Loafers Cocktail Bar

A subversively delightful bar. One walks in and the place is cozy with just the right touches of freshness to keep it from being a pastiche. The lighting is soft, so everyone looks beautiful, even if you had a less-than-spectacular day. There’s a lovely mural as a back to the bar instead of filmy mirrors. There’s a marvelous soundtrack of gay chestnuts playing as background music for whatever one might choose to create. The selection of craft cocktails is impressive and creative. Many of their potions are made in house and exquisite. Every drink was served with care in some marvelous “found” stemware. Props for repurposing. I was fortunate to stroll in on an evening when Brenden, the owner, was working. I quickly became obsessed with his attention to detail, not to mention the supporting cast. Everyone worked so well and in concert, constantly checking, cleaning, restocking, prepping and it all looked effortless. This is a great bar in which to summon your friends, relax, throw off your cares, and create memories.

I ran into a creep on the streets so I ducked into the local neighborhood gay bar and I was met with kindness, help and an amazing martini. Adam made me feel safe and welcomed. An awesome staple of Carrol Gardens.

Amazing staff. Great music. Super chill.

i performed at loafers as a dj — it’s been a great experience! the team is very friendly and the crowd is nice. i loved the interior and the atmosphere, the non-alcoholic options and mocktails are great. thank you 🌸

Popped in here the other day with my crew and the place is super cute and the drinks were great! The bartender was very nice and very attentive! The glassware was also so cute! Great to have a queer bar in this area!

Great little bar with a welcoming and wonderful vibe. Always has a wonderful bartender and always has a fantastic drink. If I could give her a 15 out of 10 I would.

Classic bar, on a lovely corner space, with great drinks - definitely gonna come back!

Wow it’s possible to do karaoke here without needing to be drunk 👍

The best!

A nostalgic throwback to the classic cocktail bar. It’s worth a special trip to experience it.

So happy to have Loafers in our hood. Warm and cozy and welcoming!

So cute! Great cocktail options.

The only gay local bar on Court Street but it's a very expensive place a mixed cocktail drink is about $15 and $18 there are no drink specials or any domestic beers, good music friendly bartenders...

Average cocktails, pizza is awful, ambience is nice.
