The Commissioner Brooklyn Reviews
A time was had pregaming with the bday gyal yesterday! Much thanks to the team for the support and outstanding hospitality!
Best staff at any bar in Park Slope! I feel so welcomed and taken care of when I’m here.
I reserved the dart board area for a 30th birthday party. It was a wonderful experience and the staff was so accommodating— they even made a personalized birthday banner. We ordered finger foods that were delicious and high quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun venue with lots of character!
Wonderful staff & great atmosphere. The kitchen does a great job. Awesome place to watch football — I will certainly be back my next trip this way! 👍👍
I feel bad that I didn’t get the bartender’s name but he was extremely kind. I could also tell from his interactions with what I’m guessing are regular customers that he’s genuinely kind and a crowd favorite. And I’ll be honest, the food was better than I anticipated. I’ll definitely be back.
Been coming here for some years now, makes me feel like I'm in the city vibes. They got a disco ball, DJ on the weekends, photo booth which you can stick your photo on the wall which is a dope memory and darts. The drinks are good the staff is amazing like one thing I love about a bar is the staff. They always treat me with love so I'll always come back. I suggest Saturday nights, but wed, Thurs and Fridays are fun also. Haven't been there Mon or tuesdays..... yet !
Hardest working crew! Great service, and they make you feel right at home. A neighborhood staple!! Tots for the win.
There is a wide selection of drinks and tasty appetizers. There are tables outside. Highly recommended
Owners are super nice, it is like they are welcoming you into their home. Not just a bar, but a community. And the totchos will change your life 🤤
The Commissioner ROCKS! Its a great place to hangout with friends. They have friendly services and great bar food. Love the tots. 10/10 would go back
Dan is an absolute gem. He remembers me every time I come back, even my preferences! He recognizes my loyalty to the commissioner and in return makes me feel valued. Because of this, I continue to return knowing that Dan will always take care of me! Please recognize Dan’s exceptional service. He is certainly a value to your business!
Me and my best friend went to celebrate my birthday and the vibes were great. The bartenders were great. We enjoyed our food and watched the eagles win !
My husband and I celebrated our wedding after party at The Commissioner and we were SO happy we did! They were so welcoming and accommodating: they let us reserve the space in the back for no extra cost, allowed us to get pizza delivered, and even decorated the space to welcome us. The DJ played great music, drinks were good and affordable, and there was such a fun atmosphere! Highly recommend if you are looking for a party space in the area!
We came here today for the first time and I just can say it’s an amazing bar with fresh draft beer! Buffalo chicken wings was soooo delicious! Blue cheese and celery was sooooo fresh! We also order burger that $9 and fries for $3! Everything was goood! Definitely will be back again! Service is excellent ! Thanks a lot for great night! On Monday night bar was packed
Made a reservation for my birthday, we had a whole section to ourselves and we did not have to pay to hold it. Cheap, strong drinks and food was good. Waiters/bartenders were all very nice! Music was a bit loud though...will definitely come back!
I’ve been to The Commissioner a few times for a pint but today I had the food. Holy smokes, I had no clue! I met the incredibly nice owner and he suggested Tenders with Ranch and Nasheville Hot dipping sauce and a side of tots. First of all, if the owner recommends something, just do it. The food was out super quick and cooked perfectly. Tots are easy to screw up, these were crispy on the outside and tiny potato clouds on the inside. I can’t even describe how good the chicken tenders were, how??? Just perfect. The other staff was also helpful and friendly and I’d go there everyday if I could. If you’re in Park Slope go to The Commissioner. If you’re not in Park Slope… go.
What can I say except you will love this little bar. The staff and owner become your friends and have you talking and laughing for hours. It's friendly and family feeling is just what you need after a long day. The drinks are great and not expensive at all. Happy hour is dangerous but worth the risk 😂 especially as the prices are good.
