Apartment 138

A comfortable, cozy setting with a late night menu & garden

  • Late Night Menu
  • Weekend Brunch Served
  • Outdoor Seating

Apartment 138 is a bar/lounge offering the comforts of home and serves salads, pasta, seafood dishes, while offering an extensive wine list along with a variety of cocktails.

According to Zagat New York City Nightlife, "A former Boerum Hill apartment/office space reinvented as a bar/lounge, this new Smith Street arrival offers all the comforts of home along with strong specialty martinis and simple American grub; downstairs, there's a game room equipped with pool and foosball tables, as well as access to garden seating."

Editorial Review for Apartment 138 – by Erin Behan

The Scene
Though plenty of white-washed tables and chairs are scattered about the dining room, it's the bar that acts as a neighborhood gathering place. Couples, friends and singles convene around the dark wood bar and mingle over reasonably priced tap beers, well-mixed specialty cocktails and a steaming plate of mussels or fries.

The Draw
While the prospect of an uninterrupted game of pool and foosball in the downstairs rec room sounds appealing, the bright, white space feels a bit harsh at 3am. Better to stay upstairs and order another round off the cocktail menu. A freshly pulled shot livens the espresso martini, while pomegranate syrup adds a hint of the fruit to the smooth vodka-based pomegranate martini. The menu of salad, pasta, sandwiches, sides and other bistro fare is available until 3am, with daily specials.

I go to this place all the time, this place is great for dine and it's devine. The food is fantasic and the employese are friendly and not lazy. It really feels like home, and the game room is a blast pool table and classic arcade I recomend everything Dinner and Lunch on the menu. Tell Siman Damaris says hello.

Pros: Great Food

Cons: NONE

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The wait staff is rude and bumbling and dirty. I can let many things slide; however, I do expect the staff to be clean, the bartender had so much dirt under his nails he must work the day shift at a mine, and his manners matched his appearance, he even managed to mutter something under his breath after my girlfriend asked for another napkin. The food is nothing of interest and overall below average. This place is on Smith St. and so close to so many good places really no reason to chance it.

Pros: Location

Cons: Service/food
