Bar Basic

Nice time with friends when we sat in the back garden for hours and had not even ordered very much. The pork taco and the shrimp taco were both very good. And the guacamole was loaded up but still excellent and very fresh tasting.

Love this place. Nice vibe, great staff (Kendall, upfront & @the bar) mixing up a wonderful gin special called the Slope Spritz! Yummy!!! They have a varied enough menu to get your eat on. As well the Spotify streamed music keeps your foot tapping for sure. Enjoy folks...

The service... such great, kind, & fun service. Good vibes all around, and they're gluten aware! I got the Buffalo wings - and personal fave - and they were great. But the service (particularly August 💛) just mage my whole experience great. Thank you! Will definitely be back when I'm in this part of bk!

Overall rating: 4.5 $7 margarita during happy hour. Sign me up! Very small spot that feels short staffed when I went during happy hour time. Oddly enough I saw someone working at the bar, but the odd part was there’s literally no space. I like the deal, but I don’t think I could come back solo. This is a spot you catch up with a friend on. Definitely want to come back again & try their food.

I ordered chicken noodle and tomato soup and it’s either canned soup reheated a poured in container or the person who made this soup hates their job. I wasted my money and I’ll never order food from here again. Don’t order the soups, just buy progressive in a can.

The signature cocktails and food was ok. We ordered appetizers and entrees and everything was brought out at the same time which is a no no. There was barely any room on the table and by the time we got to entree, it was no longer hot. The service was not good at all. The server was busy sitting at the bar on her phone and chatting with the bartender. I felt like I was bothering her to ask for water and napkins. This place needs to better manage the staff.

Pretty chill place with friendly staff. Just had a quick drink which I wished was punchier and less diluted. It’s a reliably cool spot though. Might try their food next time as reviews seem to be good. Love the airy space and the patio at the back.

Two years ago, me and my trivia league (shout out the Balls of Quincy Jones #rip) deleted this dig. Unfortunately, the fun trivia hostess with the disco ball earrings left. Without notifying anyone. After, some Australian lady replaced her and trivia was never the same. 3/5

Basically the best bar food around the neighborhood. Came with my partner on a Saturday afternoon and was told we can sit wherever - including the back since they have a patio. We sat inside but most of the people who came in after went out back so I'm sure it's also a good option. Bar Basic is a cute cozy well lit bar with good background music. Ordered guava and strawberry margaritas to start and start they did! They were yummy, strong, and came out super fast. For appetizers we shared the tomato Caesar salad and the wings - everything in the salad was fresh and crisp and the croutons are cut up so you don't have huge dry bread bits scraping the top of your mouth, which is really nice. The wings are beautifully marinated and fried to perfection. For entrées, we ordered burgers with the waffle fries and the caramelized onions on the burgers really stood out. The burgers were juicy and not heavily seasoned so it balances well with the onions. The waitresses were all very nice and friendly. Nothing basic about Bar Basic - pretty sure we're making this our regular neighborhood bar :)

Bar basic is anything but basic! It's the perfect local bar with great food! The place isn't that large but it's comfortable and the service is what you would expect from a bar. Always come here for the fish tacos but the shrimp po boy was delicious! I ordered it with a side of butternut squash soup and it did not disappoint! The waffle fries are also a must!

I think the first time we ate here, we got take out, and I remember the beef pho being not very good. Well we came here and sat down for the first time, finally. I got the tacos and my husband got the beef pho. He said it was really good, way better than the first time we got it where the noodles tasted like they were thrown in last minute and were still hard. The tacos I think were really good and a highlight. I ate all 3 and then felt like s**t after, but it was totally worth it. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth, and there were a lot of juice coming out. This is a popular spot for a lot of people to go to -- it's always crowded and there's always people on the patio with their kids and/or dogs. It's an all around cool place to hang out and get a drink. This is a place I would take visitors to if I still lived in that area.

We frequent bar basic pretty often and really enjoy it. They have trivia Wednesday nights and a really impressive happy hour. All of the food has been amazing and the staff is sweet. The service can take a little bit longer, but it's usually because they are so busy. Highly recommend this spot - especially on trivia night!

Great Tex mec food with updated twists. Loved my grilled corn & romaine salad, also tasted the kale quesadilla which was out of this world! Service was friendly and prompt. Atmosphere was a casual bar and a few tables, some in the back outside. There is a opening to the street which gives the place an open, airy feel to it. On seventh Ave in Brooklyn near a lot of other area neighborhood stores. Convenient street parking.

Nice divey bar with great drinks and bar food. We came in before going out to a local escape room a few blocks away and weren't disappointed with the quality drinks and food. Highly recommend the burgers and the drinks. Service is great turn bar tender was friendly and recommended some great cocktails. The bar seating is limited but there are plenty of small tables and bench seating. Overall it's a great bar with nice atmosphere. The decor is a bit all over the place from winter decorations to mistletoes everywhere. Very cozy.

The restaurant was very cute inside. We started with loaded nachos. I had the chicken enchilada. The beer selection was great. The service was decent. The food was good. Definitely a cute place in Park Slope.

Very casual quaint spot with a nice asthetic. There is bar seating and tables (for singles and larger parties up to eight ). The service was slow, and there was a large gap (about 20mins) between getting bar drinks and ordering food. The restaurant was filled however, so the slow service could have been a sign of busyness. The Christmas drink options are original and full of flavor, I recommend the "Quintini". The food is great for sharing. The standouts were the wings with its complimentary sauce. The Mac and cheese would have been even better without the croutons. The "cheese pull" when it first comes out is nice. The chicken sandwich is made of dark meat and was average. I have had more seasoned and flavorful sandwiches.

The restaurant has a lot of options for food - tacos, burgers, salads, pho, and sandwiches and there is beer on tap. Given there were so are many options, the food is average. I do wish the food was better but it is all right for a quick bite. They do have their own happy hours times which is another plus for the place. There aren't many bars so it has found its niche area. They have stuff on draft and wine.

Overall rating: 4.5 $7 margarita during happy hour. Sign me up! Very small spot that feels short staffed when I went during happy hour time. Oddly enough I saw someone working at the bar, but the odd part was there's literally no space. I like the deal, but I don't think I could come back solo.

Bar Basic is a fun neighborhood bar. No frills, just drinks, bar fare and personality. Service was great. We ordered a few rounds of drinks and split an appetizer and mains. Everything was tasty and the drinks were strong (as requested)! Can't wait to go back and try their happy hour!

How can you go wrong with a burger and fries? First, make the burger one step lower than pre-made at the supermarket. Then add a bucket of salt to the fries to make them INEDIBLE. This was a take out order and most of it went right in the garbage.

If you come here for anything come for the wings. The wings were one of the best I've had in Brooklyn. We ordered wings, fish tacos, the burger, nachos, and fish and chips. The wings were 10/10. The nachos were also really good 9/10. The burger was ok, not great, and the fries need work 7/10. The fish tacos were also ok, not great 6/10. The fish and chips were good, but the fries need work and that's half the dish 7/10. The fries weren't cooked well, tasted stale and unseasoned. Otherwise the fish and chips would've been an 8/10. There were a few things we tried to order and they either "didn't have", were "sold out", or "not available right now". So everything we ordered wasn't our first choice. The service was also not very good here. The food took longer than expected and the waitress was impossible to catch. The overall experience was good but not great. Not sure if I'd come back.

Bar Basic is the best I started going here over a year and half ago and it became my go to bar. The food and drinks are on point and the customer service is the best. Kayla was our bartender when we first started going there and now she's performs the last Tuesday of each month and I must say this young lady can sing!!!!! If you are in the Park Slope area check them out.

This bar was not that basic once you consider their food was tasty. While enjoying being outside and spaced away from others, I had a fish taco, al pastor taco, nachos and a churro dessert with ice cream. I felt the plates were filling for the price and actually tasted fresh and savory. I also had a mai tai and shots that were part of happy hour until 6pm. They kept me warm outside but I do see myself being cold with no heat lamps or plastic bubble. The staff was friendly and funny. Overall the bar was an easy going space with great food and drinks.

I came here years ago when it was a soft opening of a new Gnarly Eats location down from their main location (I written the soft opening review on the original Gnarly Eats review; it seem to be removed now). We had stumbled by chance and loved it. It was never on Yelp or on Google; so we weren't able to find it but knew it was around the neighborhood of Ramen Danbo & Banhmigos. It had cool artwork of Studio Ghilbi everywhere and awesome burgers. So, on 11/23 we decided to come and look for it as we really enjoyed this location. We yelped Banhmigos, parked and walked around looking. We found Bar Basic in the exact location and it still have some of the original artworks. It looked about the same layout but of course new decors. We were excited to try it anyways as it has burgers on the menu. I guess the soft opening failed and now Bar Basic took over. We ordered: Tater tots Fish & Chips jambalaya Very delish!~ Will come back again one day.

They have a nice back patio of outdoor seating as well as seating indoors, and have a good happy hour (starting 3pm). Great neighborhood spot.

I came here for an alumni event for my alma mater and had a great experience. Michael, the owner, took care of me since I have several severe food allergies and he went above and beyond (more than a lot of other restaurants have done for me) to accommodate me by modifying a few of the dishes so they were safe for me, including the tacos, burgers, and nachos. I was so impressed by the level of service and the staff's willingness to make me feel comfortable/enjoy my time there. The food was also delicious - I loved the tacos and nachos. I'm looking forward to returning again for dinner and appreciate that they are so allergy-friendly and conscientious of dietary restrictions.

Great bar for drinks and excellent bar food. In the warmer months they open up the front for a nice outdoorsy atmosphere. Good place to go have a couple casual drinks.

Great neighborhood spot! The drinks and food are excellent and the staff is really friendly. I had the kale and cheese quesadilla and would definitely order it again. Some of the drinks can be a little pricey, but overall I love this bar and I'll be back.

I had a pleasant experience with a meal served by a patient staff. The nachos was fine but almost too much eat in house

Cute Lil bar we stopped in to warm up in and use as a stop gap after walking n getting chilly in Prospect place. Very friendly cheerful service. Cute decor, nice atmosphere with wooden tables, pretty lights, and nice happy HR specials. Red wine for seven dollars and a mao tai cocktail for seven dollars. If I lived here it would be a local hangout for sure for me..super cute...nice vibe and pleasant atmosphere and music..

Love this place. It's one of my favorites. They have seasonal drinks. The hibiscus Margarita bad tequila n rum. It's pretty n potent! The burger is always good. There are vegan choices if burgers n salads. Equally good. The Guac is good. Fish tacos although small portion? Is good. They decorated the outside so charming w blue round lanterns. Next time I want to try the surf n turf burrito.

Cute street cafe. The veggie taco is one of their best items. Great happy hour specials on tacos and drafts.

Found it on DoorDash, and finally wasn't disappointed!! Chicken sandwich was bangin, as were the hand cut fries! Added bonus, they had some scallions sprinkled on top, and I added some shredded cheddar before popping em into the microwave for :30, just to heat up a tad. Also, they followed all my instructions for everything on the side! Coleslaw was good, and I added it into my sandwich. Squishy bun came perfectly grilled!

This was a great spot for a Friday night. Good food, good drinks, not too packed, decent price. The food portion was perfect, not a fry too much. I'd come back on a chill day for sure.

I am honestly blown away by this place. My sister and I were looking for a place for dinner and we stumbled across this place. We live in Boerum hill so we are often out and about. The food was OUTSTANDING. We got the tacos Al pastor and the grilled corn salad. I also ordered a skinny spicy margarita. Obsessed with this place and will be back.

I will preface this review with the fact that the food here is yummy. I've always been scared of being catfished whilst online dating. So I remain single. But never would I have imagined that I would be one day be catfished by a restaurant...twice. I live around the corner from Bar Basic. I've eaten there a few times. Always happy with the food but underwhelmed by the service and prices. Once the pandemic hit I turned to seamless as so many of us have. At one point tired of the usual stuff I searched for something new. Low and behold this new Butger joint opened up. I ordered the yummy looking although wallet damaging burger and was shocked when it arrived. The receipt was from Bar Basic. I chuckled and tipped my hat to their ingenuity. A quick online rebrand to keep a local business afloat. Good idea. A little misleading, but not super immoral. I would never have ordered from Bar Basic. I had tried their burger before and it wasn't for me. So they got me...and I was ok with it. But today they got me again. I was in a classic single dad bind and looking for a healthy dinner option for my daughter. I see a cool new salad place called Twisted Salads just opened up around the corner. I decided to walk up and check it out. And much to my surprise, it was Bar Basic...again. The salad was yummy, pricey but yummy. In conclusion, I have decided I am not fit for online dating nor am I fit for online eating. Actually, I'm not fit for online. If I can be catfished twice by a restaurant who knows what else I'm susceptible to! I just have to live off of Da Nona Rosa until I can figure out a better solution. P.S. Just had a great idea, next rebrand you HAVE TO name yourselves Catfish !

Came here after the Brooklyn Half Marathon on a Sunday with three other friends. The place was quite crowded but we were able to get a spot at the bar. The service was super slow, but this is because they were understaffed. The food was phenomenal. I had a spicy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries which were delicious. The chicken sandwich was way better than what you'd get at chick-fil-e (this is serious praise). I also had a flower power ipa which was great and tasted particularly good after running for a long time. Definitely a great neighborhood bar / restaurant. Would come back.

Fun neighborhood bar. Casual setup. Don't missed their trivia night. Grab some friends and enjoy a great time together

The service was good and the burger reminded me a bit of in and out. I have food allergies and they did a great job working around them.

Stumbled upon this place on an evening walk and decided to grab a bite. The place has sidewalk seating as well as a charming backyard. The food was great and so was the wait staff. Got the fish and piled pork tacos and shrimp poboy and everything was tasty. Great spot for a quick meal away from the bustle of the street.

Found this place on yelp when looking for something close to my friends place who I was staying with. I almost passed it on the street, but the vibe inside is hip and cozy. I sat at the bar because I was eating alone. I was greeted and given a happy hour menu. The menu seemed limited but was definitely affordable. I chose the elote, and two tacos, one carnitas and one al pastor. The food came out fast and was so delicious. The elote was a little bland but was cooked great and I still finished it. The tacos tasted fresh and authentic. The al pastor was my favorite definitely. I only had water but there are plenty of beer and wine choices and a full bar. Was definitely pleased with my experience here but coming back to Brooklyn, I'd probably choose to try somewhere new rather than stop here again.

Delicious tacos, nice chilled white wine/prosecco, friendly service! And full menu even during brunch. Can't wait to come back!

Cute little place that has great drinks and food. They allow you to make reservations for large parties so we did that and they set aside a great table for us. I love the decor inside and it can be a dark, intimate place for a date or a girls night out. The food was very yummy. I got the brisket burger and fries and it was delicious. It is definitely not a barbecue joint but the brisket was very decent! The drinks looked delicious and they had great choices for cocktails. The waiter was nice and on a weeknight, it does not get very crowded so they do not rush you to finish and go. We were there for nearly three hours without any words from the waiter. I would love to come back and try their drinks!

Walked in after work. Just wanted a drink and a burger. Everyone was really nice and kept me company as I drank my drink at the bar. The basic burger is enough. The double is way too much. Tots are epic!

Amazing Apple Cider Hot Toddy with the Cast iron max n cheese (I ask the waitress to add shrimp!). So cheesy, tasty breadcrumbs and the shrimp is cookies perfectly. 10/10 for me.

The food and drinks are great. 4 stars alone for that. We especially love the nachos which basically are a meal in itself. However, the service is extremely slow, disorganized, and not particularly friendly. We waited over 45 minutes just for our drinks with not so much as an acknowledgment of the delay. It took even longer for the kids meals to come out, and even longer to get the kids' drinks, which they had forgotten. I understand things get busy and backed up, but sounds like they need to increase kitchen, bar and server staffing.

who eats here? Slow slow service, over friendly staff: uncomfortable... Who takes 10 minutes to serve a bottled beer? *5 stars to chef , food was great but waiters aren't properly trained. Eat somewhere else guys.

2 friends and I went to Bar Basic for a late lunch on a Saturday and were immediately seated. Despite the unusual eating hour, Bar Basic was still pretty full. The atmosphere was chill and semi-lively (relaxing). It was a warm spring day, so they opened the front and it was the perfect feel. I hope to return to dine in their patio. Food Recs 1) Get their The Bird. It is super tender organic chicken fried in buttermilk. It was the best dish I ordered Other dish was good too, but The Bird stood out

I am always looking for new places with all natural or organic meat. I was so excited to try Bar basic after reading about the care they put into sourcing their meat. The fried chicken burger was so juicy and crispy. I swear it was one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I ever had. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and the wings had the perfect spice. I didn't love the tacos, they were just decent bar tacos. Definitely a new place worth checking out and please get the fried chicken burger!!

Stopped by here for a light bite and happy hour drink one evening while waiting to meet up with someone. It has a very convenient location right on 7th Ave. The first thing I noticed coming in was a sort of homey feeling and ambiance aided by the rough wood features and abundance of plants in the space. The selection on the happy hour menu was fine including a few simple cocktails such as the Mai Tai, as well as beer and wine. The prices were on par with any other nice city bar happy hour. I grabbed a beer but the draft selection was nothing too impressive or varied. Feeling hungry I decided to take a taco because it was something small and it was on the HH menu. Not thinking too much, I went for my favorite which is al pastor and was certainly excited to see that they did it with pineapple here. Ultimately, the pineapple would be just one of the major downfalls to the taco. The fruit was so overwhelmingly sweet it tasted like candy and the meat was absolutely not prepared in the al pastor style but rather something akin to a stewed or pulled pork. The savory parts of the taco were good but the rest was a let down. A perfectly adequate spot worth stopping for a basic HH drink.

Bar Basic is a basic bar restaurant. Has what is expected-salads, burgers, etc., and all delicious. Drinks fit the bill also. Recommend this place whenever you want good food, drink and friendly, inexpensive surroundings

Man I wish it was good, but sadly, it's faaaaaar from it. I've eaten here twice - both times the food was very subpar. On my first visit, one of the staff members got into a screaming fight with a customer. I've worked in restaurants and patronized plenty, but never in my life have I seen something like that. The man - a bartender or server I wasn't sure - called the customer names and threatened to hit him. It was so over the line and inappropriate. And I get it, customers can be a pain but...to threaten physical violence? Over a dinner order? Pretty inexcusable in my book. So that put a very sour taste in my mouth but everyone deserves a second chance so... The second visit was the one that clinched the deal for me. Not only was the food awful - soggy elote, dry tasteless tacos, bland appetizers - but the drinks were bad! It's pretty hard to screw up a cocktail but they did. I ordered a Paloma - very bitter, watery and full of pulp. So yeah, I won't be back here ever. If you're hungry and need kind, quick service, the Chinese place next door is lovely.

I like this place but their quality is a bit inconsistent. The unassembled bread for the chicken sandwich came moldy (or it was dropped on the floor??) that's a first...

Bar Basic is a neighborhood gem. I hosted my thirtieth birthday party on a Saturday night and they were so easy to communicate with (thanks Mike!) and very accommodating. I think we had way more people show up than anticipated and Bar Basic handled the crowd with grace. Drinks and food were delicious-especially loved the guacamole. Great ambience too, with warm lighting, fun wall decor, and music. Will definitely be back.

This place is the best! We hosted a reception for 50 people - great ambiance, delicious food, and warm service. Shout out to Mike, the manager, for accommodating all our requests and making sure the event was a success! Our guests raved about the food and drinks

So I'll give this place 4 stars because they are new. Very friendly and attentive staff. Homey decor. We ordered and got our mac and cheese poppers in about 10 minutes. But as soon as we started to eat them, our food came out. Every restaurant knows to wait for apps to be done before serving the main meal (or should.) our meal was great, but chicken and waffles came with half a waffle and a HUGE salad. Instead of salad, just do the whole waffle ! Also got the chicken sandwich which was great. Really stacked that it was too big to bite, I'd suggest- less chicken, less salad, lessen price, and a rectangular plate to make it look better ! Last, the waiter brought us the bill the SECOND we finished our last bite. Asked if we wanted anything else with the bill in his hand- that wasn't cool but the place is new So I'll give them a new place pass !!

It's a charming place. I didn't get a chance to try the cocktails or coffee, but the general tso-style wings were divine. Crispy, sticky, and just a hint of spicy like GTC is meant to be. I also tried the pesto cauliflower, which was quite a large portion. It could easily feed 2-3 people as an appetizer. My main criticism was I wish they were roasted rather than sauteed; cauliflower texture is less pleasant when wet. The restaurant is positively plastered with Miyazaki art and other general nerdery. It's adorable.
