This establishment is a local gem!!! The vibe, friendly atmosphere, and warmth make it a standout. Residents and people far and wide love it. Bartenders are the best!!! A favorite day of the week is Sundays with Charlie- fabulous playlist and good energy. But all days are good days at 68 Jay Bar

Had a awesome time having a beer and chatting with Jessie

By chance we stumbled upon this hidden gem of a bar. (It was hot that day and all the main street big places were packed.) Here we could sample some local beers served by Jessy, a barman with amazing energy. Made us feel at home, dispencing tips about NYC with passion.

68 Jay Street Bar offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The intimate ambiance creates a perfect setting for quiet nights. The talented bartender crafts delightful cocktails, catering to those seeking a peaceful and relaxing experience. Nestled in a prime Dumbo location, this bar is a hidden treasure for patrons in search of a tranquil retreat.

Great neighborhood spot! Where the artists in Dumbo come to hang out after the tourists leave. Great space, great place

I was hoping we would happen across a hidden gem, and this was it for us. After nearly pissing ourselves crossing the Manhattan Bridge in the rain, we were desperately looking for a bathroom. Heading towards DUMBO already, we stopped into this bar. When we finished going to the bathroom and I shared with the bartender that we were grateful to have a place to pee he replied with "Well you don't have to order a drink if you just needed to pee". Major points earned with that comment. 1 drink turned into several hours there and he even charged our phones for us! Locals at the bar were friendly. Overall a fun experience.

Kate is your perfect bartender. She will give you more booze than you ask for and runs a beautiful establishment. I 100% recommend stopping in at this place whether you are escaping hurricane Henri or are just looking for a nice, tasty, cheap beverage. Please come here, spend some moola and have a grand old time.

I love this little bar. Super friendly bartenders make great conversation and good drinks. It's very down to earth and casual, I felt like a regular on my first visit! Plus, you can pay with Venmo.

Very good food, but the waiters all gathered on the counter and it was very, very difficult to call them. We had a Prosciutto with mozzarella as starter — goes very well with a Primitivo wine! Gnocchi al Forno and Pappardele with boar ragu were also great.

Great deals, beautiful location, hard working bar tender, but not a diverse crowd at all.

The music was the catch for me. The fact they were playing songs by some of the greatest of our times, like marvin gaye, was definitely the jackpot. Pool table is in there as well. Also the bartenders are very friendly.

Place is fine. Happy hour is reasonable. Service was good. Beer selection needs work, and I think they could do well with adding a little more live entertainment on the opposite side. Would really drive the crowd more here on the week nights. I really think this could be a great watering hole for the all the workers in the area, but they don't throw many events. Overall, if you are just in the area to grab a beer, maybe spend some time writing in a journal or chatting with the people you are with, this is a good place to be.

Cute little local bar with good prices and happy hour mon-fri. 2-7pm

The waiters had that attitude where they are better than you or not worth their time. I did not feel welcomed. Also its cash only so know before you go there. The pizza was small and a bit pricey but good. I liked the food.

i ordered their rustic pizza which features sopressata and red peppers. the pie came out within 5 minutes which is nice if you want a quick bite. the pizza itself was decent— nothing really outstanding about it. the tomato sauce and cheese were pretty standard and the sopressata was one of the redeeming qualities. they do use a brick oven to bake their pizzas which adds a nice charcoal/smoky flavor

interesting experience. didn’t know you could really go wrong with pizza in Brooklyn, or pizza in general, but we made the mistake of wanting to try one of the unique Wood Fire Pizza options, so decided on the Soppresata!!! pizza. But received a much different pizza than what was featured on the online menu. As a frequent traveler and long time F&B myself, I’m not normally one to leave negative reviews - but draw the line on receiving a pizza with Maraschino cherries on it. We didn’t sent it back considering how long it took to get our glasses of wine (20 mins) and pizza (30+),on a Monday night after 7, despite the 3 other tables in the restaurant already eating when we’d arrived, we were hungry, disappointed, and still had an open mind about trying the pizza. If the pizza didn’t have the maraschino cherries on it, it would’ve probably been good, but a $67.50 bill (not including tip) for a pizza, 2 glasses of wine, and a single shot espresso… honestly, wouldn’t recommend.

The food was not worth the price. The location was cute. The drinks were mediocre. The presentation was very underwhelming. What saved everything was Arthur our server The location if you don’t mind passing trains over head is decent. The drinks were mediocre and poorly executed. Dishes served on super chipped plates. Arthur who I wish I had nothing bad to say still didn’t really know the liquor they had at the bar. And had to be reminded to bring certain items to the table. Miss matching silverware, the roughest napkins, and barely any ice in the drinks. Especially on a very warm day that it was. This occasion reminds me why I always Google search and read reviews on places so that I have a heads up. So that when I’m out on a date and not just randomly picking a spot because of a location. That is worth my time, calories, and hard earned money. Thank you for a horrible experience will never recommend and will tell others to stay away

$30 for a vegan ice cold pizza I'm not living far and the driver told me that it wasn't even hot anymore when it got picked up Why is it without tomato sauce? Even if it would have been hot it would be overpriced. inedible They haven't responded to my message or phone call, not interested to improve.

Kudo's to the pizza baker, great pizza with thin crushy bottom. The service without a smile. That girl came without any request from me with the receipt and herself made 22% tip in it. Without any shame, no smile nor eyecontact and without any words. Shameless. I do not recomment

On October 3rd, at approximately 7:30 PM, I entered Love and Dough Pizzeria. My uncle had just purchased a box of pizza, and within 10 minutes, I re-entered with two little girls, ages six, to use the restroom. When I asked the manager, Stefon, if the children could use the bathroom, he was extremely rude and dismissive, despite me explaining that I was a paying customer. Hoping for help, I approached the waiter, Alex, but he looked me up and down and walked away without a word. The cashier, Ri, was the only staff member who showed kindness. She listened politely, though she seemed embarrassed by her colleagues’ behavior. Because she could not resolve the issue, I purchased another slice of pizza ($5.25) just to be able to allow the children access to the bathroom. Only then did Stefon return and say we could use the restroom as though I had not already been a paying customer. The entire interaction was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely lacking in customer service etiquette. The pizza itself was below average, but the bigger issue was the negative energy, dismissive attitude, and lack of basic courtesy from management and staff. I told them to keep the slice I had purchased and suggested they give it to someone in need, as I refused to take it after such treatment. I will not return to this establishment and cannot recommend it to anyone not because of the food alone, but because of the appalling behavior and lack of respect for customers.

My one-star rating comes not because of the sub-par yet overpriced pizza, but due to the abysmal service and treatment my partner and I received during our less-than-30-minute stay at this establishment. Both waiter & host barely said any words to us. The waiter, in serving my partner his ordered drink, slammed the glass onto our table abruptly and left. Said waiter also brought us the cheque before we even finished our pizza. We received the message loud and clear and so we paid and left not long after. I suppose the one good thing about the situation is that we did not have to wait long for our meal to come to our table, so we were not subject to spending too much time in an establishment where we were clearly unwelcome. I've now read the other poor reviews from other POC on here and should've done it before patronizing this establishment. Regrettably dined in on May 31st at around 2:30pm.

Literally just went here, 5/10/25 , 7:15 pm, and guy at the door has the energy of a bouncer! Blocking the door! Are you closed? No. Whites only? No? I see a Sister sitting in the front. Weird, I didn't feel welcomed! Totally turned off and went next door to Tommy's Bar and Burger, which was friendly, welcoming, and with better ambiance and food and drinks were amazing! Don't go here!

Do not order anything fresh here. My salad had tons of rotten lettuce, some old, cold, tough brussel sprouts, some of which had brown centers, some grated Parmesan, and the one edible part of the salad- toasted pine nuts. I got to sift through all of this while seated next to a filthy wall.

Terrible experience. The manager was shockingly rude, unprofessional, and borderline aggressive. We had friends visiting from Germany and wanted to give them a classic NY pizza moment. We saw the large pie on display and asked if we could order it for the table—happy to pay for all the slices or even an upcharge. The waiter initially said no but suggested asking the manager. When I politely explained the situation, the manager abruptly and repeatedly said “no” with no explanation, just cold, dismissive responses that made the staff visibly uncomfortable. I remained polite the entire time, but his demeanor made the entire experience uncomfortable and embarrassing. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Spending $200 has never hurt so much! Here’s his photo so you could stay clear of this place!

I would give 0 stars if I could. The place had a a funky smell but I gave it a chance. Shouldn’t have because the smell definitely came from the spoiled cheese that was on my pizza slice. I couldn’t even finish my pizza. After I left I checked out the market across the street for about 10 minutes before my stomach started to hurt (probably from the pizza) I had to use the restroom so I went back here and was turned away, first because they said I wasn’t a “paying customer” after I reminded them of the pizza I just bought they changed it and said “the restroom is for dining customers only”. Terrible, spoiled food and even worse hospitality. DO NOT give this place your time or money.

The lasagna taste horrible, n the hangar steak tasted spoil the only good thing was the fries 🍟 for the price we paid $100.00 with tip it was not worth it , I do not recommend this place at all 👎👎

I would give zero stars if that was an option. $100 for two pizzas and plain pasta. The pizza was just okay, and the pasta was overdone mush. The service was awful. We waited forever for our food, they refused the simplest requests (no sauce on pasta), and then we waited forever for our check. Every table around us was complaining about food arriving late or incorrect. The table next to us had to ask three times for cutlery. Then, the server had the absolute gall to tip herself above the standard percentage on my card, requiring me to contest it with my bank. Lastly, the chairs are cheap plastic, and every time we moved, the legs went out from under us - and trying to get to the door in a tiny and overcrowded space was anxiety-producing. We will never come back.

Extremely rude bartender Came in just to relax and have a drink after traveling. I have sinus issues and was scrolling quietly through my phone when the bartender, Charlie, rudely told me to “turn my volume down.” The tone and attitude were completely uncalled for, especially in a public bar where I wasn’t disturbing anyone. I left feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Definitely not a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for friendly service or basic courtesy. And I never ever write bad reviews

A small group of friends and myself walked into a nearly empty bar, I noticed the bartender roll her eyes. As we started to order, the first friend needed more time but the bartender became frustrated. Before taking the next order, she announced that she would not be separating checks and we'd have to figure it out. I immediately walked out. I'm from New Orleans and EVERYONE I live with is in the service industry. They never would have treated guests this way. Had the woman stated that separating checks would be impossible, I would have stayed. But her poor attitude and disrespect drove me away and I even called other friends to warn them who then canceled their plans. I am a big tipper and ALWAYS tip but I would not have tipped that night. This was the woman working Sunday PM, Aug 25.

Place looks beautiful but the experience was completely ruined by the bartender the minute my wife and I walked in here. Despite there only being 1 customer at the bar, we did not even get greeted with a smile or frieblndly glance. We awkwardly stood by the bar without our presence being acknowledged until we called her over to ask what there was to drink on tap or about happy hour specials. We tipped anyway but I have to say I have never felt so unwelcome at a bar in this part of town. We were prepared to kill 2-3 hours here before catching a later train, instead we just closed out our tab at the end of the first round and couldn't wait to finish up just so we can go somewhere more welcoming.
