Pips

Cute spot on Atlantic where every other spot had a long wait! Seated immediately at the bar corner which was fine for my group of three, we didn't have to shout to hear each other which was nice. The drinks were pretty good, happy hour prices all day Thurs. BUT we did have to wait like an hour for our food (entrees) which was not great. When it arrived the food was fine, I got the branzino, friends got the bison burger and the pasta. We also got the cheese plate, which was tasty but came with no crackers or bread despite including soft cheeses, jams and honey. Obviously we asked for some bread to help eat the cheese and then were charged another $12 (!!) for it, so that felt pretty iffy

Gotta love an oyster happy hour! Had a nice time here with friends. Chickpea app was very good. Wish the oysters came with cocktail sauce/horseradish in addition to the mignonette...it was a bit overpowering.

Five stars for that rare neighborhood bar that's got both great drinks and great bites in a casual comfortable setting. Unlike the restaurants around it that don't open til 5, PIPS opens earlier. So, get your get-together going early and take advantage of happy hour options.

So there are many happy hour options on Atlantic Avenue. Pips is squeezed in btw two other options. What drew us here was the oyster happy hour special. You would think the current vibrio outbreak would deter us but it didn't...The interior was beautiful but we wanted to take advantage of the nice not humid summer weather so we sat outside.I usually don't comment much on service but I'll have to agree with the other reviewers that the service was on the odder side. We ordered happy hour drinks and it seemed like our waitress was in a rush to leave so we had to grab her attention again to put in the oyster order. She then dashed away so quickly that we couldn't order the ricotta toast we wanted. It wasn't a big deal as we ordered it with another lady when she dropped off our oysters. But I've never experienced a place that almost seems like they don't want you to order any food.... But the ricotta toast was so amazing that it bumped the review up a star despite the service. Come for the drinks and toast but if you're a stickler for service, you may want to skip this place.

My nephew's first time trying oysters and I think we've converted him. We had a nice time here, party of 5, my relatives visiting from LA. We created our own version of a tasting menu. Everything was delightful. Here's what we got in the order of most liked: BranzinoPappardelleOystersChickpeas Chicken MilaneseCheesemonger's cheese plateSummer squashIf you arrive before 6:30 you can take advantage of their $2 oysters and beverage special. The service was not very memorable but attentive enough. We were served a cheese plate for a party of 5 and only given 4 slices of bread. Would have been thoughtful to have considered that. Our silver wear was offen taken and not replaced. One bottle of water for a bigger table on a hot day. Nevertheless, these things were addressed once we asked for more water and bread.

This place was super yummy! The happy hour oysters are over at 6:30 pm Fyi!I got the oysters to start and they were small but yummyThe food was very yummy and I highly recommend the chicken liver :). My duck had a cherry glaze which might be yummier on a steak. My friend shared her fish and it was better than my duck so I would opt for seafood here. Staff is nice and attentive. The atmosphere is very trendy and has outside seating

This place is a GEM. This place is what I've missed about Brooklyn. When you think of Brooklyn restaurants, this is the blueprint. This place is a testament that NY ISN'T DEAD OKAY!So a friend invited to this restaurant, which is her fave. She comes here all the time and never gets bored because they change their menu periodically. She literally said to me "Tash, at the beginning I got nervous bc what if I don't like it, but like I have yet to be disappointed!!!"So for starters, pls pls pls...get the liver mousse! It is out of this world. The deep meaty flavor coupled with the texture and sweetness of the fig and crusty bread. Melt in your mouth good, shaking your leg while you eat type of good. Then we had the proscuittio and cantaloupe. It was a very generous portion and I love how they prepared the fruit. Next we had the pappardelle. They way they prepared this pasta, was very unique and loved every bit of it. The crunch, the mushrooms and the cream was so DELICIOUS.Did I tell you they have the best orange wine that I've ever tasted!?! Yeah this has become my favorite overnight.

It was my first time at Pips. The service was great, my bartender Sam was so sweet and made the best drinks. I ordered the Pappardelle it was one of the best pasta dishes that I've had. The ambiance was really nice, a great date place.

$1 happy hour oysters, Tuesday-Fridays from 5 p, - 6:30 p.m. That's all I gotta say. The oysters are fresh, plump, good sized, vinegar-y, and slurp-approved! We ordered 2 dozen and slurped it right up. We also ordered the Burrata with the prosciutto. The prosciutto was salty and VERY good. We ate it all up with 2 rounds of bread. Def would recommend ordering other items from the menu as well. The drinks are a bit limited, but def worth a try! This place is def buzzing around happy hour. Come get your oysters!

Wildly overpriced for what it is. This is a casual neighborhood wine bar, not a Michelin starred restaurant. The attached photo is of the $29 spaghetti carbonara. It was 3 bites of mediocre pasta.
