The Rum Bar BK — Restaurant in New York

Rum Bar Bk is a Black-Woman Owned Establishment on Franklin Ave in Broolyn, NY.

The "Rum Rediscovered" Event was held here recently & it was hosted by Privateer Rum's VP of Brand & Trade Development Shannon Mustipher. During this "tasting" she provided educational information around Rum. We tried several dark rum selections & a light rum while learning about its history. The role that Rum has had in cocktail creation as well as rum as rum development & production were discussed..it ws cool to learn about Rum and it's deep/ rich history.

Once the event ended, Owner Garnett delared that the bar is now open for cocktail purchases. The DJ played a medley of Socca and Reggae. Rum Bar BK has a quaint indoor seating area as well as cozy backyard outdoor patio area. Garnett mentioned that all of the beautiful artwork in the place is from Cuba. The Bartender made good cocktails & the Bar had overall good vibes. Rum Bar BK has DJ's play during TGIF - ecery Friday from 7pm - late & on Vinyl...

Had no idea this place on prime Franklin Ave had food and a cute backyard!!! We stopped by for drinks, pregaming for Ras (which also has good drinks) and was pleasantly surprised. While waiting for drinks, someone told me to try their food next time. I had this place in my list for a while since it took over Domo Taco. This past Saturday when it was 80 degrees, we had ourselves a time with Burna Boy chunes on blast, windows wide open to the streets, and people vibing even at 5-6p. It seemed like a diverse crowd, struck up conversations with friendly people seated next to me while waiting for our drinks. The bartenders put extra care and labor into drinks, which is why it took a while but totally reasonable. Soufriere painkiller was great. The other drink we had was a grapefruit spritz, forgot the name, but that surprisingly ended up being our favorite. You must add this place to your list of...

Similar to another reviewer, I really want to love this place but the service here is so slow to the point where it’s off putting.

In terms of drinks, I ordered the crop over which was really delicious. I enjoyed the music which was reggae and soca. This place has a lot of potential.

The reason this place doesn’t more than 3 stars has to do with the lack of staff and the long wait for a drink. A crowd was starting to form and I felt bad for the one bartender. BUT it was a Saturday afternoon during a 3 day weekend. Not sure why they weren’t prepared but it was disappointing. Honestly, they need to decrease their drink special menu since they’re all really complicated.

Overall, if they hired another bartender, I’d be willing to go back. However just know you will be waiting at least 15 mins to...
