Looking for an intimate speakeasy with superb cocktails? Look no further. Once you find the…read moreentrance, Bar Enzo transports you into a world of style, hospitality and creativity. The cocktail list is compiled with a variety of different spirits which the bartender is more than happy to explain, or make you something off the books that he thinks will be to your liking. As a group of ladies with all different tastes, they nailed it for all of us. Bar Enzo is newer to the area. If you are going during prime cocktail hour, we recommend making a reservation. They also give artsy postcards with your bill and if you collect enough of a variety you can get a free drink, all the more reason to go back and visit again! IG - Lentz_Explore

I didn't get the full experience here. We walked in before 10pm on a Friday. The place was so…read morepacked. There was live music upstairs, sounded fun.

The bar itself is very nice and accommodating, good ambience, extremely friendly bartenders and hostess as well as the Mexican barback who was so nice. The drink itself was delicious and strong.

As I said it's a snug spot. Definitely make reservs if you want a table. After a certain age I realized I may need a seat. LOL. If you like old school hip-hop, R&B, salsa, soul, funk...This is your spot. You may see me there.

The Record Room is EVERYTHING you see on social media and more. My experience exceeded my…read moreexpectations. The ambiance nice, cozy, and intimate The drinks are worth every penny The music was not too loud and I went on a night (Thursday) that I knew alllll the music and could sing along And service was on point. Two things you should know before going. The first they are a stickler on punctuality. You need to be on time for your reservation if not you will lose it. In addition they will send you about 5 reminders leading up to your visit. The last one being 30 minutes before your arrival. In addtion you only have 90 minutes at a table . And when the 90 minutes over.... its over, however you are welcome to stand. The second thing, this is not a let's get lit hookah kind of spot. Very GROWN and mature. You sing along with the people next to you ...you vibe. This is great for a person who wants a nice lounge vibe, great drinks, great music, and mellow crowd. It goes without saying....I WILL BE BACK!!!!!

As a fan of 929, I stopped by 56709 to check out their former location/sister bar that features…read morecocktails inspired by Japanese songs/anime. I enjoyed the speakeasy vibes with the dim lighting and neon pink/blue/purple highlights along with Japanese pop songs in the background. For drinks: --Momoko: My first sip was a little too sweet but after mixing and letting the ice melt a little, I enjoyed the fruity flavors of the peach/sherry. b --Usagi: Sailor Moon inspired drink with a cute moon-like orange peel for decoration! I liked the floral vibes of the drink, almost like butterfly pea, but didn't love the spray they added in the end. The gin wasn't too strong. --Yurie: 56709's interpretation of a margarita and I enjoyed the sansho salt instead of tajin. The spicy, slightly bitter yuzu pepper liqueur helped balance out the alcohol! --Ryuichi: Enjoyed the prominent sencha tea flavors that paired well with the herbacious campari --Ranma: A little too strong for me but an interesting mix of whiskey, black tea, chocolate, and red wine. The glass was super cute! Their snacks are from Gulp (which is the front of the store). The popcorn chicken was very well seasoned, tender, and crispy. The radish cakes were freshly fried and came with a good amount of XO sauce. Staff members were pretty attentive. Managed to get two bar seats for a walk-in on a Friday night! I had a good time at 56709 but I still like 929 more for their drinks and music.

First off the ambiance is vibey and cute for a date night. I love the open concept with the…read morekitchen. And the service is just ayce!! The staff and everyone was just INCREDIBLE. So personable and friendly. Between each course (appetizer, main, dessert) they clean ur table and gave fresh utensils and plates. Which I feel is a rare thing to do (at least back at home in CA). Now the food, AMAZING. We've been here in NY and had our fair share of vibey restaurants and hole in the walls. But this place serves vibes and actually lives up to the food. Usually you get one or the other but man I would def come back!! Check the pics for the food (: cheers!

I didn't realize they had separate brunch and dinner menus, and most of the items I originally…read morewanted were from the dinner menu. However, after trying their brunch, I am 100% coming back for dinner! Everything we ordered was incredibly good and well seasoned. Steak & Eggs (5/5): Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, super juicy, and well-seasoned. The sauce pairing was spot on. Croque Madame (5/5): A unique take on a classic! They served it wrapped in a crepe, and all the elements paired together beautifully. Blueberry Crepe (4.25/5): A solid dessert. While it wasn't anything groundbreaking, it was still delicious and well made. Absolutely love that they are also dog friendly! Can't wait to return to try the dinner menu

Whenever we plan work events, I usually take lead. For this particular outing, our entire team was…read morelooking to hold a celebration for achieving a major milestone. The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

It was crazy that they only had 1 waiter to handle everything, they should've at least had 2. We placed our orders and he was pleasant and apologized for being slow. The music was good, it wasn't loud, we were able to have conversations and not yell; it's a pretty place. Was a bit disappointed at their "buffet" it's your basic continental breakfast, it wasn't worth it. The steak and eggs was delicious.

We got a few things and felt like they were mostly just ok. Not bad! But not the best we have ever had. The French toast was covered with a healthy amount of whipped cream. Sweet but on the denser side - not very airy. The burrata was nice. My friend seemed to like it a lot especially with the red wine reduction. I think it was fine. The lobster roll was also fine. The lobster pieces seemed to be on the tougher side. Overall, convenient and nice spot for brunch if you're in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to try it, but the service is nice and relatively quick at least when we were here. You can opt to sit in our outside.
