This is a cozy place in the neighbourhood to have a few drinks, share some apps, and catch up with a friend. How do I know? Because that is exactly what I did here! :-)
The atmosphere feels very casual and welcoming and the service staff is attentive and efficient. We were the only ones sitting out on the patio that day and they constantly came by to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
We were in the mood to be chatty so we picked a few apps between us: popcorn with smoked paprika and manchego, chickpea frites, sweet hot chicken sliders, and the fries. I liked everything that we munched on. The creme brulee for dessert was a great choice and had that crust you'd expect with the mild custard pudding underneath.
I wasn't impressed with the caesar drink on the menu for the price ($12) but that is a minor issue to what was a overall satisfactory experience at the Brooklyn Tavern.
