Bar Bedford,

353 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11211, United States

"I recently visited Bar Bedford in Williamsburg and loved it! Even though I wasn’t a guest at the hotel and just walked in from the street, I was welcomed warmly. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, I would totally work from here or just hang. And props to Will and Luisa, who helped me while I was there! They were attentive, friendly, and had great recs! Shout out!"

"I always stay at this property because of its location. The hotel staff are great and the rooms (while small) are new and clean. The bar situation is terrible though. The hotel charges $25 per day as a sort of "resort fee" and then gives you $25 drink credit. I have literally never been able to use this in any of my trips here. The rooftop does not accept it and the Bedford bar closes at 10:30pm. This is not how hotel bars work. In addition, the bartenders are rude. I literally just had a bartender wipe the counter around me in an almost comical fashion because he wants me to leave. It's 11pm. This has nothing to do with hospitality, is unprofessional and unpleasant, and is certainly not the type of service one expects at a Marriott brand or as an elite member. I hope they eventually get the bar situation under control. I regularly see them turn away more people than I see them serve."

"We are regulars at The Moxy. We live nearby and family loves to stay here when they visit. But my experience at Bar Bedford today was so shady and annoying that I am not sure we’ll be back. I ordered a glass of wine at 4:40 and told Alex the bartender I’d be back after 5 to order a happy hour snack. At 5:10 I ordered a falafel buns with Alex. Which were delicious, for what it’s worth. When I went to close out - with a different bartender as it seemed Alex had left - I was not provided an itemized receipt and the total was more than I was expecting it to be ($42 vs $29). So I asked for an itemized receipt and saw that I was charged $11 instead of $5 for the falafel. I said I ordered after 5pm and was told well the happy hour one only has one falafel, the regular one has two. And when I said no one informed me there were two options when I ordered, I was told “I’m sorry about that” in a condescending tone making it clear they were not going to do anything about it. Then I noticed that gratuity had been added at 22% (not deserved) but that was only on the itemized receipt, which I had to ask for, and I could have easily tipped 40% without knowing it. That is shady AF to me. If you are adding gratuity, that should be made clear to the customer. I’m not upset about $13, but I am very annoyed at how it all was handled and the whole thing felt like a shady way to get more money out of people. I liked hanging out there but probably won’t be back."

"Bar Bedford stands out as the epitome of class in Brooklyn, especially for those craving an impeccably crafted old fashioned. The ambiance exudes sophistication, setting the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. However, it's the exemplary service that truly elevates the experience, with staff who go above and beyond to ensure every patron feels welcomed and well-cared for. Whether you're a connoisseur of cocktails or simply seeking a refined atmosphere to unwind, Bar Bedford is the place to be for an unforgettable night out in the city."

"Spent some time here in the afternoon with my friends here after our stay in the hotel! We could not drag ourselves out of this place. We stayed for almost 4 hours because we were enjoying it so much. The food and beverage selection was awesome. We had hummus which was one of the best hummus’s I have had. A little later we had the burrata which came with a great tomato and pomegranate sauce. Our bartender Terry was so nice and made me a really cute and tasty prickly pear lemonade. He made some good recommendations for my friends too, they had espresso martinis and tried a couple of wines by the glass and they were all very good. I would definitely try to come back here if I was in the area, I want to try their burger and zaatar fries. For the quality of the food and service I found it to be a great value with small plates under $20 and they do have happy hour from 5-7. It looked pretty fun and busy at night as well."
