All Night Skate — Restaurant in New York

I’ve been visiting All Night Skate for about three years now, but this recent experience made me seriously question the safety, cleanliness, and professionalism of this establishment.

While sitting and eating, a group of immature patrons began throwing things at one another across the space. One of their thrown items—a wallet—hit me in the shoulder. Shortly after, someone else from their group arrived carrying a dog inside a bookbag, which they eventually removed and placed behind me while I was still eating.

As someone with allergies, this immediately caused discomfort. I started rubbing my eyes and feeling irritation. Not only that, but they were petting and playing with the dog right next to where people were dining. Then it went further—they placed the dog on the dining table, which is completely unsanitary and unacceptable.

I attempted to discreetly get the attention of a male staff member (whose name I initially thought was “Jibby” "Jivvy" or “Jimmy”) to ask if dogs were even allowed inside, as I had never seen one during my three years of coming. Rather than approaching me discreetly, he spoke loudly across the space, making me feel exposed and uncomfortable. This was extremely unprofessional—and dangerous. If I had been in an emergency or trying to quietly ask for help, his behavior could’ve escalated things.

I decided to stop eating my food, as I was no longer comfortable continuing my meal with dog hair and germs potentially in the air and on surfaces. I told my mother I would pack the food up and give it to someone in need. When my mother approached the staff to ask questions about the dog being indoors, the same male employee told her he didn’t know the rules and that there was no manager on site—only him and a female coworker.

When I personally asked for his name so I could file a report, his coworker whispered to him not to tell me, and he then gave me a fake name—"John." That alone says a lot about their integrity.

After doing some research, I found out that All Night Skate does allow dogs indoors, but that does not excuse what happened. According to New York City Health Code Article 161.17, it is clearly stated:

“No live animal shall be kept, housed, or permitted in a food service establishment or in any other facility or premises where food is prepared, processed, or served to the public.”

Unless a special variance has been granted and health standards are followed, this is not allowed—especially putting a dog on a table where food is served. That’s not just unsanitary, it’s dangerous for people with allergies or health sensitivities.

If I’m unable to get a hold of management to properly address this situation, I will have no choice but to share the photos I took with the NYC Department of Health. This experience was not just unprofessional—it was unsanitary, careless, and completely avoidable. I’m speaking up so no one else has to go through this while trying to enjoy their...

Not an actual skating rink BUT my new fav bar in the area!

Vibes are 10/10 with something for everyone - a dance floor, arcade, ample booth seating on the upper and lower levels, and a wrap around porch. The drinks are unique, beautiful and made by kind, talented bartenders. I’ve tried a handful of items on the menu but strongly recommend the frozen piña colada and the cauliflower katsu curry. Prices are very reasonable for BK considering there’s almost never a cover and a different event or pop-up happening most nights. There’s also a good selection of free + rare arcade games!

The crowd is a diverse mix of folks in their 20s-30s and mostly queer. They have a lot of drag shows but their events feel welcoming of everyone.

Check it out! It’s rare to find a Brooklyn bar with this combination of good food + drinks / affordable / unique aesthetic / cool crowd / endless things to do and All Night Skate ticks...

All Nite Skate is a great and cool looking retro bar. Has seating and table on the second level. Their tacos and burritos are a must-have when dining there. Very delicious. The drinks are wonderful as well. I really liked the painkiller and this blackberry coder that they have. My friend was doing last Saturday, and my husband and I enjoyed his set. It was very disco and house which I enjoyed. People were dancing and having a great time. The bar also played Spirited Away and Akira on this little TV and vcr. They have pinball and claw machine in the back which is really cute. Lines for the bathroom do get crazy since there are only two bathrooms. I definitely recommend people to try this bar out. Not too far from the L Trai on Bushwick and Aberdeen Street. I believe you can also take the J and Z...
