Rusty Nail Brooklyn — Restaurant in New York

I was so excited to have a bar open up on Foster - it’s been a long time coming.

I just have to say, they should really figure out the lighting in there. The bar is backlit with these daylight style white lights that totally kill the vibes. It feels like prohibition meets the club?

Was surprised to see an orange wine on the menu and instantly regretted ordering it. It tasted like fermented apple juice. Chatted with the bartender about it, who in his defense was very receptive to feedback and honest abt the developing wine list. He very kindly offered to replace my drink free of charge.

Will def go back, am all for supporting...

While we did not get to try the food here the atmosphere for the outdoor seating was amazing. Games to play inside and music was on point. Shame the bartender would be one of the worst bartenders I have ever encounter. Rude, dismissive and aggressive. Asked for a beverage was told if I don’t see it we don’t have it. Simple no we don’t carry would have done just fine. She then proceeded to rush me to order while I was reviewing the options like I was instructed to do. Now I know why everyone...

So happy to have a local spot in the Foster/Newkirk area.

Huge selection of beers, including gluten-free! Food from Memphis Seoul was pretty good too, but would have been nice to be able to bring BBQ sauce back to the table, as the meat was a bit dry.

Bartender was super nice, knew a ton about beer, and the vibes got better as people started filling it up around 7pm on a Wednesday!

Their signature cocktail was great, too!...
