Vekslers

I stumbled in here while out of town (staying at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott) and it was a gem. The bartender was a delight, friendly, kind, and efficient. The cocktails on point, and surprisingly affordable, and while I didn't get food, it looked to be impressive. I'll make it a point to drop by here every time I'm back (a few times a year).

What a cool spot! Finally had a chance to try last night - we ordered the sweet & spicy wings (yum!!!) watermelon salad (so simple, so refreshing), burger, and kale miso salad (probably could’ve skipped the salad, if I’m being honest). Besides the food and delicious drinks (the blackberry basil-mint margarita was our favorite), the service was impeccable. The bartender was doing it all - clearing and cleaning tables, making drinks, taking orders, and delivering food. She impressed us so much, though my partner (who has been a server for 6 years at a different restaurant in BK) and I felt like there should’ve at least been one server to help her out). What a champ! She rocks. We’ll definitely be back.

Very good fusion food, super cozy vibe, and very friendly service. Frankly, no single dish wowed me, but I enjoyed all of them. Maybe the bi-bim-bap less than others, the flavors all blended too much together. The bar seating was comfortable. I can see this place being someone's favorite hangout and I see myself coming back. The Sunday evening I showed up there was a live jazz band playing. Not my cup of tea, but a nice touch.

All I have to say is sweet & spicy wings. Whewwwww chileeeeee! I still think of how extremely delish the sauce was. I ate some in the moment AND ordered some to go, they were beyond amazing! I would go back here just for them wings. The burger and tater tots were also beautifully cooked and the service was lovely. The decor is also nice & welcoming. This place is really in the cut, I randomly stumbled into this spot & I am so happy I did b/c it did not disappoint.

I’ll be honest in saying that I only came to Vekslers after not being able to secure a spot at Lucali’s. However, im so glad to have stumbled upon this spot! This place sits right between a neighborhood bar feel and an upscale gastropub. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, with plenty of people around but not overly crowded. The Pork Xiao long bao’s were delightful and the sweet and spicy wings were perfect. All the entrees we received were full of flavor and delicious! Will come here again, definitely.
