I’ve been here before and I wasn’t impressed but I saw on greenpointers there was a new chef so I tried again. Life changing french onion soup and the dessert was really yummy :)

Best French onion soup I’ve ever had in my life. Perfect ratio of cheese, to onions, to broth. Delicious crispy cheese around the edges of the bowl. Would go back just for that. Also got the Apres-Ski cocktail - best spiked hot chocolate I’ve ever had!! Also love the ambiance. Christmas lights at this time of year really make it whimsical.

I've been coming to this bar since they first opened, and it’s easily one of my favorite local spots. The atmosphere is always laid-back and welcoming. They know how to craft an amazing cocktail.

Quiet, cozy and unassuming bar. Not much on the food menu however cocktails are all on point. This is located away from hustle and bustle spots near McCarran Park so if you just wanna chill with friends with quiet environment, then this is your place. Outdoor area available when weather permits. Very clean and staff is always pleasant.

The frozen painkillers are phenomenal!! Really nice little spot to hang out and have a tasty beverage. One of my favorite spots in the area.

Okay. Howww have I lived in Greenpoint for over a year and just discovered this place. What a vibe. Good drinks. Great bartender. Delicious nibbles. Went on a Monday. Was just going for a glass of wine in this beautiful weather and now I have the perfect watering hole.

Cannot recommend this place enough - the vibe, drinks & food are amazing. Taryn was incredible - so attentive, made incredible drinks & checked in on our experience. Went above & beyond and made this place my new neighborhood favorite. Go here if you want to have a great experience whatever night of the week.

Came here for oysters and a martini (a favorite combination which also serves as a litmus test) and they nailed it! We stayed for a second on-menu drink, too. Stunning interior and a really kind bartender sealed the deal. I'll definitely be returning!

An absolutely beautiful bar - just breathtaking decor - with well-made cocktails. Incredible soundtrack and vibes. The two male bartenders were weirdly unfriendly but the rest of the experience more than made up for them.

Found this cocktail place by accident, drinks were good, space was very attractive, didn't think the service was all that warm but the rest of the experience made up for it. Nice bar.

Great cocktails, even better vibes! Loved their hot toddies 🥰

Diamond Lil kind of reminds me of an Elvish set in Lord of the Rings. Everything is green, earthy, wooden, and ornate. Impeccably designed. The drinks are quite good, and the oyster happy hour is nice, but let’s be honest: I’m in there to soak in the good energy and people watch Greenpointers and make up stories about their lives. 🤷‍♂️

My absolute favorite neighborhood bar! Gorgeous design (check out the loo) cool stained glass all over the bar by Friends of All (another local business). Great bartenders, drinks, and delicious oysters!

One of my favorite cocktail bars in NYC. Good cocktail selection, and great intimate space. Radiates warmth and allure.

Their Manhattans never disappoint, and the oysters are a solid happy hour pick. Great little backyard to enjoy either when the weather allows. Cheers

Very nice patio, good cocktails but staff was rude and so slow. I ordered a beer can, the waitress served it and then talked for 3 min with her colleague before taking my card. Come on, find a job that pays you to talk. My wife went outside with a drink and they went to prevent her, which we completely understand and she got back in straight away, then they refused to serve her.

Service was awful. Not a smile, we were under the impression that we disturbed the 2 bartenders that were there that night (Sept-27). Also, they kept on coming outside saying we can’t have drinks outside. It happened once and I totally got it. A friend had just bought me a drink and brought it outside and I went back in straight away. I even asked a couple sitting by the window to keep my drink whenever I was going outside. They might have confused me with somebody else cause I got categorically refused my next order with the boy. He was very rude. Both of them were extremely unfriendly. The place otherwise is lovely but that made the experience not so good unfortunately.

Bartender charged my lady full price for a happy hour drink because she asked him to make it without pineapple juice (she’s allergic). “If we do it for you we have to do it for everyone.” Incredible boundary setting, go off King <3
