Troost
“The backyard is beautiful with lots of greenery and inside is lovely too with perfect lighting.”
“The best part is the outdoor space, which is quite lovely (and dare i say, romantic).”
“The happy hour wine seems pricey at 8 dollars but is actually a mini carafe that comes with a tiny glass cup so is quite worthwhile.”

We popped into Troost for a quick beer during happy hour while we were waiting for our laundry. They had decent prices on beer, but something about the vibe of the place just seemed off. It was an okay place to grab a drink, but I probably wouldn't make it my only destination of the night.
Love this place! I've only visited once but will be frequenting it now that I know how great it is. We dropped in after a long evening in manhattan to grab a drink and check out the space. It's super cozy and has a good amount of seating. The staff at the bar were super friendly and nice. We checked out the back patio and I was so impressed by how beautiful it is! Kind of reminded me of Urth Cafe over on the west coast but of course with Brooklyn's charm. There was tons of quaint seating with beautiful lighting and seating for either small groups or larger parties.
We enjoyed our drinks (noticed the drink menu is extensive and definitely cheaper than other places) and were happy to learn they still served food. I had the manchego tomato sandwich while he had the brisket and both were delicious! Good portion sizes, top notch ingredients, and beautifully presented.
I've been craving a place like this since I first moved to NYC 4 years ago. Something quaint, good quality, friendly service, open late, and with few crowds. Troost makes me think I may have finally found it!
A friend who lives in the area invited me by for a beer. At first I was impressed with the reasonable prices when then I got the tinniest beer I've ever seen. Crowd was iffy as well. I see no reason to go back.
I enjoyed my time here. I was stuck here waiting for a friend for little while.
The lighting was low and mysterious and in the evening they put out tea lights. The Wi-Fi has gotten better since some of the reviews that were posted. I was a little weary at first because of the bed Wi-Fi reviews. There are random extension cords with outlets hidden. You just have to look for it.
They had tiny items whether it was snacks or drinks. I had ordered a cappuccino and pickled beets. The beets were nice and … Well, pickled. The cappuccino kept me going for a while. Everything is a few dollars here and there but it all adds up.
They have a happy hour deal and some beers to offer.
First time coming here so I can't comment on the revamp and seemingly tragic death of the daytime cafe setup. The outdoor seating is nice — kinda rustic, like you're chilling out in a garden — but you also risk having ants crawling surreptitiously over if not near your food, especially when you order a meat & cheese board that includes caramel-drizzled apple slices. I actually killed one and didn't feel bad at all about it. I got an IPA and it was pretty decent (actually wanted to try the Duvel but they didn't have it on tap that day.. boo).
The downside to sitting in the backyard is being near smokers. So choose your table wisely.
There's a "no laptop" sign? I still saw a dude with a laptop sitting in the yard. I guess it's not that strongly enforced.
It's a pretty chill place. Good for a nice meet and greet or to talk with friends. Drink selection is a bit limited, but well priced. Atmosphere is mostly where it is at. For performances conversation volumes flux. Overall, pretty decent spot.
