*Review by a cheesemonger* Loved it! I was looking for somewhere to replace my prior favourite, Murray's Cheese Bar, after a terribly disappointing experience there ever since they changed locations. This is a great spot and alternative to Murray's! They have a chalkboard of featured cheeses and meats and you can create your own platter. I did four for $27. I do wish they would give a little more cheese but the amount is what I was expecting, knowing how expensive cheese is. Everything tasted great, at least. The bartender/server (she was the only FOH staff on a Tuesday evening and was doing it all) was super friendly and quiete knowledgeable about the products as well. I really enjoyed everything I ordered and the accompaniments (fresh apple, dried fruits, nuts, toasted baguette and a jam) were great as well. Some of the bread was stale or just needed a bit more time in the oven to remove the moisture. Overall, had a really good experience and it was nice and quiet (but not too quiet), on a Tuesday anyway. Nice ambiance, very dark in the restaurant, soft music playing. I only ordered the cheese & meat and a drink so I can't speak to the other food. The seasonal sangria (rosemary rosé) was really delicious too! I'll be coming back next time I visit NYC :)

We used Tuffet as a venue for our wedding welcome party on a Friday night. We started with a partial buy-out for a casual rehearsal dinner and then did a full buy-out for the rest of the night for the rest of our guests. The space is great, everyone loved it. We really enjoyed the food and the people working there were super helpful and our friends and family enjoyed chatting with them. Alicia was very helpful getting the night set up. The venue is so flexible in how they arrange events. Everything was high quality and affordable!

Fun outdoor patio/garden. Nice long old style bar inside. They specialize in cheese and meat horderves also made some nice pizza too!

A nice quiet place with an amazing patio! Stopped by here a couple times between errands for a quick afternoon cocktail, and so far, everyone I’ve sampled has been amazing! Great vibe, the staff is really friendly. I’d definitely recommend stopping by here for a drink!

A nice little bar with backyard garden. Enjoy it

Incredible cocktails, great cheeseboards, the staff is DELIGHTFUL! We were there for a wedding and it was honestly a perfect evening. The patio is magical. Would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone!

Tuffet was the perfect location for our intimate "modern tropical" wedding in September. We were able to hire outside catering, bring our own cake, and have a DJ. There were some restrictions with the DJ (e.g. could not play past 11p outside), but all the restrictions were reasonable and made clear ahead of time. The backyard is beautiful. The string lights and greenery along the walls made for a very romantic atmosphere. More than anything, I am so grateful to Alicia and her staff for being so organized and on top of their game. Alicia is experienced at hosting events at Tuffet and worked with me and my wedding planner to accommodate our 87 guests for a ceremony, dinner, and dancing. The backyard space was flipped three times for each of those events at the wedding. Alicia helped us figure out seating arrangements, and was very helpful the day of the wedding by organizing and making sure things were running smoothly. Her staff were awesome and the bartenders even pitched in when one of our servers could not make it. Overall, highly recommend Tuffet for a wedding, or any event, really.

Beautiful bar! Amazing service! Adorable backyard, and sinfully delicious cheesy snacks, and always an interesting wine selection. I love this place

Good lighting. Good food. Good drinks keeps going full of surprises

I had an absolutely amazing time organizing my 30th birthday party at Tuffet! Alicia, Tyler, and the rest of the staff here were absolutely lovely to work with leading up to and during my event. I reserved the indoor back room along with several plates of food and some sangria pitchers, all of which was perfect to keep the party going for hours. Everyone loved the rest of the drink menu too and the cozy set up in the rest of the bar. I'll definitely be back, and highly recommend Tuffet for hosting events!

Great place for a small party very friendly and accommodating people and the food was good

This place is awesome! Casual bar with great drinks and a lovely bar tending staff. Tyler makes the best cocktails.

I attended a private party at Tuffet, using the back patio area on a beautiful sunny day. A nice variety of light food was served by the attentive staff. That neighborhood of Brooklyn is lively and diverse. Traffic on the highway to get there is challenging.

Tuffet was the perfect venue for a surprise birthday party! The food and drinks were delicious, and the backyard and private party room were so cute and cozy. There was plenty of space inside and outside for our whole group. The bartenders and staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I also had a great experience working with the owner to plan this event!

What a lovely spot. The backyard was perfect, the bar tender was extremely nice, the drinks were delicious and the food was great... Except for the artichoke dip, which needs some TLC... I would also make the cheese and charcuterie plate a little more than 2 pieces of cheese... But other than that we had an amazing time. And it was a real gem.

I love it here! Cocktails are well made, such a lovely ambience and garden

Perfectly lit, great selection of cocktails, beer & wine, and a lovely patio. Glad to have Tuffet in the neighborhood!

I come here when I want a peaceful time with delicious meats and cheeses and a Lil drank. Really nice choices all around

Nice staff & menu (great to see a vegan cheese on the list).

The coziest gem Great for summer or winter Slushies, Cheese Boards, Booze

If cheese and charcuterie are your thing, please please check this place out. Great selection, great recommendations. And if it’s not your thing, then go for the banana-bourbon slushees!

There’s nowhere in NYC like Tuffet. A dim, chill atmosphere when you just wanna hang after a long day. Or a beautiful outdoor oasis when you wanna catch up with friends. Oh, and they helped us throw the best engagement party ever!

I rented out the back patio at for a welcome reception before my wedding, and Alicia and the staff were amazing hosts. Fantastic food and slushies!

Sadly I dont have any great photos to show how charming the backyard was because I was having too much fun! (This was taken after during cleanup) Reserved the backyard for my boyfriends surprise party and it was absolutely perfect - mid november but still warm with the heat lamps and fireplace (and hot drinks!) - not too mention charming and fun - the perfect amount of space. Alicia the owner was SO helpful and communicative answering endless questions from me and working with my budget and helping me get pre-orders in for tasty platters etc so shout out to Alicia! Staff was friendly, sweet and helpful. Feel v lucky to have found this venue and will return to it again for fun and special events. 10/10 would recommend.

Very swanky decor and the menu is very expansive. Here last night for GNO/friend's bday and we had a good time. They had a DJ who played a good set and got everyone wanting to dance. At various points of the night, it got uncomfortably hot. Maybe some ventilation or AC would've been nice. Just saying.

Little gem with a beautiful garden area for private events. We had a nice engagement party. Very friendly, excellent service and perfect drinks.
