Dream Baby Bar and Cocktail Parlour

What a find! My friends and I were looking for somewhere more low key to have fun and dance, and stumbled across this spot. Dream Baby looks unassuming from the storefront, and when you go in, it looks like your regular bar. But if you go to the back and make a left, you’ll find a back area designated for dancing, equipped with its own bar, a live dj, and a disco ball! On the night we went, the dj was playing banger after banger, mainly songs from the late 90s to early 2000s-2010s. This spot seems to have a good variety of drinks, from speciality cocktails, to beer, to seltzers. We mainly just stuck to the beer and seltzers because this was the last stop to our bar hopping. We ended up staying until they closed at 2AM, and enjoyed every second of it! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place to have fun dancing, while not being too packed.

After paying for the drinks the machine to tip started at 30%. Which is criminal for just ordering a few beers… should be illegal to try and rip customers off like that. Tipped $1 for 4 beers and this guy cursed me out. Ur lucky i tipped anything. Really rude and awful service. Is this how you treat customers? Never coming back. $10 beers served in plastic cups. Already a rip off.

I love this bar, its staff, and its regulars. Oh, and the drinks! As a neighborhoody, this is a special kind of place. Want to drop in for a great cocktail for a decent happy hour price? Done. Want to dance on a Friday night? They got you. Need to use the bathroom? They’ve got three. Want to have your birthday party here? Sure, why not! Special shoutouts to Darlene, who is an absolute jewel of a human being and one of the best bartenders in NYC. The space is clean and inviting, the cocktail list is varied and delicious. Pretty good beers on tap. No food, so only come thirsty. Remember to tip your bartenders!

I love this bar, and the staff are incredible. The drinks have always been great, the music is well-curated, and the DJ's know how to set the vibe. I like to go before it gets really crowded, though, because a lot of the young 'uns in the neighborhood were not raised to respect other humans, and it shows. Cons: Sloppy, entitled weekend patrons. Pros: Everything else.

It’s the only bar I’m comfortable going to really. All the bartenders are awesome, super chill and easy to talk to. Their service is attentive and always on point. The atmosphere is really laid back during the week and turns up a notch on the weekends of course. They have a back room with disco lights and a awesome DJ. I celebrated my birthday there and had a blast!

The things they are doing in this bar are illegal. The ‘no tip’ button was just blacked out with tape on their terminals. When I went the second time and somehow managed to press ‘no tip,’ the bartender, a lady with blonde hair, gave me a really ugly comment, making me not want to stay any longer. Oh yes, and by the way, the tip options were 30%, 35%, and 40%. Are you serious? For what? It was a horrible experience, and I would never recommend or go back there again.

Really relaxed vibe and welcoming bar. Easy and laidback stop for a drink. Nice space, dark with candles and mood lighting and good music. Cocktail menu on the mirror (all $14) a little hard to read from afar. I got the New York Buck with gin and it’s fine, which is a lot better than I can say for a lot of cocktails. Either the name is <secret> outside or I missed it!

My new favorite EV bar! Great back room with disco ball for dancing and makes for a perfect IG shot! We booked a party here last wk and had a blast! The manager was so sweet...my friend lost her wallet and she found her on IG and sent us a message to pick it up. The staff was so friendly! There's no table service so it was cool to be able to bounce back and forth from the front to the back and dance. Everyone had such a great time we're already planning our friend's next party there, thanks Maria for making it so easy!
