Updated review 06/08/22 I met with Joshua from Lover’s Rock today. We had been emailing and he let me know that they had recovered our gift. Awesome! I didn’t expect it to be recovered. Joshua, thank you so much! Thank you for taking time to meet today, for the heartfelt apology and your swift action. The neighborhood appreciates you! Hope to visit again soon. 06/06/22 My wife and I were there on Sunday night. We had just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. One of our gifts (a boxed bottle in a gift bag) was confiscated by security and they said it would be at the bar when we left. It was not. I’m hoping it showed up in the lost and found and it was not stolen by Chris. You have a great place, happy to see you guys made it through the pandemic and have great bartenders, djs and vibe. We’ve been there many times and have always had fun. We had fun that night! Your security that night was unprofessional, unorganized and one had been drinking on the job. He got close enough to me that I could smell it on his breath. He also put his hands on me. I was polite and calm, even after he touched me. If we can recover our boxed bottle in a gift bag, that would be great. At the very least, please hire responsible and organized security for your events in the future. Chris drinks on the job, is unnecessarily aggressive, and the short woman at the door covers for him and is not a problem solver she actually escalated a simple situation.

Lovers Rock on a Friday night is awesome. Definitely advise all to get there early to avoid the lines. But once inside, the chill vibes, friendly people and great drink prices make this a great spot to party the night away in true Caribbean fashion. The mixed crowd and bonus backyard area make it a hit.

Great vibe, unfortunately there was no security check and no security in the establishment. Place was overcrowded and the AC was not working. Wouldn’t recommend this place. Also it was hard to get a drink from the bar due to the server not being attentive. There’s also about 15-20 people standing outside the establishment. Would suggest ownership to look into these concerns. Over crowded establishment, plus heat being of an issue, as well as no security or security check. It just spells trouble.

The city's back!!!! Been here few times before COVID and most recently just last week. Get the Painkiller and rum punch. Expect a small wait starting 9pm on weekends, longer if you come after 10. The highlight of our night was watching the rather dapper bouncer maintain crowd control among a long line of eager patrons . Fun place to bring friends, nice outdoor covered patio with a handful of picnic tables. Small indoor dance floor space, good music. More of a soca feter than dancehall but it's all good. Vibes are de best, this is a neighborhood institution.

Great atmosphere and music. Rum punch was good and strong. Very sparse food menu (mainly patties) so didn’t order food.

I DO NOT recommend anyone patronize this establishment. One bartender (dude wearing glasses) with his disgusting attitude and horrible service ruined my vibe for the night. I got there at 9:15pm 9/10/21 and decide to have a drink while waiting on my friend to arrive. So I went to the bar which was not that busy. There were 2 people on the side where where he was serving. I waited patiently until he finished serving them their orders. After they left I'm the only one standing there. He didn't even once look up to acknowledge me. Then the DJ called him over and he made a drink for the DJ. As he's doing that, more people walked up to the bar, then he serves one of them so I started waving my had at him which he ignores. He then serves the young lady that was behind that guy. At this point I verbalized my frustration by shouting "HEY! IM NOT INVISIBLE!" to which he replied "no, you're not invisible" then mumbled something about Brooklyn. I couldn't hear what he said exactly, but I stood there for a couple minutes then decided that this establishment will not receive a single cent of my money. And I hope his superiors read this. His attitude is very horrible.

Kirin + Shot = underrated neighborhood deal. The staff are fantastic and personable too. Try the Painkiller. Much love

I love this place, but some of the bartenders are trash 🗑🐾💩 🪰 (one particularly young, dumb female). No customer service. In tail end of a global pandemic, cleanliness is VITAL. The bar shouldn't feel like it was wiped down with molasses. They dont wash their hands often, then fix their hair/make-up in between customers 🤢🤮 I didn't let the bad vibes ruin my time, but we would've stayed longer and bought more drinks if the bartender wasn't such a 🐕🐶🐩. Everyone is entitled to sh!tty days, but a professional leaves it at the door. I held off on writing a review because I wanted to see if it was a one-time issue, but she always has an attitude and can't answer basic questions about the bar/menu. 5 stars for ambiance, music, decor, black owned business 1 star for customer service

This is a little gem in Bed-Stuy. I love that it has outdoor space where smoking is allowed. The vibe is real irie and attracts a diverse crowd. Every one around us seemed to be having a good time, whether it was outside enjoying conversation or inside dancing to the great mix of Caribbean and African music. On the weekends there’s a cover after 10pm. It’s a tight space and gets super crowded inside…but no one seemed to mind. I’ve been there 3 times.

Such a great vibe. A safe space for ppl of color. The back patio is clutch. The drinks are strong and tasty. Music is on point.

I love this place but honestly they need more bartenders, I have to wait at least 30 minutes or more just to get a drink. Missed half of my date just waiting for drink on a Friday night which shouldn't be an excuse. Just have more bartenders on Fridays.

We've been going for a few years now and it's always been so much fun with really good cocktails and great music. Always a great night out when we go there.

I was visiting from Chicago. A friend suggested we go there. I loved the vibe and the drinks were nice as well. The color scheme gave island vibes. I’d come back here in the summer time. Seems like it would be a good time.

I love this place! It has a cool backyard with chairs and tables which is nice (when the weather permits). You can bring your drinks back there and chop it up with friends until 12:00am. The music is always amazing if you love Caribbean music (with the occasional Afrobeats - More of this would be great 😉). It's a small spot with big vibes! Definitely worth checking out on a Friday or Saturday night.

This is my first time leaving a review on an establishment. That’s how amazing of a spot Lovers Rock is. I enjoyed the music, aura, drinks, and beef Pattie’s. Crowd was great as well.

Great Caribbean bar...I suggest their rum punch. The lighting plus the music plus alcohol will make you feel like you're in a club. Reasonable prices and all around friendly staff

Nice atmosphere, good beer and Jamaican drinks. Shout out to the bartender girl, who I failed to remember her name. One love!

Fantastic cocktails, rum and tequila based especially. Live DJs Beautiful outdoor space. Good vibes only

Went for my birthday afterparty and to say I had a blast is an understatement. It was hands down my best Jamaican experience in the US yet. Can't wait to go back!

Lovers Rock has been on my list since I moved to BK 5 years ago and stayed there even when I left. And for good reason, the energy is amazing and the drinks are even better and the music tops it all off. Everyone was enjoying themselves and I’ll definitely be back.

A pretty good spot nice music especially if you have old school reggae and dancehall you will definitely like it

a place to go to have fun and distract the mind. I had never been there and I liked the atmosphere, and what I liked the most was that yes they could ID and yes they check at the entrance they take their precautions so if you want to have a pleasant time and enjoy yourselves I recommend them

Weird vibe, undrinkable cocktails. Old limes in the drink, bad flavors… been a long time since I left a cocktail half-drunk

Nice spot. Good vibes, good drinks and great music. Dame is the best bartender in NYC

Love the vibes in there. Music, the drinks are great. Not too expensive to get in.

Was here Friday night, It's not a place to dance, but it's definitely a spot to hear a tune and have a drink.....the bartender is cute and the drinks are good

The place is chilled, laid back the dj was on point, but the drinks 🍸 they need to be worked on, a few of us in my group were disappointed.

Cool little bar it has an outdoor area in the back if you smoke or just want to hang out and drink I hear from people that's been coming to this bar for a long time they liked the way it was when it 1st opened up to me is not that bad

Good vibe and super friendly bartenders. Chill music and a great backyard. Tasty Jamaican drinks. One of my favorite neighborhood spots.

You allow your patrons to party and leave trash all over the block and then never clean up the filthy mess in front of your place when you leave for the night! You’re horrible neighbors and we’re never patronizing you again…I wish I could post photos of the filthy mess covering your entire block today !!! Ugh!

I went there for an event. I didn't stay long but the music was cool. I will probably visit this place again.

This is the painkiller. It's great drink, very tropical. Great for chatting on a Saturday night or by the beach..

I literally landed from MoBay, Jamaica and Stop here while I had a overnight 14hrs layover! Enjoyed the drinks, the people, and music!! Vibes 🔥🔥🇧🇿🎬 Highly Recommend!!

Very nice chill vibes. Veggies patties were great. And I enjoyed the rum tasting.

Just moved to the neighborhood and was excited to try this bar. However, the music was so loud I could not even hear my friends talk. Overcrowded as well. Atmosphere was off for me so will try another place.
