I went in here on the intuition that this place seemed more intresting than where we were headed and oh boy was I right. Cool atmosphere and being a hifi enthusiast my eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful vintage kenwood reciver (not just for show as it played the music all night). I was visibly excited and the bartender saw and we chatted about hifi for a while. Let's not forget the drinks though. Some of the best cocktails I have ever had that I wouldn't be surprised to pay twice as much for in Manhattan. Hell I've had glasses of beer that were more expensive than these cocktails. Never before have I had such a emotional/nostalgic reaction to a drink. It sounds silly but te smell and taste transported me into some great memories. In general Mark our bartender was extremely friendly and helpful making sure we enjoyed our drinks and offering recommendations, certainly much more than you'd think for the price. I couldn't recommend this place more!

This bar is extremely cute in Bushwick. The enclosed outside patio was my favorite space. The bar area has an amazing kitchen, Grilled Cheese Alley. Perfect bite to eat. However, the bartenders at the bar are extremely rude. He yelled at me to hand me my drink bc “there’s no table service”... they also keep reciting that the bar and kitchen are separate. Here’s how it works. If you want food, you need to check off the food choices and give it to the kitchen, make sure to write your table number, which is at the kitchen, take the number back to your table bc that’s your table number. Kitchen bill and bar bill are separate. Make sure to wait for your drinks at the bar while they are being made, or the bartender may yell.

  • Paige Diner

Had a lovely time at Hart Bar on a quiet Monday evening. We tried a number of the cocktails - all delicious, strong, and reasonably priced (esp during that 5-9pm nightly happy hour!). Once we got to drinking, we naturally wanted food. And how convenient is it that Grilled Cheese Alley is co-located in the bar? Just tried nacho bites and Mac n cheese. Both delicious! Will absolutely splurge for a vegan Reuben or something cheesy next time. Glad to find a warm, friendly, welcoming, and quality bar nearby. It took us a year to come in, but so glad we did. Looking forward to the patio in summer. Thanks Hart!

  • Woody Poulard

I had a really bad experience at this bad the other night. I waited pretty patiently at the bar for a good 30min while the bartender served everyone around me including people who just showed up before being served. Upon getting what I ordered and one of the beers was incorrect and when inlet 5he bartender know this, she made it out to be my fault. Lastly as she dropped the check in the bar, she told me to not order from her again......

  • Maddy Land

Unexpectedly a super cool spot for dancing. I expected this to just be a bar but then we went downstairs and there was a really cool space with awesome DJs playing. I loved the vibes here and there was the perfect amount of people. They also have a little window where you can order tacos late night inside! I will definitely be coming back here to see what other DJs they have.

  • Quent Chiofalo

Used to absolutely love it hear. Good prices, service and food. That was until recently, when I came back from work and saw them open at 2:30, with large crowds outside, people standing up, and without masks on. If you're going to be open at 2:30AM you have a responsibility to yourself and your employees and to your patrons, especially during a pandemic.

  • Matthew Flowers

Mad dope! Appreciate the bouncer. Good dude keeps the unruly in check at least in line where social distancing is difficult. Love the indoor outdoor part! Always less crowded. Drinks are strong and I don't need fancy. Thanks for allowing me to order my First 2nd and 3rd round cause nobody got time for the line that snakes around!

  • Oded Haker

One of my favorite locations, in, Bushwick to have a drink and chill. The place is perfect for a quiet night and during the weekend the vibes or so fun. I have been there yesterday (2/8) and the bartender was so awesome and friendly - she made my experience perfect - thank you. Really, really recommend spot. Go and have fun.

  • Rayane Achich

Really cool atmosphere. The outside is not super attractive, but once you step inside you will hear good music and drink good beers. What’s more: there’s often a band or comedians performing in the basement for a $10-15 cover. I don’t necessarily recommend elaborated cocktails.

  • DELETED USER Jannik Buddenberg

One of the coziest places in NYC. They have a cat called Charlie! He’s 10% of what makes the place great. I’d rate 5 stars even without Charlie. The Vieux Carré is amazing and the interior feels so homely. So recommended, and the patio is great year round.

  • christopher frost

Inside is decorated like Central Perk from Friends and lit to optimized the taking of selfies. If that's your thing, you will love it. Unheated covered patio offers an option for smokers, codes be damned. There is also a performance space downstairs.

  • John M

Fun little junction in Bushwick. By far the best place to meet up w friends and chill. Drinks are cheap as they should be, bartenders are fun and funny, the backyard is great but the basement venue is a hidden gem for live music by local artist

  • Joseph Ligotti

Great new hidden gem. Lots of space in an enclosed patio in front, intimate bar with mini-dance floor, and a bigger venue/dance floor in their basement. They did an awesome job setting this place up. GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.

  • Chris Rigsby

An absolute gem! Just moved in town and was looking for an after work friendly watering hole. Man did i find it. The people here are amazing and welcoming! Had an outstanding time! Thanks guys! Happy birthday bud …

  • Zhizn Vipa

I like this bar but I would like to grab owner’s attention to the way your female bartender appearance. If you did a great job with interior design why don’t do the same with the face of your bar? Thank you

  • Kenny Alvarez

Every time I pull up, iss big vibez. Bartenders always are courteous and the DJs make all the nights that they spin very memorable, Taj and Foley for sure. You will never be let down for a night at Hart.

  • Inna Kats

What a dope spot. It was a whole vibe from the minute we walked in. Bartender was dope, his musical taste was unique and just perfect. Felt like I was in another dimension, kinda like Burning Man.

  • Jason

Go see Mark on Monday’s and Wednesday’s. You will have a good time. You may even walk into him live mixing effects atop movies or whatever else he may be hiding up his sleeves (or lack thereof).

  • Julia “Jules” Weingarden

We were just walking down the street looking for a party and heard music coming from here really loud. We go in and it’s lit, everyone is having fun and enjoying the night. What a lovely space

  • I.K. T

Nice neighborhood bar with a comfortable atmosphere. The only bartender there who is great, though, is Vanessa, she makes you feel at home, understands hospitality and has a positive vibe.

  • Bárbara Gabrielle

The drinks are good, the place is nice and well decorated buttt… we are 2021 (almost 2022) and they just serve cocktails in plastic glasses. Not a place that I’m looking to support.

  • Enrique Diaz

I asked… can I get a last word with Mezcal? No we can’t Cool, can I get a Mezcal Margarita ? -Absolutely

Eden, Hart bar actually contains Eden. Beautiful bar, good cocktails. Interesting space with the garden out front. Didn't try the grilled cheese, that's for another day.

  • Trevor Levasseur

nice atmosphere. With a bar section, small dance floor, back section that is more tables, and a venue underground. Also had a pop up food place to order from.

  • David DeStefano

This place used to be great, but since Covid its unmanaged outside service has turned the neighborhood into a pit of plastic cups and intolerable loud music.

  • Philip Bradley

Great bar! Came to see a friend DJ in the basement and it was a great time. Love that they are supporting local talent and will definitely be back …

  • Caitlin Van Horn

I ordered delivery cocktails to send to my boyfriend for virtual date night–rave reviews, and the delivery was super speedy and communicative. Thank you!

  • Travis Fraser

The two diff floors of music was a cool vibe, just the leaking ceiling was a lil interesting seeing that it was rite below the upstairs bathrooms.

  • D Alexander

Great food, cute spot, bartenders were rude, extremely slow and messed up the orders a few times, seemed like they were high or drunk.

  • Elliot Guilbe

Crazy dope space with live performances downstairs, food in house that’s open late, and some of the best ppl u’ll ever meet ‍♂️ …

  • Michael Fuller

Sweet bar and music venue! The basement space is big enough for a solid show and the bartenders upstairs will take good care of you.

  • Pedro

Most welcome addition to the neighborhood. Very spacious yet cozy and intimate at the same time. Will be most definitely going back.

  • Ben Dover

1 star is too many. This bar is ghetto. Bad music with bad people..No rules what so ever. The security company the use sucks too.

  • matt cohen

Good atmosphere, well poured drinks, and live music, but the band had a cover and that killed my enthusiasm to go see them.

  • Jacely Brito

I love this place they have a great selection to eat from. Drinks were made perfect also covid safety measures in place.

Very cool bar, with unique drinks. The outdoor space is nice, but the basement is the best part. Great comedy weekly.

  • Olivia Nahmias
