"Exposed brick and just the right amount of interior greenery give a woodsy allure to this neighborhood bar, reminding you of long weekend trips to the Catskills. All menus are seasonal, and change relatively frequently, as they rely heavily on local ingredients. Stop by for witty banter and New York themed trivia (sometimes current, sometimes historic) every third Monday of the month." - Brooklyn Digital Foundry

Livingston Manor is a cute little bar located in Downtown Brooklyn - the atmosphere in this place is so lovely!! They have a great menu, I recommend the Nervous Bride. They also make a great margarita!! The staff are kind & accommodating as well. This is a great spot - I'll definitely be back!

The drinks were nice. I love my service from the bartender Rome he was honest about everything. Very helpful in assisting and recommendations. As far as food goes it is not recommended. Get your drinks and eat some place else. I ordered a sandwich from here late at night it was not fresh.

This might be a new go-to spot for me! Right of the A/C/G train, great drinks, even better service, ample bar seating, and decent music. Great for meeting someone off a dating app for the first time. Or getting a nightcap. Highly recommend!

The best bar I've been to around downtown brooklyn. It has a great vibe, attentive staff, and perfect for a few drinks and food. It's small and charming but has a cool vibe to it. A place to start the night of drinking or visit after a long day of work.

This is a great spot to chill and relax. The bartender Diana gave my friend a lot of good relationship advice, and offered us drink recommendations when we weren't sure what to order. This may be my new hangout spot for the weekend ^^

First time at Livingston manor. We walked in and no acknowledgement whatsoever and being there were only a few patrons, we wasn't sure if the back (because the area was dark) was open or just the bar area. So we waited by the bar to get someone attention and nothing. Okay..., we just sat in the back than. Which wound up being cool to have a conversation. The old fashion wasn't really good, kind of harsh. However mellowed out as the ice melted. The other drink and garlic parmesan fries were good, just needed a little salt.

It feels weird describing a bar in downtown Brooklyn as a "local" dive, but that's exactly what Livingston Manor is - a local spot, tucked away between all the awful chain stores and tall buildings that define the area. It's a sort of booze oasis in the area. Come for the atmosphere, there's always a good energy here, with a warm interior and a nice little patio for the warmer weather. In terms of beers, it's not the most extensive selection but they've got a little variety of what's on tap. All in all, a decent spot for a beer in a chill atmosphere, and those are hard to come by in downtown Brooklyn!

The service was not that attentive. I had to actually go get the barmaid just to put in my order. Fries were ok. I remember when they opened years ago and it was great.

Quaint little bar with good vibes, but I need to discourage a very scummy tactic used here. The minimum suggested tip on the handheld here is 20%, which is fine, many places now do 20% minimum. But what's not okay is that they order the tips from highest to lowest! Better yet, there's a suggested tip option of 50%. Yes, 50. So when closing your tab, it shows 50%, 25%, 20%. This is obviously to take advantage of drunk bargoers who instinctively choose the left option, which is the lowest literally everywhere else. The combination of swapping the order of suggested tips and making the first option 50% is out of hand and frankly, should be illegal. Allegedly they changed this since I went last weekend but this is too egregious to ignore.

This bar is still open and still amazing. Not sure what Yelper marked it as closed! Not cool!

Went yesterday for a bite and drinks with friends to check out their brand new food menu and it was AWESOME! We started with the fries and arancini (a must) and they were out of this world! (so good we had to get seconds and thirds lol) The staff was super friendly and the food came out super quick (really generous portions too!) Their drinks were wonderful as per usual and it was a great vibe inside. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the new menu!!!

Excellent bar. Great vibes. Spacious. Relaxed but a little festive. Might I say, a place of good cheer. Plenty of seating at the bar down the left wall and a good number of tables down the right. Bathroom in the back. Fun and funky but clean. At least a couple of tables outside too. That's all good. But for me to give a bar five stars it has to be a full-on drink haven. Very strong bartenders here. Friendly, chill, there to serve your buzz. But also quick to offer a glass of water while you order. I love a place that's a beer bar with lots of taps, but also a real cocktail bar where they know how to make a good drink! Speaking of drinks, I loved my oatmeal stout and they made my girlfriend one of the best Negronis she had on our trip to New York. And she had a lot. Yeah, we were day drinking and night drinking, since you asked. New York offers a lot, but this sweet li'l spot was worth writing about now that I'm back home.

While the drinks were pretty good the service was a let down. Not sure if the bartenders were having an off night because someone hurt their feelings but it showed up in the lackluster and aloof demeanor which was disappointing. I will just chalk it up to everyone has a bad day and sometimes its a group of coworkers having a day where they just don't want to deal with whatever and say still try this place but don't be surprised by the service.

- great chicken sandwich It gets so light if you take it to go It does not have very good reheat value - super friendly and talented bartenders - divey feel - no happy hour - $14 cocktails are kind of on the expensive side

I live across from here and thought nothing of it from the outside for the longest time. I decided to stop in with some friends after dinner and was so impressed by the drink menu. They have a bunch of options - I got their version of an espresso martini which was delicious. The space is a little divey, cozy, and cool. The bartenders are very friendly and the vibes are really fun especially as the night goes on!

UPDATE Wish I could do zero stars. I liked this place a lot, emphasis on the past tense. On this day, I had one drink and was talking to two wonderful women from New Orleans and a bloke from the UK. It was around 5:00pm. The two women went to sit outside and asked if I wanted to join them. I stayed inside speaking to the bloke from the UK. After about 5-10 minutes, the bartender asked to speak with me in their backyard garden. I said to just tell me inside. Nobody was there. I don't like BS to begin with so I said to just tell me what was up. Apparently someone got a sad from something I said or did or whatever. The bartender wouldn't say what, nor would she say who. The bartender said she wasn't going to serve me. I left. I went outside and was talking to the two women I was speaking to in the bar. We talked about 10 minutes. I told them what happened. They were puzzled. Then it dawned on me as I saw the bartender Mark leave. It was he. I suspect that he was the one who got the sad over the two women and I having an LGBT-oriented conversation. I went to another place and there was Mark. What confirmed my suspicions is that Mark completely avoided me at the other place where he also worked. Looks like he's a hard worker. He's just a coward, and I have to wonder if he's also a homophobe. Of course, perhaps I'm completely wrong. My sixth sense (no, I don't see dead people) tells me otherwise.

One of my favorite hang spots in downtown Brooklyn/Borum Hill. Wines on tap around $10, bottle Pinot around $12. Beers $7-9. Lots of local taps. Exceptional mixed cocktails. Diane rox on Sundays.

How did I get so lucky to have a bar like Livingston Manor so close to my apartment?! It has proven to be a solid bar choice with every single half a dozen times that I've been here. Bartenders are super friendly and quick with the cocktails, which are always strong and leave me without complaints. The beer selection is plentiful and offers a decent variety. Sure, the bathrooms are a tad on the gross side and the smokers completely take over the small outdoor space, but neither of those things is enough to keep me away. I would describe the overall ambiance as fancy divey - dark, fairly large, yet somehow still cozy. I am all about their skylight - unique feature for a bar of this caliber. More times than not, I stay out way too late when I hit the Manor, but it's hard not to with their great music that always keeps me humming along and makes me forget that they stay open until 4am most nights. I still have not gotten around to trying any of the food, but I'm sure that is just around the corner in the near future.

Such a cool neighborhood bar! Friendly, talented bartenders, cool crowd with lots of regulars, great music, fab drinks. Wish this were in my hometown- I'd be here all the time. Worth checking out if you are in the area.

This is a great neighborhood bar that's often pretty busy during happy hour. They've got a little outdoor area in front, with a cozy and spacious bar on the inside. It expands all the way to the back which has more private little tables. Drinks are decently priced and their bar is well stocked. They've also got some bites on their menu if you need a light meal or a snack. Check this place out if you're around!

5 Stars for a cocktail bar that would be on my regular, multiple-times-a-week rotation if I lived nearby. Walking in, I heard Mac Miller playing in the background and a great crowd enjoying what appeared to be finely crafted cocktails (not a margarita mix in sight) and I knew Yelp had led us in the right direction once again. The bartender, a casually dressed dude with a beard, greeted us at the bar and asked what we had in mind. They had a nice little cocktail menu, but I was unsure and let him know I was leaning towards something whiskey-based, that wasn't sweet, and wasn't your typical old fashioned. He quickly suggested something he'd been making which was similar to an old fashioned but with a sick kick from ancho chili syrup. This drink, along with a tequila and sherry drink my companion ordered, was right on the mark. It wasn't too sweet (which for me, is a low barrier), and the bite hit you at the end in a subtle fashion towards the back of the throat. My friend's drink left a taste of sherry in your mouth that was delightful and helped me forget about the tequila (bad past with tequila). Beyond that, the ambiance and music went from great, to epic. With Mystical playing as we were leaving, making me reminisce HARD about those nights out at the club in college. Ahhh, the early 2000s... May we never forget... The highlight of the bar though was the bartender. I didn't catch his name, but this dude would have me coming back night after night. And the tunes.

This is a very cool bar. They have great appetizers, cocktails, draught beers and wines. This is a nice size with plenty of seating and even a little outdoor space. Bartenders and servers are always very cool and attentive. Good place to meet with friends. Can get pretty crowded in the evenings.

We were visiting Brooklyn from California and we were testing out a bunch of bars. But this one was a real good find! The Bartender was awesome, very friendly and he had made a drink of the night. "Hearing aid" couldn't tell you what was in it, but it was delicious and had so many fancy mixing and things to it. Burned a cinnamon stick which I really Liked! Also I ordered a pina colada which was super yummy! Not too sweet at all.

I have found my new favorite bar! I would live in this place if I was a resident of downtown Brooklyn. We were bar hopping since we only had one night in the area, but loved this place and my drink so much that we came back for our night cap. When we returned there were 4 bar tenders instead of the three earlier. The vibe coming from this place is fantastic. It seems inconspicuously tucked away, because it has a great little porch before the entrance. The front wall is a large door and huge windows with seating on both sides. When you enter you will see there are multiple options for seating with five high tables and a concrete bar that stretches the length of the space. In the back is more seating and another small outdoor space. The lighting is uniquely industrial. I drooled over the large circular antique mirrors that balance the wall behind the bar. They play a mix of music that I appreciated. The bar tenders were very friendly, had great smiles, and fast for creative cocktail place. They were good at multitasking as would make a drink and take your order at the same time. They had an impressive cocktail, beer, wine and food list. The prices are normal for a nice cocktail bar. I sipped on, well tried to sip on, the Corner stone. It was a red currant infused vodka with cognac, fresh lemon, cherry jam, topped with Prosecco. I am a sucker for a cocktail topped with Prosecco. My hubby enjoyed the local gin with tonic. Since we were only staying for one round and nibble we opted for the deviled eggs. They were scrumptious. We liked addition of frishee greens, pickled fennel (?) and green sauce. We saw another table get the veggie sandwich which we were eyeing on the menu and it looked delicious as well. The people who got it didn't leave a crumb on their plate so I think I can assume they enjoyed it.

Joe and Lindsey are fantastic bartenders! We went late late late for a nightcap a couple weeks ago, just three of us ladies. We grabbed a beer and chilled for a while. Really nice atmosphere, and a gem in Downtown Brooklyn. While we were there, a man started hitting on my friend. It was unwanted and aggressive. (I won't go into detail). In seconds, both Joe and Lindsey were swatting the man away, and the bouncers were dragging him out the door. SEE YA. Then we continued our egregious amounts of drinking, took some shots with our two heroes and headed home around 3am. A delightful evening.

My friends and I found this gem while figuring out what to do on an unseasonably warm fall night. We came across this place and fell in love right way. It is dimly lit, and tastefully decorated. My friends really enjoyed their drinks, and we shared an amazing cheese & meat plate. There bar menu was small but filled with some really great selections. This place was really enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

There happens to be a staggering number of figures in early American history named Robert Livingston, all of whom are bound by knots in the blood. The town for which this bar is named, as well as the street just beyond, are both named for Roberts Livingston, who were cousins and contemporaries, yet not the same person. One ruled over an anachronistically feudal estate in the Catskills; the other was the master mason who swore in George Washington as the first president, a singular act marking the beginning of centuries of uniquely American paranoia. The Livingston bloodline tangles into those represented by many other New York streets: Bleecker, Cortlandt, Clinton, Van Ness, and so on and so forth, concrete threads of conspiracy. Outlandish legends readily spread of a population of escaped crocodiles making their home beneath them, as well as of lizard-like beings secretly controlling American politics while wearing human skin. Such stories seem absurd until we remember that the reptilian cortex underlies all of our higher brain functions; that every supposedly rational belief of man is built atop the thrashings of a terrified, skull-shelled tortoise. That being said, the Illuminati are real. You can often find them on commuter planes between LaGuardia and Logan, as well as throughout the Under East Side, holed up in bars run by the troglodytes of antiquity. These establishments are torchlit and densely-packed, accommodations intended to compensate for their ectothermal nature. There they decide on the taxes in blood that each earthly nation shall pay while devouring handfuls of tempura-battered cigarettes like popcorn. Fortunately, this is not an Illuminati bar. There are no exchanges of mermaid fingernails for drinks, no ice blocks congealed from the tears of endangered species. This is a place for the warm-blooded. Weaving spiders come not here.

This spot is a breath of fresh air in a part of town that isn't really know for good bars. We were meeting some friends before a movie at Alamo, and needed a place to unwind before we went in. We could have, of course, gone to house of wax (which is an OK bar in its own right, and is located inside Alamo), but wanted something different that night. They suggested Livingston and we agreed. Happy we did, as we found a new spot that we will be sure to return to. Walking up, its hard to miss how dramatically the neighborhood is changing. Huge new residential buildings are really taking over, and its starting to feel a lot more like downtown Manhattan than ever before. Leaving aside if this is a good thing or not, it really is interesting to see how Livingston fits in. The space doesn't feel new (like its neighbors), but it also doesn't feel out of place. Its cool that a place like this can fit in so well in a space that is so fluid. The bar dominates the interior (as you might expect...at a bar), but there are plenty of tables and booths to be had (not a bad choice for a larger group). The staff was friendly enough, and their HH beer prices are not bad at all for what might be considered a pricey neighborhood. I didn't try a cocktail, but the one's I saw being made looked pretty solid. The bar was pretty full on the Friday we went, but considering the options of the neighborhood, that wasn't really surprising. That said, if you're coming with more than four, I'd make an effort to get here early for one of the larger tables. If you're really lucky, you can grab one of the small tables outside (and if you sit long enough, a new building might spring up in front of you...) All in all, this place is a solid call; I've no doubt this will be my new go to if I'm in the area.

The sandwiches from Molto Stretto were absolutely amazing! I could go every day & try something different! The calabrian chili spread gave my sandwich this delicious slow heat. Such a great find! I'm definitely going back!

Stopped into Livingston Manor for happy hour on Friday. Decent food, decent drinks, decent prices, but nothing that left me with the urge to head back. Quality: Livingston Manor is a pretty standard bar. Falling somewhere between cocktail and dive, it serves up drinks and a limited food menu. I went with a few beers from the happy hour selection. Nothing crazy, but a few local options and okay variety. I also shared a Meat & Cheese Board. They leave the compilation of your three selections up to you. We went one cured meat, one soft cheese, and one hard cheese. The options constantly change, which adds some variety. What came on our board was good, though I think they could have made it look a bit prettier. Quantity: A fair sized Meat & Cheese Board and solid beer pours. Value: $26 for a Meat & Cheese Board. $2 off Draft Beers during happy hour, leaving most options between $4 and $6. Ambiance: Livingston Manor is found along an alley in Downtown Brooklyn. They have a tiny patio outside, which was occupied by smokers our entire visit, and then a decent sized indoor area. The bar sits on the left wall, while high tops spread around the front space. The back area of the bar is a bit more cozy and private. A mix of brick, concrete, and wood, industrial accents, and a classic rock playlist should all be expected. Unfortunately, nothing that really stands out. Crowd: A good sized crowd for happy hour. Always a few seats available, but busy enough and a fun group. Service: Quick and helpful service. Appreciated the bartender who went out of his way to get us drinks even after we moved to a table. Parking: No easy parking in the area.

Was exploring Brooklyn with a friend and they recommended this place from a resent visit during the holiday pop up. It was a Sunday night, so very chill. We sat at a table, no menus on the table and no acknowledgement or instruction from the staff (hence the stars). Luckily, seats opened at the bar and we moved. Once there the girl bartender was friendly and pleasant and the drinks we ordered were SUPER delicious (cranberry club and non alcoholic spiced hot chocolate). I'd go again, but as a customer definitely felt a bit unimportant initially.

In the depths of the downtown Brooklyn area it can be hard to find a good place to get a drink. Luckily Livingston Manor now exists. Came here for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised. An excellent array of beers, cocktails, and wine. All at an excellent price. Playing some good tunes, sippin on some whiskey, and hanging out with my girl, I couldn't be happier. Happy Hour does get a little crowded so make sure you come a little earlier to find your nook. I still would like to come by and check it out at night, I've heard great things. Maybe you should too.

Downtown Brooklyn has definitely changed. I lived in BK x over 20yrs. Recently went to visit a friend living in the newly re-established buildings now converted into condos. He suggested to go for a drink nearby, I thought maybe head over to Court street area. Surprised I was to be on Livingston St. I certainly knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore. Anyway, I won't turn this post into the gentrification of Fulton St. We got there a bit around midnight (Thursday?). Not packed but there were several people still there getting their drank on. Seats were available by the bar. Waitress was friendly enough. Atmosphere is "dark". We stayed for 2 drinks each, chatted with some other friendly patrons. It's still a distance from where I live but I would like to try the Happy Hr. Glad to see the space around there is drumming up some life to it.

A speakeasy-like bar in the middle of an underdeveloped Downtown Brooklyn street! So glad I discovered this spot. It's sandwiched between some beat down buildings and maybe a grocery store, but once you step in, it's like you're in another world. I absolutely LOVE the smell in here...you know the cocktails will not disappoint. They must change the cocktail menu quite frequently so unless you are willing to gamble, I recommend asking the bartender as the Yelp pics from a few months ago might be old news. The jamon y queso sandwich is soooooo good and flavorful. I didn't really enjoy the meatballs, but highly recommend the sandwich. This spot is a must try!

This place was fucking amazing! Sandwiches are literally the best thing on earth! Drinks are delicious and the hospitality is honestly great! I loved the baristas and their friendly personalities. Definitely will be coming more often, you need to try the pesto turkey sandwich!!

Came here on a Friday night to meet up with some coworkers and had a horrible experience. Don't come here hungry as their food menu is skimp with just meat and cheese platters. No options for people with dietary restrictions. Not even French fries! The waitress who was working our table was extremely rude and condescending after screwing up our requests. It was horrible. First she "didn't hear me" order a garden salad. Then it took forever to arrive at our table. THEN my glass of wine had a miscellaneous substance in it and she seemed annoyed with us for reporting it to her. She brought back a new glass with the only attitude. It was also very clear from where I was sitting that she was talking crap about me to her colleague at the bar. I'm not sure if she was treating me this way because I'm a person of color or if she was just ticked off that night. Either way I won't be returning here again.

Livingston Manor NY Brooklyn downtown 11pm Saturday 11th April 2015 Five Stars Livingston Manor is a cool craft cocktail bar where you can find a reasonable priced drinks around $12, knowledgeable bartenders, and fun environment to hang out. We enjoyed: old fashion, sazerac, last word, corpse reviver #2, dark and stormy and Templeton whiskey. They have large ice cubes, fresh fruit, and nice glassware. It was good experience.

Good beers, good cocktails, a tiny backyard space, and a tiny frontyard sidewalk space. Big interior though. And cool bartenders and waitresses. I've also run into multiple people that I've known from high school and college here. Small world, but I guess this is where lawyers and law school kids like to hang out.

This was the first cocktail bar I went to when I moved to Brooklyn nearly two years ago, and it remains a favorite. The cocktail menu changes seemingly as frequently as the beer list--always something new to try. Last time, I went with one of my usual no-syrup/no-juice (i.e., all booze) selections and followed it up with a fun tiki-style drink. Both great. They also nail the classics every time I've requested one. The charcuterie is reasonably priced and well-portioned for sharing a snack or for one person's dinner. Atmosphere feels sophisticated without being stuffy or contrived. Usually bustling without being overcrowded--can always find a seat or two at the bar. Love it.

This is a great spot to hang out on the weekend! The cocktails are very good and they have some decent small bites to go along with them. Their music playlist was excellent but this doesn't seem like the type of spot where you'd want to start dancing. Getting a seat at the bar was pretty easy on a Saturday night and pricing was roughly 20% cheaper than what you would pay at a similar caliber place in the LES. The actual cocktail list is pretty small and they didn't seem to have much flexibility behind the bar, but it might have just been that it was a Saturday night. For the folks that enjoy foamy drinks (egg whites) served in an UP glass, this is an excellent place to visit. As far as the food goes, the bacon mac n cheese was good, but I would prefer less breadcrumbs on top. The pork belly sandwich was also good, but it needed a little hit of spice (sriracha aoli maybe?). Deviled eggs were perfect.

Dana M.

Yelp
Good bar for after work/ end of day drinks! They have a big selection of different types of beers and also a good happy hour. We were able to reserve a table for the group but probably wouldn't have had to wait anyway (it was a Wednesday night).

I remember coming here for the first time this summer. I used to work in downtown Brooklyn and was not keen to the idea of returning. It was strange to hear that there was a new wine bar in town and right smack in the middle of downtown Brooklyn. How could this be? When I walked in there was an outdoor front patio, walking in there's window seating, then the bar, tall tables on the side and then a back seating area and super high ceiling with warm lighting. If you have read my reviews you know I love a varierty of seating areas, sometimes you want to be by yourself and other times maybe with a friend. Last week I was catching up with old co workers, two of them still work at Metrotech so Livinston Manor was a hop, skip and a jump from work. Coming in from the city took me awhile but there are so many train options in downtown BK. When I arrived my friends had already ordered crafty beers and one even ventured into the cocktails. I had to go for my usual IPA but I have had the vino and cocktails here and everyting has been mouthwatering. We decided on gettting some nibbles. There was four of us so we figured a cheese plate would suffice. The boys also ordered deviled eggs and the "Jambon Beurre", serrano ham with salted butter on a baguette. I don't eat meat but I'm a sucker for deviled eggs. They did not desappoint. And the boys split the sandwich and quickly realized their mistake. They devoured the simple sandwich and sang it's praises. They quickly ordered a round two. I on the other hand was under the spell of the cheese plate. CHEESE!! A huge reason I couldn't join the vegan bandwagon in high school. I love cheese. This plate had something creamy, something stinky and something hard. The cheese plate came with the tangy and fruity pear compote and figs and the earthy, warm walnuts. You just layer up a little of this and a little of that on the crostini and it's a cheese party in your mouth. The cheese plate was so good we ordered ANOTHER CHEESE PLATE. I know...there's four of us...we each ate half a cheese plate...don't judge us. I only associate with the best cheese inhalers in town. This place is a gorgeous and romatic wine bar in dowtown Brooklyn. And if this is what gentrification looks and taste like then it can't all be that bad. Thanks to the people who brought us Crowne Heights "Crown Inn", you've done it again!!

This was a great spot for happy hour! So many of their beers and wines were discounted which made it a great deal. It was perfect for a friend and I hanging out, but is also great for groups. There is a cute outdoor space which makes it perfect for the spring and summer months when it is nice out. Because this place is in Brooklyn, it has much more space than similar bars in Manhattan Would definitely go back and try some cocktails but stuck to happy hour deals this time!

This is a charming little spot in Downtown Brooklyn that's easy to miss (small 'Manor' sign that can get lost in the shuffle between avenues). I've only been a couple of times, but the staff has always been friendly, the music's never been too loud, and it's always had an overall great ambiance for a lowkey hang.

Convenient location in downtown brooklyn but slightly strange vibe. Cocktails were mediocre but high prices for Brooklyn. Decent customer service.

Friendly, hopping spot in cool Downtown Brooklyn. It was busy on Saturday night but we had a nice birthday corner in the back with a table, chairs, and everything. Bartenders were young warlocks--fresh and friendly, knew their stuff. I only had beers but lots of people were getting cocktails. Wonder what that's all about. Try one, perhaps.

Great bar in downtown Brooklyn, bartenders are friendly and most attentive . I can honestly say joe and Diana are my friends now for life! :) I'm tempted to rate this place low so it doesn't get too crowded!
