- The best cocktails in Brooklyn. Amazing vibe for a date. $1 oyster happy hour. Get the absinthe colada or the Maison Jungle Bird with blackstrap rum. Or, just do a bartender's choice -- always great.

- One of the best cocktail bars in NYC! Amazing bartenders, fantastic cocktail menu, so many delicious options! And the oysters are top notch.
- Russell SinclairAugust 12, 2014The drinks list is 4 times the size of the menu. If you like absinthe, come here for drip or cocktails. Dollar oysters during happy hour also a winner.

- Jesse BagelsMarch 23, 2015Really outstanding menu. I got the winter salad, warm scallops, and the lobster roll - all were great. Started with oysters and bread (I recommend the East Beach Blonde!) Try their stout too.
- Kevin SkobacSeptember 15, 2014hard to get a seat but leave your number & find a drink somewhere else first. Then return for very knowledgeable bar tenders, expertly made cocktails, and delicious oysters, all in a relaxed setting.

- Anthony RogersApril 13, 2017Heaven! Can't wait to return. I love my oysters less than $1.50 and my drinks made with eye droppers. This place has the loveliest garden area in the back. Top notch!

- Eitan LidergotSeptember 1, 2014The oyster happy hour has a good selection. Gets busy fast. Not as awesome as it used to be. Took forever to get a table even at 4:30 pm on a Tuesday. Also took 10 minutes before they got us our 2 bee
- Simran JaisingJanuary 27, 2013romantic. aphrodisiac. milky absinthe--the st. george is flavorful yet not overpowering. try to steal a seat at the oyster bar and watch the pros shuck and sniff 100s of oysters/minute.
- Kevin VOctober 28, 2016Fresh and prime quality seafood at dinner time! Had 3x dozens of excellent oysters. The cocktails are impressive but go for the well curated list of white wines.
- Peter RSeptember 24, 2016Incredible cocktails. And re the oysters, unless you know the difference between a dozen types, ask the staff what a nice selection would be.
- Andrew LandryMay 9, 2015The cocktails here are insane. The Snakebite is insane and their Moscow Mule is the best I've had anywhere and is served in a copper mug.

- Adam MayAugust 29, 2016Oysters have gotten so popular that places are getting away with serving complete garbage as long as they are cheap. This is not one of them, best oysters in the city.
- JenDecember 20, 2013Don't be a doofus and try the absinthe menu! Go for the Imperial Opal! It is like a giant fancy absinthe slushie and you've never seen anything like it. Fantastic. Love Tenneyson absinthe!
- Andrew RossOctober 11, 2014Oysters and clams are great. Cocktails are also good, if a little precious in some cases. If you do eat here, avoid Brendan the server--he speaks far too quickly and comes off as smarmy.
- Ece CDecember 21, 2014It's a corner from New Orleans in Brooklyn. Absinthe cocktails and oysters are making a good couple, try to get there during the happy hour. Love this place.
- Erik DiehlMay 28, 2013Fantastic Drinks, Super Hipster, Great 20's Era Vibe that the Staff Obviously Has Respect for, Get the Creole Cocktail, Oysters looked good but we got there too late, Wear your Mustache

- Mike McBryanDecember 16, 2015Always packed but worth the wait (or make a rex on OpenTable). The bar most others in Williamsburg try to copy, but they do it without any pretentious and the drinks live up to the hype.
- Maya Jimenez 😬February 18, 2014Though the staff may seem pretentious and intimidating, they're very friendly and knowledgeable- ask them anything! The $1 oyster happy hour is a great way to feel classy.
- EvanJuly 7, 2013I've got a penchant for absinthe, and The Bachelor, served here, is my favorite vehicle for the spirit. Though the menu has expanded to include full courses, the oysters are still my #1.
