Ripple Bar

Oh Ripple please come back! I haven’t been here in ages and I miss it! Does anyone know is it open again? The last I heard they had some sort of violations so it shut down. SO SAD!
The DJs here are the best, they spin good hip hop & R&B tunes that take you back into time! Love the vibe $ 5 beers, and the bar tenders were really nice too they would always give you a couple free rounds. Yes, its very neighborhoddy… but in a good way. It’s not like people make you feel out of place. You can always spot out the regulars vs. the visitors.
The best thing about this place was a) a few blocks from me b) it was open past 4am for the late nighters c) and you could get your dance on!!! seriously!
Please open again Ripple summer is here, and I need a good place to boogie that’s close to home!

Discovery: this bar is across the street from our apartment.
Discovery: they sell $ 5 sangria that tastes like fruit cocktail, but packs a punch.
Discovery: the music is good. Almost great, even.
I’d like to go back later on in the evening… I bet this place can provide some good times.

i could go on and on about the obvious about ripple… the cheap drinks, great music, great crowd…
ripple is just dope and instead of reading reviews about it, you just need to go and experience it for yourself. i doubt you will be disappointed! happy exploring!

When people ask me what Ripple is like, I suggest they imagine their best friend’s van breaking down on a dark abandoned stretch of highway and as they start looking for a road map in the back to find out exactly where they are they discover an un-​opened bottle of the second cheapest whiskey you can buy. Plus what everyone else said, even the cockroach chick. I’m in love with this place.

Ripple is a neighborhood joint with neighborhood people. For the newcomer it may seem alien, because nobody knows you yet. Come a bit more frequently and you may discover the key to this neighborhood. A place where people come to do their own thing. That’s what BK is about an Ripple is based on BK style.

I came here once. It’s about the size of an apartment, and there isn’t enough room here to really flashdance. The music was great, but perhaps I was too sober; the crowd became increasingly more annoying as the night went on. I guess Ben D. is right about the moderately priced drinks.

ripple works in theory: the drinks are moderately priced, the music is usually good and the crowd is eclectic. but there’s something unfinished about the place — it’s almost as if it eternally remains under construction. i haven’t actually seen sawdust on the floor, but i generally feel as though i’m quaffing red stripe in a neo-​soul carpentry shop. if you go late night, keep an eye out for the arguing caribbean regulars. they’re fantastically entertaining, especially when the bartender/​owner is forced into duty as sober friend/​peacemaker/​bouncer.
if the crowd seems a little sparse for your liking, it’s always packed on the first saturday of every month due to its close proximity to the museum.

Oh one of my favorite places in the world — cockroaches or no. I’ve forged many bonds here — including the love of my life. Made quite a few friends. I don’t go as much as I used to since work is pretty far in BK, but I still love it all the same. It is truly a place where everyone knows your name if you go there enough.

danky and dive-​y… i love places like this! our LA homie was spinning that night (DJ KJ BUTTA — check it) so we ventured into brooklyn for the first time when we visited.
Tunes are righteous, drinks are a little weak… hahah but i think it’s because we ate so much fondue/​bread from our dinner that it was absorbing the alcohol. We started doing grey goose shots… 2 for $ 8… i know… wtf?!
You come here to dance or meet friends… and that’s what we do. :)

five Starts for sure. In fact I’m at Ripple right now, the place has free WiFi! Bar tender is great so are drinks and atmosphere. Very relaxed, good lighting. Books to borrow, games to play. Good music. The place is all good. My friend described it as a multicultural cheers and I agree. It’s just what the neighborhood needed.

Ripple Bar, where have you been all my life?! This is (to my knowledge) the closest bar to my apartment. It is FANTASTIC. Really cute, really cozy, great drink specials, yummy and unique drink specials! I cane here and enjoyed some festive Egg Nog (A+!) and some Kettle One Punch. Dee-​lish! Both drinks were not skimpy and really packed a punch!
The interior is really comfy and relaxed. I noticed some board games available for customers to play — that always scores points with me! The bartender was friendly. I’m definitely gonna be a happy repeat customer!
