Minnie's Bar — Restaurant in New York

I had a night in Brooklyn (Sunset Park) because I wanted to be closer to JFK for a flight the next morning. I booked my hotel based on pics not knowing anything about the neighborhood. Well you get what you pay for…haha. The neighborhood is gritty to say the least. Filled with little deli bodegas and ethnic restaurants of all kinds. I was lucky that my hotel was close to what seemingly was the only “normal dive bar” around. I really had a wonderful time at Minnies. WillyWorld was pretty whiskey’d up as I didn’t get there until after 9pm (I think). The music was good and the bartender quick to get you a freshie. Drinks were cheap and the crowd was cool. Gosh the only issue I had was getting up to make that damd flight...

Minnie’s Bar is such a hidden gem in Brooklyn! The vibe is always so chill and welcoming, and you can tell the owners really put effort into creating a safe, inclusive space for everyone. Whenever I’m there, it always feels like the right place to be.

The drinks are amazing – super creative and well-made, with something for everyone, (Ps: the castle & key gin and tonic is the best gin cocktail I’ve ever had) Plus, the pinball games they have are a great touch and make it even more fun. The back patio is a bonus.

Honestly, Minnie’s has become one of my go-to spots in the neighborhood. Great people, great drinks, and a really good time every visit....

A cute queerish bar. I’ve meet a lot of really sweet people here. The bartenders put up with zero nonsense when it comes to making sure customers (esp GLBTQIA+) feel safe. Open till 4AM! They have food and sometimes a a pop up in the kitchen. Big patron out back with a cool Colombian game called Sapo. Pinball and games in the back room. Saturday there is karaoke, once a month there is a sweet movie night. Trivia on Wednesdays, dance party monthly (?) on Friday. Thursdays/Fridays seem to be the queerest nights. Oh, and there’s ALWAYS toilet paper in...
