I came to see a band who just happened to be performing along with a puppet show, Puppets Come…read moreHome!, around Halloween. I was not interested in the puppets, I'd say I'm actually more anti-puppet than not but the show was amazing! I found out there's a whole puppeteering subculture in this city, and there were lots of performances I wouldn't have even considered to fall into that genre. The staff were all great, really welcoming and engaging. The manager Patrick as well as the MC of the show were so well versed in both Coney Island, sideshow, and general pop-culture history. And the band put on one hell of a show, they do creepy noir/murder ballads that draw inspiration from Tim Burton and other dark artists. The bar has a museum and gift shop and runs events most weekends (magic shows, fundraisers, burlesque, etc.). Unlike the rides, Freak Bar stays open every weekend into the winter. $6 Coronas. Come out, it's fun!

A great spot during the Mermaid Parade celebrations. They have a downstairs that was an oasis from…read morethe sun and heat - great A/C. And the private rooftop, with access only to ticket holders, was so nice to avoid crowds and get an easy bathroom. Not much to write home about in terms of drinks, but a great DJ rocking all day. And just steps from the parade. A great place to party during and after the parade.

I'm looking forward to coming here for brunch next time around.

So the upgrade from what this place looked like before was huge. It had dirty seats and pillow…read moretables vobbled. Now the seats are nice , clean the place doesn't look as tacky . And then the waitress comes I asked for cranberry juice and quickly changed it to pineapple juice . She came back with cranberry , we asked for water she brought o e not two for the both of us , we asked for small plates for our food which just came and she brought to go containers instead . When we started ordering the food they didn't have fish for tacos they didn't have steak for tacos and no pork I believe as well . She said the mozzarella sticks were really good . Then they come a they are just plain simple out the bag ones with sprinkled dry parley on top. We asked for sprite they were out of sprite as well and this place got the damage audacity to apply an automatic 18 percent gratuity when she would have been lucky to get 5 bucks that service and lack of viability on a menu that had like 8 items on it as is !!' And the tacos as you can see in the picture the zero effort of pre shredded cheese , and smallest tacos shells ever 3 for 18$ not worth at all Won't come back for sure .

Looking for a nice spot with good vibes and good food vice lounge is where it's at. After being…read moreclosed for a short while they have finally reopened and they didn't disappoint. Service here is friendly and welcoming. The ambiance and very modern and chic. The drinks are bomb and the food was fresh and seasoned well. The plain fried wings were nice and crispy and I got my sauces on the side for alil kick. The hookah was also good... blueberry mint is my go to flavor. The dj was definitely spinning some tunes. Very clean restroom, nice decor. Great for after work, groups, date night, or even a girls night. Great happy hour pricing guaranteed to get you lit. I highly recommend.

Maybe during sporting events there is more life, but it doesn't give hangout vibes like other places do (like Tap Beer). With that being said, the service is super friendly and I'd go back if I was in the area.

They have about three dozen options on tap. I decided to go with Allagash White. Lots of German and Eastern European options. The tap system is also organized by style to help out with selection.

Overall rating: 4.5…read more Note this review is from a July 2025 visit. A must visit whenever I'm in Coney Island. I've been here 3-4 times and it never disappoints. A tad too expensive for Coney Island but the drinks are so strong. If you're by yourself the smaller ounce is fine but expect a small cup. If you're with a group just go for the larger size.

Good spot to score a cold tasty frozen margarita…read more All kinds of flavors. Full bar here too. Some tables inside, some out front, and a side area with plenty of picnic tables. There's also a taco bar outside here too and another small frozen drink stand by the street. One of the better spots for frozen drinks if you can stumble upon it as it's hidden in an alley on the side of Luna Park. Oh, and the drinks are strong! Perfecto!

Service is always friendly and helpful with offering suggestions if you're not sure what to pick from their extensive menu of drinks. Love the lounge vibe of this place and nights with live music are a nice touch. The only drawback for me is that it's a cash-only place. It's not a problem or an issue just annoying...I personally rarely have any cash on me and it's just a nuisance.
