Reception Bar Albee Square Reviews
Such a lovely place this is the first place I ever had a spicy espresso martini, and it was absolutely amazing. Special things to mail and her beautiful winter. Margarita please come in and check it out. Let me know if you’d like that as as much as I did thank you so much for having me.
I highly recommend it. Stellar staff who are very friendly and inviting. Great vibe and energy! They have live jazz music which feels special to have in the neighborhood. Wonderful way to pick up the evening. We went one night from 6-9pm on a Monday evening. They have a schedule of dates for live jazz which is fabulous! Cocktails and DJ mixing tunes on some evenings as well. Good conversations and great time. Check it out!
This is a great spacious venue. With great drinks and a great bar and food. I enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the live band show that takes place on throughout the week. Be sure to inquire inside with the staff.
Very nice cozy place, drink are delicious and great happy hours! I like the fact they let clients bring food in. 💖
Love the music selection. Monday Funday. So happy they added one more day to the schedule. Always a calm, serene, safe environment. And can’t beat those happy hour prices and selection 😍.
Had such an amazing time at Somethin' Else, One of my friends told me about Salsa night at this location it was so much fun the food drinks and staff are also fantastic. Will definitely come back and recommend this place to others.

I work close by and this bar has instantly became my favorite spot to grab a pre work drink! joseph, mel and kd are the best very knowledgeable and inviting theyll treat you well highly recommend stoping in plus they do events here so definitely check it out!
Very nice, cozy place inside the mall. Always a vibe. Especially with "Dancing For Democracy" event hosted by Rebecca Lynn and DJ Misbehavior! I always attend and enjoy myself around good vibrations. The owner is very nice.
KD is an awesome bartender, very courteous and knowledgeable about all cocktails! What a great atmosphere!
Don’t tell anyone about this place. $6 draft pints 2p-7p daily. Bring in any food – dozens of restaurants within 2 min radius.
KD is the BOMB DIGGITY! Come visit him and he will take good care of your beverage needs!
Saw an advertisement for free salsa lessons and social and decided to check it out. Best decision I made. Got there and everyone was dancing and having a great time. The DJ played a great mix of classic and modern salsa with some bachata. Danced the entire evening. It will be my go to place every Saturday night. Owner was friendly and really cared about his patrons.
Highly recommend! I’ve been here a couple times now for different things going on. My favorite is the jazz nights. Great live music and atmosphere paired with lovely service. I will definitely be coming back.
This place is genuinely such a hidden gem. I had the best night with my friends dancing and sipping while listening to sick jazz bands that I have never heard of - but were freaking fantastic. Thanks for a great night something’ else. Drinks on point and service was kind.
Great bartenders, great drinks, great music. Come on Fridays for the chill turnup vibe and to unwind on the couches with a paloma or 2. Shaina makes the best drinks! And they let you bring in food from the food hall!!
Fantastic ! Fun! Great service ! The music is amazing! Can’t wait to go back highly recommend!!!

I really wanted to like this place but it just was not worth the time or money. It actually ruined the vibe of our Saturday afternoon and we ended up going home. First off, for a cocktail bar to only have FOUR cocktails on their menu? And to not even taste good? What’s that about? And then (I get it, it happens) their beer taps were all down, and twice another customer came up asking for a canned beer and they didn’t have either. Soooo gut rot and almost $40 later for two drinks and we were done for the day.

I want to love this place as we need more cocktail bars in downtown Brooklyn, but they made it into a club basically. Bartenders blast the music to where you can barely hear. Also walked in the other day and it was hot as hell. AC was broken. Owners def didn’t understand what was needed in the area. A nice cocktail bar with chill vibes would of been ideal. But it’s been 2 years and they are still a raging nightclub.
