I came out on a Friday evening to enjoy the start of my weekend at The Steel Mill in Bushwick, and I had a great experience. The bartenders provided excellent hospitality and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was amazing. We ordered the teriyaki wings and chicken nachos, and both were full of flavor. Even with the sauce, the wings stayed crispy and crunchy, which made them even better. The drinks were also really good -- definitely not weak. You could actually taste the liquor, and everything was made well. On top of that, the place was clean and had a great vibe. I'd definitely come back again for food, drinks, and a good time. Love the music too. Thank you Alyssa for making it a good experience and welcoming. read more

Great neighborhood bar to watch the game at. The background music keeps your head bopping. The beer and shot specials and variety of beers offers something for everyone! My favorite is the Beer Hug! The cocktails are flavorful! The customer service by Monique is 5 star. She is personable and professional! The seating is comfortable. You can see televisions from every seat in bar. Restrooms are clean and spacious! I will be back! read more

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! read more

Massively disappointing. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it tasted like microwave Tyson chicken. Think Dino Nuggets, but on a sandwich. My partner is allergic to tomatoes and got a quesadilla, they said they could make it without them. When it came out there were tomatoes all over it. When we had to send it back they just picked off the visible ones (not even all of them) and gave it back claiming they remade it. Lazy and literally endangering my partner's life. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Bushwick being Bushwick? Bartender is okay. Not exactly outgoing. Off putting and your typical "order taker". Experience is pretty underwhelming. We felt rushed to leave. Food was on point, stars go all do the food. Ambience is blah. read more

This is a place to get food, and drinks. Drinks are made strong! It's more of a fusion place than you may expect. Chinese take out chicken wings, fries with cotija cheese, tacos. My friend enjoyed the quesadilla and I enjoyed the fish and shrimp tacos. I really like how they did the fish taco! The drink I ordered was not a drink I liked, but that's on me for ordering a coconut liquor drink ( I just didn't touch it because it tasted like high school). The staff are friendly but few, so you may need to go to the bar to ask for the check. The bathroom was ok, but the wall under the hand dryer was so gross it made me kinda stare in horror. They should probably wipe the shit off the tiles under the dryer at some point because it's filthy. read more

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! read more

Staff is very nice and they have a great happy hour. However, I didn't find the food menu particularly exciting, which I was surprised about given I love Mexican food. I got the chicken tinga over rice and it had very little flavor and was not worth the $15. There's way better food in the area, so I would only recommend this place if you want a nice happy hour deal (I had 4 drinks for $28). read more

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. read more

If you are looking for the local corner bar this is the place to go. The bartender was very nice and owners had a genuine rapport with the neighborhood and there residents. I told Hank that Steel Mill wasn't just a cheap beer from Mcmaynerberry . Back to Arlen read more

Temperature check and form at the door. Everyone is spaced out. There is inside and outside seating arrangements. Staff is friendly. Drinks and good and strong. Food was yummy too. We had the vegetable nachos and they were amazing. Favorite thing was the music. Such a good mix. My friend and I had a blast. Would come back again. read more

Came here after hearing the live music from across the street, realizing it was the soft opening I was very pleasantly surprised. Music loud, latin and fun for a Saturday night vibe. Tapas portions could be slightly bigger for the Mac and cheese balls if you're only getting 3 but that's only nitpicking. Good draft selection, and the hibiscus margarita is extremely refreshing and lightly sweet without being extremely overpowering on any part of the palate. Hope this place sticks around. read more

I just wanted to get a drink with my friend and there was no tables available but the waiter made sure he helped me. He didn't leave us waiting, he told us to hang by until something was available. He gave us menus to look at while waited and 5 mins later there was a table available for us. We ended up getting a seat and we ordered drinks that he recommended. We had such a great time. His name was Hector and he was phenomenal. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a great time at the last minute !! read more

I have to admit, The Steel Mill was actually fabulous. The spot is very chic & clean. Every thing we bought was amazing and the menu itself was to die for. Incredibly welcoming, attentive and professional. I will certainly be back again next time I'm in area. read more

Went here yesterday to try it out and was terribly disappointed. It was a Tuesday however the weather was nice. Service was horribly slow. 1 bartender who is also the waiter and server. Happy hour was I want to say from 4-7 however the cocktails were disgusting even one cocktail ordered that wasn't on the happy hour list was horrid. The bushwick punch or whatever is called has wine as a float, disgusting, the Santa Rosa drink for happy hour taste like licorice, the periwinkle also happy hour was good but tastes like kool aide with sprite. Even down to the margarita it was watered down and there were not any notes of tequila in there. The garnish of the drinks are burnt fruits that don't do the drinks any justice. The Mac and cheese bites disgusting I bit into them and it was watery. The fries were pretty good thick cut with some sprinkle of cheese chunks but not bad. The quesadilla comes out as 1 tortilla folded in 1/2 it was just weird. Also the food took forever to come out 45-50 minute wait. All and all I will not be returning hopefully this spot can hire more staff and change the drinks. 2 stars are generous but it's in a cool area and the fries were just okay read more

They're back! And the food is delicious. Plus, the full bar also complements their craft cocktail menu.

Great drinks, good food, friendly hospitable staff, good music, cool and colorful atmosphere, what more could you ask for? For a break away from the cozy neighborhood spots like Father Knows Best and the Evergreen, this place is perfect. Definitely a more energetic vibe than most of the local places, I can only see this place getting better and better. Alberto is a fantastic bartender and helped make the vibe perfect. I would highly recommend The Steel Mill to locals and anyone passing through looking for a fun and cool bar. read more
