The A Brooklyn

I came here about two months ago and had an amazing experience. A manager named Brandon gave me some of the best service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Unfortunately, when I came back for the New Year’s party, the experience was completely different. My coat was stolen, and the new managers were terrible. No one took responsibility or helped me at all. Because of this, I was forced to walk home in the cold, which was unacceptable. Terrible experience. The manager, Chad, told me he had my coat, but it wasn’t where he said it was. He told me to “hold on and wait,” then did absolutely nothing to help. I waited and nothing ever happened. It’s disappointing to see how much this place has gone downhill. Great service before, but now it’s completely unorganized and careless.

This place was great! from the service to the food to the overall vibe. I went on a ladies night and they had an excellent drink menu with really good prices. The food selection was decent, but the vibe and the DJ set were the highlight. 90s, 2000s, and current R&B strictly for the ladies made it such a vibe. Definitely a great spot to let loose after a long week.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE I would strongly advise people not to visit this venue. My jacket was lost/stolen from the coat check, even though I was issued a coat check ticket. That alone shows a major failure in basic security procedures. What made it worse was the response: staff and security were indifferent and dismissive, offering no real solution, no responsibility, and no sense of urgency. A place that offers a coat check but cannot safeguard guests’ belongings is simply not trustworthy.

DO NOT waste your time here - I would never try them again. Decided to give this bar a try for the SEC Championship, as it is advertised as a new "Georgia" bar in addition to American Whiskey. Unfortunately this was the worst experience of my entire life visiting a restaurant. None of the 4+ TVs were synced, so we were not able to have sound. The internet happened to go out right before kick off so we ended up not being able to watch the game, and not a SINGLE employee showed up to work that day. The owner was the one taking orders, and this ended up making everything take even longer. We never got our food, and ended up having to leave the bar in the middle of one of the biggest games of the season to find another spot.

Not only do they charge for coat check, but they also fail to prevent coats from being stolen and take no responsibility afterward. Our coats were stolen and we had to go home without any coats in the middle of NYC’s freezing winter night. Poor management, careless staff, and an unpleasant environment. Don’t waste your money going there.

Just happened to be walking by and decided to try it out. The vibe is very relaxed. The food and drinks were good and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great looking garden where in the warmer months will be a jumpin!!!

I never write reviews for restaurants because I usually try to give places the benefit of the doubt. However, my experience here was genuinely disappointing. I witnessed behavior from the staff that felt openly homophobic and it created an uncomfortable and unnecessary atmosphere. The food arrived undercooked and the service moved at a very slow pace. I hope the management takes a serious look at the culture they are creating because restaurants should feel welcoming to everyone. I do not recommend dining here.

My jacket was stolen at this venue from the coat check. While the staff said they would help, it didn’t feel effective and we were ultimately sent home. Overall, the situation was handled poorly and left us very disappointed.

This is one of The Ainsworth's newest locations right in Williamsburg. But like their other locations, The Ainsworth is a vibe, the music is very loud, but the staff was still super attentive. Of course we got the signature Mac and cheese burger, a few other entrees, and their boozy drink option, for brunch, all of which were pretty good.
