Brooklynite
Showcasing premium spirits alongside house-made cordials, bitters, ginger beer and fresh squeezed juices. Craft cocktails offered at The Brooklynite are thoughtfully balanced, palate provoking, and unmercifully tasteful.
A variety of food trucks featured outside* the bar. Rotating on a nightly basis. Usually available after 8:00pm.
While we do not offer liquor bottle service, punch bowls with a spirit of your choice are available with prior arrangment. For information on any special requests please email info@thebrooklynitesa.com

"Excellent cocktails. Loved the Missionary the best! No food ordered. Waited over 15 before drink order taken. Short on staff but very friendly and knowledgeable. I would go back."

"Hannah, who greeted us at the front door, was warm and personable. Javi, our server, was terrific and patient with my friend, who was "particular". This place is for cocktail drinkers who want cocktails that are creative and delicious. The atmosphere is elegant and slightly funky. Fun, upscale bar."

"I found this bar when looking for a restaurant. There was an indication on the website that they have a menu. What they neglect to tell you is that it's the menu from the mobile coach parked at the curb just outside the front door. It's only a bar, not a restaurant. The ambience and decorations are eclectic and enjoyable for drinks. I would recommend that their website (or Open Table's reference) state clearly that no food is available, and that this is clearly a bar."

"My husband and I recently visited Brooklynite on our date night. The bar's atmosphere was fantastic. We were excited to order drinks off the menu and loved most of them.
My personal favorite was the Missionary.
I am hoping that the drink menu will either get a little longer, or will change periodically. I also would love to see a drink that features lavender!
The service was kind (although a tad slow). Fortunately everything else made up for that.
We were hoping to have more than one food truck outside, but it must have been a busy night elsewhere.
We absolutely plan on visiting Brooklynite again!"
