Floyd, NY

I had a terrible experience at this bar due to the rude bartender. From the moment I walked in, the bartender was unfriendly and dismissive. They made me feel unwelcome and seemed annoyed whenever I tried to order a drink. Customer service is crucial in the hospitality industry, and this place seriously lacks it. I won't be coming back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant night out.

I loooove this bar. The bartender is so nice. You can have some beers or even a frozen margarita (quite refreshing). Fun crowd. Great place to day drink on the weekend!!

Not gonna lie, we fell in love with Floyd. We definitely went off peak, and at 1am most nights, but free Bocce, great beers and loads of space? Honestly this has your favourite local written all over it.

Bar tender is a horrible person, we waiting for Floyd’s to open because we heard it was iconic & told her we waited and said ‘wow what a wonderful thing to open the doors to….’ and kicked us out when there was ZERO people there …. Not a great look for the business at all. Would have spent $400 all night but not because of her - get better staff

cocktail was good but bartender was terrible. Even when I just asked for a straw she responded very rudely.

The bar had toddlers sitting at the bar seat when my friends and i entered the bar. When one black friend of mine didn't have an id, the bartender shouted at him 5+ times “get out of my bar” when there were babies screaming here. When i chatted with the senior bartender there, they explained to me that they wanted to exercise their right to refuse service to anyone. I just want to let people know I totally understand people’s wishes to exercise their right, just know that this establishment is not nice to everyone and proudly claimed their rights multiple times in my face that they could do anything they want. There are many many much nicer and friendlier bars in the neighborhood. The beer list is also extremely small. Our friends also all bought beers unknowingly and they continued to charge everyone.

Flyod has been my neighborhood go-to for the last 3.5 years in the area. It only just get better. The atmosphere for football ⚽️, specifically the English premier league (soccer) is ridiculous. If you want to watch a big match arrive EARLY! It's a big space with three TVs but it gets full!

such a great cozy spot! love the vibes and bocce ball

Great soccer bar in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. It can get pretty crowded, but that's part of why I like coming here. It feels like you're watching soccer game at the stadium. They also have bocce ball here, which is nice addition to the bar. Aside from bar seating, they have super comfy couches. Only reason I didn't give five stars is because they don't serve food here, but they are really nice about letting you bring your own food in.

Nice, local bar that opens late until 4am (except Sundays until 2am). Unfortunately, the kitchen does close before 11pm though. We stumbled here to grab a drink. We enjoyed a table outdoors but then the large trucks passing through the street made it quite difficult to have a conversation. We switched over to the inside, which had a very cozy element to it. There's a fake fireplace with couches that makes you feel almost at home. Plus, there's a bocce ball court to some fun activity too. We had 3 rounds of drinks, which were about $12 each. I did find that they put too much gingerale in my Jameson, so opted for my Jameson on the rocks later on. It's a nice spot for a date or friends, especially if you get the couch seats.

Great atmosphere. Great beers. Great patrons. Nice place to play Pétanque. I have not tried the food but I expect it's bar food, obviously .

Let me tell you - I did not think I was going to love this place but BOY was I wrong. Our friends brought us into Floyds late one Friday night after exploring Brooklyn. They told us it was their favorite establishment and walkable to their place, so we trusted their opinion and to Floyds we went. We walked up and it seemed like this little hole in the wall bar. Not that we are above that by any means, actually - we tend to gravitate toward them so we entered in. I quickly was waited on by the bartender and ordered 2 Tito's and Sodas and 2 Old Fashions. She gave me my drinks and we took a seat. Floyd's was busy, but comfortable. It was cold outside, but warm in there! It was lively and seemed like a local spot. I took a sip of my Tito's and Soda and it was DELICIOUS, like top 5 I've EVER had. My husband said the same about his Old Fashion. And, to top that off, the total was only $50 for all four of those drinks. That's reasonable considering what we were paying before. We hung around and finished the round and did not stop there. We actually ordered another round, because it was such a great atmosphere and we were having a great time. Highly recommend Floyd's if you're in the Brooklyn area and lookin for a relaxing night with good drinks.

Very friendly place with kind of a low-key divey feel but in the best way possible. Dog friendly seating outside and super nice staff. I would definitely be a regular here if I didn't live across the country.

This is my Sunday jam (and M-S). This is like a cute dive-esque bar, which offers a great vibe, and a diverse, fun crowd. But what ALWAYS makes it is the bartender, Vanessa. She is top notch. Always happy to see us, always funny, and always remembers our drinks. Like I said, the best.

I watch the English Premier League here just about every weekend - if you're a Manchester United fan you'll be in company! Bar staff is always super friendly and helpful - they post which matches they'll have on pretty regularly on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/floyd_nyc. Great bar for sports in general, but the world cup set it over the top for the football (soccer); they've got all the premier league matches, loads of the cup games, and have had rugby in the past for anyone who asked (they are pretty reliable for american sports too if that's your thing!). It's also a great late night spot and has a bocce court. Can't wait to get back into the swing of it! See ya soon!

Floyd is one of those local watering holes that should suit anyone's fancy just looking to enjoy a cold beer or other spirits after a long day or just catching up with friends or co-workers. Floyd is definitely not fancy, in fact, it really gives you an olden days western tavern feel. The bartender that served me was friendly and welcoming. For those that enjoy live music and games (Bocce), Floyd has visiting live bands and other musical performances. Floyd also has games that you can play with friends while you're enjoying your cocktail, beer or beverage. Again, Floyd is a neighborhood bar the definitely caters to the locals and music lovers. It's ways great to support local bars and restaurants and Floyd is definitely worthy of the support.

This spot is so cool! Went on a trip to NYC last week and stayed in Brooklyn. It was a Tuesday and this place was open until 4am! Heck yeah! Came to celebrate my sister in laws bday and so we had to go out somewhere. Luckily Floyd's was open and my wife and I showed her little sister a good time. The ambience was great, the music, and the bartender was excellent! Thank you, Floyd's!!

The bartender, who was also acting as a vax card checker, was super rude and racist. When I tried to talk to the owner about it, he ignored what I was saying and waited so long to look at the bar camera footage like I asked that it was wiped from the hard drive. NEVER go here if you want the people you're with to be safe and comfortable.

Definitely my fave bar in cobble hill for late night beers! The vibes are always on point and the bartenders, including Tom, are always super sweet and attentive. Thanks for welcoming me !

I'm basically just rating this place as a reaction to all of the crylords rating 1 star and telling their nonsensical life story. It's a divey bar with cheap drinks, bocce ball, and nice staff. decide for yourself if that's what you want or not. Floyd delivers on everything it tries to be.

So went to DUMBO to check out the Timeout Food court....yeah I hated it, so I walked away far and fast enjoying the water but also pouring out sweat like only an old bald guy in the sun can...I needed a beer! So I hooked inland grabbed yelp and found Floyd...an oasis on Atlantic ave. Let's see friendly bartender, ice cold AC and nice selection of beer, indoor bocce(yeah my ex wife is italian so hate bocce) but plenty of nice couches and hardly any annoying young people...ok 3, the other youngins were quiet and well mannered. So yeah I love this place, so please don't screw it up and raise the rent and turn it into a TD Bank.

Floyd is a chill, relaxing bar. very spacious and tons of comfortable seating. prices are inexpensive and there's something for everyone here: whether you like whiskey, craft beer, or you're not afraid to slum it with cheap whiskey/beer shot combos (that's all three for yours truly, thankyouverymuch). and, for hydration, there's a big cooler in the center of the room, so you don't have to bug the bartender for water as frequently (such is the joy of being a long-distance runner). there's also an indoors bocce court! admittedly, I couldn't help but notice that the one bartender looked an awful lot like my uncle, which only made the place better.

My friend mentioned going to a birthday Friday night of someone I possibly met once years upon years ago. Of course I sprung for the opportunity to catch up and check out some places in Cobble Hill. Floyd's I vaguely remember hanging out in briefly possibly 4 or 5 years ago with a friend that had just moved from Michigan. I remember being annoyed at how crowded it was with her friends and walked out before purchasing a drink. This time it wasn't that bad. The people throwing the celebration had the back of the bar reserved. Also, the front of the bar wasn't too bad because we managed to get seats at the bar. Drinks during non-happy hour: Everything is pretty much $6. Wells and beer. My friend wasn't sure what she wanted so I suggested a lighter wheat beer and actually went with the Allagash as well. Unfortunately, she realized that she didn't like her beer after two sips or most beers and strongly encouraged me out of fascination to chug mine and chug hers so she can order 2 more drinks and close out her tab. This is where Ingrid makes life mistakes. I'm fully capable of chugging a beer faster than most men. Head hits the table. We discussed what she would possibly like next because we doubted they would serve white Russians (her drink of choice) and I recommended trying a Tequila Sunrise. The bartender was trying but she made it with pineapple juice. That is a Florida Sunrise, folks. My knowing this is probably not a great thing. Very boozy and delicious but not the right mix. I like the décor of the place. It's apparently Union Hall's twin sister bar. We don't like when bars have twin sisters because it just takes away from its originality. But they ALSO have bocce ball and beer cheese here with antiquated furniture and couches. Union Hall's library is admittedly cooler but I like that it is not as much of a mad house on a weekend night. Also, they played a lot of old school Arcade Fire which went appreciated. Ms. Pac Man, which I am terrible at and played at least two rounds of, is in the corner. We also came across a party crasher named Megan that night. She was a hoot and a half. I love party crashers that offer you free gum and take pictures with you in party hats and cake. Cake cake cake cake cake cake. Cake. Party time.

HAHA I LOVE THIS SPOT! I am NOT a hipster but I love the vibe that this place has. Its has mellow music which allows you to to hear who you are talking to, thats always a plus. The bar tender is pretty cool, and although there is no kitchen they allow you to go out and get food and eat in inside the bar. What makes it even better is that there are couches here. Now heres the best part- IT HAS A BOCCHE BALL COURT IN THE BACK!!! I learned how to play and now all I want to do is go back there.

I like this place a lot . I bumped into by accident and I'm happy I did. They had one of my favorite soccer matches playing. I really enjoyed myself. The staff is super friendly. Vanessa was my bartender and she knew how to make my drink perfectly. I will come back again I'm surprised no one had told me about this place before

+1 point for the Madmen trailer being parked out front, a celeb sighting, and someone confusing me for a director. +1 point for an indoor bocce court that's free and easy to use. Also, great acoustics for conversation.

2nd year in a row for our office holiday gathering. I like the size of the place and the cozy sofas and tables. Service was so so. The bartender lady was kind of rude when i didn't know what drink i wanted.

Ample seating and standing room? Check. Activities for bros or those who have a competitive spirit? Check. A great beer selection? No, and at the end of the day, the drink selection is determinative of how good a bar is. Floyd is your average neighborhood bar that offers a laid-back time for locals (or the occasional student crowd). However, it just doesn't warrant a visit if you reside in another neighborhood.

I love how no matter how lively Floyd seems to be, the only thing I have to wait for is bocce. With good prices, friendly bartenders, and plenty of seating (thanks to what looks like the Meeker Ave Flea's entire living room collection), Floyd is just a comfortable, laid-back place to hang out. It effortlessly entertains both the slightly older, lower-key BK Heights folks, and also the younger, louder crowd from the south side of Atlantic; anyone can relax and have a good time here. Floyd also holds a place in my heart as the spot where I started to go a little Linsane.* Especially since there was someone next to me, drunk enough to forget how sayings go, shouting "Look at these apples!!" in a Laker fan's face. __________ *Recent events have me feeling more Lindifferent, sadly.

Floyd looks like a typical Brooklyn hipster dive but I like the comfortable, laid-back atmosphere permeating the place. Plus, I've never seen a bocce ball court inside a bar before so that ups the cool factor. The rummage sale couches and mismatched furniture somehow all work, maybe because they're arranged in little living room style seating areas conducive to conversation. We ended up chatting with fellow customers we didn't know...all because they invaded, oops, asked to sit our living room! My eagle-eyes even found a partially hidden outlet in a fireplace to recharge my perpetually battery-drained iPhone. The bar isn't the type that serves the trendy mixologist cocktails, but they do have all the top shelf you'd probably want, plus a full line of Brooklyn beer. Floyd is probably hopping on weekend nights, but it's a nice place to relax and unwind on a Sunday afternoon too.

I've been to Floyd twice now and while this bar will never be my cup of tea, I can understand why people like it. It's a fun, casual sports bar reminiscent of your favorite college spot (great for groups, mixed drinks in plastic cups, etc.) Thats all great... if that's your thing. But if you're like me and prefer more upscale, intimate bars with a solid wine selection, Floyd may not be your favorite.

Bocce what? The last thing one expects to see when walking into a bar is a clay court, designed to play a game that old Italian guys have loved since time immemorial. But hey, its Brooklyn right? Turns out that bocce ball is pretty much the best. Was it because I am uber competitive? Maybe. Or maybe it was the fact that you can get a decently priced beer while you're rolling bocce. Either way, this is the main draw to Floyds, along with the unpretentious vibe. Walking in, the first thing that struck me (beyond the obvious court) was how dark the back was. But it kind of worked for the place, especially for the arena (like I said, I'm competitive). There's old wooden furniture and old couches that look like they came right out of the 70's, along with an old Packman machine in the back to round out the flavor. We ordered up a round of cheap beers (it was happy hour) and got to work playing bocce. Not a terribly hard game to learn, we were quickly joined by some others who wanted in. I think this is the beauty of a place like Floyds; it forces human interaction, which is cool. I guess.... Once in a while. The staff is super chill, they didn't even freak when I hit a low celling beam with a ball, making quite the noise (turns out trying to "jump" another ball is a bad move...don't try this*). We played a few rounds, and were eventually dethroned in an exceptionally close match (pains me still); needless to say I got really (really) into this game, but I'm betting you would too, so why not give it a shot. This place is absolutely worth checking out; I'll certainly be back for another round of bocce and a bucket of beers sooner than later. ______________________________________ *unless you're into stopping a bar dead in its tracks and have the gaze of 50 people you don't know burning into your soul, as you turn red with embarrassment. Not that I would know anything about that.

Very cool spot for pre-dinner drinks. Came here on a Saturday before going to see a movie. The couches were cool, and of course, being able to show my out-of-town friends a bar with bocce ball was a plus. Bartender wasn't the friendliest dude, but he got us our drink orders quickly and without any problems. By the time we left, it had started to get a little more crowded with annoying volleyball players. I had heard that Floyd is pretty hit-or-miss at night, and I could see that. On the flip side, some girl at the bar gave me a tequila shot because she ordered too many. So there's that.

I think the place is a bit overrated from what I was hoping for coming in. First time on a Saturday afternoon into evening. First thing I saw before coming was they had bocce, but in reality it's more like bocce meets bowling because you roll the ball because the court is just wood. I feel bad, but there was literally only 1 woman working the entire place. She was so overworked, and had no help. As a result, the service time was really bad. She had a crowded bar, but could barely keep up with demand, and as a result, there was no one to go around cleaning up besides her on the off chance she had a second to breath. Drinks were fine, nothing to write home about. Reasonably priced. I came in from Manhattan so I probably won't make the trip back out. We found a good spot for dinner down the block easily enough so that was fine.

No glitz, no glam, but I appreciated the simplicity of this bar. After braving through the chaos of 5th avenue the day after Christmas, it was nice to find some peace, tranquility and DRINKS. The tap beer and wine selection aren't extensive, but you'll definitely enjoy the few craft beers on tap and the generous wine pours from the bartender. Prices were reasonable. For my glass of Malbec and my boyfriend's IPA, our bill was $14. Plus, the bartender was extremely nice and attentive. If you want a quiet evening with friends, I'd highly recommend Floyd!

Cold at first, Floyd's warmth Grows with every drink- bocce And couches for fun

I used to love coming to this place but after last night, I don't think I'll be drinking there again. This bar pours cheap well liquor into expensive bottles. I used to bartend and I know a lot of places do this but this one got caught. It's inexcusable especially when you're someone with an allergy or sensitivity to certain ingredients that are in one vodka but not in another. Liars and cheats. Detailed explanation below... My girlfriend and I were there celebrating a friend's birthday. We each had TWO drinks (and I didn't even finish my second). They were Tito's with soda and lime, what we always drink. Most other vodka causes me to have a deadly hangover headache, even if I only had one drink and barely got tipsy...so I stick to Titos. Both of us have this issue with vodka and other liquors so we stick to what we know we can enjoy. Well, this morning we both woke up with the worst hangover headache we've had in years. And we both recalled immediately that this was how we felt when we used to drink other liquors that contained ingredients we don't agree with. So angry. And also sick :/

Best bar - ever. Couches, chairs, jukebox! If you look up "relaxed atmosphere" there should be a picture of Floyd's. This is the kind of bar I missed all month, the kind of bar I know so well from Berlin or Hamburg, and I found it in Brooklyn. The prices are more than alright. And this game called Bocce is addictive!

After taking a long walk through the neighborhood, we found Floyd. This was truly a gift because all the other places to drink on a Saturday were a little too... well not our speed. Either a little too fancy or an older crowd. We were looking for comfortable leaning on dive and we found it in Floyd. Pulled up a stool and ordered some Red Stripe for the bartender who was super nice, forgot her name, and enjoyed a couple of hours. It really seemed to be a neighborhood spot and there were a lot of regulars (which is a quality I look for in a bar). It's a really nice space with baci ball too. It's a spot that the neighborhood needs, for sure and I'll be back.

Very cool place. Comfy vintage sofas like a nice coffee shop. The indoor bocce court alone is worth 4 stars but when you throw in a Pac Man machine and a place to get fried Twinkies next door (Chip Shop) you've got yourself a pretty cool place. The beers are a little pricer than I'd ideally like them if you're not getting their crappy canned beer ($3). Bottles (even Bud Light) are $5, and drafts are $6. Word of the wise, if you want to play Bocce get there early or sign up on the waiting list and expect to wait awhile (if you're coming on a Friday/Saturday night) because its a hit with the crowd. They used to be a very dog friendly bar, and still might be but now that they sell their own beer cheese ($7) I'm not sure if they're still allowed to be. A dart board, patio area, or cheaper beers might have been the only way to squeeze the 5th star from me, otherwise a nice place to throw a couple down.

Great place to just wander into on our trip to NYC and first timers in Brooklyn. Cool, casual...somewhat divey (i.e. more divey than not) atmosphere. Long old wood bar with plenty of bar stools. A bunch of couches clustered around, including a nice spot near the front picture window. With the light shining in, plus Rolling Stones music...I could have stayed here all afternoon. Friendly bartender. Good beer selection. Tasty Bloody Mary (Old Bay Seasoning is the secret...shh!) And fun to see the indoor Bocce Ball court. I could easily see being a regular here on a Saturday afternoon.

This is a great neighborhood bar with a very chillaxin kind of vibe (I just wanted to use chillax in a sentence). The crowd is mixed, neighborhood locals and a bunch of lawyers or future lawyers from the nearby court houses and law school. What I like most about this bar is the ample amount of space. Even at its most crowded (like on a new year's eve party) it's still not that crowded. They have bocce ball which is always fun, but some nights are league nights and the pros won't let you play. Don't worry you too can become a pro, it takes all of five minutes to learn how to play this game. The drinks are pretty cheap, it's a good place for a goup and they let you bring in food from outside. What more can you ask for?

I have to disclose that this review is a bit biased because this place holds a special place in my heart - I met my husband here 6 years ago so it will always be my favorite neighborhood bar. That being said, I do think floyd's has a great atmosphere. I've been going here for many years, first as a law student and then with coworkers or friends when I moved to the neighborhood. The bocce court is obviously a big draw and a lot of fun but they also have a good jukebox, a couple arcade games, and several seating areas to catch up with friends or get to know a date. The drink prices are decent and the staff is not pretentious. They also pull out a projector screen for certain sports games if that's your thing. Lastly, they let you order food to the bar since they don't have a kitchen. Floyd's has something for everyone!

Really laid back and cool place. Try the Brooklyn Bel Air Sour on tap and play some bocce ball.

Inventive crapocopia (will try next time), Maker's 8's, and a indoor bocce lane in the depth of Brooklyn. Not bad for a dark, fun bar to chill in, and the random romance books in the bookshelf - we thought it was funny. The bartender's knife comes in handy - no food here, though, so fair warning to bring your own!

Good prices, with a pretty standard beer selection. I'd give it another star if the line to play bocce wasn't so long. :(

Had a great time...other than trying to play bocce. A group of apparent "league" players decided they wanted to control the court...but not by skill. They just kept skipping over names on the list and lying about it. The first time was when my friend's name was bypassed. Realized definitively when I asked some guys reviewing the list who was up next. Turns out I was supposedly on the court currently playing despite standing on the sidelines. Never made it on to the court.

Very nice place, the bartender is awesome. The environment chilled and the music is not too loud!

My friend and I checked this place out on a Sunday night. We both enjoyed the vibe here it was laid back and very casual. The music was enjoyable and the drinks decently priced. He ordered a rum and coke and I ordered a vodka tonic ($8 each) and we didn't have any complaints. There is nothing extravagant about Floyd's, but that is what I liked about it. If you are just looking for a cool place to hang with friends this is the place to go. I will continue to come here again.

This place is decent bar but the dark haired female bartender (manager?) could not be any less friendly. Acts as if she's angry to be there, and annoyed to be helping you. And if you bring a toddler in there prepare for the stink eye. This bar is in cobble hill. Not asking you to have a kids menu but for the love of god don't make people feel guilty about having a child (provided he or she is well behaved).

During the week, this place is decent. There are comfy chairs all around, and you're able to have pizza delivered to you should you feel hungry. The crowd is made up of mostly locals during the week which makes this place perfect for a drink or two to wind down. All of the drinks are fairly priced, especially being that it is located in Brooklyn Heights. The one thing that prevents me from being a big fan is the fact that on weekends or during a holiday, they are understaffed. The crowd isn't a mature one, and is usually made up of college students and loud bros. I've waited up to 15 minutes to be acknowledged by the bartender on more than one occasion. Just having one bartender on staff during peak hours is extremely frustrating, especially when you're barely 5ft. and surrounded by very tall bros who seem to have no issue getting their drinks.

The thing I love about most Brooklyn bars is that they're usually pretty big, not too crowded, and have baci ball in the back and this bar was no exception. The only thing I didn't like was the gross couches. The couches in this place all look like they were found in some alley after a long rainstorm; everything was rotted and duct taped and crusty and ripped. The couch we sat on looked like it was covered in a coat of crusty rust; felt gross looking at it and I hoped it was at least comfortable to sit on but the crusty crunch as I sat down gave me shivers. The rest of the bar is pretty nice, and it was cool that water was served literally from a water cooler in the middle of the bar, I'm Assuming to encourage "water cooler talk". Decent bar, nothing special, but not good for sitting

Brooklyn, WE GO DOMESTICATED. What I had on the text with my girl: "I'm here, OH MY GOD BROOKLYN, even the bartender is married." This is a watering hole for the 25+ set. It's a bar filled with people who are over their post college angst and quiet their internal turmoil about what to do for the rest of their adult lives with cheap well made drinks. It's a sportyish bar, but it radiates a very distinct comfy feeling. The place is filled with neighborhood folks and people visiting. The urban-suburban after work vibe is chilllllll, this is a very relaxing place. My five dollar scotch and soda was very well made, not too strong but I felt like I got a good deal. They have one landing strip for boccie ball, lots of nooks and crannies for groups to get cozy in, and a clean bathroom. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Great laid back bar that's a stone's throw from my apartment. The bartenders are friendly, as are the clientele. Drinks normally hover around $6 for beer, cocktails and wine, although there are always specials on crappy beer like PBR or Schlitz (why oh why do people like this stuff?). The bartenders make some really STRONG, generous drinks. Have you ever had a vodka tonic in a 16 oz tumbler? I hadn't, until I ordered one here - that was some vodka tonic! This is also a great place to watch sports, especially soccer -- it seems to show all the televised matches. Even if you're not into watching sports, perhaps a game of bocce ball will interest you. Yes, there's a bocce ball court inside! Floyd doesn't serve any food, but feel free to order food for delivery, or pick something up from the Chip Shop next door and bring it over. Sit at the bar, the tables or the comfy couches and enjoy. There are only two things that scare me about Floyd: 1) the music selection; and 2) the chalkboard menu that offers "Kentucky Beer Cheese, $4." Because what the heck is beer cheese?? *UPDATED: After 2 years of coming here, I finally saw someone order the Kentucky Beer Cheese. It's apparently made with flat beer. The couple eating this described it as "Ritz crackers with a spicy cream cheese." Hmph. Yeah, still scary.

I wanted to love this place. I mean it has Bocce for fuck's sake. Bocce freakin' ball!!! But, my experience started with a no look pass. Elaborate? Sure. I order. Hand the bartender a twenty-spot and he is so enthralled with with his convo with a co-worker, that he reaches behind to practically throw my change onto the bar. No eye contact. No thank you. Excuse me? Turning around to hand me my change is too much trouble? I automatically left a tip, but upon reflection I really wanted to walk back over to the bar and grab it back. 1 star for the great space 1 star for the Belgian beer on tap 1 star for a great vibe But that's it. The service NEVER got better. I even gave the place a second shot.

Worth moving to Brooklyn for. Seriously. I say that without a drop of irony or malice. Somehow this place managed to melt away all my Manhattan snobbery (and believe me I have plenty) to turn into one of my favorite host venues for a Yelp elite event thus far. First there's the bar itself. A warm, sunny, friendly melange of faded victorian couches, round wooden tables, and a stately mahogany bar surround an indoor bocce ball court. Now, I am not one to brag of my athletic prowess, but for an unknown reason, I happen to be very good at bocce ball. Who knew? Then there's the staff. Josh and Courtney are perhaps the two most awesome people ever to man the bars at a Yelp event (or ever) and they made everything a dream for Russ and me. Prices are totally reasonable for everything from beer to top shelf martinis. And the attitude of the place just says "yes, you are totally welcome here." So should I ever decide to settle down, adopt a Malaysian baby (or something) and move to Brooklyn, I will make sure that wherever I live, it's within walking distance of Floyd. I am quite a fan.

After being sadly surprised that Henry Public only accepts cash, we meandered our around Brooklyn Heights a bit while researching Yelp, of course! Then along came Floyd - a reasonably priced, laid back Brooklyn bar. Oh, and yeah, they have a bocce ball in the middle of the bar, too! It seems everywhere you go in the Big Apple there is a 2 hour wait, but Floyd had two seats with our name on it. Along with some friendly and fast service, no less! The bar boasts a remarkable design without the way too obvious 'hipster' style. The furniture reminds me of a crafty and cute estate sale effortlessly embellished with old books and candlesticks. Definitely an old professor's study. All I needed was a pipe and and and some hounds tooth attire.

Worst. Full of college douchebags and I usually end up almost getting in a fight. Ok, part of that is probably due to my whiskey intake, but... Nevermind, maybe it's the worst only when I'm at my worst. but I still won't be back.
