“ Sandy Jack’s is the best! My first experience with the bar was asking them to put on the WNBA all-star game because I couldn’t find any other bar that had it on and Mike was sure to have it turned on for me and my friends. Now I love swinging by for a drink, a wnba game, trivia, etc! Mike was kind enough to let my friends and I host our Halloween party there this year and it was perfect! We had such a blast, Natalia (the bartender) is amazing and so kind. So grateful for this establishment and will always be coming back! Plus, the regulars are all super friendly. Def give it a try! Happy hour buy one get one is a great time to stop by ”
“ BEST DRAG RACE WATCH PARTY! Favorite gay bar in Brooklyn! Friendly servers, amazing drag queens, good & decently priced drinks. We love the chill atmosphere. Totally unpretentious. Bartenders Josh & Natalia make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Bertha Vanayshun is the best drag race host I’ve seen in the city. Will always be my go-to spot! ”
“ Great spot for a drink or to enjoy games. Friday Night Drag Race Watch Parties and Live Drag shows. Reasonable priced drinks. What’s not to like? ”
“ Cozy bar to grab a few drinks with a really nice outdoor space. Rated food 5/5 but they do not serve food, instead you can bring food in from anywhere which is a great compromise. The bar has a lot of events including Billiard tournaments if you’re into that. Very LGBTQ friendly!!! ”
“ This is the party spot! My friends needed a spacious backyard to host an aggressive binge-drinking competition over the weekend, and the folks at Sandy Jack's welcomed the party with open arms! Friendly scene, cheap drinks, and big memories! If you leave right now, you can still make their 2-for-1 happy hour today. See you there. ”
“ The lady behind the bar was lovely and very welcoming. They have plenty of good alcohol brands, we had Stoli vodka & a mixer. There was a pool tournament going on also which a few of us watched from the side lines. It's clearly a very safe & welcoming space & plenty of stools to sit at the bar if this is your preference. ”
“ Sandy Jacks is our favorite bar in the city, perhaps the world! We happened upon it by chance and were delighted by the friendly staff and clientele, affordable drinks (even outside the amazing happy hour), and constant nightly events. They have karaoke, trivia, open mic nights, so many drag shows, pool leagues, holiday parties, big game watch parties, and community fundraisers. The owner Mike and his staff are passionate about making a fun, safe space for everyone to relax and have a great time while also championing worthy causes to support local organizations. They also can host events without breaking the bank and let you bring any outside food. We’ve brought so many different friend groups here and they all want to come back! ”
“ I had the BEST experience at Sandy Jack's! They literally have the cheapest drinks and best happy hour deal I've been to. I really don't think there's a cheaper option in all of NYC! On top of that, the bartenders were super sweet and the regulars at the bar taught me how to play pool :) plus it's dog-friendly! Such a fun and welcoming environment overall. Everything you could want in a bar, I can't wait to make this my regular spot! ”
