I absolutely love this spot! It all started with a cup of coffee… then I added the nutella banana bread… then a mocktail… and eventually, I hosted one of the most important events in my life here with 25 guests! When I say “these guys can do anything”- mean it :) There’s literally nothing to dislike about this place: the atmosphere is super chill with a real NYC vibe, the rooftop is open and breezy, the food and drinks are always delicious and the staff is incredibly polite and responsive. Of course on busy days the wait time can get a little longer but what do you expect? Everyone wants to be there :)
When we were planning the menu for our event, everything went so smoothly. The kitchen was even open to making dishes that weren’t on the regular menu which was so nice of them. I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate this place for all the days I sat at the bar, chilled on the rooftop or read a book in the sun with a cup of coffee. And I’ll always be grateful for the memories we made during our event. Huge thanks to the staff who helped make that day so special, cozy, funky and...
Read moreVenue looks quite nice, both the downstairs bar and the rooftop. (We sat on the rooftop for an evening.) Neat space but...the 'rooftop' is roofed-over and is the 3rd floor of the building, so there isn't a killer view. Same experience as a street-level beer garden. Place was nice, but it isn't a rooftop experience. ALL ordering upstairs is done via QR code at your table, there are no servers. It took about 20 minutes for my twelve dollar, 20 oz beer to come out, and when you order, you are prompted 18/20/25% tip? It's like, I'm sorry, tip for what exactly? I thought, gee, they really have you there, if you don't preemptively tip well, you won't get your drink fast...I tip acceptably and get the drink 20 minutes later anyway. I'd say, slow service, but it isn't "service" if it is just food runners. Menu was limited. Sandwich was ok, but not worth the price, fries were not very good. At this price point, if I just want beers and don't want to try to have a view, I'll go elsewhere in LIC, lots of options. The expectation of tipping for non-service...
Read moreOpening week, sat at the rooftop. On a cold or chilly day, best bring a sweater or jacket. The rooftop could use some heaters, or blankets if that's your thing, in the future for these kinds of days. Somewhat nice view of the Queensboro.
If you have been to their other location, it is similar at a larger scale. There are two floors with patio seating outside and on the rooftop. The first floor had picnic bench style seating. They also have merch to purchase at the to-go section. Great for groups of all sizes.
The service is getting their bearings, otherwise they are quick with the serving. The food menu at the moment seems limited. The POS system may need some tweaking or familiarizing. Some taps have pitcher options available at 64 oz. QR coded menu on every seating except for the bar, the bar will probably have them too in the future.
It's quite a walk from the subway stations, we were able to find parking on the same block. Might not be the same during peak hours
Would definitely come back here after everything has...
