BarRoom, at Dick & Jane’s

Finally getting around to writing a review for one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn. The decor blends old school neighborhood bar charm with subtle modern touches, but it still feels warm and homey. During the day it’s bright inside, and at night it turns into a moody, intimate setting filled with conversation and / or people singing. The space is small and fills up quickly, so I recommend getting there early if you want a seat because there isn’t a ton of seating inside. Now onto the food. The menu is classic bar food like wings, burgers, and fries. For wings, I’ve had both the Sticky Mezcal and the Shaquanda wings. The Sticky Mezcal wasn’t my favorite, but I loved the Shaquanda wings. If they were fried a bit harder, they would be perfect. I’ve also had the burger, which was good, but f

Ive visited Dick and Jane's a few times. Each time the music, drinks and atmosphere were good. I havent had the luck of eatting there yet so I cant rate that. Every Tuesday they host an R&B night which i think is dope (with an actual DJ, not a playlist). Drinks are basically $20 each. It gets crowded on the weekends. The weekdays are less crowded. I enjoy coming here because its local and black owned. Definitely will continue to visit.

I’ve tried to give this place multiple chances because my husband likes the music and it’s failed everytime. While the music is always great. Coming from someone experienced in the service industry, the bar set up is unappealing, get someone that knows how to set up your bar. The drinks are always terrible, making a good gin & soda should never be hard, proper pours are important and the service has always been horrendous. The bartenders are disgustingly rude no matter which one or how polite you try to be. They all need customer service training. Your location is too good for your bar to be this bad.

This is a cool spot and often has a great crowd. You can catch the football games on the projector. Please be warned, they force a 20% gratuity on your bill even just sitting at the bar. Maybe they do this because people don't enjoy tipping for extremely slow service which you will probably encounter. (The bartender with the glasses is pretty good though) On top of that, they nickel and dime you with a 2.5% credit card surcharge. I have never seen that at a bar before.

The experience at Dick and Jane’s is authentic, warm, and fun. We had awesome waiters that continued to show up for us even as our party kept expanding. The DJ had a diverse range of music suitable to our guests and the food selection was decent with a few options . Drinks were served quickly and taste well too.
