    Fried Shrimp Taco.
    Leah B.

    The Dram Shop has been my favorite bar since the day they opened. The food and the vibes never disappoint, and the service is always on point. My ultimate favorite used to be the deep-fried mac and cheese--perfectly crunchy and cheesy. This time, I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, another one of my go-tos. It's always fried to perfection, and the fries are super fresh. The shrimp tacos are also packed with flavor. My drink of choice is the Pain Killer--not everyone knows how to make it right, but they definitely do. If you haven't been here yet, check it out. You won't be disappointed. They even have a pool table and board games to keep the night fun.

    Nachos and Burger w/ Fries

    I went here one Friday with my friend for dinner/drinks. We had margaritas, wings, nachos, and she had burgers & fries. The server was nice however it took a while to get the bill. The ambiance is laid back like any other bar.

    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.

    Brownie.

    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
    Tiffany H.

    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!

We always tend to gravitate toward Irish bars when we visit the city and it rains. Comfort food is always a must on a rainy day in the city. We split a chicken Cesar spinach wrap and the famous Irish nachos. Both were phenomenal, the nachos had a bit of a kick to them. Not much but enough to make you sweat. Very close to the Barclays center, walking distance. Highly recommend stopping in before an event or for their upstairs beer garden.

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.

He had been to the restaurant a few times - and had good things to say. We were not disappointed. I had the Brown Stew Red Snapper - *chef's kiss*. Hubby had the iconic Jerk Oxtail over Macaroni & Cheese Pie! The English language cannot convey the beauty of that combination! Tender, tender oxtail, falling off the bone with the creamy, cheesy mac & cheese! He wanted to savor that dish another day, so he got a to-go bag and took it back to the hotel! (I couldn't help but clean my plate - I was obsessed with the fish!) Our friend enjoyed the Hennessy Fried Shrimp (not pictured) - one of his favorite dishes at the restaurant. It looked delicious as well. For drinks, I had the Bob Marley cocktail. A colorful drink - flavorful - and effective! There were people celebrating their birthdays throughout the night - and the wait staff goes IN! I was enjoying watching at least 10 people receive the Stevie Wonder "Happy Birthday" song while we were there. Imagine my surprise when it was my turn! My birthday was the day before, and we had already celebrated in Manhattan. Having two special recognition events made the evening that much more special! Shout out to the Simpson crew who came with the song, the rhythm, the sparkling cake, and the good vibes! My 70th birthday was exceptional - without a doubt. The Simpson added the touch I needed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in Brooklyn!

    As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks

Located on Atlantic Avenue, the space itself is deceptively large. Upon entry, you are greeted by an L shaped bar, with high tops on the left, a booth in the front, and then several booths and tables in the back. There is a TV, but rather than sports like you'd see at most dive bars, there is usually a movie on. There is also a backyard to the bar, which is lovely in the summertime. As you'd expect, you order everything at the bar, food included, and there is no waiter service aside from the staff running your food to your table. There is a reasonable collection of draft beers, focusing on somewhat higher end beers rather the standard collection of macro brews. Additionally there are a handful of cocktails, and a few drink specials (I often take advantage of the shot and beer combo). The drink selection is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. There's also a food menu, including burgers, a hot dog, chicken wings and other bar staples. Overall the food is surprisingly good. I'm quite fond of the spicy smash burger, and the wings are pretty good as well. So far I don't think I've had anything that is poorly made, and they seem to put a bit more effort in to the food than other bars. What really sets the Hollow Nickel apart to me is the service. The bartenders are friendly, and help foster a community feeling in the bar. If you find yourself a regular, a nod and a smile will have your usual drink prepared quickly. The other patrons are usually pretty friendly, and it's not uncommon for me to find myself chatting with other people at the bar when I come for a drink on my own. I'm not quite sure what they've done, but the Hollow Nickel is just a nice place to be filled with generally nice people. If you want a drink and maybe some food, the Hollow Nickel won't do you wrong. It's exactly the type of bar you like to know is an option.
