    We had out son's first birthday in The Cactus Shop. It was PHENOMENAL, we hosted around 25 people and the team were so accommodating with the venue and space. They gave us a reasonable limit to reserve the space and allowed for us to bring our own cake for the special day. I would highly recommend this place for any gatherings you have, the food and cocktails are great!

    Fantastic spot in Brooklyn! Stopped in for a drink and was impressed by their mezcal menu. The decor and ambiance is terrific. Didn't try the food, but based on service and vibes, I imagine it would be excellent. The Spotify playlist link on their website is also solid.
