Bushwick Country Club in
Brooklyn (NY)

Heather is an angel! She gave me the best “least favorite” drink I’ve ever ordered. Amazing service and atmosphere!

Went in to wait for a friend on a Saturday night. Decent crowd but nowhere near packed. I ask if they have green Chartreuse to make a Last Word and they do. But then another bartender turns around (blonde with glasses) and tells me to “look around. This is a dive bar. Don’t be annoying.” Sorry for trying to pay double the price of a beer for a cocktail you’re fully capable of making. Zero people skills on that woman. The bouncer asked me to excuse her and give it another shot and come back inside, but I was very offended by her behavior. Will not be returning.

Great bar, where they keep the booze flowing and the Idiots from getting thirsty. Awesome pre-dinner spot or apres dinner.

One of my favorite bars in NYC. The owner and staff are all super friendly and helpful and laid back. Cheap drinks, free cheese balls, games like Connect Four to play, plus the legendary mini golf course out back. Great place to throw a party with friends

Love this place and the staff is awesome. I had a birthday party here and they took such great care of us all night. Simon is the man and made sure I was never without a drink. 10/10

Please have more than one bartender on staff for a Saturday.. I have a forgettable face and clearly kept blending into the ether & the poor woman running the show would be serving people who came up after me time & time again. A solution to this could be two bartenders

Obsessed with this place! Supposedly the pickleback was invented here. Frozen drinks are super yummy, prices are fair and the vibe is all around great! The bartenders are nice!

Really fun dive bar. The inventor of the pickleback. Mini golf is free and fun, but don't expect anything fancy. The seats are very hit or miss, as they're all mixed vintage.

Good drinks, good people, good pickle backs...always a good time.

Classic Williamsburg bar in the late 2000s style. Good drinks and a crew of regulars.

Contrary to the review by "Thodor Ellie" Bushwick Country Club is NOT closed! It moved locations and was not operational for a couple of months but IT'S BACK and on the same block as always, just a few doors down. It looks almost exactly the same and the owner is the same as well. He even said they'll have the mini golf course up and running very soon! BCC is an institution. Here's to it being open another couple of decades!

Sheer, grimy bliss. This is the rare, perfect dive where I learned to love the pickleback. Consistently entertaining bar goers and staff. Any bar with Big Buck Hunter, pinball, and a $7 pickleback whiskey+PBR combo gets five stars from me.

This is definitely a DIVE, so If that’s what you’re looking for, then this is perfect. 2 for 1 drinks during happy hour, which is a good deal. That being said, the red head male bartender is very rude. I’ve been multiple times, and every time he rubs me the wrong way. He’s always extremely curt and in no way friendly, which I usually expect out of a neighborhood bar. I’m sure their other bartenders are lovely, but this guy, not so much

The great Dionysus himself, placed his red wine warm finger on the land off of Grand Avenue that would become The Bushwick Country Club. An LO! The great unwashed masses sang his praises and sacrificed holy bulls in his honor and named their young in favor of John Roberts and his holy gift of the banana daiquiris. Both frozen, and cocktail. Let it be known among our contemporaries and echo throughout time down to our distant descendants, HERE LIE BANANA DAIQUIRIS! And they were good!

I am not a big drinker but I love pickle back shots and they have the best and apparently the invented the pickle back shot as well. Nice vibe. dark inside but there is a backyard where it is easier to talk with friends.

This places is oozing with cool... unique and fun. Owner was serving drinks with the bartenders and really was an awesome person to talk to.. this is a 5 star place because you can basically come here Any Time and it will provide a fun experience.

I go there often becuase they allow dogs in the backyard. My two huskies ?? love that place. Good place to chill, have a beer and let your pups enjouy being out. O and when you say nicely please can I have to cheese puffs, they will give you ?

Swung through here on a Sunday afternoon. The slushies were delicious, they had a whiskey coke and a fruitier one. They were honoring a happy hour on beer even on the weekend which was nice. 2 for 1 beers. Backyard space is OK. If you want to play some mini golf just leave your ID with the bartender. It's got some good character. Backyard is dog friendly.

Used to love this spot up to a year ago. The staff used to be chill, engaging and just generally friendly. The current staff seem to be just checked out and disinterested in serving customers unless they walk up directly Infront of them. This was my favourite local but after not getting served for 10 minutes in a bar with 6 other customers, the starlight is probably my new go to.

Perhaps the worst bathroom I've ever seen at a bar but otherwise pretty great. $7 for a PBR tallboy and a pickleback, free cheetoes, and mini connect 4. Bartender was friendly enough, the crowd was decent, and I'll definitely be back.

Exactly what it should be. Perfectly gritty, friendly staff, always an interesting crowd. Seating is plentiful but a bit uncomfortable. Mini golf in the back (ask your bartender nicely for accessories) is fun, but a pain in the ass with the plastic ball they provide.

Came here late on a Friday night after a long day of touristing in NYC. A couple other places had closed kitchens already so we were glad to find they were open for business. Legit beer selection but sadly they were out of my first two choices. The pulled pork nachos were better than expected and were much better than standard bar food. Worth checking out for a beer and some nachos.

I drove there on several occasions and was overly satisfied with the tunes, beer and shots as well as the completely hotdogs! The one barkeep, miss Erin, was a holy ole soul! She even called me a taxi when it was time to go.

It was extremely crowded, but that was probably our fault for going on a Saturday night. Also, the mini-golf definitely looks bigger from the photos on the website, but again, probably my fault - I should have known it was tiny based on the area that the bar is located in (not exactly a ton of room in that neighborhood). The bar selection isn't bad, the beer is cold, they give you cheese poofs at the bar (if you ask nicely), and their pickles are ridiculous (like, they are so strong that they will act like an espresso shot and wake you right up). It was definitely an interesting experience.

One of those "old New York" bars you see fewer and fewer of these days, mostly being run out of business in exchange for some chain store BS no one really asked for (except maybe transplants). The drink specials are on point. The combo beer/shot specials are various and greatly priced. The happy hour two for ones that no one can turn down. Some of the regulars are a bit dismissive but whatever. Not like the real jerky kids grew up in the area anyway. Slushies with booze. Need I say more?

Though I try to branch out of my comfort zone, I always, always end up here. Whatever, it's a classic. Been coming back for 8 years, usually around 3am for a pickleback I definitely don't need, and to take photobooth pictures that I'll forget to wait for. The bartenders are great and the owner has some pretty good stories about ghosts and dead bodies in the building. Sure, it's hipster-y, but who isn't?

In search of a place to bring a large group of friends for my boyfriend's 30th birthday bash, I stumbled upon this place. It is the very definition of a hipster dive bar but I don't consider that a bad thing. When we first got there it was very crowded but the crowd thinned out a lot towards 1:00am. My Bud Light swigging friends had a hard time finding suitable beverages at first but they eventually got the hang of it. The Sweet Tea Vodka slushies were deliciously addictive and especially helpful since it was pretty warm inside. One of us took a chance on the spiked hot cider and it was a bitter, noxious brew. All of the drink prices were very reasonable. You've got to love a backyard mini golf course with a windmill made out of PBR cans. My one and only complaint is that their website claims that if you bring 15 people then your drinks are complimentary. I received one free drink and ever so vague recognition from the bartender despite having exchanged several emails with the owner. That being said, we'll definitely be back. I can see myself craving those slushies once warm summer days are here.
