“ These guys really take pride and care in their cocktail making. I visit bars all across the globe in my travels and this place has nailed number 1 on my list of best cocktails I've had, with their s'more smoked old fashioned. What a drink, Thank you ”
“ Visited early on a Tuesday and they make some fantastic cocktails! Pictured below is Pink angel, cucumber jalapenos margarita and gin martini with twist. ”
“ The mint green building caught my eye as we were driving down 3rd Ave. We stopped in to check it out and loved the retro vibe and muted colors. There's a long bar with plenty of seats and comfy banquets along the opposite wall. The old jukebox has lots of classic songs (#1 being Mama Tried). The drinks were unique and the beer selection was varied (which I really appreciated). I has the Passionate Tart and that's exactly what it was... pleasantly tart with a bit of sweetness and a passion fruit undertone. My husband had the Tulum which was smoky, a bit spicy, and incredible. He finished with the Leroy Brown. It was very different from the first 2 and reminded me of a slightly sweeter more complex old fashioned with a molasses finish. All 3 drinks were complex, interesting, delicious, and crafted so beautifully. Matthew, the owner was super friendly and made us feel welcome. He spoke with us about the drinks and enjoyed a laugh. I will definitely be returning. ”
“ Very cool bar, great place, sometimes they have live shows without cover, cheap beer (just cans) you can smoke, lgbt ambiance. ”
“ This is the ultimate neighborhood bar. A good selection of draft beers, beer-and-a-shot combos, and a curated list of classic and special cocktails. Would you believe they make their own vermouth? They also have a short but tasty food menu. It's the kind of place where you can walk in alone and find yourself in conversation with the person on the neighboring bar stool. They have live music on weekends in the warm weather, as well as a patio. My new favorite bar! ”
“ Just amazing. It’s a hidden gem of Brooklyn. Walking in is like walking into a cool beach bar. Wonderful! ”
“ I come here with friends. It’s a nice reprieve from bay ridge and just a wonderful little spot to hang out, drink and have dope music in the background. ”
“ I am a huge fan of Mama Tried, Matt is my favorite part about the whole place. He always makes us feel welcome and always gives us great service. I come to Mama Tried for Matt. ”
