Since I have a new bike, this place is more practical for me to drop in.
I'm glad I did on this sunny Sunday afternoon, because frozen margarita's and fish tacos were a wonderful respite. The BLT is still amazing too. The quality of the food is just wonderful at this price point. Good value. Reasonable portions.
They used to have Shake-shack-like buzzers, but now leave your phone number with the small kitchen, and they will text you when your food is ready. Love that ingenuity. Thank you.
Really chill bar in [very] South Slope that offered a nice pit stop after our recent tour of Greenwood Cemetery. Nice vibe with the type of sundry characters and misfits you expect to run into in Prospect Heights and other margins of hip Brooklyn.
Bartender was nice, beers were good (with some nice options, whether you want a summer sipper or get wrecked on an 8 oz. extreme beer). They don't have a full integrated kitchen, but there is a literal hole in the wall when you walk in staffed by dudes who will make you a tasty kielbasa or burger.
The most memorable part, easily, is the Christopher Walken sailor painting we sat under. Truly, I couldn't take my eyes off it.
I discovered this place by looking at gmaps near my friend's apartment. All I knew was the name so I expected it to be some crusty old sailor dive. Sadly, its not, but Sea Witch is still enjoyable. There's a window where you can order tasty and affordable bar food. The decor is a bit more modern than I was expecting and there is a perfectly fine selection of beers. I didn't spend any time inside, instead heading straight for the back yard, complete with koi pond. It's a nice place to sit with friends.
My kind of bar.
Funky little place with some cool quirky design choices, a great courtyard, and a few different seating nook and crannies for you to settle into. Had a great night here with a large group of friends that were spread out all over the place. Burgers were ok, not top notch, but decent enough.
Other Yelpers may be complaining of the lack of service, (pay at the bar as you go – no need to sort the bill at the end of the night), but as a traveler accustomed to a more laid-back style of service, this just felt like home to me.
Fun bar in South Slope with great beer options, a real aquarium behind the bar, a chill backyard, and fake grass on the walls of the bathroom. I dare you to try to find another place that has all that. Didn't have any of the food, as we were just here to meet up before dinner, but maybe next time.
The best thing about this spot is the decor and the drinks. The wall art is pretty cool and its a nice size spot. The bartender made a good ass drink but he looked like he just came form the sauna.
In the summer with the back door closed and lock plus no fan, Im surprised no one passed the hell out?!?!? I was like I know I saw this place had an outdoor space…needless to say it was not open!! Which would not have been a real problem if you had a ceiling fan or hell just go to Target and get a couple of fans to put in the windows?!?!?! Just so confused cuz the staff looked hot and sweaty. Not appealing when your service looks like the just been ran thur by the devil?!?!
When the menu is so simple it should be good but no not even close at the Sea Witch. Very pricey mediocre/bad food….
1. Fish tacos…what was the white stuff on the top…Greek yogurt?!?! Chef needs major lesson on breading and frying fish…tragic
2. Al pastor taco…why do you call them Al pastor….just say pork cuz you are missing leading real taco eaters….HORRIBLE!!!!
3. LMAO cheese burger tasted like my six year cousin made it?!?!?!
And the crowd can get really loud like screaming/hollering loud. Also I must say the crowd must be very loyal or local cuz aint no way anybody drink in that heat unless the bartender is hooking you up or you live around the block?!?!
Very Dissapointed
I think this bar is the PERFECT place to bring a date on a Saturday night. It wasn't crowded at all around midnight, we stayed until 2am, and you can have a conversation without being bumped into or screaming. My girl friend and I quickly realized this, since there were at least 5 couples out in the back area.
First, the bartender was wonderful. We asked if we could see a cocktail menu, and right away he said that he could whip us up something based on what we were in the mood for. He made us a STRONG rum based cocktail with watermelon and it was delicious. For $12 a piece, it was worth it! This is coming from 2 girls who drink too much and too often.
The back patio was perfect and calming. Plenty of tables, lanterns, and it was just a cozy feeling. While I was there at night I couldn't see the pond, but I think there is a pond somewhere too. The inside has a beautiful aquarium and plenty of tables too (just look at the pictures). The bar was very clean and gave off a great vibe.
*Ps. You can order food when you first walk in, had my friend and I known, we would have gone here for dinner! 5/5 I'll be back for food and drinks.
Had to change my review of this place… I had originally thought it was such a cute spot and brought my boyfriend back…
The cook must've been in a foul mood because he was very attitudey, I wanted to get my two favorite things -'pickled veggie plate and crab Rangoon – the cook muttered under his breath that they were out of those things;
Ended up sharing a few things instead – pork schnitzel sandwich, oyster club and fish tacos – all were pretty lackluster, pork was served on a plain white hamburger bun
I still maintain that
1. the bartender is nice
2. They have a good selection of beers
3. The backyard patio is very cute
Bottom line: come here for drinks but not food
