Came here on a Sunday night. Did not expect to walk into such a nice location and the bartenders, David and Andrew, were so welcoming and friendly. Had an amazing espresso martini made by David followed by some great laughs and conversation. Vibes in here are absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to go back.

Great food vibes. Cocktail list and backbar were super solid. Few places in the area offer such a balance of hospitality, aesthetic, and product. Make sure to check it out while you’re in Bushwick.

Stopped by here on the 4th of July on the way home from dinner. The service was great and the drinks were super solid. I got their version of a dirty martini — the brine they use is house made. Cool but also casual vibe. I didn’t try the food but looking forward to going again soon.

Oh how things change… I was a big fan of the former establishment in this location — 983. I went in thinking it’d be similar, which was probably my mistake, but this is definitely aimed to be less of a casual brunch/lunch spot like 983 was, and more like a swanky cocktail bar that happens to also serve a few food items. The burger I had was good, but for $15 I found myself wishing it came with fries. Overall pretty good, but if you were a Life Cafe/983 fan, reset your expectations accordingly.
