The Speakeasy

132 Greene Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11238
Phone: (718) 230-3520
Terrible food, terrible service, the worst meal in all of Ft. Greene
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

We had high hopes for this place, but it was a tremendous disappointment. My husband and I ordered Speakeasy for delivery; we were looking forward to a nice dinner together after our young baby went to bed. It was simply terrible. The muscles were not cleaned, had their beards intact, and were inedible; the salmon was WAY over cooked; the portions were ridiculously small. We immediately called to complain -- and called, and called, and called, but couldn't get anyone to pick up the phone for well over an hour (this was 8:30 on a Thursday night). Finally we gave up and cut our losses. Never again. DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Save your time and your money.

Pros: So far, no botulisim

Cons: Everything about our Speakeasy experience

Editor's Review

With the nod from a "Top Chef," Fort Greene locals wash down far-flung flavors and home cooking with hooch.  See the full editorial review.

What to Drink

Starting at $9, the cocktails aren't the cheapest in Brooklyn, but they do set the mood. Favorites include the Wray and Nephew's Sorrell, with rum, sorrell, and ginger bitters.
