    Margaritas from Draft
    Kay And Naj L.

    Naj and I went to The Steel Mill to chill and chat for a little. It was a nice spot on Bushwick Ave. in Brooklyn NY. The restaurant had an unusual decor looking like steel hence the name The Steel Mill. The bartender was so cute and friendly. She is from Ukraine. She was quick with getting our drinks which was Margarita from the draft. It was so refreshing. The meal was just what we needed to fill us up. Naj had the wings, I had shrimp tacos and we both shared the nachos. We visited a couple of more times and will definitely go again especially for the margaritas!

    Mocha Moms Brooklyn has their holiday party last night here. It was catered by Bushwick Grind, which has a cafe. The space is perfect. The staff pleasant. The food was delicious. They have a lot of outside space too. I definitely plan on going back and this will probably be a regular hangout spot for ne

    Eggs with tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet plantains and "chicharron".

    My friends and I were walking back home and wanted to stop by and grab some Latin food on the way so we came across this place. Immediately I was pulled in because it's such a cute space ! They ended up ordering 3 pupusas and I ordered "chicharron de cerdo" (pork rinds) with some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bell peppers and onions, some beans and sweet plantains. This should've never taken an hour to make. We got there at 4:30 and left at 5:47... my friends food should've taken at most 15-20 but then when theirs did come out we had to wait an additional 25 for mine to come out. I was willing to ignore this but people came afterwards and left before us. We weren't even offered anything to compensate our time. To top it all off when I got home and checked my food I saw that the "chicharron" was actually pork chunks instead and very hard to bite. I only got 3 pieces..... 3 pieces took an hour to make? Don't get me started on the lack of flavor this food had. Such a disappointment, wish I never spent my money here and I never will again. I recommend ordering from somewhere else if you want flavorful Mexican food that is prepared quickly and accurately. I really want my money back.

    Date night with hubby is always great here. Throwback Thursdays with a great mixture of music. A great crowd and good vibes. The food was delicious and especially with JR's touch. The bartender made nice strong drinks with a smile. Tonight was also cigar night. Shout out to Carpe Diem cigar club.

    I've walked by this establishment multiple times and finally decided to give it a try. My friend and I went on a Saturday around 4pm. The bartender was very nice, she recommended a drink which was delicious but we also ordered appetizers which were disappointing. We ordered a quesadilla, one taco, a shrimp skewer and wings. The only item that was flavorful were the wings and it was because of the barbecue sauce. The rest of the food was very bland, little to no flavor. We didn't finish the appetizers and we definitely didn't want to take them home. This is a cute spot with a lot of potential but the menu needs a redo.

    Cameche salad with no additional toppings.  Filling and enough for two.

    Update 5/14. This place could be a gem. But as usual shitty attitudes had to come into play. Rude bartender. Liked the first guy a lot more. He was pleasant and that encouraged me to want to bring other patrons. There was a long wait to order and in between drinks, also it's not my fault that you are under staffed. It's really not, then telling me "I don't know who lied to you", when I asked for the Hibiscus Margarita I previously posted here as HH. Fine if you changed YOUR menu but what's the attitude about? After paying our bill, I went to the store for cash and gave it to the barback that helped us. I only tip people who do their job. The owner. As much as I try to support. He picks or chooses who he welcomes. I have been here consistently for three weeks empty or full and nothing. I'm not looking for friends. It's just freaking awkward. Food: Not sure what happened but it went down hill. 2nd week it wasn't great and 3rd week it was worse. We got some simple veggie nachos to share, that we didn't finish. They were just gross, chips were weird, sparse with toppings, and the cheese sauce was unappealing. Sigh. I was so happy at first!

    This location as called the steel mill and yet contained no steel. Me and my group 8 friends were incredibly disappointed by the lack of such an important alloy. This is false advertising and another example of why this world is so challenging for elements to live in. If I could give a zero I would do better next time.

    Good draft selection, and the hibiscus margarita is extremely refreshing and lightly sweet without being extremely overpowering on any part of the palate.

I got to have some Detroit style pizza from upstairs, which I still think is hilariously bold in NYC, and I tried a few new drinks. I had one new friend in town who was trying them for the first time and was also delighted. It's also helpful when you have a bartender or staff in general that genuinely engages with you and is excited that you are enjoying yourself. I forget his name, but he made sure our party really enjoyed ourselves. Great way to kick off the birthday month, that's for sure!

I'm sure I've walked past it countless times without realizing it was there, until now. You enter through the pizzeria, where you'll be asked to wait for a host to escort you down. Once inside, you're greeted with a cozy, intimate space and a menu full of creative, delicious cocktails with clever names. The bartender and host were both warm, friendly, and quick with a joke, which made the atmosphere even more welcoming. The space is small, but that's clearly part of its charm, it feels intentional and inviting. I'd definitely come back. No photos this time, I was too busy enjoying the experience and soaking up the vibes. You'll just have to check it out for yourself to see how cool it really is.

However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
