I went to this bar on my way home and it greatly exceeded my grim expectations! They did not have milk available but my bartender alex was quick to recommend alternate. He made me this great cherry limeade with vodka and it was, awesome. Perhaps I will come everyday now if available!

I'm from the south and this 100% the best fried check I've ever had in my entire life. In house sauces blew my mind, generous portions for the price. Reasonably priced drink and world class cocktails. Bar tender (Angel) was one of the best I have ever had. If you're rating this place as anything other than 5 stars you are out of your mind. Happy hour specials were God tier as well.

NGL I was surprised how much I loved this spot. It's a great place to get a drink, and an even better place to watch a show. I loved the space, the venue area in the back is truly amazing. Everyone working was really respectful, and nice. I'm glad I didn't listen to the local curmudgeons and found myself at an amazing local show. May the live music live on, long after we're gone! Cheers, Alphaville

As a person who lives in the community for 20+ years, I'm very saddened this place got reopened. No offense to the owners or people who work there but this place is truly a disruption to the community and those who live around it.

I love going to concerts! My spending categories are definitely art, booze, food and shows! And Alphaville covers most of those needs. I've popped in here many times for a beer or a small snack of fried goodies but I have not been for a show. I was excited to see local modern goth rockers "Bootblacks" and romantic, goth band "Weeknight" were playing together. "Weeknight" had been on hiatus and therefore the turn out was pretty huge. The entire bar was jam packed. The place is CASH ONLY. And it was super hard to get to the water cooler. I also couldn't believe the amount of people talking during the show. If you wanna talk, don't go to shows. I'm here to watch the band and shake my tail feather. "Bootblacks" had been on my concert eye for awhile. If you ever watch the movie "Blade Runner" this band sounds and looks like if the replicants started a band. It's got electronic keyboard dance moves and the vocals are spot on. And in top of that there is a trumpet coming in at perfect timing. I could dance the night away listening to these guys. https://bootblacks.bandcamp.com/"Weeknight" got super crowded and it was very hard to get a good spot. They sounded amazing and I liked that the stage was easy to see in the back venue. https://weeknightmusic.bandcamp.com/I can't forget to mention Kyle Avallone the opener. The solo act with his keyboard was reminiscent of a Nick Cave beatnik. Very cool vibe.https://soundcloud.com/healing-light/kyle-avallone-nobodys-baby-nowAlphaville is a intimate space for shows and worth checking out but make sure to bring the cash!!

My friend and I discovered the place walking by and had a quick drink with their large fries. We had such a great time, I then asked another friend to come with me again but was incredibly disappointed by the rude service/ignored, unnecessary up-charging and overall rudeness. Incredibly embarrassed to have even brought a good friend here and waste a perfectly good night.Robert J. was our server. Would not recommend this place.

How has this place not fixed their absolute death trap of an exit/entrance?? It's like a ramp with ledge sides and I have, soberly, completely rolled my ankle on it and been in pain for the rest of the night at least 3 times. Lawsuit waiting to happen.... I have also seen other people falling on it. doesn't reflect caring about patrons.

This bar is my favorite neighborhood bar in bushwick. Great for a drink and fantastic place for shows. I'm really happy a place like this exists in the area.
