Branded Saloon, Brooklyn NY

Had a blast here. The staff are tons of fun & the food is to die for. Great cocktails as well.

These kind of bars need be visited and treasured! Run by wonderful neighborhood people, it’s an old school gathering spot for happy hour, drinks, bar food and all sorts of delight and debauchery. Branded attracts all the best people, and is a perfect spot for a quick drink or a long slow date. Cool outdoor seating too!

I’ve been to the Branded Saloon years ago and walked by today and decided to get a drink with my partner. We each ordered a vodka soda double. The bill for these two drinks came to $41. They charged 14 dollars for two singles, added an additional 18 for “drink and mixer”. On top of that, they automatically added on a 20% gratuity ($7 for two drinks). I asked if this total was correct and they said yes. If you decide to support this establishment, drink at the risk of your wallet.

Came here alone on a Friday night to drink and mingle, met some friendly people from the neighborhood but didn’t feel super welcome by the staff. I was asked to move seats twice, the first time banished from a bar table because I wasn’t eating (just drinking) and the second time from a booth to make room for non-existent parties of 4, even when there were plenty of other tables. Maybe fine if you’re in a group, but would hesitate to come back alone:/ bummed me out

I hosted a holiday party and Branded and it was wonderful! The staff was flexible, friendly, and accomodating of our changing needs. The food was delicious, the basement was set up really nicely, and overall it was a great time. Support a queer business!

Great karaoke night but I barely go because the drinks are so ridiculously expensive. Beers are like 12 dollars.don't think i've ever seen a beer cost that much at any bar anywhere in the world, even at a super fancy wine bar in manhattan a beer would only be like $9 at the most. Not sure what makes branded, just a nice little bar, think it is at all appropriate to charge this much. Totally wrong for them to exploit the queer community in the area like this and every time i go there you can see the look on people' s faces like "dang we ain't ever coming back here". If not for karaoke I don't know why you would. It's just beer, you can sell more if it's cheaper and keep your customers happy. Super lame.

This place has to be one of the most happiest, but in the world! Whenever I come here, the bags, the bartender, the food, and the surprise entertainment of the evening. Never fail! Definitely coming back on Wednesdays!

Felt right at home from the moment I entered. The Chicken Noodle Soup is a MUST try! It’s like the hug you need after a long day. Sickening talents were performing with amazing chill vibes that let’s you feel like you belong and always come back ️

Good experience, friendly bartenders — but 20% gratuity was added to our bill without telling us, bringing four beers to $50.

Andrew, you're too good for this world.

The Branded Saloon is the hero we need, not the hero we deserve. Great food, delicious drinks, but even more the staff is kind. I told Andrew I was here visiting for my birthday and they made sure to make sure I felt special.

I hope all of you succeed. Thanks, friends. Much love from Omaha.

Happy to see new faces serving food and drinks here (S/O to Megan) but when I see Patrick on patrol all's truly right with the world.

(Shy Ronny, disco fries and the Cobb salad are my love language)

If you haven't already, definitely come here and check out this amazing spot. Andrew my bartender / server was simply the best. Incredibly helpful and kind and gave some great suggestions on what to order. Crafted and delicious cocktails and very diverse bar food. Definitely try the brussel sprouts and any of the fries, especially the branded fries tossed in garlic and parsley. Ask for Andrew by name you won't regret it.

Great ambiance, super fun staff, delicious cocktails.ask for Patrick for a wild cocktail menu description! And bring cash if your going for a drag show 10/10 would recommend enjoying the fabulous performances.

This place is fine and even likable, but THEY ADD A GRATUITY FOR ALL THEIR CHECKS AND DO NOT WARN YOU, so - you could tip them $35 dollars on a $90 check for 5 drinks and 1 fries. Eat drink and pay at your own risk

I am worried about posting too nice of a review because Branded is one of the best, most inclusive bars, you can experience in Brooklyn. The staff is amazing, the seating is ample, and the drinks are incredible and overflowing. I love this place so much, please dont tell your friends because its a literal gem.

Bartenders are giving stress vibes and some random lady in the back tries to tarot card people on Fridays but isn’t upfront about the costs

Patrick made the worst of days SO MUCH BETTER! Even last week they sold multiple rounds and food to a group that was full and ‘not really drinking’
Overall their service makes the experience (food and drink also amazing).

What wonderful friendly place. Alex Alex Alex! She is kind, caring, attentive and very pro. But that seems to be that vibe with all the staff. Laid back place. Good food and drinks. With good people to serve you, it makes it a great establishment for the community in my opinion. Don’t miss out. Check them out.

What a great spot! Our waiter Patrick listed allllll the best things and TBH better than the menu
11/10 would recommend for a drink with a crew of friends
