- The Corcoran GroupJanuary 2, 2014If you haven't visited the bar's back parlor room, be sure to do so. Complete with its own bar, a roaring fireplace, and cozy couches perfect for lounging, it's the ideal place to go on a cold day.
- The Royal Tenenbaum is the perfect blend of bourbon, grapefruit juice, honey, and pine. Perfect for a cold evening. Speaking of which, try to get a table behind the host stand to protect from the cold
- CITY GRITAugust 9, 2014Don’t tell Manhattan but Brooklyn’s Clover Club may be the best cocktail bar in the city! We’re big fans of the La Sonambula #2 and the Pep Talk and the Black Eyed Susan…and all of the punches
- The live jazz on Wednesday's is the best in the city (imo). The Slope is an excellent drink to sip whole listening to it!
- Caitlin ClementsMay 7, 2017Monday to Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., wine for $6 and beer for $4. Cocktails are $7. Bites are all under $8 and include options like deviled eggs, hangar steak on toast, and a house made nut mix.
- NastyaFebruary 13, 2020The best cocktail menu and wonderful jazz on wednesdays — perfect combo. Very nice staff. Absolutely loved the place. And once again, the cocktails are very, VERY good.
- Tasting TableNovember 7, 2014Cocktails come first at this moody 19th century-esque bar, but fill your belly with mac 'n' cheese ($12), made with Gruyère, white cheddar and bacon, and lamb burger. Read more
- Anna LiJuly 31, 2017Phenomenal drinks made with precision and fresh ingredients. Great ambiance - there is also an additional space in the back behind the curtains if you want more privacy.
- The cocktails are ace, but what makes this place so great is the balance of comfort and sophistication. Try the Pep Talk if they have it, although the menu is seasonal. Wed nights have live jazz music
- Brian KarfunkelJanuary 19, 2015Cocktail list is extensive and thorough. I had the Bay Ridge and the eponymous Clover Club Cocktail, both of which were delicious. There's also a food menu. The grilled flat bread with ricotta was yum
- Anthony is by far the best bartender in Brooklyn. The egg sandwich is amazing. And the atmosphere is one of the best in NYC. Love coming here. It will forever be my Sunday Brunch go to!!
- Alex RobertsonJuly 19, 2017come for happy hour M-F 4-7 and get a Moscow Mule for 8 dollars. my favorite cocktail bar

- Ross WSSeptember 5, 2016Brooklyn’s neo-classic has made the top 50 bars five times – alas a casualty of 2015. Cocktails have historical leanings and hospitality led by Julie Reiner is traditional and warm.
- Nicholas BeckJuly 17, 2013Try fetching combo of gin, raspberry syrup, grapefruit juice &cantaloupe juice in the Pecos County Fizz for myself / gin and champagne-fueled Boathouse Punch. Save room for the brioche bread pudding!
- Richard DunksMarch 24, 2013Sit in the back if you're enjoying drinks with friends. Very laid back and comfortable. The Happy Hour specials are great. Almost makes drinking in NYC affordable. And the deviled eggs are the best
- Sarah Malloy-GoodJuly 29, 2013The Bee's Kiss is not on the menu, but it's amazing! It's like a honey-topped cloud floating on top of your drink. The waitstaff might not know what you are asking for, but the bartender will.
- Cameron GidariMay 30, 2016One of the best bars I've ever been to. Ask for the bartender's choice, they won't steer you wrong. Smash of the Titans and the General two must-try choices though.
- One of the best brunches on Smith St. Amazing baked eggs and bacon sampler. If they have brunch specials, always get them. And always order a cocktail.
- Francesca BradleyFebruary 17, 2017Great craft cocktails and atmosphere! The lovely pear drink was delicious and they can make an awesome painkiller.
- Eric FriedmanMarch 2, 2014Try an old fashioned with Woodford Reserve. Cocktails are worth the wait if you are looking for a swanky place to grab a drink
- The Improved Whiskey Cocktail (rye, maraschino, absinthe and bitters) is flawless. Paired with a Lamb Burger, it's dinner.
- Jane DoeNovember 17, 2018Their signature, Kentuky Punkin, Peat's Dragon, & White Hopped Negroni finished long and luscious BUT the Oaxacan w/ Old Raj & Bon Fire Old Fashioned were worth going back for. Cheers.
- s vJune 7, 2017(Thrillist tip) See the "Garden to the Glass" menu section for inventive drinks like the Victory Garden, made with gin, tomato water, strawberry, and sherry.
- eric bornemannOctober 17, 2020Best cocktails in the borough. The old fashioned with an ice cube as big as your head is great. As are the chips with truffled dip.
- Best cocktail joint in proper Brooklyn. Get the Moscow Mule and enjoy the Wednesday jazz nights.
- Vivian RamirezApril 13, 2017Deliscous bespoke cocktails. Great service, food, can get crowded so best to go early in the day if you can.
- CompassMay 14, 2014The nationally acclaimed cocktail bar is one of the city’s best, slinging freshly muddled herb concoctions, three-bacon, party-friendly punch bowls, and plush, candlelit bar seating.
- Emily L.March 19, 2016Brunch here is so much fun! We ordered brunch taps style, since the serving size is smaller than the American standard. Reco: duck w/ potatoes + pancakes
- Excellent bartenders. Can order off the menu and you won’t be disappointed. Food is great as well.
- Amy CoatesMarch 30, 2017Love the cocktails and the devilled eggs. Try to get a comfy spot in the back behind the curtain.
- Favorite cocktail bar in Brooklyn! Never disappointed with the quality of the drinks and the seasonal food menu.
- M KAugust 7, 2011You think it's just a fancy cocktail bar, but the brunch is excellent. Skip the lines at Cafe Luluc and get the chorizo naked eggs. Good Bloody Mary too.
- The steak and eggs brunch is REALLY good. If you're not an alcohol drinker, get the ginger lemonade, it's legit.The restrooms are comfy too if you need to do your business.
- Carmen NFebruary 14, 2016I like it. Tasty dishes (especially the Brussels Sprouts) and nice cocktails. But I don't know about best. Service is a bit under par.

- MarthaFebruary 8, 2015i try a different cocktail each time i go. the port of call is one of my favorites though. i love this place.

- Red & BrownMay 13, 2015Our favorite cocktail bar in Brooklyn has a great, comfortable atmosphere and extensive, classically inspired cocktail menu, grouped by style.
