Brooklyn Social Albee Square Reviews
Very cool space with amazing cocktails and a cool, friendly staff.
Friendly bartender, strong drinks, indoors for a bit of rowdy talk, and outdoors for a more mellow chat. What more could you ask for.
Another great night at Brooklyn Social. Richard’s cocktails are perfection. Even R4-88 enjoyed them
Nice bar, we're sitting in front, in the sun, staring at people, having a great ipa. What's not to like.
Cute little bar. Excellent staff, nice music, good selection of drinks & cocktails.
Staple in the neighborhood. Always meet up here for drinks with friends. Staff is friendly, patio is nice in the spring/summer.
Open later than anything else in CG it seems.. this is my go to place as a last stop before calling it a night. Cozy and quaint with very good service, and a good cocktail and beer selection. The back garden is simple but enjoyable if it gets too loud inside. Hope the pool table comes back soon, its been removed post Covid.
Cool place, great bartenders, delicious drinks! Inconspicuous from the outside the space is super cool. Solid bar scene and a good crowd
Favorite low-key with an edge bar in Brooklyn! Amazing cocktails, with a dive bar feel — great tunes and atmosphere. Cute backyard area for summer hangs. (*Best old fashioned around!)
Loved the ambiance in this place. Really great for a date, the music is at a perfect temperature for basic conversations and the lighting adds to the mood. The drinks are worth it. So good! There are some corner booth seating options that are just really chill. Didn’t have any food but the menu looked delish. Hoping to be back soon.
Great neighborhood bar to grab some drinks. Staff is friendly. It does get busy some nights but you can usually find a seat.
Best bar in Carrol Gardens, not much else to say.
The best whiskey sour in the 'hood- made with expert care. It is consistently good. And the other cocktails are also delicious- I have sampled them all. It's occasionally a bit loud, which is actually a testament to its popularity. The bartenders are all wonderful- warm, friendly, fast to serve a drink, and generous. This place deserves its local praise.
Loved this old fashioned bar. It used to be a Social Club. The prices are good. I loved the decor. They have a Pool Table and a very cute backyard. The Cocktails are amazing. I will definitely be back.
Super good, cocktails, and super warm, energy and full of people I truly loved it
Probably one of our new favorite bars! The drinks are delicious, the bartenders are great, and the vibe is on point. Came here when we were walking through the area and wish we found is sooner. Their dirty martinis are perfect! Looking forward to coming back again.
Really solid local bar with a decent supply of women.
Never had the food but the drinks are always great and it’s super cozy inside. Definitely a mellow crowd but it’s a great spot to grab a good cocktail and catch up with friends. It can take a little bit to get a drink sometimes but you can expect an attentive bartender and painstakingly crafted drink.
Bar in Brooklyn it looks like nothing from outside but it has nice backyard and pool table. It’s good spot to hang out with friends for happy hour. On menu only panini that’s not that bad.
It pains me to report one of my longtime favorite bars has fallen and is now one of my least. Cocktails used to be sophisticated, precise, clean and nuanced. Now they are sloppy, syrupy, sweet as candy. My cocktail glass was even sticky due to sugar, which is weird on an elegant stemmed glass. Bartender also requested payment immediately after serving our drinks, before we even had a sip. Still a nice cozy interior setting, but it tastes like a fast-food candy store.
