High Dive — Restaurant in New York

Call me old fashioned, but I really love Old Fashioned's. So when my good friend texted me saying this bar had some of the best Old Fashioned's he'd ever had, I knew I had to make a trip to Park Slope and find out.

As a bar, High Dive checks off all the quintessential necessities that I look for: low light, solid music (often eclectic), a committed and regular crowd, space to move around and a free popcorn popper (!) Having sidled up to the bar, I was given pause in my quest for great Old Fashioned's when I saw the list of beers that they had on tap. Covering the entire gamut from pale ales to hearty stouts, it was everything I could stop from audibleing into a glass of hoppy goodness. Undeterred, I ordered my Old Fashioned (bourbon not whisky) and watched as the bartender got to work. Every step looked to be done with care and the final product showed - a delicious, balanced drink with a fresh orange peel and a chunky ice cube, aka...

Worst bartender, a guy with gray hair and beard was extremely rude. I went out with my girlfriend and her friend and gave the bartender my card for drinks. The leader in the night my girlfriend wants to buy the next round of drinks. I told her go ahead if you like to just don’t tip the bartender because my card is back there and I’ll tip the bartender at the end of the night. She went to go purchase drinks and she didn’t even order with the guy bartender, the woman bartender made the drinks and my girlfriend paid for the drinks with women and and he realized she didn’t tip screamed out saying thank you for not tipping embarrassing her. I went up to him . He said we need to teach these Europeans to tip or they have to leave and due to the fact of her not tipping, he tried to stop us from ordering more drinks Told us, we...

First time, Place is nice, however bartender (Red hair, long mohawk in a pony tail) had no idea What she’s doing, not rude at all but definitely careless. My bf asked her for a ginger ale and whiskey and a menu cocktail for me and she had no idea how to make the menu cocktail, he asked her for another menu cocktail and again she had no idea how to make it. I went up to the bar and I asked what she actually had and completely ignored me only interacted with my bf (NOT inappropriate at all either just blank face careless attitude) At the end I got something that tasted like seltzer and lemon juice and a the other drink was just plain ginger ale. If you are looking for really good drinks just go to the bar next door. This place is not worth it at all. I give it 2 stars for the vibe and set up, it’s nice!...
