I've been coming her for years , an old-school vibe with lots of space.I believe they have one of the longest bars in bklyn.Great place for large groups with outdoor space.They should be on the best chicken wing list .Reasonable prices for food and a great happy hour.
On Saturday 12/2023 we held a family dinner for my aunt 80th birthday the food was amazing and the bartender did an awesome job on the drinks..the atmosphere was great.I would like to thank Marilyn and her staff for an outstanding job everything was wonderful!!!!..Hope to visit again on my next trip the NYC...
Old school hidden 💎...:Update Dec 26 The all 5⭐ Only apply for the Mon and Tues that the kindest expert Mixologist bartender is there...London.Food is excellent I've had the Essence wings, shrimp cocktail, and a few others...all very well prepared and presented.As far as drinks it's the small things like a lime in your corona or a cherry and orange slice with your whiskey sour that adds to the aesthetic..maybe even a welcoming "how are you, what can I get you".Not pet peeving, but let your top bartender who can make a drank, who is personable and charismatic be the one to teach these very unprofessional nasty attitude bartenders who were serving today(Dec 26):an I ain't talking bout Felicia,😑, in a uniformed way. I usually get down wit my grub drinks n fellow patrons, always a great vibe.One negative don't make me forget the other 5 positive.Visit...eat...enjoy...great place overall.
