This is one of the most “Brooklyn” restaurant/cafes I’ve been to in the borough. As a non-vegan, the food was exceptional and probably had the best cup of coffee I’ve had in a while. The atmosphere is what ties this all together, upon getting seated I realized how well the acoustics sounded topped off with some J Dilla to really set the mood. Me and the wifey are coming back with friends!

It's my second time here to see top notch underground House DJ's. I appreciate that those who showed up are actual house heads who come to enjoy the music and craft of the selectors. The entire public records crew do a great job of keeping things moving and ensuring we have a good time. While there are the girlies and bros who don't dance and take space on the dance floor talking killing the vibe, they are usually gone by 1am and then the real house heads can enjoy. Can't wait to come back!

Stopped by for brunch today. Absolutely delicious and creative food, awesome vibes and very friendly and professional service! Loved every second.

Had a great night, DJs were great but it seemed like nobody was dancing and just chit chatting all over the dancefloor? Seems like a much younger crowd. (22-25) I guess in Boerum Hill there is no other comparable venue. No hate it was my first time here and I had a wonderful experience with my friends. Thank you ❤️💕

I was here for an event to listen to a new record that was being released tonight. It was a bit confusing once we arrived… there’s a restaurant, a club downstairs, a lounge/listening room upstairs. We initially went inside the restaurant and were told to go wait outside until a black door opened. When it opened, we stood in line to get our tickets and IDs checked but were told by the staff that we were upstairs, so we had to go back outside and enter another black door. We ended up going upstairs to the listening room that had a small bar in the back. It’s a nice area; brightly lit during the day but intimate once the sun sets but extremely hot inside (they only had the windows open). Got a couple of beers (from Threes Brewing) to drink while listening to the entire record. It was pretty cool since the artist, Eliana Glass, was sitting right next to us since her friends were sharing a table with us. We didn’t realize it was her until we overheard their convo. She ended up performing a couple of her songs live. Definitely an interesting experience that we would have no clue about if Spotify hadn’t informed us of the free ticketed event.
