A nice intimate neighborhood bar with excellent bartending service. I accidentally left my wallet at the bar while paying for my drink. I realized I left my wallet at the bar an hour later when I left the bar. I immediately called the bar and the bartender quickly picked up and I told him the situation. He asked a few questions about my wallet and said he had it with him! I'm forever grateful for this bar! Cannot wait to go soon again.

Minnie's Bar should be a case-study in how to "upgrade" a neighborhood bar without ruining the atmosphere... or alienating the people who actually live in the neighborhood. At once casual and classy, debonair and divey, with a friendly and experienced staff who, from the top down, genuinely care about the community they are serving. The word "diversity" gets thrown around a lot these days, but on any given night (or afternoon) at Minnie's, you can walk in and find grizzled day laborers drinking next to done-up drag queens, nerdy young tabletop gamers cavorting beside OG Sunset Park locals, and a wild mix of assorted hotties of every gender and persuasion lounging in the 420-friendly back yard. The bartenders dish out high-end cocktails and lowbrow beer-and-shot specials with equal passion, and without a whiff of judgement or pretension. Rumor has it that there's even a celebrity guest barmaid who moonlights behind the taps on special occasions. If you're lucky, you'll catch the bar's 4-legged namesake, Minnie, roaming the floor looking for affection and treats. Lit Up Trivia and the Kings of Karaoke happen every week on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively. And on the last Tuesday of the month, Attack of the 50-Foot Movie features cult movies in the back room, accompanied by live drag and burlesque acts. If you want to know where true bar culture, in every sense of word, is happening in Sunset Park these days, look no further than this little gem.

Good times here with Ashley, the bartender that makes the best green tea shot and spends the night talking about trivia.

Hole in the wall tiny bar just down the street from The L Astoria Collection Hotel. They were doing karaoke on Saturday night. Drinks were good and stiff. Would visit again if visiting NYC area, very fun atmosphere.

A lot of bars have board games, but for most of them it's clearly whatever they picked up at the thrift shop, you know? But this place has board games picked out by someone who knows the current state of board game design. They're not games where you have to spend an hour reading the rules, but they're also not just Monopoly and Scrabble--they're games that are fun, approachable, and actually designed in this century. Board game geekery aside, this is a cool place. Friendly bartender, nice outdoor space, and a cider on tap.

This is your classic neighborhood bar. It's lit tastefully, the music is fun and the bartender is friendly. Karaoke's on Saturday. Bingo's on Thursday. Trivia's on Wednesday. What more do you want? A drink, perhaps? The beer selection is tight and tasty. Grab a beer & shot combo for less than $10 or one of the many $12 cocktails. They have bar snacks too!! Come on down and make a new friend

Great bar! Bartenders know what's up and are very music knowledgeable, which is huge for a music nerd like me. The back area is pretty dope when the weather is good. They also have a sick collection of board games. Total destination bar that everyone should hit up!

Went last week for the first time because they have trivia on Wednesdays. The staff is very friendly )the bartender told me about several taco spots in the neighbourhood where I could get a fix) and Minnie the dog (for whom the bar is named) will lovingly try to eat your food. The trivia was a really fun time (shout out to Craig!) and I'd like to go back in warmer weather to check out the back patio. Good drink selection and I appreciate any bar that has hot cider on the menu.

Cool bar with a cool yard. Walking distance to/from Industry City if you need a change in scenery. Great draft beer and can options as well!
