Good drinks and surprisingly great food for a pub! My pineapple ginger mocktail was a little on the sweet side, and that’s coming from me. Would recommend the smashburger and the dilly cocktail though!

Drinks, drinks, drinks!!!!! Deliciously crafted and made with love and high quality. The vibe is a vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let me tell you, their happy hour (on the weekend) is chef’s kiss — top picks include the White Negroni and the Baby Martini of the Day (bc who wouldn’t want a tiny martini to feel fancy?). Vibes are dark and cute, with a disco ball in both rooms. The staff is fast and friendly, making it the perfect spot, especially if you’re hitting the Brooklyn Museum before or after.

I originally stopped in for the vibe. It’s absolutely gorgeous inside and smells like palo Santo when you enter! However, the drinks keep me coming back. Everything I’ve had has been so delicious!! I have to come back and try the food.

This is my favorite bar in NYC. The vibe of the bar is disco 1920s witch. The atmosphere is friendly and calm. The bartenders are kind, energetic, and efficient. AND THE FOOD!!! Such a small kitchen for the most unexpected flavors (I recommend the Tuna & Toast). I couldn’t imagine a better bar! If you come to ONE bar in New York City or even ONE bar in Brooklyn, come here!

I literally searched just for a place with mocktails and this popped up as the best mocktails everrr. I just wanted to be clear outside and clear my thoughts. I ended up actually drinking a few cocktails. The bartender was very attentive as soon as I sat down he poured me a glass of water. The vibe was definitely there. It wasn’t super packed. I arrived at 12:10am ish. People were in and out. Some celebrating birthdays, Some stopping by for a night cap, some catching up with friends and others (me) drinking solo at the bar and writing in her journal. I enjoyed my short lived time here and the menu, music, vibe. For any occasion Altar seems to be the go to. I definitely will be back. I only came for a drink and a vibe but the menu definitely tempted me to get an appetizer. Chai Tai is strong but definitely a show stopper.

Looking forward to returning many times over- One of the best hideaways I've found in years. It's a non-descript storefront, save a small neon. Upon entry though, it's a really warm, cozy, and well-considered atmosphere. Melted candles, great lighting, comfy booth-style seating, quirky mural and awesome looking back bar; nothing overly silly or out of place. The drinks are solid and made by someone who appreciates a good cocktail. The food was good, better than most small bars (potatas bravos -sp), and happy hour is reasonable. Most importantly, the staff was very personable, attentive, and friendly. No spiels or pretense, just quality professionalism all around. I looks like they have a good spot for large groups on the other side of the bar as well. Though I didn't get to check into that space, it's good to know about. All in all, highly recommended! :)

Had a great time at Altar, got some quick bites and a couple of cocktails and a mocktail. The Nada Colada was more strawberry than coconut in my opinion but still quite tasty. The fried chicken was delicious and the restaurant made sure to remove the sesame seed topping from the dish. Seems like it would be a nice date spot with the lighting and ambience.

Was looking for a place to eat and saw there was a tapas place closeby. Wanted to check it out and was not disappointed at all. We walked in and was greeted by Troy who offered us many booths to choose to sit down. The place is nicely decorated and had some oldies playing in the background. Really nice atmosphere especially if you want to date. They even have a private room if needed as well. We sat down and ordered some wines to begin. We thennchose to order 4 plates of tapas. We started with the duck and and tuna. The duck had a nice grilled type of flavoring with figs, which was the 1st time I had this combo. Next, I went to the tuna tartar which was so fresh and flavorful. Troy thought it would be nice to order the sticky chicken. He was not wrong at all. Before the chicken arrived, we sampled the lobster roll which was not bad at all, then we dabbled with the boquerones (sardines) with a spicey bite but not overly spicy. It was really good. Troy checked in on us constantly to see if we were enjoying it, and we were!! Picked up a cote du Rhone wine and was feeling easy. The chicken arrived and was worth the wait. We had an excellent dining experience and looking forward to returning for the rest of the menu!!!

We come here kinda often, can’t believe we never left a review. This is such a complete bar. Snacks, great cocktails, friendly service… This time we stopped by before and after dinner at Chavelas. We had a bunch of drinks and we had fun. The bathroom is bigger than my 3bed apartment lmaaoooo

Absolutely immaculate vibes here. On top of that, the dirty martinis they craft here are truly amazing and my group agreed that those were the best martinis we've ever had. If you're looking for a cheaper option, draft beers were also priced quite reasonably. Definitely will be coming back here
