Branded Saloon

I’m only giving it two stars because of the price of drinks. We came on a less busy evening. It’s a nice dive looking bar and a nice atmosphere for conversations.But, I ordered a whiskey neat. To my surprise when the bill came they had up charged it by $2 for neat. I’ve never had that happen at any bar in New York. And it’s neat, not mixed.My friend was charged an extra $2 for ginger beer, a main ingredient in the Mezcal.And they automatically charge a 20% gratuity. That’s not a problem as most times I tip 20%. However, knowing that upfront would have been nice.The people are nice, but the drink prices don’t like up with the quality of drinks nor the atmosphere.Our total for 2 drinks was $42 at a dive bar.

Great burger! Excellent vegetarian patty and yummy fries to go with. I was super satisfied. Nice service too

Definitely a good place to go, lgbt ambiance but feel free to go even if you are not part of the community.Food is amazing and you can sit outside if you don’t want to party.You can sit inside if you want more privacy. or you can also enjoy the free karaoke at night.Waiters and waitresses are so so nice!!

Was here for a short bit but loved the atmosphere! Literally came here just for the fried oreos and they did not disappoint. The servers were great - kind and attentive. Would definitely come back!

Only giving 4 stars because things have changed recently. The popcorn chicken was a go to favorite, but this last order is less than half than usual. I get inflation prices, but this much for $10?! Im sad...

I often come here alone. Service is fairly below average on weekday nights. I left this evening because no one noticed me despite being sat indoor area for 10 min. Then sat outside with similar result. The previous visit the server all but left and I had to chase him down for the check. The same guy as tonight. Overall great place. Hopefully next time I will actually get food and drink here.

I ordered my burger medium rare, but it came out well done. Despite that, the flavors worked well, and the burger was delicious. I had the sweet potato fries, and that was one of the best Ive had. Id go back, but I guess I want medium rare. Ill need to order rare.

Great place in BK, friendly and attentive staff, amazing drink and beer choices. The layout of the place is very nice and the food is awesome.Slips totally car l recommend this to the LGBTQ+ but it’s really FOR ANYONE-looking to have a good time in a great atmosphere.

AUTOMATIC GRATUITYNice location on Vanderbilt Ave, OK food and slow service. We were two people and ordered three rounds of drinks + nachos (canned chili, good chips) over a 2-3 hour stay. Not super fast service, staff had time to hang out with patrons. Everyones there to chill and hang out, no problem.Goodwill totally burnt with the auto gratuity which was not listed anywhere visible. I only discovered looking over my receipt the next day that I was induced to tip twice - never again.

Great burger. Amazing handout fries. Excellent excellent bartender. She makes fantastic spicy margaritas!!! 2nd time better than the first. The burger was fantastic, again!! This time garlic fries. Holy cow they are great. Tried a spicy margarita(again 😀) and a regular both were great!! Now I need a nap

I held an event at Branded and everyone was so helpful and the space was perfect. I highly recommend hosting an event there or just going to any of their events. They’re always fun and have a great vibe. The food is also great bar food. Love having them in the neighborhood!!

Fantastic Pub/American Food. Huge thanks to Sam and Ulysess who went out of their way to personally ensured my order was delivered once the delivery company refused to help. Overall, a great place with good food and even better people.

A true treat! Patrick and all the staff are literal angels. The drinks were fantastic. The wings made my heart and belly full. One of my new favorite spots.

This is two of my friend’s favorite bar in the city and I can see why! The drinks are delicious, there’s always some special event that’s happening and the staff is very friendly and inviting.I got the key lime pie martini and it really did taste like it. I ended up ordering two and had to stop myself from ordering a third because it’s a week night. I’ve gotten a few of the other drinks on the menu and haven’t disliked any of them and it seems like my friends have had a similar experience.It’s New York prices for drinks, but if you’re looking for a more causal atmosphere to hang out with friends definitely go

I love this bar! You can go from watching a drag show in the back to watching the US women’s national team play soccer on the TVs in the front. They’ve been so great about showing women’s sports including Liberty and Gotham games :) also the smoked cola is a banger of a drink. Their fries with gravy and toppings are tasty too.

Felt right at home from the moment I entered. The Chicken Noodle Soup is a MUST try! It’s like the hug you need after a long day. Sickening talents were performing with amazing chill vibes that let’s you feel like you belong and always come back ♥️

If there were 10 stars to give, I’d give them. Stopped for brunch and everything exceeded my expectations. Perfectly cooked eggs and home fries. Can’t wait to come back for a dance party. Loved Patrick the best!

Super welcoming, queer-friendly space with a honky tonk splash and a divebar-ish comfort. Nice menu of drinks and fried eats: cheeseburger and fries are made to soak up an extra beer. Neighborly vibe, cool deep booths, event space in the back, dancing and lights beckoning. Chill spot for the regular. Convenient location on Vanderbilt. Great landing for happy and moody chats alike.

The drinks are amazing For a bar, their food is amazing. The flavor the taste I have not walked out of there disappointed. The food is always and I mean always on point Definitely. Try it for yourself to see what im talking about

Best bar in Prospect Heights. Incredible management, great drinks, beautiful bartenders. Patrick is a super hero.

This place is an American Treasure. Celebrating 10 years in Brooklyns Prospect Heights they are the best of the best.Food is epic, Drinks are 🔥, the patio is popping and socially distant, their new frozen drink line up is boozy and beautiful for any Summers day. They have an unwavering dedication to championing safety, health, and inclusivity for all during this pandemic. They are fighting hard to keep this incredible queer outpost and live event space — one of the last remaining open in BK — open and thriving.Say hi to their exceedingly snacky 🤤 and welcoming staff and order one of their incredible Burgers, Wings, Chicken Strips(panko encrusted), Kale Salad 🥗, Branded Fries with parsley & fresh garlic — perfect for social distancing 😉 — and match it with a Spicy Margarita or Frozen Rum Punch! I love the Jack & Smoke where they smoke the Cola in a smoker for 5 hours then put it through their system for the perfect pairing for any whiskey lover. Also love their fresh and 🥒 Cucumbery Van Lear Rose! Dont miss out on one of BKs best!

I would definitely recommend Branded Saloon.Staff is uber welcoming, you feel invited to a new friends house.Food is delicious and Bloody Mary is killer!Definitely going to be my go to spot.

This place is to die for! I was walking around with a friend and we found such a fun place to talk, grab a drink, sing; but also eat and see the most delicious SNACKS in Brooklyn! At Branded you are not Branded…Come as you is!If you’re around, just come in! This kitchen is unreal!!!

Fun local bar for drinks, both inside and outside seating. Small dance floor in the basement and surprisingly nice, clean bathrooms!!

It takes forever to get served. The food takes forever. The tables are actually scummy and sticky. And they put automatic gratuity. Very audacious atmosphere

Amazing brunch menu, super friendly bartender & staff... Loved the Poutine, Chorizo hash & Bread Pudding. Delicious drinks, Watermelon Sangria & Armored Palmer are spot on. Thanks for feeding my happy family...

Their branded burger is very good and their cocktails are great (I had the Georgia Oh My My which is my favorite and tasted my wifes La Passion). Their fries are above average (thick cut with a choice of garlic and herb). My wife (vegetarian) had the Endive & Arugala Salad and the Cheesy Truffle Risotto. She enjoyed both and said the vinaigrette on the salad was fantasic (it smelled quite good to me).

Nice atmosphere, didn’t like the food at all. Tried the chicken strips, burger, onion rings and fries - no to all of the above. Tread cautiously.

I ordered poutine which was described as fries with cheese curds and gravy. It really is just « american cheese » on sloppy fries. No gravy no cheese curds, no flavor just a waist of money. Do not recommend

We had such a great afternoon here! Food drinks and service were all amazing. Kid friendly too !

Its a cool place, relaxed vibe in front while there can also be stuff going with the back room. Good staff, fair prices. A valuable neighborhood staple.

Solid! I was out on a Friday with some friends after the Brooklyn Museum, and was looking for a place to watch drag race found a cozy spot at the branded saloon, where we were able to park ourselves and enjoy the show. The basement could use a bigger TV or projector for screening and, but I still enjoyed the drink got way too lit with those double margs I had a good time after drag race watching the drag performers the local girls earn their coins. Would go back again.

The staff is so awesome here! The food is amazing!!! The drinks are definitely on point!!

Wow. The vibes here are immaculate. Frozen drinks to die for. In the words of my amazing host Patrick, “this drink will take you to punta cana. We are not liable for the return flight”

Really bummed about my experience here recently. I LOVE this place, good food, fun vibes. On this night there was an event going on, it was very busy. Our waiter (who usually rocks) was understandably pulled in all directions. We were fine with expecting the service to be delayed. Our food came out OVER an hour after ordering, and was ice cold (fried food ..!). We had to ask him multiple times, we saw him watching the show between serving tables, and I think he genuinely forgot about us. (barely a sorry was uttered). Still, we were understanding. We asked simply for the cold food to be comped OR even a round of drinks would have made us happy! Very surprised this wasnt immediately offered by him? He was very short with us, promptly said all he could do was a round of shots, and rudely left the check and walked away. ANDDDD added an auto-gratuity of 20% ... (there were four of us dining) ... We would NEVER have stiffed him, we were very understanding and polite to him! To be forced to pay a 20% tip with no option, when we got literally cold food and had to wait so long ... it was super disappointing.

Great place to have drinks! Happy Hour prices were very good. The food ordered by one of the people party was very good. Everyone working there was very nice. The guests were nice as well. The service was a little different. We by the front door of the place. The waitress arrived at our table fairly quickly. However, she disappeared after taking our drink order. Luckily, the rest of the staff were very helpful and eventually brought out most of our drinks. There was a missed order due to a lack of attention on the waitresses part. We were able to have our first toast once the drink situation was sorted out. Getting our second round of drinks was another adventure, so we we limited it to two. We were a party of five. All in all, we had a good time. I will still recommend this place because wait staff can improve. It is in a great spot, and regardless of the service, Snafus, it was a nice experience.

When the server brought our dinner, he knocked my full beer over and spilled it all over me (shorts, shirt and shoes and I was soaked. Asked to comp my meal and was told no.......Ill comp your beer. Nothing to compensate for being soaked or my cleaning bill.

Took about 45 minutes to get three cans of beer when they weren’t that crowded. AC seemed to be broken.

Had a blast here. The staff are tons of fun & the food is to die for. Great cocktails as well.

The best burger on Vanderbilt! The service is friendly + sassy and they have amazing cocktails. Come support this fun place to hang with your friends!!

Had Sunday brunch here and the service was super friendly and the atmosphere is fun and chill. Food was solid and we would definitely come back when were in the neighborhood. Love the queer pride ♥️

Nice spot lovely food and the best service we had by Garett! We will definetly be back!!!!!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Each person on staff was amazing...super friendly and great vibes all around. Had their chorizo egg burger and it was incredible. Great seasoned fried also. Great margaritas and drinks to go. Whats not to love?!?!?

Went last night for the first time to see a show. What a terrific surprise. Cool and welcoming vibe, people of all ages, delicious drinks (say yes to the pina colada) and those crazy delicious fries! The staff is so upbeat and easygoing at the same time. I didnt want to leave and will be back.

Adding 20% gratuity AUTOMATICALLY without telling is scammy. We were two people.

Amazing french fries and ciders. Great cocktails. I like the vibe of this place. Dog friendly (outside tables)

Such a fun gay sports bar! Went to watch the first USA game of the World Cup, and had very tasty wings. Great downstairs space for sports viewing and plenty of TVS around!

Taylor Glasheen and Wiley Gaby were awesome when my friends and I seen them perform on the 6th at Branded Saloon.Love the vibe and the look of the place.Plus the food and drinks were good.Just not a fan of the onion rings but the ribs and wings were amazing.

Food was great, service was even better. We felt right at home!

Automatically adds gratuity and didn’t get my order right, wasn’t a busy night.

Patrick made our experience so special. I was with a large group visiting after a wedding and to say Patrick and the staff took care of us in an understatement. The care and service we received was out of this world. We had such an amazing time.

Came here for the first time with my best friend and let me tell you. Great music great vibes owner greeted us at the door it was wonderful!

This was a terrible exp. The food was disgusting! It seems like they need to change the grease in their fryer. The service was good but the food was bad.The chicken tenders were burnt and hard, I had to use BBQ sauce to eat what I could. The onion rings were disgusting and had some weird taste to it. I will never come back

Food was 45 minute wait.Onion rings were coldSo hungry we didn’t care—-Seemed like this corner spot takes up way more street dining than their three servers can handle.

Going here was definitely an interesting experience. We went for lunch and we’re taken to a table outside. We were told to scan the QR code for the menu and then we waited a very long time for a waiter to come take our order. They have so many tables that I think they forgot about us. They took our order and took our card. Then they forgot one of the drinks( we ordered juice, lemonade and tonic water) and when they brought the one they forgot it was very small compared to the others that were the same price. We then waited again a really long time for our food but they were pretty good portions. We didn’t really have a designated waiter which also made it difficult to get what we needed. When it was time to pay they couldn’t find our card and then a larger group was coming and they moved us from our table. I understand that it may have been busy and for the most part the staff really tried to get us what we needed but it wasn’t the best.

These kind of bars need be visited and treasured! Run by wonderful neighborhood people, it’s an old school gathering spot for happy hour, drinks, bar food and all sorts of delight and debauchery. Branded attracts all the best people, and is a perfect spot for a quick drink or a long slow date. Cool outdoor seating too!

Went here after a show at the Barclays. Sat up front, but there was a leaky AC vent, so we went to the back. Server took about 10 minutes to check in. Food and drinks came out in pretty good time, but the table was really dirty. When we asked for it to be cleaned, server took the napkins she brought with our food to wipe the dirt in circles and basically just spread it out (no wet rag or anything to actually clean it). The food was not so good - typical bland 2am drunk bar food, except we werent drunk. The bar was extremely limited and they charged top dollar for bottom shelf liquor. We asked for water and they brought it in a used rose bottle. It tasted like shower water that had sat for 3 days in a cooler. Waiter never came back to check on us or to give bill or to know I needed utensils. Went to register to pay bill and I wasnt handed a receipt. I paid cash then doubled back to ask for receipt to understand how two drinks and $15 entrees was so much. Turns out there was an automatic 20% gratuity, which on top of the tip I gave, made the full tip 50% of my bill! I was appalled that they didnt even mention there was an automatic tip when I told them the change was a tip. They were legit going to keep my money. I thought that was very dirty to do!! I wont ever go here again!!!

Great local bar with friendly staff and a good atmosphere

I’ve been to the Branded Saloon years ago and walked by today and decided to get a drink with my partner. We each ordered a vodka soda double. The bill for these two drinks came to $41. They charged 14 dollars for two singles, added an additional 18 for “drink and mixer”. On top of that, they automatically added on a 20% gratuity ($7 for two drinks). I asked if this total was correct and they said yes. If you decide to support this establishment, drink at the risk of your wallet.

The music is tough literally just Taylor Swift radio. The food is good! But really my problem is the $5 club sodas. Extremely out of pocket. No heads up up from staff. This is a huge yikes and I cant forgive it. You only know once the bill comes, and by then its too late.

This place was fun, went for a friends comedy show. The fries were great and the burgers 🍔 looked amazing as well, Ill definitely hafta go back and try em. Met cool people 🌈friendly🗽

I hosted a holiday party and Branded and it was wonderful! The staff was flexible, friendly, and accomodating of our changing needs. The food was delicious, the basement was set up really nicely, and overall it was a great time. Support a queer business!!!

Great ambiance, super fun staff, delicious cocktails. ask for Patrick for a wild cocktail menu description! And bring cash if your going for a drag show 10/10 would recommend enjoying the fabulous performances.

Andrew, youre too good for this world.The Branded Saloon is the hero we need, not the hero we deserve. Great food, delicious drinks, but even more the staff is kind. I told Andrew I was here visiting for my birthday and they made sure to make sure I felt special.I hope all of you succeed. Thanks, friends. Much love from Omaha.

I am worried about posting too nice of a review because Branded is one of the best, most inclusive bars, you can experience in Brooklyn. The staff is amazing, the seating is ample, and the drinks are incredible and overflowing. I love this place so much, please dont tell your friends because its a literal gem.

Have had so many good experiences here. Cant wait to return. Great food and booze.

Good prices, not a lot of space they sat our table in an unheated tent in February.

Great spot! Everyone who works here is exceptionally kind and welcoming.

We asked them to turn on the sports during the US Women’s Open Final and in 30 seconds that had it on on multiple TVs in the bar. So accommodating and service was excellent.

Came here alone on a Friday night to drink and mingle, met some friendly people from the neighborhood but didn’t feel super welcome by the staff. I was asked to move seats twice, the first time banished from a bar table because I wasn’t eating (just drinking) and the second time from a booth to make room for non-existent parties of 4, even when there were plenty of other tables. Maybe fine if you’re in a group, but would hesitate to come back alone :/ bummed me out

Friendly staff! Went to the music fest this Wed (I was told it was the first?) The music was great and I had fun drawing during performances. Nice vibes here.

Came here for the first time for brunch on Saturday and what a great first impression .. food was great… mama say mama ma mama mimosa (as Patrick would say) was refreshing. Patrick our waiter was excellent he made us feel like we knew him already… cant wait to come again.

I dunno. Seems like an okay local spot. I paid $12 for a warm beer. Doesn’t seem like the kind of place to meet new people, no common areas — everyone was kind of atomized with their friends at their own tables. Rats running around on the sidewalk. I told the server about the beer and he happily agreed it was warm, and other people have said the same thing, without offering to replace it. I left after a few sips and he cheerfully waved me goodbye. I won’t be coming back.

Loved our visit, friendly staff, good food, good drinks. Will come back.

This is a fun, friendly, eclectic place to enjoy drink, food, people watching and/or good company. The burgers look crazy good. They have any drink you could want made well. The disco fries (poutine) gave lots of fresh garlic and excellent cheese sauce; theyre addictive. The staff has got you, dont worry, theyre smart, charismatic, and witty.

Great karaoke night but I barely go because the drinks are so ridiculously expensive. Beers are like 12 dollars....dont think ive ever seen a beer cost that much at any bar anywhere in the world, even at a super fancy wine bar in manhattan a beer would only be like $9 at the most. Not sure what makes branded, just a nice little bar, think it is at all appropriate to charge this much. Totally wrong for them to exploit the queer community in the area like this and every time i go there you can see the look on people s faces like dang we aint ever coming back here. If not for karaoke I dont know why you would. Its just beer, you can sell more if its cheaper and keep your customers happy. Super lame.

Patrick was amazing and sold me on trying the restaurant from the beginning with his personality , the entire staff was attentive and kind. Food is great . Drinks are great, shout-out to the bartender . Love it overall. Highly recommend.

The space and the vibe is very lively indeed. I have been wanting to go there for months. I had warned by friends just have drinks there and not to eat anything. I should have listened. WHat a series disgusting foods we had.. the fries were worst than Mcdonalds fries, the fish and the batter was nothing like fried fish, the sangria was sugared water... we had very good time because of our own company. Later , we all went our homes and had some decent food.

Well-balanced drinks, delicious food, welcoming environment, and incredible service from patrick. thank you for welcoming us home, filling our bellies, and making us smile!!

Friendly hangout! Good beers and drinks.

This was my first time at Branded Saloon. We were told to just pick a table to sit, so we did. There were no physical menus given to us and no QR code on the table. When the waiter Antonio approached us, he didnt ask how we were doing and just went to do you know what you want? Well, we didnt because we didnt have menus. Antonio rolled his eyes at us and said the QR code was on a board, off the sidewalk on the street. We asked for water and he said with a tone, Water is over there. If you want it, you can go get it. We then ordered spicy margaritas. My friends margarita was muddled with so much jalapeno that it was undrinkable. When we asked if that could be changed, Antonio went straight to no and told us with attitude that we would have to pay for it because its spicy for a reason. Then I said, well would you be able to mix in more simple syrup and make it more mild, which is what Antonio should have offered instead of being rude. We didnt say we werent planning to pay. We just wanted the drink to be fixed. I then ordered Greek fries and added bacon. I asked Antonio if the bacon would be bacon bits and cut up, to which he said yes. When the fries came, they were overcooked and with a side of long bacon strips. Has anyone ever put long bacon strips on fries? Makes no sense. I barely ate them. At the end we were FORCED to pay the 20% auto-gratuity on our party of two on top of it all. It was outrageous. The service from Antonio was terrible. When I asked another waiter, Andrew, for the auto-gratuity to be taken off and explained what was happening, Antonio came over and told me in front of the other server that we were the ones being rude. To which I replied, How have I been rude to you? Antonio had no answer to that and said, You can go on the website and complain. Then Antonio walked off with a smirk and giggling. I just moved down the block and now plan to never go back to this establishment. There was also no management on site. The servers were working on their own clearly unsupervised. Andrew asked me to leave my phone number so he could try to reach management to do something about it, but nothing was done. Hence this review.

The drag brunch was excellent! The food and the atmosphere were great and the staff and performers amazing, would recommend :)

Best fish and chips Ive ever had (go for the garlic fries option). Waitstaff is friendly, efficient and fun! What more could you want from the neighborhood queer dive?

We sat outside on Friday for the weekend street closure. Beautiful scenery on the street, attentive service and great food. We had an outstanding bratwurst sandwichin very Bavarian style on a hard roll and a very generous portion of Gazpacho soup washed down with Coney Island 16 oz. beer. On Friday get there early. All outside seating is full by 5:30 pm!

What wonderful friendly place. Alex Alex Alex!!!! She is kind, caring, attentive and very pro. But that seems to be that vibe with all the staff. Laid back place. Good food and drinks. With good people to serve you, it makes it a great establishment for the community in my opinion. Don’t miss out. Check them out.

Great queer friendly bar with decent bar food, great service and vibes. Good outdoor seating and indoor. Come on a sunny saturday— heaven.

Came here on a Saturday evening and was seated directly under speakers that were playing house music so loud my whole party felt nauseated. I kind of felt like we should have been dancing instead of eating, so if thats your vibe this is the place for you. Staff seemed super friendly but overwhelmed, so service was slow (but given the pandemic, this is really not a complaint—I assume this is not the norm). Decor looks caught somewhere between rustic and college dorm. The music was too loud for us to hear each other, so we left before we could order any food.

I cruised over to Branded to meet my friends Robby and Nicole for a drink. We ended up staying for a few hours, enjoying some amazing drinks and food, courtesy of Patrick and Mars and so many rad people. Greg Banks (@gregbanksmusic) was awesome and so were the blueberry pancakes. Give this place a shot, you’ll be glad you did!

Go for the drinks and fries, stay for Patrick. This is the perfect destination, whether youre looking for a drink on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, or ready to roll deep for a birthday celebration. Cant say enough about the food and the staff, would recommend this spot to anyone.

I cant say enough positive things about this place! drinks are amazing and the staff is full of the loveliest people!! im constantly grateful to live within walking distance of such an awesome spot. the energy in there is top tier and im already looking forward to my next night out at Branded ❤️

One of my local spots, but this time I went in for karaoke. Great DJ, good vibes. Branded Burger was excellent as always, with bacon, blue cheese, and bourbon BBQ sauce.

Branded saloon has a fun vibe and generally friendly staff so those are the positives. Food was fine.The negatives are as follows:1. Overpriced: ordered a black coffee, it came in a paper cup, tasted like it has been sitting for hours and then got the bill at it was $5!!! i mean how can this be. The meal in general was not very expensive otherwise but for the place it was overpriced.2. All plastic and paper cups and utensils. Cmon theyre just saving on cleaning staff and in turn creating a cheap experience with an insane amount of waste. We received like 9 plastic containers throughout the meal to house mayonnaise, ketchup, beer etc etc. lame and a bit sad.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for a beer on an extremely hot city day. We were told to sit anywhere and had an umbrella put up for us at one of the picnic tables. The guy who sat us told us there was water in a jug to refill nice ice cold water. Then after a while another guy came over to “take our order” immediately asked us if more people would be joining and wasn’t pleasant in telling us that they reserve the tables for larger parties. We told him we could move but we’re told we could sit wherever. He did the same thing to a couple of women who sat at the table behind us. If you are begging for help to stay open for another 10 years, this guy isn’t helping. I wanted to leave immediately due to his demeanor. I gave 3 stars because we didn’t have any food, just a beer, we wouldn’t have stayed to try the food anyway due to how we were treated.

Love this place! My friend and I got the slushie drinks which were so delish. Also the servers are amazing and the vibe is fun!

A neighborhood classic! Always great vibes. Obsessed w the chicken fingers, obsessed with the employees. Fab folks, fun events, very inclusive!

Fantastic drinks and French fries, but especially phenomenal service! Patrick in particular was so warm, kind, and funny all while handling a large Friday night crowd. Big fan of this establishment and will be coming back again for sure!

This place has to be one of the most happiest, but in the world! Whenever I come here, the bags, the bartender, the food, and the surprise entertainment of the evening. Never fail!!! Definitely coming back on Wednesdays!!!

THANK YOU Branded Saloon for speedy delivery of my delicious burger and cocktail during these trying times for everyone. Youve always been a great spot in the neighborhood for food, drinks and music. Everyone, please contact them and get some good grub!

Went to eat for the first time as I’ve been at the bar before. The food is ok. The server/bartender on shift wouldn’t prepare a coffee because he didn’t know how to. When I asked for the check, he overcharged me first. When I asked him to correct the issue and also about the automatic tip charge, he got really upset using the pandemic as an excuse for the overcharge. I requested the tip to be refunded so I can tip appropriately. Then he double charged my card, wouldn’t remove the automatic tip and was super rude throughout. Worst service EVER. I’m never coming back and won’t recommend the place unless you enjoy being blatantly robbed while you dine.

They didnt have the drink I ordered, but both the Bartender and server cake to me to offer great alternatives!!!!! I ordered the Georgia Oh, My, My.....and it is absolutely tasty and delightful! Thank You for not having the first drink, because I love the one I received!

Patrick made the worst of days SO MUCH BETTER! Even last week they sold multiple rounds and food to a group that was full and ‘not really drinking’Overall their service makes the experience (food and drink also amazing).

Happy to see new faces serving food and drinks here (S/O to Megan) but when I see Patrick on patrol alls truly right with the world.(Shy Ronny, disco fries and the Cobb salad are my love language)

One of my favorite spots in Brooklyn for live music!

This place is fine and even likable, but THEY ADD A GRATUITY FOR ALL THEIR CHECKS AND DO NOT WARN YOU, so - you could tip them $35 dollars on a $90 check for 5 drinks and 1 fries. Eat drink and pay at your own risk

I have to give props to this establishment. Its new to me again. I look forward to coming back to watch drag race Friday night. And from prior experience, the food is good. Ill be grabbing a bite to go home with. Thumbs up!

The staff is really friendly and generally quick. Food is pretty good and they have specially seasoned branded fries that are a delight. The selection of beers isnt vast, but the choices are pretty good.

General good atmosphere and drinks. Some confusion over order of drinks ensued and took a looong time to resolve. Servers appeared graceful in solving the problem however I ended up being overcharged even after 20% gratuity (fair) already included in bill. Retained the receipt and discrepancy only found when looking at credit statement...

Good vibes, cheap drinks, solid French fries, and very lgbtq friendly. Staff is fun but not necessarily the best waiters/bartenders in the world. Go there for a good time, good music, and a laidback environment, not much else.

Fun night out here! Fabulous staff, fantastic cocktails, best onion rings and delicious crispy brussel sprouts. So enjoyed the good vibes and laughs shared by staff and patrons.

The friendliest staff, the best drinks, and the yummiest food! I loved Branded long before the pandemic, and I love them even more now for keeping everyones spirits up during the worst of times. Thank you, Branded, for being the heart of the neighborhood!

Nice little place. Yes they serve drinks in used Polaner All Fruit jars and have gluten free beer (hear that, celiac sufferers?), but its not pretentious or stuck up at all. The drinks are actually good and not expensive, the food is really great, and the staff kick ass.

I checked out the reviews on Google before I placed my Door Dash order. Might I add, I was VERY excited to place the order based off my findings. I ordered 2 mac and cheeses (looks amazing in pics advertised on Door Dash and google). What I received was 2 plain, bland macaroni noodles with UNMELTED, shredded cheddar cheese sitting on top as if my mac and cheese was a taco (picture it). I Still cannot believe the cheese was literally cold & unmelted. This was my first time ordering from this place & Im extremely appalled at the Macaroni & cheese tacos I received. 😐 I took a bite anyway & immediately discarded both orders along with my $40something I spent on Door Dash for this.

Very chill enjoyable place. went at just before Midnight, place was crowded but not overly packed, high energy but even with a band playing in back, not to loud to have a conversation. Got the Branded burger.. it was the singularly most remarkable experience of my night. Drinks were good, and decent sie. Kept switching between tv and music though which was a bit jarring though.Would absolutely come back

Good food, drinks, and vibes. But it can get expensive quick

This is a fun place to go hang out. The food is decent but it takes a while for it to come. That said, its still a friendly vibe with friendly and welcoming staff. The tacos are pretty good and the chicken fingers are great.

It works like a bar, but we had lunch there. There were booths and music being played. We sat on the back. Nice food, nice staff.

We return here again and again. The food is awesome, but its Patrick, the most charging server in Bk, that makes this spot magic.

I dont like burgers with too much on them because I want the flavor of the meat to come thru, so I usually go with just with lettuce, tomatoe and some version of either raw or cooked onions.Branded offered crumpled blue cheese so I tried it and thought it was very good.As for the quality of the burger itself I would say it fell somewhere between what youd get at a true steakhouse and a chain like bareburger.The seasoned French fries had good snap to them.

Branded Saloon has the best service!! I called in to give a gift to one of the performers and they were so friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

Went for a week night dinner - the food was good and a good price, plus there’s a ton of outdoor seating and it’s a nice chill vibe! Definitely plan to come back!

Cant say enough about this place --its awesome! I happened upon it one evening while visiting friends in Brooklyn and was very pleasantly surprised. Their unique and eclectic menu had my mouth watering immediately. The bartender Tammy Wynette was not only tops with the service, but had also successfully charmed the begeezus out of myself and all the other patrons within minutes. I immediately felt welcomed and at home.I had the Mac-n-Cheese with Shrimp and garlic fries--nom nom nom!. Fresh garlic on my fries--I was in heaven! And subsequently repelled all vampires for the following two days LOLThe fun vintage country and western tunes and gorgeous interior had my toe tappin the whole time and mesmerized by the fantastic interior--the wagon wheel chandelier they have is totally sick! Fun and friendly crowd and delectable eats--i left with a satisfied palate and a smile on my face. Cant wait to go back and try their brunch menu!Since Nolita House closed, I wonder why the Boozy Bluegrass Brunch hasnt ventured down there yet?

What a great spot!! Our waiter Patrick listed allllll the best things and TBH better than the menu 😂11/10 would recommend for a drink with a crew of friends

Great place, great vibe and food and decent prices

Bartender was drunk at 4pm. Waited almost an hour before checking back in and realizing she put nothing in. Food was sub-par, atmosphere is lame, all and all there’s far too many good choices to go here for anything other than getting hammered.

Fun corner bar with generally good service. Now that they’ve got lots of outdoor space, it’s even better but sometimes it can get a little too busy. Nice simple place with a decent vibe though.

Very little if any vegan options. Service was friendly enough but also judgey. Dining in came with all, single use, disposable everything... cups, plastic cutlery. Covid isnt spread through disware.

A straight-friendly gay bar with a honky-tonk theme, live music, trivia, and great bar snacks (frito pie!). ive always had fun, friendly bartenders and wait staff here. it can get a little loud for my taste, but overall this is a lively and fun local joint.

I had an absolutely sublime time enjoying the rum punch and pina colada amongst other fine beverages here. Patrick is an excellent bartender and was extremely kind helpful and lovely!!!! highly recommend 10/10

This place is the best local gem. The staff is awesome, the drinks are always amazing and the food is quick and delicious. We love it.

Good place to go for a pint, especially with a larger group. Food is OK. Pool room in back and a nice space for events like open mics.Safe space for the lbgtq community.

PATRICK PATRICK PATRICK what an amazing time and beautiful staff. Haven’t felt this loved by hosts in so long. Everyone was so kind and attentive. Truly a wonderful experience.Also BLUE BERRY PANCAKES and LA PASIÓN

Our server Patrick was amazing and the drinks were good. A really super bar!

A fun place to hang out with friends. Incredibly friendly staff and a great bunch of neighborhood locals. Always fun on a Thursday, but I am yet to attend their Pub Quiz and Trivia. Always living in hope!

The best karaoke, food and vibes!!

Great food menu, and they deliver. The branded burger is seriously delicious and theres a fair number of vegetarian friendly items that arent beyond impossible.

I like the frito pies. I played pool here and they gave all the APA folks a decent discount. Ive also sung karaoke here on Thursday night a few times. Thats generally fairly empty (sadly, the dude running the karaoke doesnt have the best country selection).

Great atmosphere and location. Delicious food and strong tasty alcoholic drinks

One of the servers was rude to me. He would not serve me but would serve the other tables. I was in the only PoC table at the place. Patrick, however excelled in service when I called this out. He’s an excellent server. The other guy tho

Went in for a combo of Trivia and Karaoke and had a blast with a bunch of friends. Staff was very friendly, and the food was also good. Well definitely go back for some more drunken singing!

Patrick is the best host at this restaurant. The food and drinks are good but hes the reason for the 5 star review.

Great for drinks. Cool vibe. Great service. Unfortunately do not rate their food. Food was mediocre. But dont let that put u off for going for drinks and atmosphere

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Friendly staff and really chill vibe. The beer selection was decent and the food was pretty solid too. I think the food was a taaaddd bit overpriced for what is was, but still an overall solid establishment.

Knowing Brandon Saloon their service was good. This visit I was very disappointed. Waiting a long time and running out of everything I asked for. They just finished Brunch, but you have to get ready for the next round

Had a blast doing karokee. Only negative is that its very limited seats. DJ is awesome. Great crowd. Amazing singers! Great energy.

Im sure this place has appeal to some people at certain times, perhaps during events, but the few times we went there, we were annoyed by the lack of attention by the bartender, even though we were seated at the bar. I wouldnt go there for the food, either, unless you like uneven cooking and Cafe Bustelo coffee during brunch.

Good experience, friendly bartenders — but 20% gratuity was added to our bill without telling us, bringing four beers to $50.

Awesome music venue with incredibly well mixed sound and a wonderful friendly staff. Great food from the restaurant upstairs too!

Love the drinks and staff. They treat you well. I went here on a Sunday afternoon. The only thing that sucked what their music playing in the background.

The best thick cut herb fries. It’s like tabouli with a great crunch, soft inside. Negronis are great too. Ample outdoor seating ;)

Upbeat, colorful, entertaining and friendly inclusive space

I ordered delivery on Caviar and the food was really bad, which was surprising because the reviews seemed really good. We ordered Mac and cheese and it had hunks of bread placed on top - some toasted, some untoasted, which I assume was supposed to be the panko breadcrumbs. There was also random chunks of what was looked like sliced cheese kind of melted on top. The cheese sauce itself was also just not great, would prefer to make a box of Mac and cheese tbh. Also ordered potato skins, same weird chunks of cheese semi melted, ultimately ended up scraping the toppings off and just eating the potato

Such friendly folk! The chef is fantastic, great food served quickly and with great ingredients. Sit outside and enjoy the Brooklyn walking by!

Solid local bar, good bar food, lots of fun live music in their back room before the pandemic…warm atmosphere for queer and groovy people

LGBTQ friendly, attentive staff and cool old bar. Was with my 19 year old and they whipped a nice virgin mojito, she loved it!

Patrick is the man, serving mother for reals…Margs are amazing. 10/10 recommend

The perfect US bar. Great drinks, great bar food and wonderful service. 11/10, we love you Patrick!

Service and food both good, mandatory 20% gratuity is scammy

Amazing bar - drinks and food are AMAZING and worth the money. Also super cute waiter named Nico who will bless you with great drink recommendations ❤️❤️

They’re always such a positive presence in the neighborhood- they even lent my friend a bit of neighborly help that had nothing to do with purchasing anything from them. Food and service are great, too!

My wife and I love to go on Thursday night for karaoke! Food is great! Drinks are Great.

Four stars for this delightful pub with musical and alternative entertainment. Great place to grab a beer and some grub or enjoy a show, and the staff is welcoming and friendly!

Nice little place. Small tight space for show though. Good food and prices, drinks prices are high, but you know it BK so...

If youre starving/thirsty and needing to kill an hour while waiting for your table at chuko, this is a pretty awesome place to go...extra points for the frito pie thats made with chili-cheese flavored fritos (where they come from, i have no idea!).

Used to love this place and this time it took 15 minutes to get drinks and 45 minutes to get wings and a burger. Aldo, it was not busy at all. Very sad that this place has changed so much.

AMAZING PLACE with awesome staff! Good God I love a friendly, laid back bar. Great food, too!

Place is amazing. I love the TikTok server and the rest. They’re amazing. Fries are the best fries I’ve ever had.

Follow the rainbow. We got two delicious beers. Loved it!

A fun place to meet friends. Their pool table in the basement is usually free and you can control the music down there if you feel like paying the jukebox

The service was a bit slow but it was super busy so we completely understood. The food was great and the atmosphere really added to our enjoyment!

Fantastic vibe, friendly staff, amazing music selection. Couldn’t ask for a better place to drink and enjoy a Friday night.

Their Buffalo sauce is DIVINE I would eat a tub a day if I could 🔥🔥🔥 order everything Buffalo and get a side of Buffalo sauce with the fried pickles!!!

I was skeptical about gettin the fish n chips but it was worth it omg ! I got the garlic and herbs fries ! I wanted to take a picture but i couldn’t stop eating lol

Everything you could ever want in a bar. Friendly service. Great drinks. Exceptional food.

Loved it. Great beer, cocktails and friendly service. Going back soon.

Really nice local place for pub food and drinks. The hot wings were really good!

The staff is very friendly and attentive and although the menu is limited, the food is great!

Staff is sooooo sweet, food and drinks are really yummy 🤍

Love this place! Atmosphere is great. Drinks were fantastic. Service was fantastic!

Best Bloody Mary bar in the city!!! Super friendly staff and customers. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn ❤️

Great hanger steak and fine cocktails in a cosy setting. Super friendly staff too.

Great cocktails and wonderful staff. Super queer bar in BK.

Nice space and gay friendly. But the bartenders seem to purposely ignore people. Sorry it never going back.

This is a neighborhood institution! Great good, vibes, and service. Stop by and support and enjoy.

Bartenders are giving stress vibes and some random lady in the back tries to tarot card people on Fridays but isn’t upfront about the costs

Waiter with the cowboy hat and purple tank, Friday night KILLED IT shout out to you!! Food was amazing, ambiance outdoors was superb.

Wonderful staff and a chill place to hang out. Highly recommend! Let’s support our local businesses in this tough time.

Very cute and tasty place with a large variety of bar food. The service is a bit slow.

Great corner bar that always has something going on. Just updated the menu and so far everything is delicious.

Great spot for happy hour- margaritas, food included. Nice outdoor seating during the summer months.

Food was excellent! Karaoke DJ was awesome! Vibe was amazing! Definitely need to go back!!!

Friendliest bar around, and the real deal queer community bar. Appreciate ya!

Good food and drink options but they charged me $5 for a coca cola and their beers were $9 each...thats a bit much

Just ordered the best shutdown-takeout— delicious burgers and fries were ready really quick.

Great service. Great bar food. Heat lamps and outdoor seating!

Interesting space but the back room becomes overpacke; which made the visit not enjoyable.

Its a good bar to have a happy hour in the summer, because it has tables in the sidewalk.

Great vibe, great queer bar, fantastic burgers, wonderful service.

An incisive, fun, and super friendly spot. Youll find me here multiple times a week to hang with the staff.

Perfekt service the female bar staff is fantastisk 💯 the one owner are Guy is stupid and only think about cash
