Reviews for Ode to Babel in Brooklyn, NY
Their frozen drinks are bomb! I go for the Henny Colada (All you need is one -$13) but the Mezcal Margarita is OK too! It's... PERFECT right before it gets packed. The Golden Hours are 7 - 8PM. After that it's usually too packed to be ideal but the peopleare beautiful and the DJ is usually pretty good so there's actual dancing. 2 Outdoor spaces in front and back, and only 1bathroom that usually has a line.

One of my new favorite spots in BK. My friends and I came here for Juneteenth and had a great time. The henny cooladas were good... and I don't even like Hennessy (????). They have a small outdoor patio in the back and an outdoor structure in the front wherethey cook food. Lots of tables and chairs outside to enjoy the weather. The only downsides were that there's only one bathroomso the line was always long and there were flies out on the patio. Read more
My second time at Ode to Babel and its been a great vibe each time. Great bartender and happy to make mocktails! The DJs are... always ???????????? and last time they had a taco vendor that was delicious! Inshallah I will return. Read more
The people that work here have a great vibe and the drinks are SO good. However, my table never recieved the hummus we ordered... which was disappointing. I didn't pay the tab so I'm not sure how that was resolved. The music is great but it's extremely loudinside so I was happy to sit outdoors. I think this place would benefit from a QR code system or just a different approach togetting food to the customers. It would keep a smoother operation for the staff so they don't have to go around to a bunch oftables trying to find out who ordered what. I would come back again for sure though because those drinks really were good. Read more
I've grown up in Brooklyn and lived in Crown Heights for over 20 years. Over the past few years, Ode to Babel has become my go... to spot. It's a true community and a consistently lovely experience - great drinks, food, vibes and people. I recently hosted mymoms birthday at OTB and I could not have asked for a better time. Staff were incredibly kind and supportive, food and drinkswere fantastic and everyone at the party had a great time. I would give OTB 10 stars if I could <3 Read more
Held my very first fundraising event at Ode to Babel and the staff was incredibly accommodating and so very kind to everyone.... Really thankful for this space and their commitment to the community. Read more
In love with the watermelon salad and the Ola cocktail. It would be awesome if they had another person behind the bar when it's... crowded. Would happily return nonetheless. Read more
