Jalopy Tavern — Restaurant in New York

This place is a gem. I should know, it's my neighborhood bar, and I have been going there at least once a week since they opened about 10 years ago.

Staff is as friendly as can be, and are often musicians who play at the theater and in the bar (by the way, live music in the bar ever single night). If you're a regular like me, it's like family. Music playlist is always good, usually blues. TV is on with subtitles, and is usually a great old movie on TCM, unless it's time for Jeopardy!

Food is good, and prices are reasonable. It's a beer and whiskey place, but they mix popular cocktails, and have some decent wine too.

With all the new and trendy places in Brooklyn (I go to some of them too), we still come back here every Friday night. It's just comfortable and relaxing...

The burger was thick and juicy and came with the best fries I’ve had in a while. My daughter had the veggie empanada- listed as an appetizer but a very generous size so more of a meal. It comes covered with cheese so if you’re vegan you’ll need to ask to have it left off. The food was average priced for NYC ($12-18), good prices on drinks (about $18 for a vodka cranberry and two shirley temples). We had come to catch the music at the Jalopy Theatre next door after an earlier concert elsewhere so we were grateful the kitchen stayed open until 10:45. We enjoyed the band that was playing and the crowd was friendly. It was a bit challenging to get the attention of the bartenders, but thats to be expected on a busy Friday night and the service was good. Well worth the...

I love Jalopy Tavern. Way off the beaten path but totally worth coming. Jalopy Theatre and School are incredible as well and have amazing events catered around folk, bluegrass and world music with really unique performances. The tavern has free live incredible music that one should or could pay a lot of money to see based on the sheer talent. It's always a fun mix of people and love the dim lighting, reasonably priced drinks, quirky and helpful bartenders, and just a truly amazing place all around. Bravo! Wish I lived closer, if I did, I'd for sure...
