Vegan hot dog, regular hot dog, and summer margaritas
Allison D.

This gem has been an all time favorite for me in the Kensington/Windsor Terrace/Prospect Park area for a few years now. I love sitting indoors and outdoors, in the summer or winter. I usually get a mug of cider and a vegan hot dog. I would actually recommend getting two hot dogs every time, they are so delicious. It must be how they drizzle the ketchup and mustard all over it for me so well. Tip your bar tender and talk to your neighbors at the bar because the folks are decent and kind here. Thank you!

KCBC Marble of Doom V blueberry sours

A cool place to chill (outdoors in nicer weather) and sip some beers. Their selection of fruit sours was absolutely top-notch, with KCBC Marble of Doom V blueberry sour being my favorite.

The Adirondack is very cute bar to socialize with friends. The environment is small which is gives that personal touch like your hanging out in your living room. Will be back to this establishment, cheers.

Our beer was cold and refreshing, the service was friendly, and the tables in the parklet out front were perfect for a sunny but chilly afternoon. The ambiance inside is cozy. The decor fits the name perfectly.

*3.5/5 maybe I have never craved a hot dog but I did the day I came to the Adirondack. It was a solid hot dog. Fixed the need. The crispy onions were a sweet touch. Also the thing about your taste buds becoming desensitized as you age is kinda true bc this was the first time I willingly ate yellow mustard and didn't hate it

What a lovely bar to sit in and relax and talk about your day with our large group of friends…read more Elsa is large, quiet, comfortable and inviting. We all had different cocktails and I asked for a shot of Don Julio Tequila which was "Far" from one shot - let's just say here at Elsa's they are VERY generous! This was perfect place to start our night as we were walking next door to the Yemeni restaurant where they serve no alcohol - not even a BYOB! Elsa's was the beginning staging area of our busy night.

I've been to this cocktail bar regrettably only twice even though I live (or rather lived upcoming…read moresoon) around the corner. It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.

Pretty elusive and mysterious vintage bar located across from Carroll Park. It's dim-lit with…read morecandles and simple decor, which makes for a perfect date night spot. The service was also great as the bartender was quick and got us our next drinks as soon as he saw we finished our first one. During our visit, we tried the Matt's Ginger Old Fashioned, Brooklyn, Vulcano, and Palermo Fix. All cocktails were $14 each, which were all nicely made. The Brooklyn was very strong and the Old Fashioned is a nice classic with a hint of ginger flavor. The other two were lighter with twists of sour. They also offer some paninis, plus a toasted lard bread ($5) that we ordered. The lard bread is from Mazzola, which is absolutely delicious, but kind of sad that they only offer 4 pieces. Cool bar in the neighborhood with tasty drinks. It's such a simple, yet sophisticated bar. There's also a pool table in the back to enjoy.

A terrific old school social club turned bar. The space is dark and intimate with not a ton of…read moreseating. Their drink menu isn't very large but it's good especially the cocktails. The Neapolitan is my favorite. The only food items they have are a few panini's so don't come here expecting a full food menu. They have a pool table in the back and outdoor seating. The service is always quick and the bartenders know how to make a cocktail. Love coming here whenever I'm out and about in Caroll Gardens.
