Stayed with a friend that lived near BPH for 10 days. I started EVERY morning with a delicious, fresh pastry and perfect cup of coffee there! Chill, relaxed vibe was perfect for greeting the day!
Great spot for coffee or drinks. Friendly staff and indoor or outdoor seating. Cool vibes always.
The service and usual patrons here are fantastic. All around a great environment. I made my closest friends since moving to the city here -This review is negative due to the owner taking no steps to make this spot safer for the customers and staff. After multiple violent displays, several threats to the staff, and even an arrest, the owner refused to entertain the idea of getting a doorman. Since these concerns were raised and asserted, the owner has been looking for new staff. It’s a shame - and it doesn’t need to be this way
A cool place but recently there have been threats, unruly customers, and unchecked violent behavior that left both the staff and the patrons vulnerable. It has been expressed many times to management that door security should be present to prevent these situations from occurring but management refuses to acknowledge this and has instead let go of the staff that continued to advocate for their own safety. Do better.
I came here with my friend Liv on my birthday. Long story short, I’ve been playing pool recreationally for six years now. Needless to say, I’ve played hundreds of games across the country and have slowly developed my billiards capabilities naturally over time. When I found out that Bushwick Public House had a pool table I was incredibly thrilled. Long story short, they have a smaller table and a wide variety of pool cues to choose from. My friend Liv was visiting from Philly and, long story short, we were in for the game of a lifetime. I ordered a small black coffee and she ordered an oat milk latte. We sipped our drinks slowly as we played. Long story short, I started out in the lead, knocking in two solids to open up the game. Unfortunately, my turn ended when I accidentally pocketed one of her balls. She then proceeded to deliver a series of devastating blows and shot 5 of the stripes in, leaving only one of her balls left. The custodian mopping nearby was highly impressed by her precision and laser-like accuracy and a crowd began to form around the table to cheer her on. My next moves were critical and I played as defensively as possible, ensuring that she was unable to knock her last ball in. Over the next few turns, I was able to equalize and we were neck and neck with only the 8 ball left. However, long story short, Liv was on fire that day and I knew that if I gave her any opportunity to win the game she would. The 8 ball was in the middle of the table and I called for a bounce shot to ensure that I wouldn’t scratch and lose the game. I missed. Liv was up now and the crowd began to chant her name. She walked up to the table, looked me dead in the eyes, and said “Joe, it’s time to go home.” She leaned down on the table with calm, unwavering focus as if nothing was going on around her. Just her and the pool table. Seconds felt like light years. Then… it happened: what we now call “The Pool Shot That Could Be Heard Around The World.” I’ve never seen a cue ball roll smoother on green felt before; the ball looked like a spry arctic wolf prowling on professionally mowed, stadium regulation grass. I felt the force of the balls colliding as I stood just feet away — the momentum of one ball hitting the next, the beauty of kinetic energy — forms of mass reaching for each other like magnets as the nature of gravity brings them together for a single moment only to then push them farther apart. My brain exploded and I soiled my pants. I felt a tear falling down my cheek as I came to the realization that I was milliseconds away from losing the game. The 8 ball vanished into the pocket never to come back again. I was defeated.Long story short, we had a great time at Bushwick Public House. The coffee was great, the service was quick and friendly, and, long story short, both Liv and I left with unforgettable memories that we will cherish for many lifetimes to come.
A great spot to get some work done while enjoying a cup of coffee or even a cocktail. The employees are wonderful and often have good recommendations for beverages. Love that this is also right my the M stop, I often print here before running off to class.
Mixed feelings. The coffee was fine and the decor/music was nice. But the atmosphere made by serving coffee and alcohol at the same place and time makes it a rambunctious café/bar where some people were trying to work/study and others were loudly playing pool and having a grand old time.
This was a fun little spot. The bartenders were cool and helpful. I saw a small show in their basement that was very cool. Had a blast at this small venue off the beaten path.I have no idea if they serve food. I didn't see anyone eating. I just drank, and I only saw people drinking.
cool spot. cafe by day, bar by night. solid seating, space, games.. pool table ☑︎
I just ate the best blueberry danish I’ve ever had in my life. And I’ve had many danishes. The coffee is impressive also.
