Overall rating: 4.8 I’ve only been here once, but I loved it. I didn’t have any food, so I can’t rate it a full 5 but I’m sure it’s great. It’s one of the very few places that you can go with a large party or just chill in the corner (which I love). I can’t remember what I got, but I remember they tasted beautifully flowery. 🌸 Also! These prices are up my alley. Will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend.

Soooo good. The NYC cocktail scene has been bland, but Elsa passes the test. Had the 'My Old So and So' which was a sweet peppery-citrus kiss on the lips (Scarlet Ibis Rum, Black Pepper Syrup, Grapefruit & Black Walnut Bitters), 'Back to the Radio' which was a unique mash up of a Sazerac and Manhattan (Knob Creek Bourbon, Sfumato, Campari, Absinthe, Jamaican Bitters) and Mimis Broach. Super attentative servers, laid back yet lush vibes. Gem.

This spot’s a hidden gem. Hands down, one of the best cocktail bars Brooklyn. Great for a casual drink or date, and not at all pretentious. If not for the neon-lit “Elsa” sign and window showing the interior, I’d assume this were a speakeasy. Hip and chill ambiance, and cute outdoor seating in the back. Snacks like nuts, olives, and a charcuterie board are available to order, but don’t come here on an empty stomach if you’re looking for something of more substance. I’m not much of a drinker but I love the Frozen Painkiller and Elsa’s Dark and Stormy.

Elsa is a fabulous place to grab a drink close by to downtown Brooklyn area. They have a long list of cocktails, which requires several trips to try them all. They have all liquor ranging from absinthe to the regular whiskeys. The place offers a clean and pristine ambience worth the experience. Also they have a selective low cost side plate order such as nuts and olives. Highly recommended to visit for their rare menu of cocktails.

Very nice atmosphere with impressive decor. A nice spot for a romantic outing. Drinks and food are impressive, as well.

Good selection of interesting and tasty cocktails. Delicious cheeses too but wish it had more cheeses. Great atmosphere, will be back!

I had a nice time at this bar - it's a great place to chill and enjoy some good drinks. The ambiance is cool and relaxed, perfect for unwinding with friends. The only downside is that it can get a bit loud. It’s an enjoyable atmosphere and refreshing beverages.

The drink I got was super tasty: the Strawberry-Rhubarb Shrub. It was packed with flavor and so refreshing! The vibe here is very young, creative. The drinks are normal NYC pricing so try to stick to 2 if your on a budget. The vibe was really cool here. The light ulna in each lamp are all custom shaped — looks like the glass was blown to be a bit tipsy turvy. There’s a lot of fine details in the decor that make coming here a great spot to catch up, go on a date, or just observe your surroundings.

Ok drinks, service is practically nonexistent. Staffs just chatting up with each other. The server didn’t pour us any water, not even once. Not sure why they’re there besides taking order and brining drinks.

We came here on a Sunday night and were really disappointed. The service was just whatever — not attentive, not welcoming. The margarita and the gin gimlet were honestly awful. When the bartender asked how the drinks were, I told her they weren’t good. She said she’d try to remake something decent… and then completely ignored us after that. You can tell this is one of those places that gets good reviews early on and then stops caring. Feels more like they’re just coasting, serving shitty beers and cheap, poorly made drinks without much concern for the experience. Definitely won’t be back

Cool atmosphere but need to fix the cocktails! Old fashioned and espresso martini were honestly undrinkable
