The most wonderful bar tenders (owners (MIKE N KENNY) bands on weekends (Nice crowds) (Also it has become my family place to hang) very very clean place and the atmosphere is the best around. Stop by and see for yourself (Football games on multiple T.V.'S SETS AND ALSO A PARTY ROOM IN THE BACK WITH OUTSIDE TABLE'S TO HANG WITH OCCASIONAL BARBEQUES ON WEEKENDS.

I rented their back room and the patio for an engagement party. The place was great . Mike is super helpful. They provide tables and chair. Although you can't bring your own liquor, guest can get drinks at the bar. Do recommend

The owner Mike Gallagher was an all around stand up guy. he was very helpful to my needs and very nice and welcoming to me and my family and my party guests. we had our sons 2nd birthday party here and it was the greatest experience in hospitality we have ever received. our guests couldnt stop raving about the place. it was all around awsome no complaints at all. we will definitely be back again. Everybody should go check it out. hope you love it as much as i did!! thanks Mike Gallagher @the lief bar!!!!

Family run dive bar/watering hole with a nice backyard and fun bartender. Crowd runs a bit on the older side but this place has been here forever and has loyal customers who have grown to be family friends.

Had an event in the back room, space was nice. A little on the older side but served its function. The bar itself is a very cute local bar. Staff is super friendly.

Nice crowd. Conveniently located on 67th and Senator Street in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. Not a large place, but not a small place either. Attentive and friendly bartenders. Went as an invited guest. Will not hesitate to return on my own. The B-63 will drop you nearby.

It's a local bar where everyone goes and you are sure to run into someone you know. It doesn't serve food but if your having a party there you can bring your own food in.
