Profile

Venture deep into the nether regions of this Park Slope haunt to discover its main attraction: a sprawling two-tiered garden area with lush ivy and strings of lights that make it an ideal spot for romantic after-dinner drinks. A lofted seating area in the upper bar is perfect for people-watching—accessible only by a wrought-iron spiral staircase, it provides a birds-eye view of the entire room. Named after its owner, Bar Reis (pronounced “REES”) was just a wine bar when it opened in 1999. Nowadays, the drink selection goes beyond vino to an assortment of bottled beer and liquor. — Andrew Wang

So, I don't believe that the other reviews for bar reis were written by someone NOT employed by the bar, but I thought I'd just say that this bar is on my block and is my favorite fall-back bar. The margaritas are small but powerful, and the mexican food is cheap and good (and served late), and they have pretty good specials. The garden IS really nice, and there's pool and a jukebox if that's your dig. Only downside is this one chick bartender who is pretty moody, but she won't be mean to you, and it's worth it to go regardless. Two thumbs up.

Bar Reis is unique for its friendly, diverse, and laid back clientele. There are four different seating areas: street level bar, loft, downstairs bar, and garden, each offering a different ambiance. Excellent during the week as well as weekends. Hip like nearby Buttermilk, The Lighthouse, and Great Lakes. Don't miss it!
