Bushwick Public House

9 out of 10 times I have come here there is drama, fights, or blatantly belligerent people. As a bar I guess that's okay, as a coffee shop it's the reason I've stopped going here. I've been yelled at, I've been threatened, and I'm a quiet guy just trying to get a latte and a pastry. Each time this place closes down due to one issue or another I come back expecting a change. It's a shame really, the staff here is stellar and does an amazing job while putting up with a seriously irritating crowd. I will not be coming back, there are at least three coffee shops around here that don't cater to belligerent drunks and loud crazy people.

Great place to do work on your laptop and need wifi while enjoying a cup of coffee. The baristas are very knowledgeable in their recommendations and allowed me to taste test drinks when deciding on a purchase. I tried the draft latte and it was amazing!

Very cozy cafe with a bar. Has fast WiFi and is open till late. The bartenders are chill and friendly. There's also a pool table and some couches. Fun wall paintings around. Bathroom present. Free lemon water. Great place to get work done.

This place actually sucks so bad. There was a local show here the 12th of november and they didn’t allow re-entry for ppl under 21 so basically everyone lost their money. The bands stopped playing and the show was relocated. y’all stole ten bucks right outta my pantaloons.

Got a beer and cocktail here after work. It’s got a chill atmosphere and “hip” esthetic. Cocktails were good but on the smaller side. They also have a pool table and other games. You can play classic games on their raspberry pi classic game simulator. It has the Super Nintendo remotes which is fun. Over I’d go back. Sorry for the blurry photos. Screen captures from the one video I took there.

I came here with my friend Liv on my birthday. Long story short, I’ve been playing pool recreationally for six years now. Needless to say, I’ve played hundreds of games across the country and have slowly developed my billiards capabilities naturally over time. When I found out that Bushwick Public House had a pool table I was incredibly thrilled. Long story short, they have a smaller table and a wide variety of pool cues to choose from. My friend Liv was visiting from Philly and, long story short, we were in for the game of a lifetime. I ordered a small black coffee and she ordered an oat milk latte. We sipped our drinks slowly as we played. Long story short, I started out in the lead, knocking in two solids to open up the game. Unfortunately, my turn ended when I accidentally pocketed one of her balls. She then proceeded to deliver a series of devastating blows and shot 5 of the stripes in, leaving only one of her balls left. The custodian mopping nearby was highly impressed by her precision and laser-like accuracy and a crowd began to form around the table to cheer her on. My next moves were critical and I played as defensively as possible, ensuring that she was unable to knock her last ball in. Over the next few turns, I was able to equalize and we were neck and neck with only the 8 ball left. However, long story short, Liv was on fire that day and I knew that if I gave her any opportunity to win the game she would. The 8 ball was in the middle of the table and I called for a bounce shot to ensure that I wouldn’t scratch and lose the game. I missed. Liv was up now and the crowd began to chant her name. She walked up to the table, looked me dead in the eyes, and said “Joe, it’s time to go home.” She leaned down on the table with calm, unwavering focus as if nothing was going on around her. Just her and the pool table. Seconds felt like light years. Then… it happened: what we now call “The Pool Shot That Could Be Heard Around The World.” I’ve never seen a cue ball roll smoother on green felt before; the ball looked like a spry arctic wolf prowling on professionally mowed, stadium regulation grass. I felt the force of the balls colliding as I stood just feet away — the momentum of one ball hitting the next, the beauty of kinetic energy — forms of mass reaching for each other like magnets as the nature of gravity brings them together for a single moment only to then push them farther apart. My brain exploded and I soiled my pants. I felt a tear falling down my cheek as I came to the realization that I was milliseconds away from losing the game. The 8 ball vanished into the pocket never to come back again. I was defeated. Long story short, we had a great time at Bushwick Public House. The coffee was great, the service was quick and friendly, and, long story short, both Liv and I left with unforgettable memories that we will cherish for many lifetimes to come.

Great hangout daytime spot to get work done or to play pool, or just spend time with friends. I had a very delicious ☕️ latte. Awesome vibe. Highly recommend this place if you are in Bushwick.

It's a good concert venue for very intimate experiences. Hardcore shows are pretty badass in there. Let's connect: Search Lord of Emotion all over the internet

Booked underaged bands and makes the show 21+ leading to a massive crowd outside for hours. Horrible bouncers that go on massive power trips. Ruined everyone's night.

Terrible service. The bouncer put his hands on me even though I showed him my id. I heard the bartender whisper the t-slur after serving me. Overall terrible service and experience.

I went here with a date i had. I can't really review the alcohol we bought. Price was average, alcohol was alcohol at a bar. We played pool and the space is nice but my biggest complaint are the people. They provided me the worst bar experience I've ever had, which makes me never want to go here again. People kept flirting with my date, and I even saw the female bartender do cocaine in the bathroom with 2 other guys and 1 girl. Very unprofessional.

I went here on a slow Sunday, but the vibes were high! The blonde bartender was so sweet and friendly. She had great music taste and an even better attitude. The show downstairs was not my cup of tea, but everyone was have a great time and I could tell that there is a great sense of community at Bushwick Public House. Overall a great Sunday night. Will be back soon.

when we came in for a mid day work session, the one working speaker was busted and incredibly loud. there was a dog tied to the bar in the back and was barking frantically. the bartender took awhile to make our drinks and left everything on the bar rail.. gross. the music was controlled by a random group of friends, but kept turning it up despite the speaker being clearly broken and not producing anything audible. multiple people were eating food that uber eats drivers dropped off so there was no incentive to buy food here when you can clearly bring in your own things. i also wouldn't recommend consuming anything besides liquor because you can tell just off what's customer facing that the back/kitchen would be from a horror movie. i used to really like coming here, but the bartender vaping and eating pizza across the bar was so so gross. this place needs a health inspector immediately & needs new management. what a shame

I Recently discovered this place thanks to some friends , first time we grabbed drinks , Lagunitas beer all good. Next time around , dance party below good music on the drinks I tried the Hell or High water watermelon beer I gotta say this was great nice taste , light just right for these hot summer says. This is definitely the neighborhood spot , seems like everyone knows each other , the people & staff are nice & friendly , very cool & chill spot.

I've been here a bunch of random times for coffee or tea, day and night, and I love that they're always open and brightly lit. The crowd varies. Sometimes, I'm the only patron around. Other times, I'm occupying a wobbly table in the corner of a dense scene while people play pool and Christina Aguilera's "Fighter" blares. I appreciate the friendly staff, long hours, wifi, space for meeting/working, and versatile coffee/bar selections. I haven't tried the food yet or stopped by during an event, but I'm sure I will eventually.

Stopped by to get a coffee, and ended up staying because inside looked very confortable and cute. Loved their paintings on the wall, and how they got board games stacked up in the corner(most of games looked brand new). They also allowed us to bring outside food

Chill spot! Barista/Bartender is nice and efficient! The space has good music and board games. They have no food but you're allowed to bring your own. Price is good too! 5/5 star experience.

This is an unsafe space. I've been a regular here for a few months now, I'm an artist and there was no better place to get lost in my latest project, meet other artists, and chat and be served by an incredible staff. But over the past few months, there have been a number of incidents where someone came in from the streets and either directly attacked the bar staff and patrons or made threats that should not be taken lightly. The bar staff has been asking for door security but the owner refuses to acknowledge this as a real concern. Instead choosing to close the bar until further notice, leaving the whole staff without jobs. And all of us without a place to go. I hope they open again, but I know that for me I won't be returning until I see "under new ownership" posted over the window

I live near them and they have people out every night with monitor speakers just blasting music. When I complained to the owner about it he called me a bunch of slurs. They had to shut down for a while cos they had so many problems with customers getting violent and out of hand. Truly abhorrent stuff

This place is horrible. I used to go there for a coffee or tea before work, sometimes on the weekends. Now every single weekend there are 25+ people absolutely hammered spilling outside at 7:30am. This is not a safe place. There was a young girl working there with blue hair a few weeks ago, alone, with 10 wasted dudes taking shots at 8am. I don't know why the owners are allowing alcohol to be served like this. I came in with my baby to get a coffee and someone was trying to touch her feet while they were drunk. This place should be closed.

In all 8 years I've lived in Bushwick, the pub is a spot that has been perfectly placed between my apartment and the train. I go there all the time for my morning coffee. In all those years, I have learned one thing: There is only one person at the Bushwick Public House who knows how to make a latte correctly. He has long red hair. If there is anyone else there you're better off going somewhere else if you have the time. Everyone else makes shit coffee.

A super awesome spot that was right by our Airbnb and has a lovely atmosphere! It's a great spot for the day and night. The walls are covered with these great murals which are a ton of fun to look at. They also have a pool table which is fun to play. At night, it has great music playing, but not obnoxiously so which makes it a great place for conversation. The mule cocktail was super great and bartenders were very sweet and gave us plenty of other recommendations to try. We stoped by in the morning for coffee and it was a super strong, warm coffee and a short wait! Overall, loved this Bushwick spot!

A community center/ staple. Need a shot? Need coffee? Need to print something? Come here. Games, laid back place. Comedians sometimes crack jokes. Books and board games available to you. Pastries in the am are fresh! Staff is friendly and chatty.

Where can you get a custom cup of Expresso, a cocktail and a grilled panini all within an arms reach????? Bushwick Public House damn it! This is a cool spot I found this week when I had 30 minutes between appointments and I was looking for a good cup of coffee. Very hipster, laid back coffee shop/bar/cafe in Bushwick. I had a wonderful cup of coffee and my guest had a decaf americano, both cups delicious. The food menu is limited to 4 or 5 different paninis made behind the bar on a panini press. The alcohol situation is fairly impressive considering the tight quarters. Credit cards accepted Stools are benches available for seating Plus 1 for the pool table Plus 2 for the Jukebox Minus 1 for the miserable parking situation

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 3 Location: 4 Decor/ambiance: 4 Customer Service: 4 Cool chill spot in the middle of the neighborhood! My favorite feature is it seems to be open ALL THE TIME!! Like this place is never closed! Anytime you hit the side door there is someone behind the counter serving drinks. We all stopped by to grab a set of keys for the apartment AirBnB that we rented and made our mark here. Its small and cozy with a pool table and full bar. I didn't see where there was food but I may have that wrong. Anyways, if you are looking for a good hangout spot to grab a beer, check them out! Only thing... I promise you their wasn't a parking lot in sight... so street parking might be the thing here.

I've been coming here since it opened, when it was just a coffee shop. Now it's a cafe during the day (or WAS) and bar at night, with a venue downstairs. The few times I was ever there during the evening it was pretty chill, and often during the day I would go to do work or read. There would always be a couple people during the day having a beer but it still had a coffee shop vibe, but at some point over the summer the whole vibe changed. Before they even opened there would be drunk people waiting outside at the tables, and people would be doing shots and playing pool at 9am. At first it was kind of amusing but it has gotten increasingly rowdier and seedier. I went in on a Sunday afternoon - there was a huge rowdy crowd with a stream of people doing drugs in the bathroom and the barista seemed completely stoned. I ordered my coffee and she stared at me blankly for a few second (it's a black coffee, not so complicated), then after she handed it to me I had to remind her that I needed to pay for it. I've stopped going altogether which is really a shame because it was one of my favorite places and they really do have the best coffee around.

I stopped here for a quick bite for breakfast. I got a ham and cheese croissant and a latte to go and both hit the spot!

Great coffee, great prices, and fast, friendly service, no matter who's behind the bar. I'll spill a well-kept secret: they have the best croissants in Bushwick. Better than Sunrise/Sunset, better than the Bake Shop, better than the bakery up the hill on Central. They get them fresh every morning from Ceci Cela in LES. The pastry case is mostly sold out by noon, so get there early. Try the ham&cheese or spinach&ricotta pastries if they're out of plain croissants.

Awesome chill spot. Option for coffee or alcohol. I came here on a Saturday late afternoon and saw some customers working away at their laptops. Not overcrowded so there was plenty of seating. I was happy to see there was Hot Toddy on the menu, which I ordered and my friend got a cappuccino. The toddy was super tasty and satisfying given the gloomy weather day. Another friend eventually came in and also ordered the Hot Toddy. Since we were hanging out there for awhile, I went to get a hot chocolate (you know, to mellow out the alcohol). The hot chocolate came in latte art heart form (awesome!!). It wasn't sweet so you'd have to add your own sugar to your liking. I also overheard the pastries at that time was buy one get the second one free so I ordered the ham and cheese croissant. I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely come back.

Love the vibe in this place during the day this place is a coffee shop with cold brew on tap and they make great Capachino's and pastry. At night this place is a bar with good drinks and a pool table.

Pretty standard coffee shop that is reflecting the changing landscape of the neighborhood. I cannot say too much about the place, because I stopped in for a coffee and a pastry on an early Sunday morning. The barista was a little indifferent to the customers. Like I said, it was an early Sunday morning so I'd probably be a little indifferent too.

They let me use the bathroom even before my friend/future roommate arrived. He had a job interview today and it went well so a good memory will be associated with this place But like the beer wasn't that cold, but still fine. Really cool wall art, music was decent, could have been better. My grandma is racist so it's a nice change to be around so many people who look like they're anti racist. Will be returning Edit: I probably shouldn't have mentioned my grandmother like that. Love you grandma you're like 93 so you can't reallllyyy hurt anyone with your ways.

Google mapped a "coffee shop" on my way to an appointment and this place popped up. It's Uber hipster but quaint. (Posted some pics). I had a hankering for a chai latte which they had :) It was tasty and frothy just the way I like it...at the typical "coffee house" price. There were several people lounging around, reading, on lap tops etc. Very calm, inviting environment. Space is limited though but there's a blue clothed pool table! Interestingly enough, it seems like they have full bar service as well!! Def worth a stop!

Super chill coffee house / bar. I've been here twice in the afternoon so I can't comment on the alcohol but the bartender serves up some tasty chai lattes and flat whites. Lots of seating whether it's for 20 minutes or 2 hours. There's also a pool table and copy/fax machine. Right by the M train and B38 B54 buses.

Big fan of this place, friendly staff, good product and great place to work or socialize

Why haven't I always been coming here? This an excellent joint to work and hang. Great happy hour, pool table, plenty of seating to be a drunk laptop professional or hooligan. I'll definitely be here a lot to smash drinks and procrastinate.

Delicious sandwiches, great coffee (especially recommend the Black and Tan draft), local beers and craft cocktails. Everything tasted amazing and the prices were very affordable, especially considering that it's New York. The barista was super friendly and welcoming. Also, the music they play here is awesome, and they have Wifi and a pool table. It's basically everything you need rolled into one little spot. We will definitely come back again during our trip, I'm adding this to my list of favorite NY places! :)

Im not sure why they actually got a 5 star from this app. Coming from the hospitality industry and worked with a 5 star airline, they don't make the cut for the following reasons: 1) The bathroom is filthy and not we 2) The fat red head barista is rude everytime I would make my order or ask about the vegan options in the coffee menu and pastries selection. I notice he is very friendly to other customers esp to men and white customers and and being of mixed ethnicity, gives me an idea that he may be borderline racist. To be more specific, he is always on the morning shift or afternoon shift. 3) The movie selections on their television set has none. 4) The building itself is almost falling apart. They're not welcoming of you're new or know the baristas. 5) The pastries being displayed looks like it's ready to be tossed. I stopped going there after a few weeks of giving it a chance but overall, I don't see myself coming back.

Good coffee. Good vibes. Pool table for the win! I decided to check out this place since it's near where I live and I wasn't disappointed. James, the barista, welcomed me with a smile and his chill Aussie vibes. I ordered a flat white and it was great. Smooth and silky. Just what you want from a flat white. Later I ordered a latte and got a vanilla custard donut puff. Both were good as well. I recommend getting an espresso drink. Why get a normal coffee when you can get that anywhere? This place specializes in Melbourne-style coffee and they do their espresso drinks spot on. Want a black coffee? Get an americano. Bushwick Public House is the type of place that you can go to hang out and spend a lazy Sunday afternoon at. Next time, I'll bring a friend and play a few rounds of pool.... or I might just challenge James! Give it a go.

Great atmosphere and awesome location. Music is upbeat but easy on the ears while doing work. Great open space abd lots of seating. Outlets everywhere! Got the nitro latte and it's awesome. Light, good flavor, and smooth.

I live across the street. I don't go in very often but when I do, they are always very friendly and make my chai just the way I like it. The atmosphere is amazing too. Who can complain?

the staff is SO kind and it's open all the time. in the mornings it's a great place to study. My favorite spot in the neighborhood by far.

Great place to just chill, bartenders are always nice and they are ok with people just hanging out and using the WiFi. They even have bottomless mimosas on the weekend, so you can drink with out all the expensive Brunch part. Great atmosphere and they play good music.

Chill place to hangout or work and grab a drink (or coffee). They have a pool table and it seems to be in constant use. Cocktails are okay but this is not a cocktail bar. I'd probably stick to beer or we'll drinks next time.

This place was the perfect Friday night after a long week bar.... I had a really tough week and was sharing with my friend as we debated on what to order. Raul made incredible cocktails and really turned the week around... setting the tone for a much better weekend! Grateful for the chill ambience, the generous bartenders, the delicious Moscow mule, and the amazing service!

BPH gets better and better. At first I wasn't sure about this place but now it's becoming one of my working cafe go-to spots in the neighborhood. Their coffee is fresh and the price is right. Music is usually on point, and they seem to have taken care of the issue of having ads come on every so often, thank goodness. Their happy hour is mayyyybe my favorite part; it's tough to beat $6 cocktails from 3pm. And they're good $6 cocktails too - interesting recipes, fairly strong, and served in a pint glass?? How can I resist. One of the few bummers is that most of the chairs have no back support, so if you're planning on coming to work for several hours try to get one of the lower tables, or suck it up and take the opportunity to try to improve your posture (as I do, reluctantly).

Visited BPH a couple times since my partner moved to the neighborhood. Coffee was always OK but there's always one barista during the day who has excellent service which makes my visits pleasant! However, my friends and I decided to grab a drink one night where I had a negative experience with a female bartender. It's a Tuesday night so the place is quite empty. The bartender was unfriendly and inhospitable from the beginning of the night. We order drinks and when she asks for ID I realize I forgot mine at the apartment. Of course she cannot serve me so I walk to get my ID as she served my friends. After I return, it takes a moment for her to approach me because she's refilling a mans wine glass even though he didn't order another glass, she says to him "don't worry about it". This seemed very odd. Shortly after I sit down with my drink, my drink spilled all over me and the table. A different woman came to clean it up and took my glass even though there was a few sips left in it. I approach the bartender and politely ask if there's anyway she can replace the almost full drink that spilled all over me. She rudely said "I'd have to charge you." with a discerning look in her face, and walks away. NOW, I understand that I am responsible for my drink falling, HOWEVER, any credible establishment who relies on a loyal customer base from the local community would undoubtedly replace my drink with a smile on their face. This woman clearly did not care about me as a customer and repeatedly ignored me to chat with the man who's glass she kept refilling. Being completely disappointed with her service, I then notice her come around the bar and is holding hands with this man, all over him physically. That's when I realize he's her partner and she's been giving him all of her attention and FREE DRINKS ALL EVENING. As a paying customer this is completely unacceptable and the woman does not deserve her job at this establishment. After being an understanding person and walking to get my ID and coming back, this woman had zero consideration for me as a local customer and would only give her boyfriend free drinks. This visit was a huge disappointment and I wasted my money on a place that has no care for customers.

I really like the vibe in this place. Coffee is great. Cookies are great. I've never had a bad experience here. The only note I will make is that sometimes they place loud music during the day so it's not a normal, semi-quiet coffee place.

Shout out to Josh for being a great barista. My oat milk latte is top notch, music is fun, and the art is well done. Looks like they have alcohol and little bites too, I'll have to be back.

Best cafe ever. Strongly recommend barista George, Jesse, Marcell (I hope I typed them right) and so on. They are all very kind people and make fantastic Latte. This is the best coffee place you can ever find in Bushwick. Just by the M train Central Av station.

I'm officially hooked with this place. The Flat White was delicious. Tired of the crowdedness, overpriced coffee, horrible ventilation, and coming out smelling like a giant vegan panini, I was determined to find a place other than Lil Skip! I have finally found it! Clean, quiet, good music, good vibes, beautiful art, kind service, delicious coffee. I feel like my soul is once again at peace. All I am saying is that I go to enough warehouse parties on the weekends, so I really would like my coffee shops to not have that kind of vibe.

I was drinking here last night with my friends and we were having a nice time up until when they were closing. We were outside having a smoke with our drinks in one hand and the bartender came out and grabbed our drinks from our hands with no warning. We would have happily disposed of them had she asked us in a friendly manner or even asked us at all! I've never experienced such aggressive customer service, I will not be returning that's for sure.

Great space. Relaxed vibe with good small bites/drinks (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) this place is my current "go2" spot. LOVE IT!!

Coffee is good, price is reasonable. In happy hour you can get a cup of drip coffee for 1 dollar. Beers and cocktails are a bit overpriced. Pastries are delicious and they are 2 for 1 after 5 pm. Music is a bit loud and they have shows at 8pm almost everyday. Not a good place for quiet reading but nice place to hang out with friends.

A great place to get "specialty" coffee- your creamy cold brews, hot cappuccinos, and, if you seek a change, a FLAT WHITE- Aka the best proportion of espresso to steamed milk aka the only form I'll ever drink coffee in again (alright, that's only partly true.) Just found out they use La Colombe coffee, which also explains the crack-like qualities of their drinks! The pastries are pretty great too. Ham & cheese.

Excellent vibe. Came in here on a lazy Saturday afternoon to escape the heat and slam some iced coffee. Accomplished both, had a good chat with the friendly staff, and enjoyed ample seating. A gem of a cafe by Brooklyn's standards. I was partial to Little Skip's, but I believe I've found a suitable contender for my morning cafe business.

I love this little coffee shop. It's about a one minute walk from my apartment and has a super cute and cozy vibe inside. My favorite offering is the cold brew on tap, which is both delicious and potent which are the only things I ask of in my coffee. Everyone here is also friendly and it just has that lovely neighborhood coffee spot feel. Would recommend.
