I was in the area and since I'm not in Williamsburg often I decided to make the most of it and pick a place to have a cocktail before I headed home. I came on a Monday around 6:30 during their happy hour and there were two people there. It's a small bar, but has a cute vibe to it. I couldn't tell if one of the patrons worked there and was off and the other was a patron; but needless to say I sat at the bar took off my coat and sat for what felt like 10 minutes and the bartender barely acknowledged me. If it weren't for the fact that the bar was empty, I would have just left. Can't imagine what service looks like if it is busy. She gave me a half smile and finally came around. When I asked her what she recommended between the Rick Ross and the other happy hour special, I did appreciate that she gave me a perspective on both. I had opened a bar tab, in case I loved my first drink and felt comfortable sitting there. I got the Rick Ross, it went down easy, but it's a short glass with a lot of ice. I decided to close out my tab since I felt the vibe of the bar was off. I might try it again if I was in the area and with someone and hopefully a different bartender.

Cute, kitschy bar with eclectic decor from Japanese face masks on the wall to random Bollywood art hanging in the back, and the coolest bathroom. Stopped by early Friday night like typical happy hour time, just a handful of tables inside but there was plenty of space, plus some tables outside. Approachable and friendly bar staff. Happy hour drinks are a steal I think $8-12, and really other good seasonal drinks too that were $15-16. Amazing playlist, early 2000s hip hop, some of my favorite Ashanti songs (maybe a niche reference). Stopped by as a quick pit stop before a movie, definitely wished we stayed longer.

i was just at this place for the first time tonight. for one the bartender went out of their way to ignore me (us) had the most entitled attitude as though i owed them something and purposefully kept me and my guest waiting. there was no more than 5-6 ppl inside the place at 6:30 so it made it even more excruciating and embrassing - NOT for me - but for the barback and bartender to be acting like divas - i went out of my way to be very nice and give a good tip - but sorry this aint it. it should not take a whole 20 minutes for a tequila soda with only 5 ppl sitting in the place - like both barback and bartender stood theit ignoring me - and us - as tho we were literally a bother - sorry but this aint it and the cocktails fall short too. avoid this place if you want to avoid entitled attitude.

Very cool local vibes.- seating for 20 or so inside- seating for 10 outside with heat lamps and chairs- good music inside; gets a bit loud- great hot cider- their highball has a ton of ginger in it - not a traditional Toki highball - would not order againOverall, staff are super nice. Drinks were strong. Very chill spot to hang out.

Such a fun unique place with drinks served by knowledgeable staff! Pokito has some serious chill vibes. With neon lights creating a glowing ambiance in this dimly lit bar. This place can get packed, which isn't too much of a hinderance on a night out of drinking and chatting with your friends. The bartenders are very nice, talkative and can recommend some great drinks based on what you've already ordered. A popable snack that is also unique to Pokito is sichuan lime and tajin peanuts. It really hits the spot when drinking, unless spicy isn't for you. The interior is small with a number of tables lining the walls, a stadium bench area that I'm not sure is actually seating, and an outdoor area that expands seating and if you need some fresh air. Highly recommended!

Seasonal cocktail was decent but not amazing and pretty weak. Vibe was nice and decor was fun. Pretty cramped tho.

This is my favorite bar in Brooklyn! So often, I go into a bar and people seem closed off, only socializing with the people they came with, sitting in the same place all night. Pokito feels like a fluid environment. The staff is exceptional -- it's clear that they are all fond of each other and treat one another with the respect and love they give to the customers as well. I have met a whole bunch of interesting people here, everyone is generally open and sweet.Ambiance and decor is fun and exciting. Every time I go there, I notice something new. The bathroom is especially cool -- you have to see for yourself!

No exaggeration when I say that I've had my eye on this cocktail bar for about a year! I really have no excuse for not having gone sooner, but I knew it was quite small and I was always wary of it being crowded. I also only recently have been able to appreciate cocktails so that also likely contributes. I went on Halloween night which was a fun vibe. Since it's small it was decently full, but was able to get drinks pretty quickly. I ordered the midori sour and it was delicious. There are a few tables indoors, as well as seating out in the front. I don't know if it's normally as loud as it was inside, but if it is, I can see this being a good place to start a night out!

the lolita drink is SOOO good!! the other ones aren't my thing but that's just due to flavors they're all crafted very well.. so cute inside and the service was very good. good for maybe groups of three no more the space is pretty small

This place is super small. In the seating area there are hard benches and small little wooden chairs. Not comfy at all. A lot of their customers were sitting outdoors. Walked in, the bartender was not pleasant nor was she attentive. Took her all of 6 minutes to show me some type of acknowledgment. I get it she was a little busy but a smile would've been nice. No food at this place. Ordered a drink that was just mediocre for $15 and walked out. The vibes were not giving what I was needing. Took some video of the place but no pics.

Cool little bar. Happy hour had some funky pre mixed cocktails which were delicious! Would return.
It’s a vibe.
