For starters the first drinks were very traditional Japanese cocktails. They were Hakutake Shiro & Aka Kirishima - they ask you if you would like it neat or on the rocks etc. The second drinks were highballs which is Suntory Toki whisky.. club soda.. and your choice of flavor. We got the watermelon & pineapple which were very refreshing & comes with a piece of fruit as well, but the alcohol is very light. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. Very secluded place to have a drink.
Let me share why I absolutely love this hidden gem of a Japanese bar nestled in the heart of Industry City, Brooklyn. Known as "Oldies," this bar/restaurant is a haven for those seeking a unique and memorable experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was warmly greeted by the lovely Ashley. Her friendly demeanor and expertise instantly made me feel at ease. She wasted no time recommending two drinks featuring Japanese whisky, and I must say, they were exceptional. My personal favorite was the classic Old Fashioned, crafted to perfection with a delightful Japanese twist. Not only does Oldies excel in their drinks, but their food is also top-notch. I had the pleasure of trying their Chicken Teriyaki, which was a revelation. The dish was bursting with freshness and flavors that delighted my taste buds. It was evident that great care was taken in the preparation, resulting in a truly delicious culinary experience. Overall, Oldies is a fantastic place to spend the night. Its cozy and hidden atmosphere adds an air of intrigue, making every visit feel like a special occasion. The combination of Ashley's warm hospitality, the superb selection of Japanese whisky-based drinks, and the mouthwatering food options make this establishment a true gem. Whether you're a whisky connoisseur or simply seeking an extraordinary evening, Oldies in Brooklyn's Industry City is an absolute must-visit.
