Brunch is so yummy! The main entrees are okay, but the sides-particularly the cheesy grits and bacon- are excellent. Only $5 for a plate of bacon too! What a deal! Will definitely be going back
I love eating at Alobar. It's my go to spot when I'm in a pinch and it never fails. Great food, many drinks to choose from and the ambiance is great to bring a date, loved one or friends. Read more
Debbie DaviesDecember 6, 2014Visiting an artist friend in LIC, we tried this place 1st time. The kitchen is serious about the food. Nice atmosphere for an intimate chat. Everything we ate taste good.
Dave SossonDecember 19, 2016Great entrees, whisky choices, and service! Jeff and Brian made sure we were very well taken care of with our large party. We'd come back again in a heartbeat. Cool neighborhood as well!
Michelle ChanAugust 23, 2013Great place to come for dinner or just drinks! Ambience is cozy and wait staff is friendly. Favorites were: Vernon smash cocktail, mushroom toast, and bone marrow! Crispy pork was divine as well!
Zhenya KhatsJanuary 10, 2016It is a wonderful place for a breakfast. I love their "Benny" sausage dish. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Well designed space. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
Ryan DeNardoNovember 14, 2014The maple bacon popcorn is a no-brainer. I had the Prime NY Strip, which is both delicious and deliciously-priced. Solid ambiance. Definitely coming back, probably with a pretty girl.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 3, 2014Try the cheeses - the smoked ricotta is amazing as are the pickled peaches. And at lunch, they have a $5 glass of gruener veltliner. Definitely one of my LIC faves!!!
TenantKing.comJune 20, 2014This place has a menu like you've never seen before! Between the Maple Bacon Popcorn and Vanilla Glazed Carrots, your stomach will be pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied.
Village VoiceFebruary 10, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Alobar to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest!
Stefanie DNovember 18, 2012this place is seriously delicious. fried chicken, baby back ribs and meat loaf all tasty. they put truffle salt on the fries, omg! wait staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.
RoJanuary 28, 2016GREAT FOOD. really impressed and surprised this place is not a whole lot busier. Excellent service and a really nice, affordable wine select
Whiskey Tuesdays: $8 drinks. "Barkeep's special" is a good choice. Not sure if it changes but tonight it included Red Stag and Jim Beam, among other things. Happy hour ends at 7 p.m.
Tian XieFebruary 28, 2015The pulled pork grits are a little too dry, but the much tipped mushroom toast is great and the popcorn is amazing.
Ailie ChangOctober 25, 2015The tips on here are spot on! Maple bacon popcorn. Pork Belly was delish! Brussels hash also a winner for a green.
We've lived in LIC for the past two years and had never been here. We missed out. Everything we had was awesome. Maple bacon popcorn is a must.
CompassMay 15, 2014The apothecary-inspired restaurant is beloved for French country-inspired gourmet like wild mushroom toast to the wildly popular maple bacon popcorn.
Unur ErdeneMarch 26, 2013They have schnitzel!! And it was delicious! For people who like to eat a lot get a side order of mashed potatoes, a perfect combination ;)
M Reilly-BrooksJune 19, 2016Brunch--Huevos rancheros, crispy grits and pork (with collards and poached egg), and the bloody Marys
The Wall Street JournalApril 5, 2012Recommended sandwiches include the popular duck confit "sloppy joe" with smoked ricotta, roasted garlic crostini, truffle, red wine onions and baby greens. Read more
Harry HassellOctober 8, 2012Duck confit Sloppy Joe and Salmon Benny were especially good, a were the goat cheese cheesecake and sticky toffee cake. Only weird things were the fishy-tasting, truffle-oiled fries.
The Maple Bacon Popcorn is very Sweet but tasty might want to leave it for dessert
Aaron BloomfieldMay 21, 2016Schnitzel was great especially with the pickled greens, and we loved the asparagus salad and mussels
Uber NYCNovember 28, 2013Offering free maple bacon popcorn with large plate at dinner or a free mimosa with a large plate at brunch during #QUEENSLOVESuberX, 11/29-12/1.- Came in on Saturday night ...Sat at the Bar ...Super Friendly Bartender very Helpful answering all my questions
Carbonara style Mac and cheese is good, but burger is still best. Fluffernutter for dessert is amazing! Beware: induces a food high ;)
Rory ParnessAugust 17, 2014Food is delicious but if you are a tall person, ask to sit at a round table or a tall bar table. The square tables will kill your knees!- The most AMAZING burger I've ever had... Battered bacon? YES please! Sloppy joe is ok, popcorn is good to try, bread pudding is good if you catch it made fresh.
I tried to take a picture of the Steak & Eggs to show y'all how good it is, but they disappeared too quickly. Just order it.
Yum! Nice brunch. Get the maple butter popcorn, the steak and eggs, and the peach cobbler
Scott LustigJuly 2, 2015Went with the small plates and really enjoyed the pork belly, gnocchi, and octopus.
Maxwell FoxmanDecember 25, 2014Among the many great things in this bar I have to mention the desserts... Absolutely fantastic.
_November 5, 2014Maple bacon popcorn and peanut butter French toast was worth trying. Everything else looks better than it actually taste.
Hands down best restaurant in LIC. Go for brunch, go for dinner, go for a cocktail. Love.
beth kJanuary 15, 2012Mac and cheese bolognese was bolognesy and delicious. Lamb fell off the bone. We are definitely ordering dessert.
Lynn Huynh-LukeSeptember 17, 2012The Kentucky fried apples... Wow!! Just delicious! Awesome place. Great service. Great food!- AVOID lunch! I dine here often and love it. However, the phrase "3 strikes you're out" rings true for horrible lunch service. It's always the same waiter/bartender, now dubbed moody mustache.
Wonderful staff, the food is incredible and even the freaking bathrooms are charming.
Zayed KhanAugust 11, 2013Pretty decent beer selection, good cocktails, and the best damn burger in LIC.
The menu rotates so I won't recommend a dish, but go here for brunch or whiskey. 🍳
