  • 5/5 Sankofa Tafari N. 2 years ago on Google • 227 reviews
    A friend of a friend is a serious beer aficionado, and I was instructed to meet them here at the Tradesman. It stopped raining about 4 or 5 minutes before I arrived, and that was awesome because you have to sit outside. We were the only people in there for about 5 minutes. My guess is that people were waiting on the rain to stop before arriving. I was advised to try a ale called Half Acre. I liked it, and it went with with my veggie meal. The counter people were nice and fast bringing your order. I’ll go there when I’m in bushwick. #nyc #brooklyn #ipa #kingofcoffeenyc #beer #ale

    It's a cozy place and the staff is really nice! The food was totally delicious, and the prices are good. The food took a lot of time to be prepared ( almost an hour for 3 dishes) so you need to be patient, but the wait is worth it!

    Good size patio and good happy hour specials - though you can’t really taste the tequila at all in the cucumber cup, it’s very refreshing!

    Great music. Friendly "fill in" staff. Awesome margarita. Casual man-bashing. All fun!

    I usually love this place but had a weird experience here last time. My boyfriend and I came in to get some drinks and it was fine, until one of the employees working behind the bar finished their shift. They sat down once finished, very obviously started doing drugs and started to make fun of my boyfriend and I, to my face. At first I thought they were just being overly familiar, but no they were making of us. I didn't get the employees name but they looked like a tall British Rocker, if that makes sense. Very bizarre experience.

    We were having a pleasant experience until the bill came. We paid but we did not include the tip on the card. We always give tips in cash because it is better for people. But the bartman started yelling at me, calling me poor, driving me out of the place in front of his friends. He was most unpleasant and rude. Honestly, I was left with the money in my hand and out of anger because he kept yelling at me. I don't know if he's the owner to do this, but it's not okay to yell at people.

    I have attended many karaoke nights at bars for years now. Lately I have not been able to find the vibe I'm looking for to feel comfortable. This place was the best in recent memory. The songs people picked were great. The people all seemed warm and friendly. I'm definitely going back there for that. In general the staff are chill and courteous. They had some cheap beer choices which is a plus when drinking on a budget. 😆. All in all it is a great bar to drink at.

    A cozy neighborhood bar, Tradesman attracts creative professionals, especially musicians from the nearby studios on Meserole Street. Weekend brunch includes a selection of regular favorites like challah French toast and rotating items based on fresh available local ingredients. The backyard is a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, and Happy Hour Sunday through Friday helps keep the booze affordable. Great selection of custom cocktails.

    Hosted a birthday party here and the tradesman was amazing, the bartenders were great, very attentive and made awesome drinks. They even let me play my own music. Everyone had the best evening, couldn’t recommend more!!

    I've been going to this bar for years. They always have great options for drinks, and now I bring my pet and sit in their outdoor space. If you're looking for a chill spot to grab a drink with friends and chat, this is it. 👌🏼 Ps. their mocktails are pretty great too!

    Took me six months to find this place despite living nearby, but boy when I did! Great patio space, and a solid selection on tap. The only thing this place is missing is a cat!

    This places SLAPS. During the summer it’s good, but during the winter they are GREAT. Delicious Jack Daniel Apple Ciders and tasty snacks and appetizers. Worth the trip

    I come here EVERY weekend. It’s my favorite spot in the city. The bartender is always kind and welcoming, the drinks are amazing, especially the hibiscus margarita. Also the music is great! I highly recommend this spot to everyone.
