    By far one of the best places to visit in the neighborhood whether you’re looking for food, drinks, wings, or any type of sporting event. Allison and Jess are always on point as bartenders they keep us coming back! Eric the owner is an all around hands on owner who’s down to earth and keeps people wanting to come back. Do yourself a favor and get some wings and watch some sports here!

    Manager was pushing us to order more food or leave. We had a table of 7 and had ordered over $150 worth of food and drinks. Got Buffalo style wings and fries. Both were underwhelming, especially for the price. Most of the wait staff were extremely friendly, but we witnessed the manager yell at them for getting excited about the game.

    Clara’s is an awesome spot for beer, wings, quesadilla and some fried pickles on the side. Always solid food, better than average. Drinks are well priced but stick to the beer and simple mixed drinks - the cocktails aren’t the best. The vibe is great though, tons of seating, and they play sports when it’s on. Only gets crazy during big games, otherwise a relaxed spot to get some food and beers. Solid spot that’s in my rotation of local bars/food. They also deliver late!!

    This is one of our favorite bars in this neighborhood! Everyone here is so friendly and nice especially the owner Eric! We love to hang out here and having great company. Other than that, food here is AMAZING! We tried many items and they are all delicious! Chicken Sandwich is their signature dish. Wings are great. Yesterday we had the mussels on their special, mind brown. No wonder Clara's has a lot of regular customers. 5 stars from us!

    Best place in Bushwick for football games, basketball games, ufc matches, shooting pool, and drinking with friends. They have an awesome staff and their kitchen serves up some of my all time favorite chicken wings and quesadillas. And do NOT sleep on their steak.

    My girlfriend and I are visiting/staying with my cousins for the weekend and we were looking for a good time, and we ended up at Clara’s last night from about 9-11PM. 10/10 would absolutely go again. The wait staff was friendly and efficient , the bar staff was quick to get everyone what they needed, and the kitchen staff made my girlfriend and what might’ve been the BEST chicken sandwich we’ve ever had. Next time we’re in the area, Clara’s will be revisited for sure!

    Not only is the food good but the back room with big screen is fun for sports games and sometimes they’ll stream live concerts. Also a pool table! Recommend the wings, burgers and both chicken sandwiches. Good local spot.

    Amazing sports bar. Plenty of space and more importantly TV's. Including a couch/ projector area in the back. As a vegetarian, food is just ok. Staff is always attentive, always checking in, and doesn't leave you hanging

    Celebrated my birthday here last night. The owner and staff were great, and very generous! Location is good, atmosphere is nice and pricing is unmatched. The few times I've been here were each great nights. If you're in the area or looking for a bar with good eats I highly recommend. I will definitely be visiting again 🙌🏼

    An affordable drive bar. If you watch sports is great for that. The wings were so so. I'd go again.

  • 5/5 Abel J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great wings, good burger, fries were good but could've gave more portion. Very good sports atmosphere

  • 1/5 Travis r. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried to order for pickup against my better judgement since they have heinous yuppie prices. The male bar tender that took my call answered then immediately put me on a weird hold line and then hung up on me. I was already on the edge about paying so much for a mediocre burger and that real quenched it for me. Tried once to call back and it went straight to voicemail. Also if you go to this bar to drink you probably don’t have a personality. Are the bartenders such jerks because they have really boring yuppies yelling in their face all night? Probably, but that’s not my problem. Cheers.

    Horrendous service! We waited long (over 30 mins) for our ordered food and drinks and the server/bartender for the night did not acknowledge us or even apologize. When we decided to leave they didn’t even try to accommodate or inform us whether our order was even being made or not, just gave us back our card without apologizing. It seems as if they may have been understaffed but the bar was not that crowded to warrant this kind of service. I noticed everyone who had food and drinks were white. My friend and I are black. Please do not support this gentrified bar.

    Place is awesome. Great atmosphere for sports games. Solid bar food. And the employees work so hard. If there’s a big sports game going on and you wanna watch it in a cool environment. Go here

  • 5/5 Jordan d. 6 months ago on Google
    Best bar for pool and sports in Bushwick. The food is incredible too.

  • 5/5 Frank P. 1 year ago on Google
    Best sports bar in Brooklyn, and great food. The owner, Eric, has a heart of gold and is endlessly entertaining. This is the go-to destination for fun, drinks and sports in Bushwick.

  • 5/5 Hector B. 1 year ago on Google
    Different from all the local bars. The owner handpicks his employees. All are very fast, engaging and very good with cocktails. I am extremely comfortable there and always made to feel welcome.

  • 1/5 Jeffrey K. 11 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Absolutely horrible experience I will never be returning. Our group was seated for at least 15 mins without anyone coming to take our order, and the first person to come over is the owner telling us we need to pay him $20/person to watch a pay per view event they were showing. This was not communicated by the bouncer at the door or anyone else. Our group easily would have spent hundreds on food and drink over the course of the night but the owner expecting cash to cover his cable bill led us to leave immediately.

    Such a fun space, lots of room and games. Amazing service and genuinely kind workers. I never leave reviews but I felt the need to after this bar because it was so fun and the service was so great
