Profile

Now that Bedford Avenue has sold out to Tasti D-Lite, this friendly dive by the BQE cuts right through the area's surge of vanilla flavor. Its interior is basic, with red walls, some garish paintings, and a solid jukebox stocked with the Pixies, Frank Sinatra and PJ Harvey. Other entertainment includes a big-screen TV and a Top Gun Challenge darts game, as well as Scrabble, Jenga and Twister. Though most evenings the scene tends to be small and laid-back, the bar's special events can bring out a raucous streak. The happy hour, which runs til 9 p.m. daily, offers a two-for-one deal on any of the thirteen tap beers, among them a pleasing Sixpoint ale. — Karen Hudes

I haven't been to R-bar in a while, but was glad to see that all the positives are still there! The staff is a bit different but still great & the crowd is still nice & diverse. They got rid of the karaoke ( thank god! ) as well as some of the other themed nights. I had heard they wanted to bring back the 'boys' night which was a nice twist for the adventurous for all sorts of reasons! I'm glad my local is still cool & unpretentious!

THIS IS A BAR TO GO TO!!!!

If you are looking for a good time, great people and a large variety of drinks, then get your ass to R BAR!!! This is the Brooklyn version of cheers where everybody will learn your name and you will be welcomed there always. From the owners who are simply the best, the bartenders who treat you right and the regulars who will bring a smile to your face, this is what a bar is supposed to be! Even if you disappear for a while ( like I did) all you need to do is walk in(any day or night) and you will be welcomed with open arms. When its time to go, you will leave with the memory(unless you have to many of there great drinks) of a good time. This is a Brooklyn bar to go to.
