Sycamore Bar & Flower Shop is one of those Brooklyn places that feels natural the moment you walk in. Located along Cortelyou Road in Ditmas Park, it blends charm, creativity, and neighborhood comfort in a way that feels distinctly South Brooklyn. Known for its welcoming energy, strong drinks, and the unexpected presence of a working flower shop inside the bar, Sycamore has become a favorite for locals and a memorable discovery for visitors exploring beyond Prospect Park. Walking inside feels like stepping into a friend’s well-loved living room. The lighting is low and cozy, wood accents line the space, flowers spill from shelves and corners, and the bar anchors the room with an inviting presence. The combination of bar and florist gives Sycamore a personality unlike anywhere else in the borough. Guests sip cocktails while browsing bouquets, or pick up flowers after a round of beers with friends. It feels unusual in the best way and entirely effortless. The drinks are a major reason people keep coming back. Sycamore is known for well-balanced cocktails, a strong selection of local craft beers, and an impressive whiskey lineup. Seasonal specials rotate throughout the year, including floral-inspired drinks that subtly nod to the flower shop without feeling gimmicky. Everything is made with care and confidence, but never feels precious or overworked. The atmosphere stays relaxed and approachable no matter what you order. One of Sycamore’s most loved features is its backyard. This classic Brooklyn garden space fills quickly on warm nights, with picnic tables, string lights, and an easygoing crowd. It is a favorite setting for casual dates, birthdays, group meetups, or simply unwinding after a long day. Food pop-ups often appear in the yard, bringing in local vendors and adding variety to the experience. During colder months, the space remains active with live music and indoor performances that keep the bar lively year-round. The in-house flower shop, operated by Stems Brooklyn, adds a layer of charm that sets Sycamore apart. Guests can choose from bright, expressive bouquets or simple, modern arrangements. Many visitors love the spontaneity of picking up flowers with a drink, especially couples ending a night out with something tangible to take home. It feels personal, thoughtful, and very Brooklyn. Sycamore is also deeply tied to its community. Live bluegrass, folk sessions, vinyl nights, stand-up comedy, and small performances regularly take place, drawing in artists, musicians, and longtime neighbors. These events reveal the creative pulse of Ditmas Park, a neighborhood known for its Victorian homes, slower pace, and strong local culture. You are not just visiting a bar. You are stepping into a living part of the neighborhood. For guests staying with Prospect Park Stays on 16th Street in Windsor Terrace, Sycamore is an easy and worthwhile outing.
