I’ve lived in Brooklyn for ages, walked by a million times, and somehow never noticed it. The drinks? Incredible. Strong enough to give you a confidence boost but smooth enough to keep things classy. Perfect for date night or your first Bumble date — long cocktail list, unique flavors, and not as crowded as you’d expect.

Get the warm Hummus with brown butter and toasted pine nuts! It's so good. Can't explain much than that. Also get into an african gin that reasonably priced. Bayab orange and marula . Really good good gin for all gin based cocktails. Been looking for this brand for awhile. Glad they have it here! Also the bartenders here are amazing, know their spirits, and care about their craft. Really friendly too.

The vibes are immaculate. Yacht rock playing paired great with my wine. The decor and lighting creates a relaxing intimate mood. Great place to grab a glass or two of wine and some apps with a friend or a date.

FRANK IS MY GUY!!!! I always look forward to seeing him as my server whenever I am there! He is highly personable, highly knowledgeable, and makes an already awesome experience at Bar Francis even more delightful!!! LOVE ME SOME FRANK!!!! The VIBE is very cozy, intimate, and relaxing!! I take many of my first dates here, and it almost always hits! The atmosphere, the drinks, the service! I even have "My Table!" When I call to make a reservation, they already know what time it is! To the Men who live/work in the Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope area, THIS...IS...THE...DATE...SPOT!!!!! DO IT FELLAS!! PLAN IT!! Just Don't Take "MY" TABLE when I'm there!! LMAO!!!! 😉💪🏽😏😎

Hidden gem. Don’t let the coffee shop entrance fool you. Great chill vibe. And even better cocktails. Will and Laurel at the bar are awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely get a cocktail with Will’s signature pickled (yes pickled!) olives.

Tucked away behind a coffee shop, Bar Francis offers an amazing experience. Our waiter Frank was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. The drinks are unique, strong, and packed with flavor. The oysters and the hummus were divine. I will be back!

I’m not sure what my favorite part was because our entire time here was so well spent. I loved how gorgeous & luxurious the interior was, the well crafted beverage program & the music. Not once did it feel pretentious or snobby. If you don’t know what punt-a-mes is the bartender, Will, would happily walk you through any of the spirits and cocktails they offer or even make you an outstanding rendition of whatever it is you’re looking for. Perfectly priced for what you’re getting. There is something here for everyone. Thank you.

I love coming here. The staff is always so personable. I always feel welcomed in this space. The bartenders are always extremely attentive and they make a great espresso martini. I tried the hummus the last time I went and really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back.

Spent Valentine’s at Bar Francis and I’m so glad my partner planned this! Frank was our server and he honestly raised the bar for every server I will ever interact with in the future - He had phenomenal recommendations (tailored down to how to pair the oysters with the right combination of sauces). He knows the menu so very well + so very genuinely personable and perceptive :) In terms of drinks - do not miss the the ‘I know it when I see it’, ‘Stop Bidding on my Waffle Iron’, ‘Call it Cosy Please’. The dozen our oysters are amazing with the house sauces :) 10/10 spot!
