Now she has a delivery service, and her soups are stocked at various locations in New York and New Jersey. This Wednesday, she continues her weekly panini and soup pop-up at Wandering Barman in East Williamsburg featuring sweet potato jackfruit chili, bbq mushroom and onion paninis, and more. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Always a great time! Over 10 cocktails on draft which is made in the same facility. Happy hour cocktails are $5 instead of $11. Happy hour is from 5pm - 7pm daily. They have an All Day Happy Hour on Monday from 5pm - Close . I have yet to try the coffee or food. I can only speak on the service and drinks. Most of the bartenders are cool. Grey place to do some work , environment is never loud . Great place to throw private events too . Try La Niña (margarita) , still one of my favorite drinks here

We just happened to visit Wandering Barman this past Sunday at 3:00pm. We had no idea that, one, they had Happy Hour Cocktails (for $5!!!) from 3:00-4:00 and, two, there was an incredible performance that was about to start. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, the design of the space is so different from other bars in the neighborhood (and Brooklyn in general). You could feel the community vibes wholeheartedly! The staff was so great too!! Go see this place and support them!

One of the best happy hours around - $5 on-tap cocktails. They make shelf-stable bottled cocktails and then have them on tap as well. They also have a selection of beers and wine. There's no food on the menu but you can bring your own food orders in.

Found this place randomly and now we can’t wait to go back! I had their spritzer which was so light and refreshing. Then we tried a flight of their top cocktails and each were so different and uniquely delicious! Great atmosphere for a an intimate date or hangout if you’re looking for a place to talk and lounge. Chris was great company and so knowledgeable about spirits and their creative process for concocting their drink menu. Finally, they have a $5 happy hour, which we need to come back for!

We had a 60th Birthday Party for my Twin brother and sister, the service was great. The affair was catered and the staff assisted with everything needed.

Came here on a weeknight and it was pretty dead but the bartender was so kind and attentive. Loved his recommendations! The concept of premade batch cocktails seems weird but they are actually delicious and some creative mixes! Also, super affordable! I bet on a busy night this place is super fun!

while wandering around Williamsburg, found this oasis of a craft-y bar that happens to serve a coffee menu...in a nowhere zone of East Williamsburg. an unusually warm day in October got me in need of chilled caffeine. the modern interior with spaces of color is really spacious with some seating options (there's some , but most of the setup is really for a mingle-y bar space as opposed to a coffee shop vibe. the coffee menu has the basic covered -- ordered an Iced Americano and the quality of the coffee was good and did its job--cooling and caffeinating. definitely would come back again for another coffee or an adult beverage BUT it is more of a destination as the immediate area does not have much going on as it feels fairly industrial though I am sure that is changing via gentrification, development, etc. the service was friendly.

Ended up coming for coffee (which is stellar) but thoroughly intrigued by the draft craft cocktails! Incredible decor, and the staff is amazing as well. “I’ll be back!”

Wandering Batman, better known as those premixed cocktails you find in wine shops, has a whole bar in Bushwick that's pretty fun. It has a weird ambiance, iridescent plastic sheets dividers with neon signs and a concrete bar -- feels like it belongs in a Nicolas Winding Refn movie. I've only ever been here at happy hour (in part because it's like $5 a drink at happy hour!!! Best deal in town!!) when it's super dead but even then I honestly enjoy how chill it is. The drinks are all pretty good, theyre all premixed cocktails on tap -- I'm partial to the mezcal or gin based cocktails myself. I do sometimes wish they offered just well drinks but respect the fact that that doesnt make sense given their brand. The bartenders are chill... i dunno, it's just a nice easy going place. PS, in the AM they sell good coffee.

Happy Hour deal was good. Used to drink their cocktails during pandemic, pretty boozy.

My relationship with Wandering Batman has been unlike any other Bar. Period. This place is the secret gem that I don't want to share, but deserves nothing but recognition. Let's set the mood: we've got a chill & cozy dimly lit cement poured countertop establishment. They have some of the best lighting featuring real hand blown neon and plant leaves on their wall panels. They have 40 taps with 12 house cocktails, 4 non-alcoholic cocktails, 10 beers, 3 wines, & spirits. You can also add a shot to any drink +$4, (+5 mezcal). My favorite secret: 4-7 happy hour everyday of the week for $5 a drink. No cap Fam, you won't find a better deal. $5! That's the best price you can find anywhere innit. There is absolutely no other place that has seltzer for serve on draft. Such a gem The service here is impeccable. They take care of you, making you feel like the master of your abode. You will feel heard and loved. Coworker told me to swing by during the day and we came across a music/ dance performance as we were served delicious coffee. The barista that says recognized my homie and was ready with his drink as soon as he walked in. That's special. You don't get that type of service at Starbizzle.

Great bar with a beautiful vibe and background music! All the drinks are on tap so the bar has a very minimalist feeling which is nice in NY. Our bartender Ian was great and walked us through the best drinks to order

Stylish place. I came here for an event and the ambiance was nice . There's only premade drinks but they were ok .

I honestly only came to this place for the drink menu. Spacious bar my kinda style. Service was outstanding. I had order two drinks and they where delicious wasn't water down. The area is industrialized so you honestly don't want to walk alone.

Spacious bar and lounge located in a industrial part of Brooklyn. Came here with a large group and they handled our group extremely well. Service was quick and excellent throughout the evening. Nice selection of draft beers and cocktails. Beers were mostly craft with a good, local representation. Two restrooms; both were spacious and gender neutral; one was handicap accessible. Interesting bar menu. They got a few pizzas, some vegetarian options, and a canned dish section. Seems fitting for a bar in what's now called East Williamsburg.
