Tradesman

Whether it's the pre-game hour, the evening nightcap, or a place to simply enjoy a strong cocktail while pondering life, Tradesman has been an easy imbibe hole for all occasions. It's a perfect place for a gathering or a solo drink session and I would consider coming back every time.

I have enjoyed many a cocktail here and appreciate that even during select weekends that the flow of people here is never too overwhelming and the vibe is care free. A big sell is their massive outdoor patio. It's been a perfect area for group gathering opportunities and a nice departure from the intimate interior which seems good for date nights and solo night caps.

Ambiance and drink options aside, I really appreciate the customer service from the bartenders and staff. They've always remained friendly and are super laid back most of the time. It's a nice break from the pretentious nightlife venue options in Williamsburg.

I've never had any of their food. However, seeing as I enjoy being here, I'd never hesitate to try any of their dishes. I think I'll make that a priority for my next visit.

I came here for a drink on a Wednesday night. There were about a dozen other people in the bar. They were playing lively jazz music. Very low lighting. Not too loud, so it was easy to have a conversation.

You can sit anywhere and order at the bar. They have happy hour until 8pm.

I got the hibiscus margarita. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but definitely fruity. The seasoned rim tasted like cinnamon.

They have a $15 minimum for cards. There are two single stall bathrooms.

It had a nice neighborhood vibe. I'd come again.

This is a perfect bar to look sad and brooding in while crouched over an Old Fashioned. Just take one look at the exposed brick, mahogany furniture, and warm lighting from the glow of all the candles and you'll see exactly what I mean. The aesthetic in their spacious backyard is decidedly different-- more community potluck vibes than the early aughts cool interior that would've made this place super popular a decade ago. Basically this place doesn't try too hard, and could probably get away with charging more than $10-$12 for their cocktails but they don't. For all of that, plus their very chill backyard, I like it here.

I spent a whole summer evening on a balmy night here, having drinks with friends. It was so refreshing to have so much space to walk around and be as loud as you want. We threw back many shots, imbibed their tasty cocktails, and had ourselves a time. If you're looking for something low key and inexpensive, look no further than Tradesman.

The service took so long, and there was some serious sass from the staff. It's not like it was packed, but we waited at least 45 minutes for our food, which was overpriced and not that good. Will not be returning.

Really fun date spot, the drinks were great, the music was a perfect volume so you could still speak with your party. I'd definitely go back for their happy hour margaritas!

Solid neighborhood bar right off the Montrose stop with a huge backyard and plenty of indoor seating. Solid happy hour- an ale and a lager available for $5 each and some cocktails for a few dollars more. Definitely recommend for a quick hang after work or chill evening.

Friends and I have been coming to this bar for the last few years, on and off. Always great service and relaxing vibes.

Last night, one of the owners helped out with my birthday gathering and reserved a small section. Super easy process and connected me with a vendor that was doing a pop-up service in their kitchen. Food came out in perfectly timed staggered servings that kept my friends fed! Great drinks and service overall last night, had a great time.


Pichu Pichu - not sure how often they do pop-up service at Tradesman but link below, food was great!

Stopped in for a drink. And had an excellent one. Small bar, crowded. Pleasant look. My friend and I had really delicious cocktails. Unfortunately I don't remember the names. Hers was Hibiscus and mine was Mezcal and cider and jalapeño. Mine might sound bad to you, but it was especially good. Well balanced, not too much of anything going on. So glad we stopped here.
PS they have no food. We had to run across the street for chips...

First bar that I've sat within their space since the pandemic started. We passed by and saw a sign where they said they were open but entrance is in the back. We ventured around the block to find a beautiful and spacious patio of several tables, all within good distance away from one another. I believe they are also dog friendly, given the dog bowl of water (and my friend brought her dog).

You order from a small window and they bring out your food/drinks to you. I'd say they have a good sanitary protocol in place and would feel safe coming back. I would try their food next time.

This is someone's favourite bar -- but is certainly very far from MY favourite.

We were in the area for some shopping and decided to google a place for brunch. We landed upon this place which is really more of a bar then anything. Once you walk in there is a weird amount of dead space to the right, zero stools, just people awkwardly standing around...

I should have taken that weirdness as a sign but it was too late -- we had grab a seat in the corner and kind of stuck.

We were told around 11am that it was happy hour. Great! Drinks are five - six bucks each. Everything was fine until I looked up and noticed it was cash only. Really annoying but okay fine. We scramble together some dollars.

We got two breakfast burgers. Keep in mind they inform you to be "Extra patient." The kitchen is three hot plates sectioned off in the corner of the bar behind two makeshift walls......

Basically, after the bar was built - somebody was like, "yOu knOW wHaT woUlD bE kEwL??? iF wE maDe FOoOdd!"

It's very obviously an after thought considering the entire layout of the bar is very poor.

Other yelpers are upset their food took too long. We had read the little sign so knew what was up.

Not the best place to go to when you're starving.

Our waitress finally shows up with our burgers and they're the smallest portions in the world. It was almost insulting how little food we were given. ESPECIALLY the tater tots. The way they were scattered on the plate was just plain sad. It's as if someone was snacking on our plates before they came out.

The breakfast burger is just an english muffin with an egg on top on the burger. They charge you extra for any sort of garnish (No onions, no cheese, no bacon, no avocado.)

The burger was raw in the middle. (We weren't asked how we wanted our burger...I assumed cooked would be the default.)

It was the saddest brunch I've ever been to.

The whole thing was around 50 bucks.......and we left hungry.

Perfect place to go to if you want to starve to death and be overcharged while doing it.

Also guys, it's 2020. We know you want to avoid fees or save some money under the table but come on -- Square exist now.
