What People Are Saying About Bam

In Short – Upstairs in the esteemed Brooklyn Academy of Music's headquarters is a fancy eatery where enormous windows and vaulted ceilings maintain the institution's high art standards. Yet a mixture of laidback lounge furniture and more conventional dining tables softens any inherent formality, as do weekend performances by up-and-coming performers from a variety of disciplines. The menu, which changes seasonally, shows both regional and international influences.

  1. it's an interesting space, and the food was solid -- better than the reviews here suggested, especially for the value.
