Reviews for El Pingüino in Brooklyn, NY
Great place to chill out. If you order the combo which includes a dozen oysters, pozole, and those I can?t tell the names, the... oysters price would be equal to the happy hour price. Sherry is so good, not to sweet, and martini, gorgeous. Great vibe andsuitable for 4 people to share. Read more
the food and ambiance is great but the staff are a little flustered and seem to work inconsistently. they give away 5 person... tables to couples that like to stagger and we were told there were no tables available inside- there was an empty table foralmost the entire two hours we sat there. and we also had to summon our own chairs outside. if we had the table space weprobably would\'ve ordered about double because we could have space to place plates,but i don\'t think they wanted to host us.would def consider coming back, the anchovy\'s were bomb, but would be reluctant to handle these issues again Read more
We?ve known this place since it first opened but never got a chance to go. Finally here! Really nice oyster for happy hour. I... love the spritz drink as well. Read more
I\'ve been to the Asturias in Spain and San Sebastian. This place is perfect. Don\'t skip the canned Spanish cider, it\'s... incredible. And you must without fail order at least one conservas (canned seafood). It\'s rare to see that outside of Spain.Make a reservation even on a Monday. It\'s a small space. Read more
Fabulous vibes and great selection of tinned seafood. The oysters were very fresh and plump, but some had not been cut all the... way through on the shell side, making them a bit hard to eat. A bit pricey, but very fun with great service! They also have ahappy hour everyday until 7pm, so I?ll definitely be back for that! Read more
?my heart was racing just making spaghetti?\n?how much do i have to pay you upfront to be my personal lawyer? the answer is:... nothing!?\n\nthis place has the bathroom facility scene on FLEEK (separate music radio playing in there, er go the ad quotes ishared, and a dyson airblade, to die for). and the bartenders? dont get me started, theyre all great, but this guy Euan is oneof those bartenders who could just .. be your best friend, you know ? he makes you feel like youre at home. home is where theheart is. pro tip: try the basque cheese cake! it was a delight. one of the best bars in greenpoint, and thats sayin somethin!

Amazing Spanish seafood! Sourced & presented really well, by people who care about the food and the place they work. Sample a... few things from each area of the menu, you can?t go wrong. Bravo Pingüino! Read more
Cute bar with $16 cocktails. We got the oyster happy hour special and a cheesecake. The cheesecake was very dry.
