Medusa Brooklyn Reviews
This was my first time going to this bar and I really enjoyed it. I tried a couple cocktails while there and the Espresso Martini was one of the best I've ever had! The bar had a cool vibe going on and it seems they even have live music sometimes which is fun. The bartender, Ramsey, was very attentive as well and did an excellent job serving my group and making amazing cocktails. I'll definitely be back!
Hidden gem alert right here, Medusa has a Greek mythology theme crossed with a Brooklyn vibe — exposed brick and a super chill backyard space, perfect for Fall! They have the best HAPPY HOUR deals in Williamsburg, hard to find prices like this in this area anymore: 🍹$7 Well drinks 🍻$7 Beer + Shot 🥃 $10 cosmos, Margs, Old-fashions Our fav Cocktails: 🍋 MEDUSA SOUR: Gin, Midori, Lemon, Lime, Egg White, Basil, Cherry 🦋 PEGASUS: Misguided Vodka, Elderflower, Lemon, Pomegranate, Butterfly Peaflower
The old BCC appears to have been taken over by new blood, and it is awesome! A sexy green theme pervades the space with a new, comfortable outdoor area. Tasty drinks served by friendly staff. Good luck, Medusa!

Great bar with a nice selection of cocktails and the good spot served delicious tater tots 😋
Love this bar! Great cocktails and friendly staff. The decor is very nice and I really enjoy the patio out back. One of my favorite spots in the city!
Came here for Halloween weekend and it was really awesome! Loved the decor and the service was awesome, on top of the drinks being delicious. Garden patio in the back is delightful. I see why this place has such high ratings! Will be back.
The service here is truly great, it's a very welcoming spot and I always have a good time. Easy to get a drink, easy to talk to the staff and people. Part of what makes Grand St grand.
This joint is amazing. Such nice staff! They were incredibly accommodating to me and a large group I hosted for a short film screening. They went above and beyond! The location is great- they have a backyard and a spacious bar. The cocktail menu is extensive and the new wine list- yes please. There’s a nice vibe with regulars and randos mixed in. Felt like a space anyone would be welcome in. Super grateful to their team. Highly recommend for rolling in with a buddy for drinks or having a party!!! Ps- no food but outside food allowed, and a good happy hour too!
A very relaxed and chill spot for anyone looking to spend some quality time with friends and/or loved ones, with reasonably priced drinks and within walking distance of the nearest train station.
A beautiful spot that has everything. Well-crafted cocktails from experienced bartenders? Yup. Excellent wine list with some nice, affordable gems? You bet. Gorgeous outdoor patio with fragrant rose blooms climbing the walls and boughs of willow shading overhead? That too. Drag shows and opera singers and a bricolage of other entertainment properties? Absolutely. A co-operative ownership of service industry folks with supporting? Mm-hmm. If you haven't been, go. Make it your regular spot. You won't be disappointed.
Favorite new bar in the area. Friendliest bartenders in Brooklyn, fantastic cocktails, great ambiance -- especially when it's nice out and you can use the giant outdoor space. Been to two birthday parties there so far, great place for a small group.
Awesome cocktails. Such friendly and engaging service. Ready to make new cocktails or mocktails on the fly. I've been there several times for Burlesque shows and just to hang out. The backyard is gorgeous, spacious and relaxing. Hours fly by back there. Never disappointed when we hangout here.
Cute bar with great vibes. They have a backyard and it’s just super chill. The bartender Shawn is awesome!
It's so cute, the disco Medusa is fabulous. Great happy hour and lovely staff.
Amazing spot. Fantastic bartenders, great food, friendly vibe. Even has a beautiful outdoor space. The cocktails are a must try! Lovingly crafted, delicious and complex. A true gem.
This establishment is tremendous. Will absolutely be going back on my next trip to the city! The staff are very welcoming. The drinks are fantastic. And with an outdoor patio area! Medusa has easily became a fast favorite!
Super chill place with quality drinks and bartenders who actually care. Only came here a few times and this is my new favorite bar!! You definitely need to come here and enjoy one of their cocktails! Can’t wait to come back!

Some of the best bartenders in Brooklyn, with a great cocktail menu, and a solid date spot! Beautiful vibe and great music. Can't recommend enough!
It was empty when I got here. It's a big space and they have a backyard but it was too cold to go out there. They have a good happy hour but no draft beers. Alex the bartender was amazing. Laid back atmosphere. I would consider going back. Unfortunately it was Alex's last day.

Came here for a friend's birthday party, and the vibes were extremely chill. There were no TVs on to watch any games or anything, but we socialized and had a great time. Would recommend for a more chill atmosphere.
The bar has a nice vibe, but seriously—if you can't make a proper Tequila Sunrise, all those flashy cocktails on display mean nothing. The one I got was drowned in syrup; that’s all I could taste. When I mentioned it, the bartender blamed it on using a different tequila. No—what I tasted was straight-up syrup. I ended up ordering a rum and coke instead, because at least that’s not hard to mess up. Safe to say, I won’t be returning.
