This is one of the most “Brooklyn” restaurant/cafes I’ve been to in the borough. As a non-vegan, the food was exceptional and probably had the best cup of coffee I’ve had in a while.

The atmosphere is what ties this all together, upon getting seated I realized how well the acoustics sounded topped off with some J Dilla to really set the mood.

Me and the wifey are coming back with friends!

Had a great night, DJs were great but it seemed like nobody was dancing and just chit chatting all over the dancefloor? Seems like a much younger crowd. (22-25) I guess in Boerum Hill there is no other comparable venue. No hate it was my first time here and I had a wonderful experience with my friends. Thank you ❤️

I was here for an event to listen to a new record that was being released tonight. It was a bit confusing once we arrived… there’s a restaurant, a club downstairs, a lounge/listening room upstairs. We initially went inside the restaurant and were told to go wait outside until a black door opened. When it opened, we stood in line to get our tickets and IDs checked but were told by the staff that we were upstairs, so we had to go back outside and enter another black door. We ended up going upstairs to the listening room that had a small bar in the back. It’s a nice area; brightly lit during the day but intimate once the sun sets but extremely hot inside (they only had the windows open). Got a couple of beers (from Threes Brewing) to drink while listening to the entire record. It was pretty cool since the artist, Eliana Glass, was sitting right next to us since her friends were sharing a table with us. We didn’t realize it was her until we overheard their convo. She ended up performing a couple of her songs live. Definitely an interesting experience that we would have no clue about if Spotify hadn’t informed us of the free ticketed event.

Great vibe, very chill when we went but I can tell it’ll be buzzing at other times. Love the sound system, the cocktails and the vegan menu!

Can’t speak for the restaurant but have been here many times. They have a great sound system (maybe one of the best), free water, and many bathrooms. Drinks prices were slightly above average and the staff is nice. My only qualm is the crowd can be unpredictable. There have been a few shows I have been to where the crowd seemed to forget that they are at a dance show. One particular instance was at an Overmono DJ set where multiple people were upset at dancers because they just wanted to observe. Another downside but completely out of control is that sometimes for their outdoor shows you can smell Gowanus

Came here for a friend’s birthday. I didn’t know what to expect but I was absolutely mindblown. Every dish was the best dish. There are real artists working in the kitchen. Our cocktails hit. The dessert was phenomenal. Huge shout out to our server/ our guide Roue. She was a huge part of our experience. Highly recommend everything here. & the music ✨️

I rarely say this, especially while I’m still at the restaurant, but I will definitely be coming back — and I want to show this place to all my friends. It’s truly a fantastic spot! I loved every dish we tried. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, the ambiance was wonderful, and even the background sounds added to the charm.

There’s just one thing that needs improvement: the toilets are overloaded and have a strong smell.

This is *the* spot. Insanely good vibes. Vinyl playing. Cool people working. Coffee + pastries available when you walk in OR you can get seated + order a full meal. We came on a Sunday for brunch. Menu was 10/10. Will def be back. Apparently it turns into a club at night. ✨

Public records a restaurant during the day and at night turns into a club. Beautiful sound systems and both rooms in the restaurant and in the main room. They also have a 3rd floor with a decent sound system as well. They booked tons of house d j’s from all over the world. The pictures that I’m going to post are from the descendant party from Afro House
