nice place for everyone!

by galaxy123

I go here with my boyfriend occasionally and we always have a great time. The bartenders are very friendly and serve a good drink at a fair price. great music and atmosphere and location. Nice and spacious too. No discrimination which is refreshing!!I recommend this place for anyone who would like to just relax and be in a safe, comfortable place.

• Pros: friendly environment
• Cons: none

Fun Bar In Great Neighborhood

by rebel1978

Ginger's is one of the most fun bars to hang out in along the 5th Avenue bar row in Park Slope. They have karaoke that gets everyone going on Thursday nights. They seem to be equally gay and hetero friendly, meaning they don't discriminate here and everyone is welcome regardless of race or sexual orientation. Service was great. The only problem I have with this place is their drink prices are little high. $4 for a domestic bottle is a little expensive for this neighborhood. I agree with the other reviewer that they really should have more drink specials. The patrons are very friendly here and I made new friends as soon as I walked in the door. No attitude here!

• Pros: All are treated equally, karaoke on Thursdays, Fun Atmosphere, friendly patrons
• Cons: HIgher than Average Drink prices

Great Local Bar

by aviv2b

Great neighborhood place. I've been going to Ginger's since it opened. I love the atmosphere because it is local. I've never had any problem with the bartenders. In fact, in my experience, they have been very nice and generous. The bar owner is a wonderful woman and friendly and caring with her patrons.

Point taken about the Guinness! Definitely not the drink to order.In addition, a good tap beer for happy hour and/or a decent drink special would be appreciated. That aside, in the summer it especially nice as all the softball teams come in for drinks and hanging out. Saturday night is a little more of a pick up night but generally the vibe is relaxed and friendly.

This is a really local joint and can probably feel a little off putting for a visitor but if you get past your first drink and decide to stay, chances are you expect someone to chat with you or be receptive to you initiating conversation.

The bar is also animal friendly-so bring your pooch for a drink.

• Pros: nice neighboorhood bar, friendly bar owner, good mix of people-racially diverse, relaxed atmosphere
• Cons: could have better beer specials, better lighting in the room with the pool table
