Great addition to the neighborhood and worth a trip to Bed-Stuy to check out. Barb’s is a casual, unassuming bar with a comfortable interior, good cocktails, and quality beer selection. I was surprised to see they are serving imperial pint Guinness - the bar tender even poured it properly from the draft! Very welcoming environment and a neighborhood crowd. Good speakers and music vibes. Highly recommend.

This is the greatest bar in all the land. The female bartender who works weds or Fri is the best for martinis and service!

Fantastic atmosphere, really great vibe and seating options. Really great bartender and music.

What a perfect little spot. Super nesty little darkish space with and old re-cycled bar, some cozy lighting and a truly wonderful selection of drinks, beers and well-drinks. Staff is ridiculously friendly. Couldn't think of a more welcome addition to this neighborhood.

Such a sweet new spot! If you're looking for a well made cocktail or an ice cold beer this place will not disappoint. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the folks that work there are really great.

Tiny cocktail bar (with beer too). Staff are friendly. It’s a cozy place for sure. Guy in the photo was dope

Small / intimate space. Great country music. I visited after midnight. Drank and read my book. Mr. Sam is great bartender, very kind. Great drinks. Thank you! Will drop by again!

We love Barb’s!!! This is even my second review (also reviewed it on Yelp), so that shows just how much we love it. Great decor, great owners. We first met Allison and she’s the nicest and the easiest to have a conversation with. Great happy hour. We need this place to be our neighborhood spot!! Long live Barb’s!

The atmosphere, drinks, and service was exemplary!

We went to Barb’s lastnight for a night cap, our bar tender, Frank was amazing. The atmosphere was great, the sour beer was delicious and overall we were super happy there. We will definitely come again next time we visit from Canada. Thanks again, Frank!

Cozy neighborhood bar in Bed-Stuy with great drinks and an easy vibe. Good mix of cocktails, beer, and snacks, plus a great stereo and killer playlists that always set the mood. Staff are welcoming and the crowd’s friendly without being over the top.

One of my favorite places to start a night out! Amazing cocktails, solid wine selection, kind bartenders. In the summer, the frozen painkiller is a must. But I haven’t had a bad cocktail (or experience) here. It does get packed because it’s small but if you manage to grab a seat, you’ll be fine. Plus, disco ball lighting.

Great vibe and drink options. Loud some evening hours on weekends but not too crazy.

Try the drinks on tap! The old fashioned was a pleasant surprise and was as good as any hand mixed version.

Favorite local bar, never have had a bad time here!

A fun and intimate bar, always a good time for delicious Guiness, cocktails, or a PAIN KILLER!!! Excellent music choices and vibes.

Great chill spot. Good drinks. Bartenders are great at making drinks. Love me a grumpy bartender with a kind heart. Take some time and have a chat. Worth it!

Super cute inside, small and intimate. Love that they allow dogs! Drinks were just ok but I guess it’s to be expected from a neighbourhood bar, frozen drinks were very sweet.

Disappointed to write a negative review about this bar - a place I’ve recommended to friends. Long story short a bartender aggressively approached my friends I over a bar policy that she A) did not explain and B) presumed we were violating. Instead of talking to us rationally she addressed the only black women in the bar with an accusatory tone. She’d already been watching us and asserted that we were in her words “taking up space” - this place is like 100 sq ft. We could barely sit because it was packed and were deciding what to do next … a typical experience. I live in the neighborhood, I go out all the time and frankly have never been approached like this! Anyways, please see the other review I attached to this.

I never leave reviews but I’ve never had a negative interaction with a bartender like this before. My friends and I were taking our time to catch up before ordering drinks and we were approached by the female bartender with a crazy attitude from the jump for not ordering drinks sooner. We would’ve completely understood a friendly reminder to purchase something in order to stay around, but we were met with a very aggressive and unwelcome tone even after communicating that we recieved her message. She argued that we were taking up space when the bar was half empty (we weren’t even taking up a table) and it just didn’t feel right to be iced out of the bar when we were some of the very few black people in the space. We found this extremely insensitive, unprofessional and prejudiced on behalf of your staff.
