Dick and Jane's Bar Room

Overall rating: 4.7 Really cute date spot that’s great for solo too. I went here on a bad date, altho I would have preferred to go by myself! The food was goodish, I personally like the atmosphere and service more. The croquettes were good. The pasta was good, but I’ve had better. I would like to try other items next time. I loveeeee the dessert!! It was soo good. I think it was some rice pudding or something. Whatever had the blueberry. I’d definitely want to try again for just drinks. And see how the night is on a Friday night.

Lovely- you must go! Our personal favorites from dinner - Tijana Twist-fresh, spicy, smoky; beet salad with whipped goat cheese- WOW!; steak skewer - flavor bomb; everything we had was quite good though. The whole experience was 10/10. Creative drinks, delicious food, great service + atmosphere was incredible— we will absolutely be back. The new interior is cozy but chic. Welcome to the Neighborhood ! Soon to be hottest spot in bed stuy + all of BK

Dick and Jane’s is always a good move. They have a DJ almost every night, great food, and a really fun crowd too. And they have my absolute favorite bartenders. It’s the kind of bar when you walk in, it feels like an extension of home. Treat them right and they’ll treat you even better.

Let me start off by saying, Fern is the best bartender I’ve ever had. His energy, and ability to interact with customers is next level. The atmosphere is amazing; very peaceful, but very active, and energetic, with a nice hue and great music choice. I went with a friend for HH to catch up, it was my first time but certainly won’t be the last time I’m there. They also have a poppin time during the weekend

The best vibe and best Dj’s in NYC hands down! Definitely where the coolest and most sophisticated crowd goes to meet and network. Very attractive crowd.

The jerk chicken pop up was great!!! My hubby thoroughly enjoyed his 3 course meal! I ordered from the bar’s menu as I was avoiding carbs.

Always such a fun time at BarRoom. The bartender Andy is such a warm and kind soul! The drinks are fantastic and the food is always so delicious and hot. Perfect spot for catching up with friends, making new ones or a date night !

Beautiful interior. The revamped location is everything and then some. Bar has a great vibe, low sounding music to aid in conversation. Didn’t have food (kitchen still working on items) but there definitely some choices I would return for. I had one of the mezcal drinks that wasn’t as spicy/smoky and was just right. 10/10

Finally getting around to writing a review for one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn. The decor blends old school neighborhood bar charm with subtle modern touches, but it still feels warm and homey. During the day it’s bright inside, and at night it turns into a moody, intimate setting filled with conversation and / or people singing. The space is small and fills up quickly, so I recommend getting there early if you want a seat because there isn’t a ton of seating inside. Now onto the food. The menu is classic bar food like wings, burgers, and fries. For wings, I’ve had both the Sticky Mezcal and the Shaquanda wings. The Sticky Mezcal wasn’t my favorite, but I loved the Shaquanda wings. If they were fried a bit harder, they would be perfect. I’ve also had the burger, which was good, but for the price point I do wish it came with something on the side. Drinks wise, I’m a creature of habit and always order the Ginbella. This is genuinely the only place that got me into drinking gin. I will say, though, the portion to price ratio feels a little off lately. It seems like the drink has been served in a smaller glass recently, and at a $15 price point, I do wish it was a bit more. Also to my expresso martini lovers, the ones here are also very good. They have different DJs in rotation, so the music can be a hit or miss depending on the night. In the many times I’ve been here, I’ve heard hip hop, R&B, and some old school reggae. As for the crowd, this is definitely more of a 27+ vibe. Between the music and the overall vibe , it feels catered to that age range and up. All in all, you’ll catch me here year round. It’s a great spot for girls night, guys night, a pregame, watching a game, or even as an after stop for a date night.

Cute place to catch up with friends or go for a date. It’s dark and cozy in there. Got my Usual Negroni, it was done well. Sometimes this place gets a bit loud and overwhelming. I’ve been a few times now but haven’t tried the food so that’s definitely on my to do list !

This is a cool spot and often has a great crowd. You can catch the football games on the projector. Please be warned, they force a 20% gratuity on your bill even just sitting at the bar. Maybe they do this because people don't enjoy tipping for extremely slow service which you will probably encounter. (The bartender with the glasses is pretty good though) On top of that, they nickel and dime you with a 2.5% credit card surcharge. I have never seen that at a bar before.

The experience at Dick and Jane’s is authentic, warm, and fun. We had awesome waiters that continued to show up for us even as our party kept expanding. The DJ had a diverse range of music suitable to our guests and the food selection was decent with a few options . Drinks were served quickly and taste well too.

Ive visited Dick and Jane's a few times. Each time the music, drinks and atmosphere were good. I havent had the luck of eatting there yet so I cant rate that. Every Tuesday they host an R&B night which i think is dope (with an actual DJ, not a playlist). Drinks are basically $20 each. It gets crowded on the weekends. The weekdays are less crowded. I enjoy coming here because its local and black owned. Definitely will continue to visit.

Edit: I forgot about the great music from the DJ. Many dope blends that kept me in a good space as I ate. That definitely added to my experience. To the owner: This was Friday 7/18 around 8:30pm. I believe there were two on staff servers, one catering to indoor guests and the other to outdoor. I stood in the middle of the floor for almost 10 minutes and nearly walked out before I noticed the small empty table by the door. I'm a very gracious person, so if I could find a real excuse for either server to walk past me multiple times I'd definitely make it for them. Even the bartender just looked at me when I approached the bar. If I experience that again, I'll be more vocal but that night I did not want to chase anyone down just to be served. REVIEW: I walked in during the evening just after happy hour looking to try their menu for the first time. It was busy and I wasn't greeted when I entered so I stood by the bar for a bit before grabbing a menu and just finding a seat. It took a while before I was addressed. I ordered a Rose Gold cocktail which was enjoyable. For eats, I ordered the Shaquanda's wings, fries and Garlic Broccolini. The wings were pretty standard, cooked decently with an interesting take on a buffalo sauce. They had a little kick. The fries were typical fries done right and went well with ketchup. Lastly, the Broccolini was tender and buttery. Easily the best item of the 3 and had a familiar taste almost like broccoli in garlic sauce from a Chinese takeout spot. I likely wouldn't try the wings again if I'm going there just for food. I'd come back for that Broccolini and to try their other cocktails. If it's busy again when I come, I would hope not to wait as long to be seated or addressed regardless of how busy it may be. Otherwise, it's worth another visit. #itsfoodovereverything

I’ve visited this place several times and it’s a guaranteed good time. The vibe, the music, the people, the feeling of community is abundant. However, what isn’t abundant is adequate service. A couple of times that I’ve been, it’s was very hard to get service at the bar. The place was packed and only had one bartender on staff. I waited 25 min to order a drink to no avail. I ended up leaving because I couldn’t get serviced and the bar was getting increasingly packed. Staff for the turn out of people that you bring in. Not being able to get a drink at a bar is kinda crazy.

Dick and Jane is my go to spot. I come here almost every weekend. As of recently I’ve noticed a staff change. I order the same thing every time I go which is a French 75 to my knowledge Is around $10 I invited my friends with me one night and told them to try the drink and it is my treat. I handed the bartender my card and I told him I wanted a copy of my receipt so I know what I paid for. He charged me for 3 gin drinks and 1 French 75 which brought my total to $71 my total should have been around $30. I told him he charged me wrong and how I wanted to speak to manger. He told me he wasn’t there and refused to give me my money back. My go to spot is Now ruined and if this is now the service and atmosphere I rather spend my money else where

I got overcharged for drinks last night (which were delicious btw). I realized as soon as I tapped my card that the server was being shady. I asked if I could tip in cash to which she responded that she had already automatically added the tip to the bill (to our party of 3???), but then the machine took me through the steps which included asking me if I wanted to tip - at which point, I asked her, why is it asking me to tip if you already included the tip? I was concerned also bc the price was $30 more than it was supposed to be, but I was too buzzed and it was too busy for me to really get a chance to think about it or question further. I've been coming to D&J Bar Room since it opened and never had this issue. The number listed on the Google Overview takes you straight to VM so I've emailed them. Will be taking this issue to my bank if I don't hear back and update the review.

Food was ok when it finally came. How do you put a food ticket in and then say 20 min later we ran out. How do you order fries and they come out 20 min later cold. Bartender was only good thing at this restaurant. Trust and believe will never be back. Only one chance to make a first impression. Now for yelp.

I’ve tried to give this place multiple chances because my husband likes the music and it’s failed everytime. While the music is always great. Coming from someone experienced in the service industry, the bar set up is unappealing, get someone that knows how to set up your bar. The drinks are always terrible, making a good gin & soda should never be hard, proper pours are important and the service has always been horrendous. The bartenders are disgustingly rude no matter which one or how polite you try to be. They all need customer service training. Your location is too good for your bar to be this bad.

The security guard is incredibly unprofessional. I like this spot because it’s walking distance from my home, but dealing with the guy at the door ruins it. Last night (6/21) I stepped outside (amidst dinner with friends) to smoke and he asked if I was heading home. I said no - just going to smoke, and I’ll be right back. Not even five minutes later I came back to the door and he yells “We are at capacity and those two people are before you” and closes the door in my face. I opened it and said “my things are inside - I only stepped out to smoke” and he responded “oh my bad”. As I went in he FOLLOWED me in to say “NO NEED TO HAVE AN ATTITUDE”. I’m a 5’5 woman - why he decided to pursue this (when he was in the wrong) was bizarre and made me uncomfortable enough to leave shortly thereafter. This isn’t the first time he’s been unprofessional. The vibe there isn’t worth dealing with his power trip.

My pregnant wife was just illegally denied entry for our friend’s birthday party. Bouncer said he was not allowed to let in pregnant women after 10pm. Never witnessed anything like this in my life. UPDATE: owner called to apologize. The above review is still legit but I want to acknowledge that (and say that I have been here previously and enjoyed it. Food is great.)

On 1/23/26 my black queer friends were told that there were too many men in their group by security and was ultimately given a hard time before being let in. The slap in the face was walking inside and seeing that the place wasn't even packed! There was a mixed crowd of both men and women but wasn't heavily packed with men. The reason this policy feels more targeted and homophobic is because this wasn't the first instance. This also happened 10/10/25, and my friends were only let in after telling security that I (a woman) would be joining the group shortly. Again to walk in and see a very mix crowd. My gut tells me that if my friends weren't visibly queer they would not have encountered these issues. In fact, 2 more friends (men) joined later and wasn't told anything about there being too much men in their group. I'm disheartened by this, especially as a place that treasures itself as being a space for black people. I guess it's only a space if you're black but not visibly queer. My friends and I spent many summer nights here and spent so much of our black dollars to pour into this business. We got to know the staff and told other friends & colleagues to come to a bar that we thought at the time felt like a safe space. Unfortunately, that no longer is the case - I refuse to spend my money in a space that doesn't make ALL black people feel welcomed. I would also like to add that one of my friends that was in this group sent an email 1/25/26 to express his concerns. To date, there has been no response.

I’ve lived in the community for about 4 years , I’ve watched dick and Jane’s go from a community space to an enlisting space. I’ve had the best unfortunate experience of being of going to dick and Jane’s on a Saturday night. The “bouncer” at the front door was extremely aggressive. I check instagram pages etc to set expectations for the night. The bouncer denied access for a night that was night notified before. In the recent months that I’ve been to dick and Jane’s this attitude has been apparent. For a space that included all identities I do not feel safe in the space. I’ve been contributing to the space for years and no longer will. I hope that they can get back to the community

Walked in a couple weeks ago to grab a bite. Their food has always been decent. Wasn’t crazy busy. Tables in the corner were reserved (so not being actively served). We stood at the bar trying to catch the attention of one of the bartenders who absolutely clocked us waiting and chose to ignore us entirely. Full minutes ticked by. Nada. Finally got so uncomfortable that we just walked out.

Walked in around 6:25 and was looked at with confusion as to why my cousin and I,who are black, were in the space by the two bartenders. We immediately felt unwelcome even when they said hello. The vibe was off so we exited expeditiously. We stopped by hoping to grab another drink after just completing a pleasant meal at Therapy Wine Bar because we were waiting for you to open. Due to this experience you have now lost my business.
