Interesting park slope dive bar. They have live performances this night a ballerina w all types of sheets in different colors and then a band afterwards. Cheep beer and drinks. Typical dive bar. Video games in back. Bring your own food permitted bc they don't serve food. Pizza is next door. Good service and a fun weird sorta spot. Enjoy read more

Where else can you listen to live bands while sampling kolaches from @kingskolache and birria from @eltacosbrothers? The birria gives you life. And I highly recommend having it at the start or the end of the night. A small is $5 and will treat you right. The bartenders are amazing. They have LIVED. Listen to them. That is all read more

I really liked this bar. You were able to bring in your own food and there is lots of options outside. It's a super chill vibe. A lot of people came here alone to enjoy a nice drink. Bartenders are super friendly there very nice seating inside and lots of space, no one is cramped up together. I would highly recommend this bar cocktails are decently priced. They also have live music. I was not there to see it. read more

My friend wanted to take us to some of his favorite neighborhood bars, and Young Ethel's was our first stop. This place is a great little hole in the wall where the locals like to hang. It has a relaxed, casual vibe. The décor is lovely and fun. The bartenders are friendly and greet you with a smile. They have a nice selection of signature cocktails. I ordered a Bee's Knees, and it was very good. There is also a room in the back where you can catch free shows daily by local musical acts and comedians. They even have pinball machines. I'd come back. read more

Nothing wrong with the place if you enjoy music so loud you can't hold conversation. Staff was friendly though.

Cannot beat a night at Good Ethel's. Staff is friendly, beer selection is great, and it's a great warm atmosphere.

Super fun place. Great local bar. Always something going on. Come in, have a drink, play pinball, make a new friend. Watch a comedy show or be in the the show! You can tell I cone here a lot. read more

Young Ethel's has become one of my go to spots in Park Slope. Live music, comedy, and great tasting cocktails. I feel like Ethel's should be more packed than how it is most of the time I'm there. Don't get me wrong, the back isn't huge but I feel it could be more packed, which is a good thing. For how great the cocktails are and for the price which isn't bad for Brooklyn at all, this place has become one of my favorites. Solid happy hour, great service, and right in the heart of 5th Avenue, Young Ethel's is a great option for any occasion. Make sure to check out their calendar on their website to see what's going on. read more

Stopped into Young Ethel's for a quick drink on Saturday afternoon. Got a chance to check out the beer bar and live entertainment spot and would definitely return when in full gear. Quality: I may have visited at a weird time, but there was still a lot to like. The small, but varied draft menu, pinball machines, and awesome background tunes, bode well for the live entertainment selected and busier evenings. Quantity: No issues with pours. Value: $5-9 for a Draft Beer. Ambiance: Young Ethel's is located in Park Slope. They have a small outdoor setup, and then plenty of stools around the long bar. Elvira pinball machines sit towards the back of the front room, and a stage for live music and improv can be found in the far room. Divey and cool style, with great music playing. Crowd: Regulars appear as soon as the bar opens. Service: Great and funny bartenders. Parking: Limited street parking. read more

Young Ethel's - Draft Beer Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a like a hole in a hole-in-the-wall. Divey as hell, as down-to-earth as you can get without literally operating out of someone's basement. Drink menu is folded red printer paper and food is mostly frozen pizzas and a taco truck down the street. It's the kind of bar you want to be a regular, but not really the place you'd take someone from out-of-town. Only 4 stars because it's definitely not some people's vibe, but it's a strong find for everyone else read more

Fun improv shows and other events. Hard to get the attention of the bartender when busy, but there is typically only one. Had the "Brooklyn Barbie" special drink, which was solid. read more

There isn't any food but you're welcome to bring outside food into the establishment and there's a taco truck right outside. I love the love music--they have a good setup for it where you can immerse yourself in just that or listen from afar in the front of house. Do note you'll need to put your orders in at the bar. You'll be taken care of :) read more

Because of the name, I really didn't expect much of this place. I was very pleasantly surprised to find it was a very clean, reasonably priced and decent sized place. Drinks were good; well mixed and the bartender was which to fill your order. Sound system was good also. No parking, but that's Brooklyn for you. Highly recommended. Enjoy your time there! read more

Young Ethel's - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the coolest new bars around. From the chandelier, to the In Utero string light art, to the great craft beer selection, to the awesome back area for music or other shows. I took a soundpainting class in the back with Strike Anywhere (look it up! http://www.soundpainting.com/), and it was a great space for that. They'll be doing them once a month for a while (see https://www.strikeanywhere.info/events.cfm). They also have special monthly drinks and surprisingly cheap shot specials (like Henny for $5). They serve food - they have a pizza oven for making Table 87 pies, and they do kolaches. You can also order from the taco truck outside (Tacos El Brother - https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-el-brother-brooklyn?hrid=odaghsfeEHLQ6a4UX1tskQ). All this plus three pinball machines! Will be back soon! read more

Super tasty (strong) drinks like the jungle bird, frozen rose (the cool kids call it frozé), and frozen margarita. Very friendly staff with big hearts and big smiles (under their masks, of course!) Come visit! read more

Young Ethel's is exactly what a neighborhood "dive" should be: a fun and light atmosphere to drink, with the added bonus of a stage for showcasing local music and comedy. I'd been to this spot in its previous incarnations and had some underwhelming experiences (to say nothing of certain former owners' obnoxious reputations). Ethel's qualifies as a huge improvement over its predecessors on drink quality and service alone. But they also do a great job of welcoming local talent and being a positive cultural presence. I highly recommend the weekly Wednesday comedy show with Dan Wilbur and Zach Sims! read more

Holy cow this bar is an awesome new addition to the Slope. Killer cocktails, events basically every day, and a really really cute space. It's great for a date or hanging with friends. Did I mention they currently have mulled wine and spiked cider? Oh also there's pinball in the back?! Whaaaat? read more

This place is cool! Very fun vibe, creative menu. Frozen drink machines. I went for a fundraiser. They have a nice little performance room in the back. read more

Love this bar so much! The atmosphere is great, and Trey who bartends on Wed and Fridays plays great music and he's so much fun! I happened upon this bar because it's in front of my bus stop to go home from work, and sometimes the bus takes awhile. I'm so glad I went in that first time. I've since told everyone about it. It's relaxed and even has happy hour until 7pm! read more

Really fun vibes. Kind of a funky neighborhood dive bar. Nice beer selection and some pretty delicious cocktails. We were visiting friends who live in the neighborhood and ended up there both nights we were in town. read more

So happy to have this cute new bar in the 'hood! They have a great beer selection and offer and fun "broke brunch" which is a Bloody Mary and bacon,egg and cheese kolache. They just opened so they're still working out some kinks so the Kolaches are hit and miss. Over all love it! read more

Cute bar with spacious back area with pinball machines (should add more seating in the back). Good variety of cocktails which were pretty tasty, averaging about $10-$13. Nice solid place to hang out. read more

Fun, laid back, funky and chic. This eclectic bar is understated in spite of its whimsical chandelier in front, velvety couches in back and a sense of fairy dust sprinkled throughout. The warm, welcoming bar has well-spaced stools (and outlets!), the back room is a comfortable size (large but not swallow-you large) and offers pinball, board games, cushy seating, a stage and a projector screen. Colleen is a standout bartender. She makes you feel cared about and is happy to work with you on the perfect drink for your mood. She, and the space, definitely improved mine! read more

Young Ethel's is such a rad neighborhood spot. Mary, the owner, was super helpful when we recently had a surprise party there. The bartenders were amazing and patient and kind (shout out to Jacob), and the DJ basically killed it. Love this place! read more

All in all this place was pretty solid! I appreciate the spaciousness of the back end of the bar; Where about 5 velvet cozy-pieces of furniture await for you. There was even a movie playing on the large projector. 2 pinball machines. In my opinion it's a place where you can get creative with your date. You can get to know one another near the bar, if things progress well from there go towards the back. Get comfortable on the couch or challenge em at Pinball read more

Great new bar in Park Slope that is surprisingly spacious as the back area just expands to allow for comfy couches, 3 pin ball machines, a stage and a huge projection screen. The bartender is super friendly (a bit loud) and attentive. Decent draft, wine and cocktail selection, with a special reduced-price cocktail of the day. Will be returning. read more

Saturday nights, open streets and Young Ethels have saved summer 2020. Happy anniversary and thanks for the fantastic cocktails and hospitality! read more

This joint recently opened and it's already one of my faves in the neighborhood. They have a menu of craft beers with enough variety to satisfy your pickiest friend and good selection of wines, too. The backroom is perfect for parties and the overall vibe is pretty chill, which fits right into the modus operandi of this section of Brooklyn. read more

Chill spot with an amazing beer selection. Big room in the back with fancy Victorian style chairs for larger groups who don't want to be chained to the bar. Open front windows so you can almost sit outside and do some people watching. Great place for birthday parties I'd say! read more

Visited this bar recently to have a catch up drink with a friend. I loved that I could actually hear her, the music was good and not too loud. The bartender was friendly and the beer selection was nicely varied. I also appreciated they had Table 87 personal sized pizzas! This is a great addition to the neighborhood, I'll definitely be back to cheer them on! read more

Visited this family-owned bar last night! Such a charming venue if I lived closer I'd become a regular but definitely plan on hitting it up whenever I'm in brooklyn! Such a fun and classy vibe. Loved the music they were spinning. I had a red wine and a pizza as far as bar pizzas go it was definitely top tier. I hear they'll be having trivia and karaoke nights coming up and I'm stoked to come back for those! read more

Awesome new spot in South Slope. Incredible staff, great drinks, and the back room has super cute furniture.
