Support black women-owned businesses! The owner, Erin, has done a fantastic job with making this place cozy for the neighborhood. It's clean from top to bottom. The drink options are great and you can enjoy delicious beef patties and surprise chef pop ups. Tonight, I'm enjoying some Pinot Grigio and listening to live Jazz. If you're in the Bushwick area- this is a must stop!

Simply the best place to play chess and a little piano whilst relaxing

This bar is an absolute gem. The ambience is warm and inviting. It feels like a cozy living room with eggplant purple walls and wooden decor, but it’s not pretentious. The bar itself is the perfect size and there are a few lovely nooks you can squeeze yourself into for a game of chess or a hushed conversation. Then there’s the music. Dude, the MUSIC. The music is always fantastic. I'm a bit confused by the aggressive one-star reviews about noise. I like this bar because the music is consistently the perfect volume. I have some auditory issues and I typically find it very challenging to communicate in bars, but at the Filthy Diamond I have always been able to easily have conversations. Whether it's 7pm or 1am. (Also, side note: if you live in New York City, don't complain about noise. Move somewhere else.) The drinks are fairly priced and really delicious. The clientele is pretty diverse. Everyone I've seen is generally in their late 20s to late 30s, but within that age range, there are folks from all different backgrounds and walks of life. You'll always meet someone interesting if you're looking to talk to a stranger. And finally, the woman who owns the bar - she is honestly one of the best bar owners I've ever come across. She's professional, kind, and so chill. She has a super calming energy that really sets the scene for this place. You feel it as soon as you walk in. I highly recommend Filthy Diamond for all of your Brooklyn bar needs. You can go there to gab with the girls, have a quiet drink and read a book, or sit and chat with a new friend. When you go here you are supporting GOOD folk.

You guys always have been disrespectful to the residents and community you moved into. There are countless city complaints regarding your behavior and lack of respect when addressing neighbors who complain about the excess noise you produce and your patrons vandalizing neighboring properties. I don’t know what civil measures it’s going to take to resolve this problem. You will NOT continue to ignore us. And please don’t leave a snide response, I have proof of conversations with the manager and owner, where she told us that we would have to learn to “just deal with it”.

If I could give 0 stars for food and music I would. I don’t understand why this place is so overhyped. Between the mediocre food and weak drinks, I was already disappointed. The music was so loud I couldn’t even have a convo and catch up with my friend. Imagine how embarrassed I was after suggesting this place. It’s also very small inside so if you value your personal space while eating, this is definitely NOT the place. What a let down.

It's all apartments around this bar, above and on either side and you clowns are doing happy hour until 2am!? Would it be a huge inconvenience to *not* make it 55 decibels in our apartment at 12 am on a Tuesday morning?

This place rules my roommates and I come here regularly and truly love all the bartenders and all the fun/unique events they hold, like time travel Mondays where they play a ton of music from one specific year (also there’s double happy hour on Monday which is great). The environment is great, which a cozy chill environment that’s extremely welcoming and wonderful to be a part of. Can’t say enough good things about this little neighborhood bar ❤️

Loved the vibe, the friendly bartender/owner - didn't realize they have guest chefs two nights a week, so we'll def be back to check out the food. The night's music playlist was from 1975 (?) and featured Rufus & Chaka Khan. - and ya just can't beat that.

I really like this bar! The bartender was amazing. I nicknamed him “Blondie”. Thank you for all of your hard work. You definitely will be seeing us again.
