food. This is a really cool spot that's away from the hustle and bustle of NYC; which is a major plus in my book. Also, they offer live music...a nice touch to your overall experience. The open seating, quality of food, and hospitality honestly reminded me of Nashville. I will definitely return. Tip: order the fluke fish and chips and raspberry shortcake for dessert. P.S As a farm to table establishment, their menu changes frequently....which sucks if you have a favorite item, but could also be awesome if you like trying new things! read more

This incredible restaurant is the pioneer of Dumbo and it's obvious in the details how they've outlasted all the others. The food is fresh, delicious and respects the planet. The environment is beautiful and welcoming with a friendly, knowledgeable staff and the owners (3 awesome women) are there every day! They support community, music and art in the spirit of the old NYC that you only hear about in folklore. I would recommend Superfine to all nice people. read more

I came on Friday night for a work event and had a great time. I was there for cocktails, networking and games. There is a pool table on the elevated level offered for Free to patrons. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but then again it is DUMBO...they do offer a happy hour which has more of a reasonable selection. The food is good and fresh....all in all it is a great spot to converse, hear music, play pool and chill out...Would definitely go back on my own. read more

Since we live a block away from Superfine, we wanted this place to be great so we will have a place to have a good food in a walking distance. It's great that they get organic food from local farm, I wish they knew how to cook them. We ordered shrimp salad, pork chop, zitti and of course beer. I can say that the beer was the best part of our meal. Shrimp salad was good but there was only 3 shrimp in shrimp salad. Pork chop was very dry. The zitti was so not special. It has a fun atomosphere. We may come back to drink but not to eat. read more

I love this place. The food is clean, fresh and really delicious On a recent trip there i ordered the salmon salad, calamari salad, a side of fries and 2 glasses of wine for me and my partner. The calamari was lovely and tender, served on a bed of artichoke and cucumber! Refreshing, light and perfect for a summer night. THe salmon salad was beautiful. perfectly done. The fries were super thin and delicious. Both salads were appetizers but big enough for an entree! We ended taking the salmon home and it kept nicely for brunch the next day. The service was on point, polite and made the experience wonderful. Will go back again soon. read more

Loved the place! The music was good, the waitress was really nice and the food was delicious!

Superfine it's a nice restaurant. I come here every once in a while If I happen to be in DUMBO. I like the general atmosphere, and the food is really tasty, but last time I had dinner there it was so loud.. I was barely able to talk with the people at my table (and we were 6!) Beside this annoying aspect, I highly suggested. Service is quick and nice. Particularly good are lobster salad and pork chops. And don't forget to try their French fries! Tiny and delicious! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. It can be hard to get in here without a reservation on the weekends, but it is soooo worth it. I order the superfine steak every time I go. Not only is the steak itself awesome, but the salad that comes with it is the freshest, crispiest salad I've had since moving to NYC. I'm from California, so I can be a bit of a produce snob. I have had great luck with service here, as well. The staff are very attentive, and bring things to you pretty quickly. I had my birthday dinner here, and the waiter noticed we were celebrating something by all the photos being taken. He brought over a complimentary drink for me, and put a candle in a slice of their [amazing] ginger spice cake. We never asked for any special treatment - never even told him we were celebrating until he asked. I thought that was pretty cool. These guys will have me as a regular as long as I live in the hood! read more

I wanted to walk on Brooklyn Bridge today. Before we started, we wanted to have lunch. We walked around the area a bit and decided to go to this place. People were very friendly. I think probably the thing is they have too few people working for the size of their venue and thus when they get busy during brunch hour, service slows down. Since this is my first time (and probably only the time unless I will be convinced otherwise in the future) trying this restaurant and I have no comparison point. We were seated immediately which was great. Live band was playing which was fun though a bit loud. So that probably is a wash there. Ordered coffee and 2 dishes (fish tacos and huevos rancheros. They were out of fish and substituted it with shrimp) from their brunch menu. It took full 15 minutes before coffee arrived and at least another 20min from there before food arrived. I thought that the tacos shell (soft tacos shell) was a bit too dry and coarse but that's probably up to everyone's taste - I just happen to like my soft shell very soft and thin. I thought their take of huevos rancheros was very interesting (a plate was flooded with beans) but then again, cooking is like art and it depends on chefs to interpret what makes a good dish. Only if the dishes were warmer, they would have been a lot better. Both dishes unfortunately got served lukewarm. I understand that this spot is very popular, so I may be minority and maybe I happen to hit them on a bad day and/or at bad time. read more

the porkchops were deliciousssss!!!!! the bar is the coolest it goes all around and has a high and low part but it definitely fills up fast. My friend and I were seated at at table over looking the bar. Aside from ordering the porckchop(which was seasoned well) i got the lemonade drink. That was good as well. My friend ordered the penni pasta which came with sausage and he doesnt eat pork but the waitress apologized and kindly took it back to the chicken to substitute with chicken. I will definitely be back and it is very affordable read more

Superfine - Porkchops - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Superfine is my local joint, and it is magical. The food is farm to table, and has been for over 20 years. I've been coming here for nearly 5 years. Dumbo is what it is because Superfine opened its doors a couple'a decades ago. I recommend subscribing to their newsletter -- it's quirky and charming... perfectly on-brand for this fine gin joint and starlet-studded stage room. Live entertainment, welcoming of everyone, warmed with original art and delicious fresh food...Superfine warms my heart. read more

We shoulda stayed put and had dinner here...but we didn't so I can't vouch for the food, tho it smelled mighty tasty, and had to have been better than where we ended up (at rice). But all that said, it fit the bill nicely for our pre-dinner, pre-dancing hang out spot--comfy couches (for sy to get her disco nap on), pool tables (for ko to play with the pros, and for the pros to hit you with their cues and butts), and drinkies (for me to imbibe while doodling happily). The vibe (despite the invasive cues and butts) was very chill and friendly. Gorgeous tall ceilings, warmly lit, and (to sy's delight) comfy couches. And I love that it's called Superfine, but is in a place called Dumbo. Next time I'm in Brooklyn, I'm just gonna stay there. I'm sure they won't mind... read more

The ambiance is great and very DUMBO. I love the live music and the bands! We were there last Sunday for brunch. We walked up the ramp but there was no hostess stationed there. We waited and there were other servers around who were walking by us and saw us waiting but didn't say anything. They could have told us that "Someone will be with you shortly..." but no they just ignored us. The food was ok. It was on the expensive side and small portions. I ordered the fish tacos and they only had 1 corn tortilla vs. the traditional 2 layered corn tortilla taco so by the time it got to me and i picked it up the taco fell apart. It was all soggy. The steak was cooked well but on the smaller side. read more

GREAT bar, cozy and super fine indeed! Had a lovely sauvignon blanc for $6. $6! Crazy. My friends cocktails were all very tasty, though the list seems to err on the side of ultra girl-y sweetness and sugar, which was a bit of a surprise because the bar has sort of a masculine-whiskey sort of feel. Split a pizza with marscarpone, ricotta and creminis which was very nicely prepared, flavorful and addictive! read more

I don't get what the negative reviews are about. I've been to Superfine about 5 times, all at varying points (Sat night dinner, weeknight dinner, Sunday brunch) and each time the service has been fine and the food has been delicious. Fun cocktail list. It's moderately priced for Dumbo. I get that the decor and atmosphere can be off-putting to some, but you should be able to recognize that that is an individual preference thing and Superfine is going for a certain aesthetic. Should be more like $$$, esp if you get a few drinks. read more

Our little trio came here after passing Grimaldi's horrendously long line. For dinner we shared the jumbo shrimp appetizer, which was grilled well. I had the roast half-chicken (tasty dark meat, dry breast meat) with a yummy side of mascarpone mac-n-cheese. My friends had the barramundi and pork chop. Overall the food was good. I enjoyed my meal. But for such basic dishes, the food was overpriced. I really liked the interior of Superfine. There's a bar when you first enter and an elevated area in the back used for dining. The decor is eclectic-- random diner-style furniture, various colored lights, exposed brick walls. It's fun and low key but nice. I'd eat here again if I find myself in Dumbo. read more

The drinks are very good. The waitstaff, not so much. The food quality, like the Dumbo arts community, is disappearing. I want this place to stay alive. I really do. My guess is that they are buying time. read more

Went Here Last Year For 31st bday it was amazing . I got me cake & drink on the house.

If you find yourself in NYC, in and around Brooklyn - you'll be happy you chose this place. Recently went to NYC for AfroPunk with some friends and we stopped in for a bite to eat and the food was pretty good, although the menu isn't very extensive. We had the jerk chicken wings (not spicy, but cooked well) accompanied with the kale house salad that could use just a dash of salt to bring out the flavor profile and a friend ordered the scallops and thought they were cooked to perfection! The best part though was the amazing service we received...the owner greeted us at our table and was very welcoming and attentive, as was the staff. The ambience was EVERYTHING and they have live music that begins between 6pm-7pm. We didn't get to enjoy the live music but we'll be back! read more

The best burger around. Staff is friendly and the food and cocktails are fantastic! Make sure to leave room for dessert, typically provided by local bakeries. Superfine is a tried and true gem! read more
