The NYC Bar Hit List: Great New Bars In NYC

"The hottest place to sweat this summer is the outdoor sidewalk seating at Rodeo, where you can submit to the heat with a glass of chilled red, and onion dip topped with trout roe. But if the outdoor seating at this Crown Heights bar is packed, head inside, where there's a few big tables for groups, daily cocktails (recently a mezcal paper plane), and floor-to-ceiling windows that let every ounce of daylight in. We’ve heard rumors they’ll be opening a dance floor next door soon, which means you can wear your most impractical shoes, and stay out the whole night without ever leaving the same block on President Street.

"If pairing earthy reds with a mortadella, sharp cheddar, and a mustard toastie or anchovies is up your alley, you should know about Rodeo. The natural wine and cocktail bar in Crown Heights will host pop-ups through the summer, and looks like an ideal spot to lean back in a metal chair out on the sidewalk and drink a chilled glass of wine. Everyone has one of those places, right? Not just us?" - will hartman

NYC Restaurant Openings, June 2024 | Eater NY

"A natural wine bar from Rhodora alums that’s already contending for bar of the summer, pairing a natural bottle list with a small food menu that includes items like a mortadella sandwich; the bar is attached to a record shop run by DJs Chances With Wolves." - Eater Staff

Rodeo - Review - Crown Heights - New York - The Infatuation

"You won’t find cowboy hats or a mechanical bull at Rodeo, but this Crown Heights bar is still a fun place to hang out. The brick-walled spot on President Street has a few large booths where you and all your friends can squeeze in, and a bright red bar with a bucket of open wine bottles. There’s also a daily cocktail—like a not-too-sweet mezcal paper plane—and bar snacks like heavily spiced peanuts and Anthony's famous onion dip. (The folks behind Ha’s Đặc Biệt—one of whom is named Anthony—helped designed the menu here.) On warm days, the outdoor seating in the front gets packed, but the floor-to-ceiling windows make every seat inside the best one. Come for a solo mortadella toastie at the bar, or with a group for a few bottles of perfectly chilled reds and oranges. photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore Pause Unmute" - Willa Moore

Cozy vibe inside, love the lighting and layout. Sat at the bar and ordered some of the food; the chips and dip were good (a slight sweetness to the dip), and the ham and cheese toastie was nice, but definitely would’ve loved some more ham to make it a bit more filling. Cocktails were good, especially the one with mango.

Love love love this bar - my favorite is coming in during the off hours on like a Tuesday, but even when it’s PACKED you can typically still find room on the dance floor or in the record shop. Great place to feel the energy of the neighborhood. But do know: it’s not a big place, so probs not best to randomly bring a group of 10 people at prime time on a Friday/Saturday night. Unless you’re group is super chill and patient haha

Cute, cozy bar with nice vibes and great drinks. The wine selection is a bit pricey, but well curated. The cider and IPA were phenomenal.

Okay this place is really cute and I love the layout so that you can either dance or chill but I will say I went out with friends and it was not the vibe for meeting new people because people seem to sort of stick to themselves or are with their partners already, but maybe that’s the neighborhood idk

This bar attracts a very rowdy crowd. I partially grew up in Crown Heights, so I know this area very well pre-gentrification. Friday and Saturday nights are extremely anxiety inducing. The music is extremely loud. There are too many patrons making the sidewalk inaccessible for other neighborhood and block residents. The bar doesn’t look inviting or welcoming and I find that this is a huge nuisance. I don’t know why they were allowed to open this place on a residential street like this. The crowd, mostly young, whiter patrons are extremely obnoxious. There’s frequent trash around this bar, loud crowds walking on President street (where I live) making it hard to enjoy a nights sleep and arguments between drunk people. I’ll address this at the next Community Board meeting because something needs to be done about how they operate. It’s unfair to long time residents of this neighborhood in my opinion. The patrons and the owner are clearly uninterested in respecting residents on the block.

Perfect ambiance with delightful people. Exposed brick, fun lamps, and delicious drinks. Bartender Sophie was awesome — accommodated our requests and gave a great overview of the different offerings. Will be coming back here! 🍷❤️

Very nice atmosphere and good sandwiches! I had the tuna and it tasted very fresh. Their mustard is amazing.

Really cool spot, with a great selection of wines and drinks. Love the decor of the place and the dance room in the back. They definitely need another bathroom and a way to keep air circulating inside the space. Once the room was packed, it started to smell like a gym.
