Merv’s Bar

Social Profile:

Merv’s is the kind of bar that feels like a well-worn, yet timeless escape. The dimly lit space is bathed in warm orange and brown hues, creating a cozy, welcoming vibe that wraps around you like a familiar friend. The ambiance is a perfect blend of Honky Tonk grit, 70s rock nostalgia, and laid-back charm. Vintage wood paneling lines the walls, with faded neon signs casting a soft glow over worn leather stools and wooden tables. The jukebox hums with classic rock anthems, while a steady hum of conversation fills the air, all set against the rustic backdrop of old-school bar decor.It’s the kind of place where the drinks are strong, the music is always just right, and time seems to slow down, inviting you to settle in and stay awhile.

Tiki-inspired cocktails, board games & inventive pub grub are the draw at this rustic-chic tavern.

Great neighborhood spot with affordable prices, a good happy hour, and quality drinks. Not doing too much but a good spot if you want something that’s not quite a dive or a more fancy cocktail vibe.

Small, local ‘dive’ bar. Staff is friendly and inviting. Atmosphere is basic but warm. Food is limited small menu but tasty. Drinks are good. Not bad pricing either. Came for drag brunch. Had fun. Will definitely go back.

What a great, fun, relaxed, casual spot that’ll make you feel like you’re hanging out in the coolest den around. Great employees, delicious food, good music… and even though the drinks and East are inexpensive, it’s all done with care and an impressive to detail. One a date, with a group, or just out to make new friends, I highly recommend it!

Everything here was good drinks,ambiance, prices etc until it came to using the Touchtune Machine. My friend & I purchased a ton of credits and queued up music that I would consider safe to play or widely known with other patrons (People were dancing) and then all of sudden machine gets shut down completely and bartender tells us “Oh there was system malfunction” meanwhile, there was no issue before when the other few songs played. Well, more than likely happened was management wasn’t a fan of The genre of tunes and decided to override and shut it off on purpose. What’s the point of having the machine in there if you don’t want people paying and picking out songs?

I really like hanging out here and I want to give the service workers the benefit of the doubt but someone literally stole my food from the kitchen before it was delivered to my table and the bartender was like “this has happened three times in the past week.” She refunded my order (from her tip money which felt wrong to take but I had paid cash) but by that time I was hungry and the kitchen had closed. Speaks more to the bad behavior of some of the guests I suppose. People just hang around and try to steal free food straight from the kitchen window I guess…? Some lowlifes hanging around.

I thought places like this went extinct in Bushwick years ago. Great place with genuine staff and no forced interactions. Great beer selection, drink specials, and a kitchen that’s open late hours. May I add their food selection is pretty great.

Whether you’re there solo or with a friend, you’ll have a good time. Feels like a comfortable neighborhood bar in a rapidly changing neighborhood.

Great food but unwelcoming bartender… as if they’re mad they have to serve you. I would go back for the food, but I hope a different bartender is there.

Nice tiki bar in Brooklyn! I went toward the end of Covid regulations in NYC (May 2021) just when things were opening up a bit more. Our drinks were tasty and the place had a cool vibe. I especially liked controlling the Jukebox with our Spotify playlist. You have to pay to do it, but it was fun regardless.
