The Tradesman Bar Brooklyn Reviews
Fav go to spot for a gin martini or low key hang, the staff and owner are all friendly and mix a mean cocktail. Great ambience, killer conversations always. Hosts weekly events like trivia, karaoke, and live music, a beautiful backyard. Food specials vary. Nugget loves the backyard.
Recently had my birthday party at the Tradesman and it was awesome! The space fit perfectly my party, the drinks were good and well priced. The staff were super hospitable and professional and really ensured we had a great time. The space is surprisingly big especially with the back space. Could not recommend them enough!
Great neighborhood spot! My favorite part is the outdoor area. It’s comfortable and secluded with lots of seating. The drinks and beers are good too, with decent deals for happy hour.
I come here EVERY weekend. It’s my favorite spot in the city. The bartender is always kind and welcoming, the drinks are amazing, especially the hibiscus margarita. Also the music is great! I highly recommend this spot to everyone.
I have attended many karaoke nights at bars for years now. Lately I have not been able to find the vibe I'm looking for to feel comfortable. This place was the best in recent memory. The songs people picked were great. The people all seemed warm and friendly. I'm definitely going back there for that. In general the staff are chill and courteous. They had some cheap beer choices which is a plus when drinking on a budget. 😆. All in all it is a great bar to drink at.
A friend of a friend is a serious beer aficionado, and I was instructed to meet them here at the Tradesman. It stopped raining about 4 or 5 minutes before I arrived, and that was awesome because you have to sit outside. We were the only people in there for about 5 minutes. My guess is that people were waiting on the rain to stop before arriving. I was advised to try a ale called Half Acre. I liked it, and it went with with my veggie meal. The counter people were nice and fast bringing your order. I’ll go there when I’m in bushwick. #nyc #brooklyn #ipa #kingofcoffeenyc #beer #ale
A cozy neighborhood bar, Tradesman attracts creative professionals, especially musicians from the nearby studios on Meserole Street. Weekend brunch includes a selection of regular favorites like challah French toast and rotating items based on fresh available local ingredients. The backyard is a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, and Happy Hour Sunday through Friday helps keep the booze affordable. Great selection of custom cocktails.
Cocktail was good. Hipster bartender wearing a fedora told me there was no way he would serve a cocktail with a dead fly in it after I brought it back when I noticed it. Unapologetic.
THIS BAR DOES NOT ANSWER PATRON PHONE CALLS OR EMAILS. MY CARD WAS MISPLACED AND THEY WERE NO HELP IN LETTING ME KNOW IF THEY WERE IN POSSESSION. I CALLED THREE TIMES AND LEFT VOICEMAILS AS WELL AS SENT A DETAILED MESSAGE THAT WAS READ AND LEFT UNANSWERED. EVEN WHEN I RETRIEVED MY CARD THE BARTENDER HAD NO NICETIES OR APOLOGIES FOR ME. WHILE I’M GRATEFUL MY CARD WAS UNHARMED. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A PEACE OF MIND BY HELPING A PATRON BEGGING FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FOOD IS MID AND THE MOCKTAILS ARE OVERPRICED.
We were having a pleasant experience until the bill came. We paid but we did not include the tip on the card. We always give tips in cash because it is better for people. But the bartman started yelling at me, calling me poor, driving me out of the place in front of his friends. He was most unpleasant and rude. Honestly, I was left with the money in my hand and out of anger because he kept yelling at me. I don't know if he's the owner to do this, but it's not okay to yell at people.
