The sunny atmosphere and whimsical name of this bar reflect the experience. The bartenders and staff are super kind and accommodating. The drinks are great. Oftentimes they’re playing indie rock from the ’06 – ’14 golden era, which makes my little indie sleaze millennial heart happy. I recently tried their chicken sandwich and fries: 5 stars ladies and gentleman. Exactly what I was craving. Also, the back deck of Golden Years completely transports you out of the city, and into a small town backyard. We actually heard a freaking bird chirp back there. What are the odds.

This place was freaking great! My family and I were wandering around Brooklyn one night, trying to catch a bite to eat and stumbled upon this bar. Little did we know that they had great food and a really cool backyard for seating. The staff was very friendly and kind and the service was fast. If I’m ever back in the area, I will definitely have to stop by!

I finally came here for the first time and it was very nice. Nice bartender who doubled as the waiter (it was a slow time) we got the burger and chicken sandwich and both were very good. And I’m very picky about both, and they we’re both good quality meat. The chicken was a bit spicy and the burger was fully cooked (most people ignore my request for well done) and tasted like it was actually made fresh on a grill. They have a limited menu but it covered enough options and had a few brunch like items on the lunch menu. Nice atmosphere and I’ll have to check out the back yard in the nicer weather. A bit pricey but I guess it matches the quality, I’ll still go back.

I loved the space. The chicken sandwich was simple and tasty, and the bartenders are all great people. Coming here on a Friday right after work is a smart way to start your weekend. The place has a decent selection of beer, they have out outdoor patio (clutch), and it was so good I’m mentioning it a second time a really good chicken sandwich. 11/10 would go here again before summer is over, but heck I’ll be here in the winter too!

Like the other reviewer said “if you you’re looking for a bar where the staff treats you like you’re the problem” is very accurate.
I’ve never left a review for a bar before, but I’ve also never experienced someone being so rude and unwelcoming before either. Hostile is the only way I can describe it.
The management really needs to look at the attitude and service of their bartender. Although the backyard is nice I’m not coming back because this experience ruined it for me.

Bartender on Tuesday afternoon was standoffish and rude. Id understand if it was a busy bar but our patronage seemed like an inconvenience as it was empty.
I made a joke about not liking a beer and she gave a snarky rude response. Imagine not being able to shoot the shit with the bartender.
Better places to go for sure. 100% would not return here.

Usually I will defend a bartender’s right to be a little bit rude to customers but last night was beyond the pale. The behavior of this guy toward me for trying to order and pay for 3 drinks was so heinous that a hush fell over our entire side of the bar. Comically unprofessional. Go if you want but I pray for you.

Crispy Bahn mi chicken sandwich was tasty. A little spicy for the average person, but then again, that seems to be a food trend this past few years.
I also got soy ginger wings. A great flavor profile. For sure pair the proper drink so you get all that goodness going down. Weren’t the best inner seasoning but FOR sure not worst. I would get again if not getting a burger or something.
Bartender on the early shift seemed very chill and straight forward. I would definitely say they know their stuff

If you’re looking for a bar where the staff treats you like you’re the problem for trying to make their job easier, congratulations — you’ve found it.
Went to the bar as a group and, trying to be considerate, I compiled a full list of our drinks on my phone to make things easier for the bartender — you know, instead of having ten people shouting orders at him. I showed him the list, thinking it would be efficient. He took my phone, did something on his system, handed it back, and said, “I can’t remember.”
So, trying to be helpful, I said, “No problem, I can leave my phone here until you’re done — I’m going to sit over there.” No bad intentions whatsoever — just trying to keep things smooth for him. He didn’t object or say anything, so I assumed all was good.
Fast forward two minutes and here he comes, lecturing me with a bad attitude about how “that’s not how you order at a bar.” Oh, sorry — next time I’ll make sure to stand there and yell drinks over the noise like a real professional customer.
Later, after some conversation with my friend, he apologized and said he was “overworked.” Because, of course, the burden of his entire shift should land squarely on the customer who tried to make it easier, who is also very likely overworked. Makes total sense.
No matter how stressed you are, basic decency should never be optional. Customers aren’t your emotional punching bag. Thanks for the unforgettable experience — for all the wrong reasons.

Nice place with great happy hour specials and very friendly staff. Checkout the Patio in the back. It’s pretty and cozy.
