The Ten Bells Brooklyn 65 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

"Freezing Tuesday night and I was feeling like a new place. Walked in and the place is immaculate. Gorgeous!!! Sat at the bar and the bartender was unwelcoming at best. The fact that they don’t carry seltzer water is kinda weird. I did started my night saying I wasn’t drinking so I kinda maybe understand the lack of interest from the bartender. So I ended drinking tap water lol Papas bravas were gorgeous, jamón serrano felt a little old and the chorizo was just ok. I hope to come back to a table, next time I’ll be drinking."

"Friendly service and a good place to bring a group for happy hour. We had 10 people and we ordered a pretty large assortment of oysters and some of the other tapas plates for the table. Most people had the happy hour martinis, which were tasty. The oysters were the best oysters I’ve ever had, a little bit on the small side, and some of the shells were cracked (we had some thing like six or eight dozen so the poor guy was probably struggling to keep up), and I would say these were relatively low quality oysters, but “ok”."

"I think my favorite thing about this place is the back patio. Although there are a lot of mosquitos. It feels very much like an East Coast Maine thing eating oysters in a green, breezy, shady patio. The happy hour special cannot be beat... $1 oysters at 4pm! I ordered the duck rinette/rounette/rillette or something as well and found it too plain. But oysters - very good."

"Came here for happy hour for my birthday and definitely did not disappoint. Taylor was very nice and the service was excellent. I love the vibe of this place. It definitely feels like you’re in the city. And I love the lighting and decors. We had their $1 oysters and happy hour drinks. Oysters were fresh and good and our drinks were great as well. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!"
