Was there for Monday trivia night, so much fun! Great spot, chill vibes, great addition to the neighborhood and looking forward to returning.
Rad as hell bar with affordable drinks, awesome staff, a beautiful backyard and all around good times!
If you’re looking for sunset vibes in greenpoint near the park this is the spot! Cracked some SUNBOYs with the crew and could have stayed all night!
Perfect little spot with a cute courtyard right off of Transmitter park. Good playlist and solid drinks. We had some sunboy spiked coconut waters and enjoyed the evening light out the front window.

The bartender guy was so nice and friendly
Damn good broasted chicken and jojo's!
Cool spot near the water!
What an awesome bar. Vibes are chill, bartenders are friendly (and generous), and trivia and karaoke and happy hour deals are great. Truly a gem and an amazing addition to Greenpoint. I make the trek from queens and it’s worth it everytime. Would recommend!!!
Amazing experience. They have created a unique and welcome atmosphere that has been missing for people wanting a relaxed fun place to bring friends. Too many places take themselves too seriously, and they want to be “exclusive” instead of inviting and welcoming. Absolutely would I recommend Banks Tavern, and I will be bringing everyone that visits the city here first!
Joey is a rockstar bartender such good vibes and dog friendly !!
Great bar with friendly staff! Highly recommended.
Cool little spot front and back patio. Dude game me some water 5/5 😂.
