Dumbo Startup Lab Reviews

Nice staff and we turned up at happy hour so it was cheap too.

Great place to get a cheap beer and bump in a sea of expensive and over priced bars. Service has always been wonderful, and the bartender even more so.

This place is a gem! Best happy hour around town for sure.

They should offer more options for happy hour. Bleak drinks.

Lovely little bar with a smooth laid back ambience & very decent whiskey selection

Outstanding - pizza. After having a crapy "popular" Brooklyn pizza I was so sad...grimaldies. Then on a random walk in dumbo I came across this place!!

Great local place. If you don't like it then you have higher standards of a bar than of the company you must keep.

Great bar for quiet drinks during the week, or larger get together Thurs - Sat. Awesome happy hours and a comfortable relaxed vibe.

Omg the bartender Kate is amazing we only go when she's working!!!! Also great happy hour.

One of the few easy going spots in DUMBO, especially for beers.

Place looks beautiful but the experience was completely ruined by the bartender the minute my wife and I walked in here. Despite there only being 1 customer at the bar, we did not even get greeted with a smile or frieblndly glance. We awkwardly stood by the bar without our presence being acknowledged until we called her over to ask what there was to drink on tap or about happy hour specials. We tipped anyway but I have to say I have never felt so unwelcome at a bar in this part of town. We were prepared to kill 2-3 hours here before catching a later train, instead we just closed out our tab at the end of the first round and couldn't wait to finish up just so we can go somewhere more welcoming.

Good happy hour deals, friendly bartender. Lots of seating. What more could you ask for?

A fairly inexpensive joint for DUMBO. Not too loud, not too quiet, it's juuuuuuuuust right.

Dark and cute, can get crowded but great drinks and service.

Cute little local bar with good prices and happy hour mon-fri. 2-7pm

A good place for a drink. Quiet. Family. Little tourist.

Only real neighborhood bar in Dumbo, oddly. Good live music some nights. Friendly no-frills service & clientele all the time.

This is a great bar. Lots of friendly people. Ni e staff. Good beers and selection of cocktails. If you are into the brooklyn-milenial scene you will love this bar.

Good simple place. They only have a few beers on tap, but that is Ok if you are looking for good company and conversation.

I love this place. It is reasonably priced and unpretentious. Has never been too crowded when I was there.

Good bar, but at one point had roach problem that was a major turn off.

Sick low-key, great atmosphere, interesting furniture. Feels unique in a great way, like it's without them trying too hard.

Nice Bar. We were here after Christmas, so it was pretty empty. The beer on tab was good, prices were moderate, and staff was polite.

Great happy hour and chill, albeit numerous, clientele.

The only real locals bar in dumbo. Let s keep it that way!

68 Jay St Bar is known as the bar on the corner. It is always crowded everyday of the week. Fridays are especially popular. Happy hour specials run until 7pm. This keeps the after work crowd coming back. People just love it.

Decent little bar in dumbo. Selection is limited but the setting is friendly and casual.

It's a chill local bar tucked out of the way. No frills yet comfortable and welcoming. Open late, which is pretty rare for the neighborhood. No complaints at all.

It s ok. It s won t be the worst place but never will be a place you spread the word about. It is a dumbo, Williamsburg, thrift shop vibe.

GEM in Dumbo! Ace owners promote friendly culture= manager and bartenders are awesome.

Great service, great location and very cool atmosphere. And obviously the cocktails are pretty delicious

Great little local bar with occasional nice live music. Low key and always fun.

Worst experience ever! The owner was so nasty and degrading to us

Fine bar, good selecton of beer, live music sometimes. But watch out, don't leave your beer unattended.

Great after work spot. Staff has always been great on every visit. No hit or miss here. Music is always good. Give them a try you will love this place. It has a good neighborhood vibe to it.

Great local bar. Too bad the new residential neighbors (who chose to buy next to a bar), have essentially forced them to end their music by 11pm. Such a shame - they have some great musicians come through!

Roomie Place great crowd excellent service the drinks were fairly priced and very good.

Went to this bar, the beers and drinks are fine, but service is not great. Opened a window and the waitress yelled at me. Not a great experience.

Loved the seating on the next room over. Had a great time relaxing and chatting with a friend under dim lighting. The blondie bartender was kick-ass and she made my friend the perfect cocktails.

Happy hour specials are great. Fun, low key atmosphere.

Nice. Local bar. Reasonable prices for Brooklyn . Interesting decor. Refurbished and repurposed decor. Can get backed, get there early.

This place is the ultimate, and the happy hour is a sweet Oasis amongst the land of the super rich white ppl.

Staff is super friendly, accommodating and happy to give you a great experience!

Chill vibe with quick service and reasonably priced drinks. Good music and cool space

I was here today for a beer with friends. The service was extremely rude. We asked for a receipt and she gave us a piece of paper , we asked why we couldn't have a receipt and she didn't even brother responding. Some people asked to use the bathroom and she denied claiming it's customers only. Overall she was extremely rude and unpleasant.

A chill spot to drink if walking around dumbo. Definitely a locals joint.

Great place near my office for happy hour. Always crowded and noisy though.

Day bartender from Ireland is great fun, good prices for happy hour and locals are welcoming.

Nice place to hang around, genuine personnel, good beers!

Friendly neighborhood bar. First time and first stop in Brooklyn, people were really friendly

Nice place to chill out in dumbo. Bartender was super cool and fun to talk to, and the interior was cozy and charming

Local watering hole in Dumbo. They get some decent live music at 68 Jay.

Hot music and vivid local scene. Sat thru happy hour watching the people walk by reading a history book

Nice relaxed bar.. They have a limited menu but the wine is good, abundant, and at a budget. They have good live music and the separate room is not loud and great for chatting.

Good boozer for dumbo. OK, kinda the ONLY boozer in dumbo. They have a decemt happy hour as well. I thinks its 4 bux for drafts.

One of the only bars in the area. Small beer selection.

Great neighborhood bar in DUMBO which is a rarity. Friendly service and fair prices.

Good spot for a group to go. Nice room to meet, drink, and talk.

Chill local grunge bar. Very comfortable with talent that can surprise. Definitely worth a regular status hangout

Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great brews. Hopefully you catch a drink while Kate is there. She is a wonderful bartender.

As a DUMBO shill, I have been to this place on several occasions. I think it's the number one place people have goodbye parties when they leave Etsy. They have good drinks and a chill atmosphere. I am a fan of the mobile seating.

Their decor is a little random, but hey. Drinks in the dark is still drinks.

Don't have a strong collection of the hard liquor like Ciroc, but the server is super nice. Tip well and he'll give you free drinks! Enjoy!

Was showing some family members round the area and stopped by for a quick drink. The bartender, a Irish lady, acted incredibly rude and distant and almost like she didn't want us to be there. Felt kind of awkward and unwelcome.

Quiet and laid back. Nothing exceptional but not bad all around.

Low key. Regulars/locals clique together, unfortunately the bar tender is a local keeping the locals topped up.

I live down the street...super low key local bar...they have some good live music on weekends.

great local bar. one of the originals in dumbo. good happy hour specials

Good local bar. Slightly awkward layout but good for after work drinks

Place is fine. Happy hour is reasonable. Service was good. Beer selection needs work, and I think they could do well with adding a little more live entertainment on the opposite side. Would really drive the crowd more here on the week nights. I really think this could be a great watering hole for the all the workers in the area, but they don't throw many events. Overall, if you are just in the area to grab a beer, maybe spend some time writing in a journal or chatting with the people you are with, this is a good place to be.
