Clover Club

Great cocktails. Happy hour is an awesome deal. Good small bites, cheese plate, nuts, crisps, olives. Solid service.

Simply no better spot in Brooklyn for cocktails. Knowledgeable, courteous staff man a well-appointed bar and relaxing seating areas. Those in Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens know the spot well, and continue to cherish it.

The Clover Club is considered one of the best bars in Brooklyn, so it was high on my list to check out.

The space has a vintage vibe with jazz playing in the background. I was able to grab a seat at the bar, which is a great spot to view the bartenders ply their craft. I ordered their namesake drink and enjoyed the beverage. It was well crafted and delivered a great flavor.

I ordered the fried chicken and was a bit underwhelmed. It was too sweet and the seasoning was a bit lacking.

From a service perspective, not the best not the worst I've had from a bar of this caliber.

I've been in here a couple of times, the most recent was for my brother in laws birthday in early October. While we had made reservations the seating was a bit cramped for a group our size. Service was pretty good throughout the night and I think everyone really enjoyed all the food and drinks. I don't specifically remember the cocktail I had as I told my girlfriend to order one for me since the menu was so overwhelming but it was delicious. Food wise the crisps are a must have snack, they're delicious by themselves and the truffle cream kick the flavor up another notch. The oysters were solid, mac and cheese was a huge hit, steak tartare was just ok, and the rock shrimp seemed to have been enjoyed. I don't think I would order the tartare again but everything else is definitely worth having.

If you want a good cocktail in a cool atmosphere, this is the place to go. Even better, they've got live jazz on Wednesdays. The mac and cheese is to die for - the bits of bacon are great. Mac and cheese and jazz. It's like the best combo ever. The fried oysters are pretty great as well. Staff is friendly. There can definitely be a wait, but it's worth it.
