Miles

Poor customer service and unfriendly staff. Will not be back.

Windswept, driven by cold and ennui, we were blown across the soft amber glow of Miles’ threshhold. As we settled down in our leathery bar stools, we noticed an astounding array for exquisitely painted dog portraits. What a treat! It’s invigorating, bracing, even overwhelmingly unthinkable that such dishes of olives, meat & cheese plates, and sturdy, thick, sumptuous & sexy glassware filled with fy’ry inebriating potions could coexist in the sphere of one imbibery. Like, it’s pretty good.

Good drinks. Good vibes. Good sandies /​melts. Wheelhouse is a good alternative if you’re looking for a more restaurant feel.

Amazing Cocktails & Great Music on an off night. Bartender was super chill & had one of the best playlists I’ve heard in the area (heavy vibes). We had 4 different cocktails and enjoyed all of them (the violet one was my fav)

Knowledgable bartenders who make great cocktails! Also — a wonderfully tailored selection of wines for every palate, and delicious small plates. A winner in my book!

Miles has easily one of the best Bushwick happy hours and it’s on MONDAY. When everyone is dreading the work week starting you can reward yourself for making surviving Monday with «Miles Mac n Cheese Mac Monday! «I have been to Miles a number of times and for some reason it’s never too crowded. A lot of places in Bushwick are ahead of their time. Bushwick maybe names the next Williamsburg but it is still going to take time before it’s over crowded and annoying. And even though we alllllll dread that day, we also need to support those brave businesses that have taken the leap of faith of opening their doors before their time. Miles is one of those places. I love the space. Even though the space is small, they create little pockets for groups and tables for intimate setting but I always prefer to sit at the bar, in a way it’s a bar’s VIP area since, the bartender is consistently checking in on you.
Last Monday I finally made it for the mac and I was super excited about the beer list. I kept hearing about smoky beers and there was one on the list. All the beers are $ 5 for happy hour. Most of the beers are normally 6 – 7 so you are saving a buck or two. But every beer comes with mac. The smoky beer was a perfect pairing for the mac. The mac was super creamy and had a lovely sprinkling of breadcrumbs and heated to perfection. I enjoyed every nibble. But I couldn’t resist getting another crafty beer. And then like clockwork, I was offered another order of mac. Not too shabby to enjoy two ramekins of mac and two crafty beers for $ 10 and tip!
I also want to point out that the front section of Miles indoors has portraits of pups on human bodies. I like the fun little, decorative edge to the wine bar. I have the sense that even though it can be fancy, they know how to have a little fun. I will have to return for a cheese plate and some vino on Wednesdays when it’s 20% off a bottle.

Nice little low key bar in Bushwick. I’m a fan of the cocktails, nice and strong. We also ordered the chicken liver pâté, and while portions were generous (only $ 6), the pâté was lacking in flavor. That was the only negative, would come here way more often if I lived nearby. Will be back though!

I stopped in to Miles with a girlfriend on a weeknight and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the cocktails were great. I appreciated the small, but fun menu. Sometimes you want a fancy grilled cheese and also some Pâté. We had both and everything was delicious. Our bartender was nice and they placed good music from what I can remember. It’s a great neighborhood spot and worth checking out for sure.

We just happened to try this place on a monday evening so we got their monday «free mac and cheese» deal, which was awesome. I had the salty miles and though i dont love gin, in fact this was an a mistaken move of not reading the ingredients first, this was a solid drink.

Phoebe is an artist. Perhaps the best cocktails in the country. I like the Salty Miles, but there are no bad choices on the cocktail menu. Excellent Hot Toddies for the winter months.

Excellent cocktails, really amazing, the only negative experience I had here was realistically the bartender. She treated my date and I poorly and I won’t forget that even if they have some seriously awesome cocktails. Granted, she may have been having a pretty off night but that’s definitely stuck with me. All in all I would say I’ve enjoyed it, I liked this place and would go back I just hope I won’t have to encounter the wrath of the bartender.

I’m jealous the residents of Bushwick get to call Miles their neighborhood bar, but I plan on being a frequent visitor. On a chilly Wednesday night, Miles was warm and welcoming. I grabbed a few drinks at the bar with a date, and the bartender was just as warm and friendly. A few people came and went, but I’d say the bar was half empty for most the night (so weeknights are best if you want to avoid crowds). I started off with the Old Fashioned and then switched to red wine. The sandwiches smelled great but weren’t in the cards for me that night. Perfect for low-​key dates and nights when you want to drink without too much hassel.

Went to this spot last night and had a great time. There is a great cocktail menu and the drinks are made perfectly. Went a little too late to catch any of the food but the menu looked promising. The hospitality was good for the most part but a friend I was with didn’t seem to like the bartender even though she was fine to us. The vibe and décor is nice inside and it’s a great spot to just relax and have a drink.

One of my favorite bars in the hood. It’s smaller and cozier than a lot of the newer «cool» bars that have sprung up. If you’re more into having a conversation than being part of a scene, this might be your place.

Moved to Bushwick a few months ago and have been checking out a lot of newer places in the neighborhood. This is one of my favorites.
Chill staff, good drink selection, affordable prices, Macaroni Mondays, awesome dog photos — what’s not to love?

So sad I did not know this place was around the corner from me! It’s a great homey bar to stop in for a pint and some cheese or olives. Totally laid back feeling with finer food stuffs, for the discerning customer in their relaxed mode,

Did not like this place at all. The only good thing about this place was the décor. It’s definitely a cute spot and the playlist was on point. I think the concepts they have for the menu was cool as well, but nothing was outstanding. After all, it is a bar.
The bartender was extremely, extremely rude. The drinks sucked, to be quite honest. Way, way, way too strong and I know it’s dumb to complain about that, but they weren’t drinkable at all and we wound up paying for the drinks and not even finishing a quarter of it. It’s really a shame because the place could have so much potential given its décor, concepts, and music, but the service really just ruined it all and we did not feel welcome whatsoever. Maybe others have had a different experience, but I definitely will not be coming back. There are many bars like this that have the same concept and friendlier service.

«We’re just a bar, we don’t have to be friendly.»
That’s how this place could be categorized. We’re just two jokesters trying to eat and drink our way to malnutrition every weekend, and we thought a cheese plate PLUS grilled cheeses and cocktails would fit the bill perfectly. Unfortunately we felt like we were putting out the establishment (no smiles, no eye contact, no affirmations of good choices). The sandwiches seemed small for what you pay. Food and drink service was reasonably fast is what I will give it.

Fantastic drinks. Can’t wait to go back there and just chill by the bar. Love that place.

Cute
Cocktail
Bar for dates
Or staying warm
Through a long winter. I love bay windows.
