Speakeasy meets diner meets upscale bodega? I’m not really sure how to describe this spot but it’s certainly not “the usual”. As a very unassuming dining experience hidden in the basement behind a grocery store.. you kinda don’t know what you’re getting yourself into. That is.. until you try the food! I’ve barely begun to dig in to the menu here but I can tell you the sandwiches and wings are KILLER and the beers on tap are all the pick of the litter. Highly recommend hanging at the bar. Locals are friendly and the staff is attentive. Great spot to go see some sports ball and chat with the neighbors.

My favorite spot in the neighborhood for Monday $1 wings, Tuesday trivia, lunch whenever and weekend bloody Mary’s. Amazing staff abs always a good time!

Liked the ambiance but this place is definitely over priced. Paid $17 for a hot chicken burger which was smaller than my palm and came without any fries or chips. It tastes not bad but I had much better tasting fried chicken sandwich elsewhere for 1/3 of the price. I left very hungry for sure.

Beer bar, check. Interesting groceries, check. Great food, check!The duck bahn mi is great! Babka poppers or bread pudding is over the top, but worth it.Outdoor space in the back is nice and cozy.Great rotating list of beers.It's a popular spot so try and go at off hours.

Went to hang out and read on the patio by myself on a weeknight- wings were cheap and GREAT and full of flavor. Had to order two baskets but I scarfed them down. vibes were excellent, a few rats on the patio in the front but that’s not their fault. Super fun interior too!

Extremely filling meal. Expect to be rolled back to your place because there's no way you'll be walking!

The chicken sandwiches are very very good, and the beers are actually well priced, but all the food is phenomenaly expensive for the amount you get - my friends and I were all shocked how much it was. The server also agreed it was expensive. Probably won't go back - there are things nearby which are also good for fair prices.

The food and service was awesome definitely a good spot to eat and have a few drinks we will definitely be going back there again

Overpriced, small portion, terrible food.We ordered the breakfast burrito, and a build your own Sammie. Both were made with some weird fake eggs. The breakfast burrito was $20 and the Sammie was $15, and they were both miniature. There were also no home fries or anything to complement these meals. Also, the food arrived cold.Overall, I think this might actually be the *worst* restaurant in Brooklyn.

Enjoyed everything. Everything was amazing. Every dish made me say damn, that's really good. The burger, porchetta, the roast beef, the Mac and cheese with porchetta. The only thing that didn't make me say wow, was the porkbelly or caviar on top of the potato. It's funny cause that's what made me say what in God's flat earth is that, and come in. It was eye candy more then mouth candy. A whole white potatoe is bland. Maybe if it was replaced with a Batata sweet potatoe or a whole empanada. That would be really sweet.
