Bar Baserri

Came here for brunch and ended up ordering way more than planned. Everything was solid, but the pan con tomate with jamón was the standout — simple, flavorful, and honestly addictive. We saw other tables ordering it twice and totally understood why. The Spanish burger was juicy and filling, and the broken eggs were great for sharing. Nice atmosphere, good food, and a spot I’d happily bring friends to again.

The pan con tomate with jamón ibérico was outstanding—honestly as good as, if not better than what I’ve had in Spain. Perfect bread, spot-on tomato, and excellent jamón that wasn’t fatty at all. The pulpo with caper chimichurri was cooked perfectly, beautifully balanced, and served with delicious little potatoes. The steak with mushrooms was tender and cooked to perfection, and the tortilla de patatas was unexpectedly comforting and delicious. We also had the bacalao croquettes and scallops, so good! My kid had the French toast. It was beautiful and amazing—thick, topped with cream and strawberries. He loved it! We had churros with salted caramel sauce for desert. They were incredible, served in a fun twisted, cinnamon-roll style. The space itself is stunning, with gorgeous tile work and thoughtful details that truly feel like a tapas bar in Spain. Everything was spotless, and the service was phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and polished.

Bar Baserri is a hidden gem of a Spanish tavern in Brooklyn! Every detail—from the atmosphere to the food—is crafted with care, perfectly capturing the warmth and casual charm of a traditional Spanish tapas bar. 🥘 Standout Dishes (Tapas are the star!) · Creamy Scallops: Plump, beautifully seared scallops paired with a surprisingly sweet and fruity Peruvian chili sauce. An absolute must-order appetizer. · Pulpo con Caper Chimichurri: Tender octopus with a fresh, zesty Argentine chimichurri. Delicious! · Dorade a la Plancha: The server was right—this is a generous portion! Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sides truly shine: crispy Catalan spinach, Piquillo pepper sauce, and those giant Peruvian corn kernels create a wonderful mix of textures. · House Basque Cheesecake: The staff’s enthusiastic recommendation did not disappoint. Creamy, lightly caramelized, and simply perfect—a fantastic way to end the dinner. If you appreciate authentic Spanish food and a laid-back yet refined dining experience, you won’t be disappointed.

Very Pretty venue. The food was good. .we asked for the iberico ham that was $35 the host said he didn't have that but upcharged us for another one for $50. It was happy hour and when we ordered the house wine the host made a face. Service was certainly not Spanish style, its a shame as it was a pretty spot. The staff needs a road trip to Madrid

One of the better Spanish tapas experiences I’ve had in NYC. We started with Pan con Tomate + Jotas Jamón Ibérico, and it immediately set the tone for the night. The bread was toasted crisp with a nice char, rubbed with fresh tomato that was bright and refreshing, then topped with beautifully balanced Iberico ham. The fat was well distributed, savory without being heavy, with a subtle nutty finish — simple, classic, and executed properly. The Shishitos Peppers were blistered and glossy, mostly mild with the occasional spicy one that makes them fun to eat. Light, clean, and very easy to finish without realizing it. The Pulpo con Caper Chimichurri was another highlight. The octopus was grilled just right — charred on the outside, tender inside — never rubbery. The potatoes were soft and comforting, and the caper chimichurri added a bright, herbaceous acidity that lifted the smoky flavors. The biggest surprise of the night was the Prawns con Ajo Blanco. The prawns were tender without falling apart, but the real star was the ajo blanco underneath — a traditional almond-garlic cold soup made with Marcona almonds, white grapes, and garlic oil. Creamy, nutty, slightly acidic with a gentle heat. We ordered extra bread just to soak up every bit of the sauce. We finished with the Steak con Confit Shiitakes. The 5oz New York strip had good beef flavor, slightly chewy in parts, but the confit shiitakes were excellent — deeply savory and rich. The salsa asadera, with its smoky and roasted notes, tied everything together and paired very well with wine.

Perfect spot for a date in Williamsburg! Cozy vibes, beautiful lighting. Loved the creamy scallops with Aji Amarillo sauce, tender pulpo con caper chimichurri, and indulgent bone marrow. Ended the night with Manhattan skyline views🌃

An incredible Spanish-inspired gem! The Burger de España from brunch menu is a must-try—the crispy serrano and Mahon cheese elevate the burger to a whole new level. I also highly recommend the Prawns con ajo blanco; the combination of almond puree and white grapes is so refreshing and unique. Don't leave without trying the Croquetes! Great atmosphere and elevated flavors.

A fantastic tapas bar with an impressive wine selection and warm service. The shrimp, Arroz, and scallops were among the best I’ve had. The duck was cooked perfectly, and the pulpo with its special verde sauce was beautifully balanced. A must-visit for anyone who loves Northern Spanish foods!

Fabulous food and service. The tapas were top notch, rivaling nearly everything I've had in Spain. Perfect brunch spot, the ambiance captures the right vibe for spirited conversation, laughs and delicious eats. I will go back again....and again.

Really enjoyed this place. It feels casual but the food is thoughtful and well done. The pan con tomate with Iberico ham is a must -- simple ingredients but so good. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. We also had the Spanish burger and the chorizo sandwich, both hearty and satisfying. Portions are generous and perfect for sharing. Great spot for brunch, tapas, or a relaxed meal with friends. Would come back.

My friend and I walked passed this place and decided to try it out. Turns out we went at a great time as they have happy hour from 5-7pm! The HH also included some food! This visit was also during Thanksgiving weekend when Williamsburg emptied out and we received very attentive service. The interior is classic European bistro with proper mood lighting (gently dimmed). The food was fresh, tasty, and paired well with their house wine. We ordered a couple of snacks from the HH menu so I cannot speak for the main menu tapas selection.

Loved the small tapas and the unexpectedly good selection of Spanish wines. I must admit, I was never a fan of Spanish wines but this place really changed my mind, can't wait to try more varietals next time The service was amazing as well, very friendly and easy going, not too pushy but not absent as well. But the ambiance must be my favorite thing, I looove the interior design and the attention to details, you can tell they really care It's magical to experience what a well thought out space can do to you, I felt being transported in Spain Overall exceptional, can't wait to visit them soon with my friends

Honestly was pretty disappointing. The food is overpriced and the portions are tiny when they really don't need to be. For $22, they give you 3 small pieces of shrimp, which didn't taste fresh and were overcooked as well. Patatas bravas was also pretty mid, and if you're insane enough to splurge for the Iberico Jamon, for $50 USD you get a whopping 4 pieces. Straight robbery. I wish restaurants would have some self respect. If you're going to charge hefty prices, try and make it worth it for the customer.

I'm so sad to give only 3 stars to this place but the food was so underwhelming. I came during happy hour and got the pan con tomate (probably the best bite out of everything we ordered), patatas bravas (decent), tortilla de patatas (bad and $8 for a small piece when you can make a whole tortilla at home for half of the price) and croquetas de bacalao (very dry, they definitely need more bechamel). Also this last ones are not in the HH menu. I would say the best deal is the wine.

Barserri is a nice space to catch up with your friends or have an intimate evening with a date. Came during happy hour on an early Friday evening. It's cute, I enjoyed the house red. Service was pretty quick and super nice. I'd love to come back for dinner.

Had a Friday evening reservation for two and live around the area. I enjoyed some dishes more than others and some dishes felt pricey for what you get, but overall I think this is a nice addition to the neighborhood. Ambiance / service: casual rustic Spanish vibes. I think all the seating is on high tops. Front wall retracts which is nice in the summer. Would be great for a date night, happy hour with friends, or just a casual dinner, especially if you live around the area. Service was friendly and didn't feel rushed, but it was a bit scattered. Server didn't inform us upfront several items were sold out until we tried to order them, couldn't give us an answer when we asked how many dishes she recommended we get, etc. Food: it's tapas, so some items are quite small in size. Would recommend ordering at least 2+ portions for some of them if dining with more than 2-3 people. I ordered 8-9 dishes (some were duplicates and some very small portions) for 2 people and it was the right amount of food. -Pan Con Tomate: got it with the jamon. Comes with 4 square slices. Best thing we got. Crunchy bread, super flavorful. We ended up ordering 2 servings! -Patatas Bravas: standard. But good if you're in a potato mood. -Croquetes: comes with 2. Enjoyed. -Burrata Con Squash Blossom: I do not recommend. Something was off about this dish and we only took a bit and couldn't finish it. In theory it sounded delish but the flavors were VERY off. -Pulpo Con Caper Chimichurri: I really enjoyed this. Octopus is cut up already. Portion is a bit bigger. -Scallops: comes with 4. This was good, but price seems high because the scallops were quite small. Enjoyed the octopus much more. -Quesos. We ordered two different variety of cheeses. The cheese was delicious, but this also didn't seem worth the price. $7 isn't very expensive, but it comes with two very small slivers of cheese and no bread or even a cracker.

Has the vibes of a cute tapas place in Spain, but with Williamsburg pricing of course. Good variety of tapas and vermouth/wine, the overall menu leans a bit more seafood heavy but has a good selection of most of the popular Spanish tapas (patatas bravas, croquettes etc). Food was okay but not the best. The patatas bravas have the sauce on the side and they are a little saltier than I am used too, and potatoes a bit less crispy. The pork was a little bit on the drier side, but the raisin glaze on top was pretty good. The two seafood dishes were probably my favorites. The shrimp was nicely made and tasted delicious and the calamari, while a little cool, was still nice and crispy and had great flavor. Service feels a bit rushed, particularly by the bussers, our server was great. We kept getting asked if we were done with dishes (we had a full prawn still on one of the plates). A little too eager to clear the plates.

All fire, the beef dishes were probably the worst low key-- still good but the seafood tapas were superior. All sauces were kinda salty but I'm also hella sensitive to salt in general.

Bar Baserri is a true neighborhood gem. A warm, Basque-inspired pintxo bar with a wine list that clearly knows what it's doing. Thoughtful Spanish pours, proper vermut, and small plates that are simple, intentional, and craveable. The space feels intimate but lively--perfect for a casual glass or a long night at the bar. Unpretentious, soulful, and quietly excellent. Exactly the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.

Really yummy selection of tapas with delicious wine! I especially enjoyed the scallops & patatas bravas. My boyfriend and I were constantly checked on and they always made sure to refill our water which was a nice touch! The service is phenomenal and the servers are all super helpful, available, and approachable :). We were seated near the front so we got a lot of fresh air which was nice. I think all the seating options in the bar look ideal. Will be returning

The experience in this restaurant was amazing. Staff was so nice, well educated about the food that they are serving. All the food was very rich, flavorful. I recommend scallops and seafood rice. Also, scallop was so soft inside but crispy outside. Liked the texture so much. I ordered another plate to take back home.. and even after a day, still fresh and rich flavor. The mood was on spot as well dimmed, soft music. Vibe for nice wine and dinner.

bar baserri is so cute! good drinks, great bites & even better vibes! it really transports you to a in tapas spot in spain. perfect for a first date if you don't want to commit to a full dinner but want something a lil more than just drinks. if it's not going so hot, you could dip after grabbing a good cocktail or if it's going well, extend it into a full dinner - a win win if ya ask me! my faves were the freshly shaved ham, the steak, the croquetas, and the arroz - but if i had to choose, def recommend the arroz! it's paella-ish and packed with so much flavaaa! yommm

Great Spanish restaurant from one of the alums of Michelin-starred Casa Mono. If you want some jambon, a glass of wine, a small plate, sit at the bar and chill, or come with a date, this is the place for you. All the plates we tried were delicous. Service was tight, on par. Recommended highly, there's not a place quite like this in the neighborhood.

Everything was delicious, especially the arroz caldoso. Highly recommend the seafood dishes

So so bad. Horrendous. Insanely expensive, and horribly managed. Avoid at all costs. This place will close soon.

Absolutely loved Bar Baserri! The atmosphere is warm and lively, perfect for a casual night out or a cozy dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Every dish we tried was fresh and flavorful Patata bravas and Pulpo. You can tell they really care about quality and presentation. Great wine list too! Definitely a hidden gem worth coming back to.

The food was absolutely delicious. Paired with an immersive atmosphere and very attentive service, Bar Baserri nails the Spanish wine bar experience.

I was blown away with this place! The service and food was impeccable. The vibe of the restaurant was cozy and moody. I really enjoyed the prawns con ajo blanco as well as the bone marrow. Will definitely be coming back !

Stumbled upon this vibey restaurant by chance and had the best jamón and olive oil I've ever tasted (spread across three different dishes). This will be my secret date spot in Williamsburg from now.

Unfortunately our service at Bar Baserri was quite bad, and food and atmosphere could not make up for it. We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation (the team was nice about this and did apologize, but still a long wait for the table) and once we were seated, it took another 45 minutes to get a single drink. So we had to wait 1.5 hours after our reservation to have drinks. We had ordered pretty immediately after sitting down, and checked on our drinks with 3 different staff before our server finally came back and realized they forgot to put in the order. There was not a single apology for this taking so long, and frankly I felt that our server was pretty rude to us when we asked about this. Outside of things taking so long, there was no knowledge of the menu whatsoever, and the server was also visibly annoyed when we asked basic questions about the menu. The restaurant was fairly new so I understand there are going to be some kinks, but for the price of the food I would want our server to have some understanding of the menu and also for the team to want to makeup for a frankly awful wait time. The food was good but nothing special, atmosphere was nice, it just can't make up for the service. We did request to have a bottle of wine comped which they begrudgingly did, I would just expect a bit more hospitality in a restaurant that is upscale. I hope they figure it out and this was a one off experience, as outside of that it could be a good restaurant.

one of the best bar in Williamsburg, nice renovation, very good Spanish restaurant bar
