Black Rabbit Brooklyn Reviews
Hosted an afterparty celebrating a book launch with a group of friends at Black Rabbit and it was perfect. Great drinks, fantastic party platters (get the pimento cheese sandwiches!) and a cozy atmosphere.
Upon entering the establishment, I found myself immediately enveloped in a most agreeable atmosphere. The room was lit in a soft, amber glow, neither too dim nor excessively bright, but rather possessing that perfect balance which invites both ease and conversation. Dark woods and polished brass adorned the interior, lending the place a certain dignity befitting a gentleman, yet never so pretentious as to discourage the common traveler. I took my place at the bar, whereupon I was greeted by a most courteous barkeep. He inquired after my preferences with genuine interest, asking whether my constitution desired refreshment or fortification. Such attentiveness is rare, even in the finer establishments of our day, and I found myself quite taken by his manner. As he prepared my drink, I observed the delicate precision with which he worked—measuring spirits with care, slicing citrus with a practiced hand, and presenting the final concoction in glassware of quality craftsmanship. When he set the drink before me, he took the time to explain its composition, as though guiding me on a small voyage of discovery. It was a most refined touch. Around me, patrons conversed in tones both lively and congenial. Gentlemen in neat attire and ladies dressed with elegant restraint filled the room with a hum of pleasant discourse. It was neither rowdy nor dull, but rather possessed of that rare equilibrium which makes one feel part of some modestly grand occasion. While the establishment bears the hallmarks of quality—and no doubt commands prices reflecting such—it does not wear its refinement heavily. Instead, it welcomes the visitor and encourages him to linger. Indeed, I found myself in no hurry to depart. Yet I would advise future callers to arrive early or secure a favorable seat, for the stools at the counter, though handsome, may offer limited comfort for those intending to tarry long. In sum, my visit was most satisfying. I should readily recommend this house to any traveler seeking a well-crafted libation, courteous company, and an atmosphere conducive to both conversation and quiet reflection. Should I assign it a measure of distinction, I would bestow upon it a most respectable mark—near excellent, wanting only a few minor considerations to reach perfection.
I love this bar but their trivia takes forever. It’s been an hour and we are still in round #1. The hosts, though cute, do too much banter and the scoring system also draws out the process too long. Bless your hearts but I have a bedtime 😭 TLDR trivia takes too long
Best local watering hole in Greenpoint. Excellent old world vibes with great service and cheap drinks. This is an excellent getaway from the noisy surrounding restaurants with friends for some drinks and congratulation. Best part is their private pews for that private enclosure feeling. An absolutely fantastic experience.
i previously had a somewhat disappointing experience here, but I stopped back in last week for a pint, and I must say, I take back anything bad I ever said about this establishment. The most comfy, cozy, quiet place to read a book by the fireplace on a cold afternoon. The hot toddies are the best in the city, imho. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is lovely and the bartender even remembered me from months ago!
Very cozy spot to visit, one of my favorite places to go in the winter. It's an especially nice place to go on a date. There's even a fireplace in the back, as well as semi-private booths with swinging doors that close! The backyard is also really nice in the summer!
Great, GREAT, great neighborhood watering hole. Spacious, friendly, tasty adult beverages. Their frozen drinks on a hot memorial day weekend hit the spot something special. Bartender was mad cool. Place was mad chill. Trivia night every Tuesday at 8 too??? I'll be there... Come through
Had a small party here and it was awesome!!! We had full access to the backyard. Drinks were great, and the pickle-back shots were amazing. The staff were very kind and helpful, and all our friends had a great time. If I had a small complaint, it's that they don't offer many food options, and the menu online doesn't always reflect what's actually available. However, that is easily overlooked!
Now that I've been here twice, I can confidently say that this is a neighborhood standout. Good cocktails. Great ales on tap. Small bar menu. Excellent bartenders and music playlists. A great date spot as it is cozy and has no televisions. I live in Manhattan, but when I have a concert or film in Greenpoint, I start my evening here
Great place to drink. They don't have a large selection of beer on tap, but overall they have many options. I had never heard of a gingerback shot before, but I tried one on the advice of the bartender. It was fabulous! However it is not for people who don't like ginger. They have plenty of seating at the bar and many booths for larger groups. Each of the booths have swinging doors that can be closed for privacy. There are also picnic tables and benches outside in the back, but it was way too hot to enjoy them the day I was there.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon with a large group. The bartenders were rude and very stand offish. Despite having food on the menu, the kitchen was not open until 7:30pm (and they were rude about this too). Anytime we ordered it seemed like a hassle and like they were annoyed, even though we were spending hundreds of dollars at this establishment. Wouldn’t recommend for large groups or anyone looking for a fun upbeat vibe.
AVOID this place if you’re young and looking for a fruity drink lol. My boyfriend and I had a really uncomfortable encounter here because of the bartender’s attitude. When we first walked in, everything seemed fine, but as soon as I ordered my drink — a Malibu Bay Breeze or a Mojito — she said, with a condescending tone, “Can I see your ID? No shade, but those are drinks young people order.” I laughed it off and handed her my ID right away, saying calmly, “I just like those drinks, I’m 28.” That wasn’t said with any attitude — just a lighthearted response to her unnecessary comment. She replied, “I’m 48 and still get carded, take it as a compliment.” Completely uncalled for. I understand checking IDs is part of her job, but there’s a professional way to do it without being rude or judgmental. My boyfriend didn’t have his ID with him, and given how she made a big deal about mine, we assumed she wouldn’t serve him — and honestly, what bartender SHOULD? She never once clarified to me that she would still serve him without it, so I genuinely thought he couldn’t order anything. When she also mentioned she couldn’t make either of the drinks I asked for, I told him I’d rather we go somewhere else so we could both have a drink together. I turned to her, thanked her politely, and said we were just going to head out. That’s when she got even more rude and said, “That’s also what young people do.” I think she assumed we were leaving because I was ID’d- completely misread the situation. I explained we were leaving because I thought she wouldn’t serve him, and she raised her voice saying, “I said I would serve him without his ID!” (Turning heads at the bar; even one of the patrons gave us an awkward smile on the walk out). Don’t know if it was my drink choice, age, or what could it have been to make her act like that toward us. We were just trying to have a drink in what seemed like a good environment. The whole exchange was uncomfortable and unnecessary. From the moment I ordered, it felt like she wanted a problem. After reading other reviews, I can see this isn’t an isolated incident.
Don't come here! The bartender was going to serve my spirits in a dirty glass and the beer tasted like dish soap. I left without finishing it. WAY better bars really close.
