Pine Box Rock Shop
“And Big Buck Hunter is a blast to play when you're drunk, and as a vegan pretty ironic.”
“This is my favorite bar off the Morgan stop, for me there's just no need to go anywhere else if I'm in that area.”
“The signature Bloody Marys are WORTH IT – it's like a vodka dressed Salad complete with house-made pepperoncini.”

Very interesting place. Not sure I would say it's my scene, but it was fun when I visited last night! Went all the way to Brooklyn to hang out with a friend from out of town and meet up with a bunch of her friends. One of the guys played in the band in the back room and overall it was pretty fun! Very chill and relaxing.
Drinks are strong and cheap!! A vodka tonic was around $7. Casual attire.
I love this place. I've been here a bunch of times, usually to check out a band, but lately I've been going just to grab drinks with a friend. Tons of space and seating. They are always playing good music and have a great menu for food and drinks. Prices are great and they have some of the best drink specials in the area (it can get crowded, so be prepared if you want those drink deals). Usually you can find a random band playing and most of the time you can check them out for free.
Tons of TVs if you are trying to watch the latest game and also some cool video games if you're into that. When it's not crowded, it's a super laid back place to chill that always has nice bartenders and good service. I've never tried the food but their menu seems to be always expanding and everything I've seen others eat looked great. Absolutely worth checking out if you are in the area and looking for something to do.
My girlfriend and I popped in on a Sunday night to watch my Tar Heels whup up on Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament. I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive craft beer selection, including Other Half Green Diamonds Double IPA, which I've been wanting to try for a while (it didn't disappoint). We were a bit hungry, and the vegan empanadas hit the spot and were quite substantial. Nice vibe. Pine Box would have nabbed five stars with just a couple more televisions. That's so picky, I know. This is really a 4.5-star review. I'm in the neighborhood, and I'll be back.
Great beer list, vegan snacks, awesome bartenders, and a relaxed space-everything you want from a neighborhood bar. I've always received great service at Pine Box, and find their drinks and empanadas to be top quality. The bar is really spacious, so it's fun to come here with a group of friends. They host fun events such as the Vegan Shop Up and Punk Rock Karaoke as well. Definitely check this place out if you are in Bushwick!
Pinebox is a bar/event space located in Bushwick. It gives off a vintage vibe, with lots of wood and artistic framed work along the walls. The bar is large and the staff friendly. Coat check is available by the door, Im unsure if there is a fee. Patrons ranged from eccentric hipsters to eclectic grunge, I noticed a ton of combat boots and men in tunics lol.
I attended a Vegan Shopup event here. It was held in a small backroom, maximum occupancy around 30, comfortably. Theres a small stage in the corner and it seems like a cool spot to catch a show by local performers. Six vendor tables were placed into this room for the Vegan breakfast cookoff event, which left little to no space for people to move about. My mom and I would retrieve our samples and then exit the room to eat our vegan treats. It was tight in there and only got tighter as the time progressed so we didn't stay long. One of the judges, Adam Sobel of The Cinnamon Snail came in with a wallaby in a baby sling! How crazy is that?! Talk about making an entrance lol
In light of this event there were specials on Bloody Mary's and mimosas, awesome! The most amazing Chai tea by Chai Mookie was sold at this event as well. It was the best Chai I'd ever had, spicy and delicious! Pinebox is also a pet friendly spot which I'm not a fan of. I saw most patrons holding their animals but I'd rather not have a dog sitting next to me at the bar as I sip on my cocktail.
This shall forever be my go-to bar in Bushwick. I remember being there the day it opened and it's provided me with countless memories ever since. It has the vibe you crave in a local bar, complete with memorable characters and friendly bartenders. If you live within walking distance and haven't been–shame on you.
The Bloody Mary's are to die for! Short or long (celery stalks) they've got it all, and fresh from their garden too. Vegetables of the pickled variety can be found on your drink, so I suppose it's on the healthy side (if I keep telling myself that, I'll believe it). They can tailor the heat to your desire, some like it hot and I happen to like fire.
The last Bloody Mary I tried was so hot, I was like Nelly in herrrrr ready to take my clothes off lol.
As far as snacks go, I would recommend trying their vegan empanadas (from V Spot). Do not skimp on the salsa please!
Other noteworthy info: They host a vegan shop up event where you can sample different vegan eats (desserts galore!) and purchase cruelty free products including items like wallets and shirts 😉
That being said, it's spacious and great to bring a group.
The libations are a plenty but I wouldn't hesitate on grabbing one of their signature dranks.
Goth & Rocker escape! The Pine Box Rock n Shop is set up in an old coffin business space. The space has been here since before the huge Bushwick migration. And I have always had a weakness for a rock n roll bar.
This recent summer my friend who's vegan me to the vegan empanadas! Wow! They are simple, quick, filling and delicious! I have yet to be disappointed. I normally pick between the black bean and the Philly Cheesesteak mushroom. And another bonus in the summer is the front patio. A playground to meet new locals, boozehounds and musicians (who are most likely playing a show in the back venue). Some nights it's a little too crazy for my liking. Can a bar help but be popular amongst the locals?
I recently popped in on a Sunday and it was just my speed. Then I noticed my adorable, uber pregnant bartender still on a step stool writing down the beer menu. Commitment. The lively coffin nail earrings were really up my alley. Turns out Heather is also one of the owners. She was extremely sweet and genuine. She was knew all her regulars, the cutest one being a corgi mix named Fonz! Dog bar = rad bar! I'm always in better spirits when happy puppies are running around.
I love supporting a small business that fills the rocker, goth, vegan void in my life! And those closer the the M Central Ave are in luck, their sister bar Precious Metal is also open!
PBRNS also hosts Walking Dead viewing in Sunday's and a Vegan Pop Up Shop! And last but not least, you have to check it the mural from local artist Grace Lang!
