Le Pistol

The food was phenomenal, we had the frites, pork belly, smash burger and shrimp and grits. Everything was made to perfection, the flavors blended amazing with each bite. The staff is so kind and personable. Will definitely be back!

Four of us enjoyed Sunday brunch! We cleaned our own plates and the extra fruit plate and table pancake plate. I’ll speak to the most delicious Shrimp & Grits I’ve ever had. That says everything as that and eggs Benedict are two of my faves to try everywhere and compare. First, the grits were creamiest ever. The grilled shrimp was done perfectly, but the addition of soft, thin onion slices, bites of porkbelly, and sweet microgreens made every bite delicious. We were visiting Brooklyn, but our kids said they added Le Pistol to their top 5 now.

Stopped here before a concert and I loved this little gem! The drinks were so good and the salmon was so delicious! The atmosphere is chic and the service exceeded my expectations. Our server Cesar did a great job and made sure we were never low on drinks! I will definitely return here for brunch next time because their brunch menu looked yummy too! Do yourself a favor and dine here!

OMG this place ROCKS! Happy hour? amazing Late night happy hour? double amazing. am i drunk right now? YES BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. I’m so glad this bar exists. Vibe is super great. Staff is chill. Food is TASTY. 11 dollar old fashioned at HH? just literally drown me in a barrel of whiskey and bitters.

I went here with a friend on late hours, without any prior reservations. It was 80% full but we still got the table right away. Ordered the drinks, which were pretty good and looked pretty too. We ordered fries with cheese sauce, not really a fan of it. But we also ordered whipped Feta, that one was really good. I would say the place is more for drinks. Really nice music. It was not live but still the playlist was so good! Perfect place to hang out with friends and couple drinks.

Favorite neighborhood gem. Outstanding food and atmosphere. Their burger is a must have in addition with their flight of fries with 3 delicious sauces on a side. If you haven’t been here before you have to give it a try.

My drink (Bad Bunny) was phenomenal! Burger and fries amazing! On top of that the dark and cozy vibes were exactly what I was looking for during my trip to Brooklyn. I will most definitely be back! <3

My favorite bar in Prospect Heights!!!!! Located on the cutest corner with the best ambiance, patio, bar, music, and people!!! The burger here is out of this world— brioche bun, garlic parm aioli, tomato aleppo jam, French meunster cheese, carmelized onion, smashed patties I mean it really can’t get better and more delicious than that, it’s definitely my favorite on the menu. I come here for that homey yet chic experience and excellent place to sip a wine with a friend. Grateful this place exists!!!!

Stopped in midday for late lunch. Never been before but was curious. Was greeted by Danny’s super positive energy and great recommendations. Got the smash burger, fries (burger came with $2 happy hour beer so fun bonus) and enjoyed every bite of it all. Was a fun surprise to the hot summer day. Showed friends pics of the food while I was here and they said they’re coming back with me next time. Def recommend and def coming back.

Okay this place is SUCH a good place to celebrate a birthday!!!! My friend Jen loves meat! She actually loves steak houses which is kind of weird to me no offense Jen! So just so you know my friend Jen knows her meat and her martinis! Which is cool! The burger and martini is to DIE FOR!!!!! They know how to make a martini with lemon twist (double!!!) and a squirt of lemon juice!!! XOXO!!! Yummy!!!!!! Churros are so good here! They’ll put a candle in it which is cool 😎

Great ambiance and service that accompany a small but incredible menu! A standout was the fried chicken caesar sandwich - the breading really stood out not only for being flavorful but for holding onto the chicken thru every bite. Had the brooklyn burger as well that had a touch of sweetness which balanced all the flavors. I live nearby & will definitely be back!

Amazing spot in Prospect Heights! The cocktails and food are so good. The staff are friendly and attentive! I had the Punk 75 and the Oxtail French Dip! 🤤 apparently this is the new happening spot in Brooklyn! Definitely coming back here!

Tanesha Jenkins

Love this bar/cafe.. The drinks & food are amazing!!! I love a good burger but if you're looking for something a little more elevated, get the oxtail dip on baguette!!!!!!!!! Absolutely delicious. I almost stopped by today for another one. The deviled eggs are a hit as well. Good food, cocktails, & tunes..

Very nice spot to get together with a friend or a small family get together. Unfortunately I was driving a pregnant lady,so I couldn't drink. Food was good,but my main reason, for going back would be atmosphere: people, music,relax design.

Claire Eckert

This is the type of bar you want to find yourself in on a crisp rainy night. I’m surprised this isn’t a city known burger it was so good. Loved the chicken sandwich and drinks as well! The waiters were so friendly and I happened to be there during live jazz!

This place is such a gem! Everything from the food to the drinks to the atmosphere is such a fun (and almost European!) vibe! 10/10. No notes!

I can’t rate this place highly enough. Neighborhood vibes, the bartenders get to know you, and the food and drinks are outstanding. The quality is extremely high and it’s a vibey atmosphere without being pretentious. 10/10!!!

Been here quite a few times, and every time is just a little different but still wonderful. Excellent bartending, a menu they change up just often enough to keep forcing you out of your comfort zone -- everything's great -- and the best vibes and atmosphere. A plum location too, with the extensive windows on the corner. Can't recommend it enough.

I stumbled upon this charming restaurant while walking down the street and was immediately drawn to it by the menu displayed outside, allowing you to check out the options before stepping in. It was a beautiful day, and we initially wanted to sit outside, but the patio was packed, so we opted to stay inside. The restaurant is quite intimate, with small tables, making it more suited for smaller parties. The food was excellent! We ordered the Shrimp and Grits, which were absolutely amazing—10/10! We also had the classic breakfast, which I'd highly recommend if you're not feeling too adventurous. The service was great; no complaints there. Definitely check out this restaurant if you're in the area!

Two frenchies walk into a French brunch bistro in Brooklyn, and oh la la what could possibly go wrong?! Le Pistol brunch in Brooklyn is a delightful mix of culinary excellence and cultural confusion. The food? Magnifique. The ambiance? Well, let's just say, they got some distinct French things wrong and some things very right. Firstly, the servers were way too friendly. In a true French restaurant, you expect a healthy dose of disdain with your meal. Secondly, the size of the orange juices was laughable. In France, you would get a size able OJ, but here, it was more like a shot glass. Paying $5 for half an orange seems excessive even for Brooklyn, especially as these oranges come from Orange County, they’re not even Champagne import (like us). The breakfast toasts were a curious affair. Served deconstructed, we were essentially tasked with sandwich assembly. Perhaps the kitchen staff were channeling their inner French by making us work for our meal. Halfway through our ‘petit’ toasts, we caved and ordered pancakes, hoping they'd arrive before dinner. To our relief, they were American-sized fluffy pancakes, a stark contrast to the expected deconstructed crepes. Overall, Le Pistol gets an A+ for food and an F for French authenticity—maybe minus the long wait for the food to arrive and being included in the labor of making brunch happen. So in that sense, a little taste of home. All blagues aside, Pistolet is a solid brunch option and <bah oui> who needs Paris when you've got Brooklyn?

Hospitality and engagement are missing...probably because they have local traffic.... food was good. They do not check back in until check is due....opportunities for being better hosts.

The service and ambience were great. It was crowded but the noise level wasn't bad (I hate noisy restaurants) and the wait staff couldn't have been friendlier. The food was good but not amazing. I had the grits with shrimp which was delicious but a tad too rich for my taste. Same for the biscuits with ox tail gravy (I think the word 'greasy' was tossed about). Compared to many restaurants, the prices were decent so overall, I would recommend.

An extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly environment for people of color. This might be the most unfriendly and rude bar in the neighborhood. As a black person dining here, I was made to feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. Will not be visiting this establishment again. In summary if you are not White, consider taking your support elsewhere in the neighborhood. These people do not like us.
