Banter Bar — Restaurant in New York

I was there yesterday for a game and ordered a bunch of drinks and food when all of a sudden I tried ordering 2 more drinks and the bartender asks me if I closed out already because he doesnt see my card. I told him no and he says well i dont see your name here and we dont have your card. I explained to him that I gave my card when I started ordering and I never closed it or got my card back. There should be no reason they dont have it. He simpy says we dont have your card are you sure you dont have it and forgot? Thats when I got upset and told him to keep looking and to ask the other bartenders. I couldnt believe he was trying to act as if I had the card and misplaced it. He starts looking around and they finally realize that one of the bartenders gave my card to another person and closed me out. Not only was this a huge inconvenience but to act as if I misplaced my card and trying to blame it on me was ridiculous! They gave me a half ass apology and simply said to write my number down and they'd call me if they happen to get my card back. Showing no sympathy whatsoever, not even offering to cover the rest of the night or at the very least offer shots or anything for the huge mix up they made. Will never go back there again! They need to learn to be more professional and somehow compensate the customer when they made such a...

I recently had my birthday at Banter. I first started going to banter to watch matches around two years ago and it’s definitely one of the best neutral bars in Brooklyn, largely in part due to the people it attracts! Everyone is friendly and excited without being too rowdy or rude. The staff is great as well, always working hard and happy to help. The food is also excellent—my boyfriend and I often stop in while we’re in the area to just grab a bite to eat.

When I started to plan my birthday party, I knew I would have a hard time finding a decent spot in Brooklyn on a Saturday night with enough space, a good atmosphere, and without a huge fee. I reached out to a bunch of places, but Banter immediately became the clear choice. Chris, who I believe is the owner, was fast to respond and let me reserve the back tables without any type of minimum spend or deposit. My friends all loved coming to check out the bar, the space was great, and it was the perfect option.

I love Banter for both sports and socializing and recommend it to anyone...

Up there as one of the best spots to watch football in Brooklyn. I messaged their Instagram ahead of time and asked if they were playing a certain match and got back quite quickly with a response which was a nice bonus. They have all the games on and partition the TV’s to play one major game on one side of the bar and the other games on the adjacent, I asked if I could have one of the French league games on and the barman got one of the smaller TV’s switched over to it for me which was cool. Service itself is really friendly, I keep getting the same guy every time I go on the Saturday afternoons and he’s really accommodating, there isn’t really a food menu except bar snacks but they do have 4 types of Sausages like Argentinian Chorizo or Bratwurst and they taste really good, but don’t expect a full...
