    Chicken tender basket
    Stephanie L.

    I wandered over here with my partner after a long morning of errands and total negligence on our part to eat anything. We were surprised by the number of options on the menu and the diversity of vegetarian options also available. For a Sunday morning there were alot of families with kids from the neighborhood having a great time. It seems like there are family specials and activities offered. There are plenty of tvs to watch sports and a few different seating sections. Fries were freshly made. Plenty of beer and drink options. Lots of dipping sauce availability. Great find.

    I've been going to The Dram shop for years. It's a chill spot to grab a quick bite to eat or have a drink while playing pool or choosing a board game from the variety available. My favorite item on their menu was the Deep fried mac and cheese, but they took it off. The regular mac and cheese is now my go to, it's so delicious. Their wings are fried to perfection with enough BBQ sauce to top them off.

    A local bar I hadn't had the chance to stop by & try before, but very happy I came in & will definitely be coming back. Sat at the bar to grab a happy hour drink & snack. Super quick & friendly service. The guys were very friendly & it's always nice to talk to people in the neighborhood. For a snack I ordered the Wisconsin Deep Fried Mac & Cheese Bites. Ooey gooey Mac & cheese on the inside & fried to perfection. Comes with a spicy ketchup to dip into, Could eat 100 of them!

    My go to bar in park slope when I'm looking for great tasty food and affordable drinks. I love sitting in the booth it's very cozy while I watch some tv or see who's playing pool. The service is great the bartenders are lovely and have a great sense of humor.

    Came to Dram Shop Bar during Restaurant Week and it was pretty good. I saw some reviews and was a little hesitant to come, but decided to try it out anyway and I'm glad that we did. It's seems like it's a chill, neighborhood bar. There's the bar area, tables, high top tables, and big booths. The booths can fit 6-8 people comfortably. The Restaurant Week deal came with a drink, 1st course, 2nd course, and a dessert. For the drink I chose Pinot Grigio which was pretty tasty. The 1st course was the wings for me, then I ordered fish and chips for the 2nd course. I wanted to try the sweet and spicy soy ginger wings but I was scared. Someone tell me how they are!! I couldn't find anyone writing about them in the reviews and the server wasn't convincing so I kept it safe with the BBQ. The BBQ was really good!! Well done, tender, and just enough sauce. The fish and chips were good too. The catfish came out piping hot and with remoulade sauce. The remoulade was just ok. Flavor was light, but it had a hint of spice. I don't like spicy so it was doable for me. For dessert, I ordered the brownie. The brownie was good and hot but I wish it would have come with ice cream. It came with whipped cream instead. Stole some of my friend's ice cream because she got the apple pie and that came with ice cream. Overall I enjoyed my meal. The service was good. He was very cool and accommodating. There was a pool table in the back and multiple bathrooms downstairs. Cool spot.

    Perfect Cosmo

    I always pass by this s place in my way to cvs. It's always lively. I'm goad I stopped in for cocktails. The bartender made the most perfect Cosmo, the color was a perfect ballerina slipper pink! And the taste was a perfect balance! The food that was passing by looked amazing too. I'll have to come back for a meal next time!

    Fish & Chips Combo
    Andres V.

    I visited The Dram Shop Bar for Halloween and was pleasantly surprised by their hearty pub food. I tried the Fish and Chips and I ordered a Grilled Chicken Sandwich. The Fish and Chips were crispy and golden, just the way I like them. The fish was flaky and soft on the inside, and the fries were the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were a tad bit salty but nothing some ketchup can't fix. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was a pleasant surprise. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and the combination of lettuce tomato and bacon made for a flavorful and well-rounded sandwich. And the bread was super toasted and crunchy which is what I like. The atmosphere at The Dram Shop Bar is exactly what you'd expect from a cozy bar. It's a great place to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy a cold drink.

    The Dram Burger Double Combo

    Great atmosphere and great food. I normally come in for happy hour but, we missed it by 20 min so I ended up ordering the dram burger and it was AMAZING. So fresh, juicy and super filling - had to take the rest home.

The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well. They have a pretty deep beer menu which I loved. The food menu is Irish influenced bar bites. We had the wings which were nice and crispy. The center of attention was the waffle fries nachos. You can't go wrong with a potato vehicle to fresh toppings. All and all great fun spot for sports and gatherings. Also this is a melting pot. Various ages, groups, backgrounds, saw a few families. All are welcome. One flaw is St. Patty it appeared that our waiter who was superb was the only one working so it was a bit of chase to close out.

    Solid Irish pub....i have only been here at lunch (I don't go out at night much if I'm not blowing…read moretrumpet at a gig or rehearsal). In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!

I'm Dominican so I know oxtail pretty well and have made it myself. Thankfully, this place absolutely delivered. The oxtail was perfectly slow-braised, tender, and falling right off the bone -- exactly how it should be. Absolutely amazing. Of course I had the rice and peas, plus some veggies. A few of the veggies were slightly overcooked, but still flavorful and enjoyable. The drinks looked incredible, but I went with the rum punch and loved it. It was a little sweet, but super flavorful, strong, and definitely worth ordering again. For dessert, I had the Hennessy cheesecake, which was rich, decadent, and unbelievably delicious. There were three of us dining, and we all left completely satisfied -- with take-home containers because the portions are VERY generous. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that our server seemed to focus most of her attention on my friend. She is Jamaican, and because I look like a white American woman, I felt a little overlooked at times, even when I had several requests myself. We also had to look for her a couple of times while she was sitting with a group nearby. That said, everyone overall was very nice and welcoming. The bussers especially stood out -- they checked on us often, kept everything clean, and even greeted me in Spanish, which I appreciated.
