Didn't even make it in the door

by lifubing

All i wanted was a cool place to chill for a couple of hours in the late afternoon - all i got was a rudeness from the guy opening up. i didn't spend any money or time there, but if you can get past the staff it looks like a nice place.

• Pros: has couches, looks fairly nice
• Cons: staff are derisive and rude

NO NEED TO GO TO THE CITY!!!

by MoeMusic

You have to disregard any reviews prior to April 08! Patio is now under different management (Adrienne, AKA Queen), and she is really trying to create that nostalgic "neighborhood hot spot" feel! the venue is available to host any type of event (50-60 people) and the locals keep the atmosphere nice and relaxed! Afterwork parties can begin as early as 5pm. and easily blend into the night time flow of the lounge!! As your musical host, I'm devoted to providing the best range of music so that everyone feels like its THEIR night!

Check out: patioloungecom

• Pros: Unpretentious, Cozy, Music selection (hey, I'm the DJ!!)!
• Cons: no parking(neighborhood), Patrons sometimes dirty the bathrooms.

Best Beer Blends in the SLOPE!!!

by uprootedpeoples

This place is pretty snazzy! patio lounge has that warm and fuzzy sloper sensibility -- in that you can totally chill out in their super comfy sofas while drinking a beer. this spot is superb for a pre-dinner date, because it doesn't get too crowded during happy-hours, and the lighting makes everyone look hot yo! they got tons of special beers on tap! you gotta try their white raspberry (half berry, half hoegaarden)!!! ask sylvia what this blend is really called while she pours you a tall one! it's the best in town!!!

• Pros: Good service and accommedating

local dive

by mirrormirror

It's the only casual bar left on the street. You can hang there all night, the drinks are cheap but strong, and the crowd is still Brooklyn chill rather than the latest East Village invasion. Solid live dj's and cool local art on the walls round out the place. The only decent place left.

Whuh Happened?

by hurricane19

Patio used to be great. That is, until they got their liquor license.

It was a great place that was usually uncrowded and pleasant. The drinks were strong and cheap. They served beer and cocktails made, usually, with sake. I know most raved about their lychee sake-tini. I liked the chill out Brooklyn vibe (live DJ) and the swell bartenders. Unfortunately, the frat patrol found out about our little oasis after Patio began serving hard booze. Now, the bathrooms get ripped up, drunk a-holes trip all over the place, and nobody has room to breathe. It kind of sucks. Maybe it was only the weekend crowd.

It's still a cool spot. Go early enough or during the week. And complain about the new Manhattan prices and attitude. First Great Lakes and now this!

Best little place ever

by snooker19

This is a small little bar in my neighborhood with japanese writing on the wall and cool lighting and always chill music. I've lived in this area for over 5 years and there is a difference between before this place got here and after. (Patio's been here for about 3 years by the way) I dont know what that other guy was talking about - I love the bartenders here, they're always really cute and definitely friendly but they don't take crap from drunken sailor types, thats for sure.

This is always my favorite place to hang out any day of the week. I go into Manhattan to get a change and visit my friends, and I always miss the vibe, prices and atmosphere at Patio.

• Pros: Great bartenders, Good beer selection, Backyard

unpleasant atmosphere

by omegakos

The atmosphere at this lounge/bar is very unpleasant. The foremost problem is that the waiters/bartenders are very rude and I have observed them actually cursing at customers. The selection is very limited and the place sometimes feels very deserted.
