I’ve lived in Brooklyn for ages, walked by a million times, and somehow never noticed it. The drinks? Incredible. Strong enough to give you a confidence boost but smooth enough to keep things classy. Perfect for date night or your first Bumble date — long cocktail list, unique flavors, and not as crowded as you’d expect.

Get the warm Hummus with brown butter and toasted pine nuts! It's so good. Can't explain much than that. Also get into an african gin that reasonably priced. Bayab orange and marula . Really good good gin for all gin based cocktails. Been looking for this brand for awhile. Glad they have it here! Also the bartenders here are amazing, know their spirits, and care about their craft. Really friendly too.

Calm and cool setting. Our waiter Gabriel was very nice. The ambiance was perfect; my husband and I truly enjoyed the vibe. I ordered the roasted oysters (which were amazing) and several dirty martinis. We will be back.

Great spot for dates or catching up with friends over drinks. It gets pretty busy, so either get there early or make a reservation ahead of time. Great service and good cocktails with an intimate ambience. What more could you ask for? ❤️

The vibe is a vibe. Amazing customer service, drinks are distinctively magical. Super calm and cozy. Intimate setting where you can actually hear yourself think.

I’m not sure what my favorite part was because our entire time here was so well spent. I loved how gorgeous & luxurious the interior was, the well crafted beverage program & the music. Not once did it feel pretentious or snobby. If you don’t know what punt-a-mes is the bartender, Will, would happily walk you through any of the spirits and cocktails they offer or even make you an outstanding rendition of whatever it is you’re looking for. Perfectly priced for what you’re getting. There is something here for everyone. Thank you.

the equaforward was probably the best martinis i’ve had. would buy a carton of those pickled olives. our server was amazing and so knowledgeable and passionate about the ingredients. loved our time here

Tucked away behind a coffee shop, Bar Francis offers an amazing experience. Our waiter Frank was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. The drinks are unique, strong, and packed with flavor. The oysters and the hummus were divine. I will be back!

The vibes are immaculate. Yacht rock playing paired great with my wine. The decor and lighting creates a relaxing intimate mood. Great place to grab a glass or two of wine and some apps with a friend or a date.

I haven't tried the food here yet, so this review is based on the drinks and service. I've been a few times, and each visit has been excellent. The drinks are creative and delicious! On one visit with a group of 6, the tip was automatically added, and our server made sure to let us know when he brought the check. He was also incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the night. Great spot for drinks and great service!

A charming bat that you enter through a coffee shop. Through a big wooden door and voila a beautiful cozy bar. Artisanal cocktails. Wonderful bartender who told us about a lot of different gins! We really loved it. And a great martini!

Frank is one of the best bar servers in NYC. Bar program that rivals the best in the city with neighborhood quality service.

I love coming here. The staff is always so personable. I always feel welcomed in this space. The bartenders are always extremely attentive and they make a great espresso martini. I tried the hummus the last time I went and really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back.

Hidden gem. Don’t let the coffee shop entrance fool you. Great chill vibe. And even better cocktails. Will and Laurel at the bar are awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely get a cocktail with Will’s signature pickled (yes pickled!) olives.

FRANK IS MY GUY!!!! I always look forward to seeing him as my server whenever I am there! He is highly personable, highly knowledgeable, and makes an already awesome experience at Bar Francis even more delightful!!! LOVE ME SOME FRANK!!!! The VIBE is very cozy, intimate, and relaxing!! I take many of my first dates here, and it almost always hits! The atmosphere, the drinks, the service! I even have "My Table!" When I call to make a reservation, they already know what time it is! To the Men who live/work in the Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope area, THIS...IS...THE...DATE...SPOT!!!!! DO IT FELLAS!! PLAN IT!! Just Don't Take "MY" TABLE when I'm there!! LMAO!!!! 😉💪🏽😏😎

We have been meaning to come here for over two years now since they first opened. We always love ourselves as speakeasy cocktail bar. The service was nothing short of amazing. The spirit selection varied a lot. We were actually shot at how many bottles they carried. A lot of them aren’t regularly seen. The bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly. We grabbed two seats at the bar. And the drinks were very pleasant. Would be happy to come back and try out a few more of their cocktails.

Enter through Hungry Ghost coffee - next door. Go for solid cocktails in an intimate, booth-lined space with good lighting. Don’t miss the eggplant or pistachio dips.

I'm sad to write this because I love the place and the drinks were amazing, but I did not have a pleasant experience with the manager. His attitude and behavior towards customers need to improve. The way he spoke to me regarding my concerns about the oysters was terrible. Please do better.
