Decent micros always on tap, with OK prices ($6 dollars for a pint is the average). The staff seems decent, but they aren’t very accommodating (they don’t pour half pints...) They do a sampler of any 6 beers @ a 7.5oz pour for $18, which seems cool (depending on their current selection). This place is all about ambiance though. The back room/lounge is very laid back with random couches, exposed brick, and a vast selection of books. (I believe the owner is friends with a library owner?) Cool spot overall with great ambiance.

I gladly make the trip to Pacific Standard whenever possible and trust me when I say I live nowhere near it. Not even the same borough -- though for all intents and purposes it’s really quite accessible given its proximity to Atlantic Ave and its wide selection of subways. If that won’t get you close enough, the F train also services Park Slope near here. To begin with, the atmosphere of the place is great. It manages to attract a low-key, welcoming bunch of people and, if you’re lucky, their four-legged friends. Having an open policy for dogs really speaks volumes about a place. Both the back area and front are great and distinctive and effectively turn the place into two bars, one traditional "bar" and a second informal back lounge area. Seating abounds. The beers are incredibly reasonably priced and well chosen. The servers always know exactly what they’re serving and will offer candid reviews. Great selection with lots of taps -- Southampton, Avery

This is an awesome beer bar although you may have to go a few times to find that out. The 12 or so taps that they have constantly rotate with different great beers, and the only way to get a BMC is in a bottle. Games are available and games on their projector are also always available. Also they do have food the cheese platter and chips and salsa are specialty.

Very cool spot that I finally popped into recently. Pretty standard wood covered bar area out front, with the requisite taps, two casks, and a decent 20 tap selection. As the name suggests, the PNW is well-represented. Nicely priced, especially at happy hour. The kicker is the large lounge/games room in the back. Seems like a fairly quiet place to kill a few hours. I could do without the TV back there, but the vibe reminds me of Archer’s in Bellingham.

Don’t listen to austinpowers, he was just miffed they didn’t have the beer drinking robot ready yet AND he hadn’t had a beer yet since this was the first spot we hit on our Dia de los Muertos Brooklyn tour. No but seriously, they really need to get that robot working, I mean come on now! Good beer + decent selection + OK prices + no sign or name outside the establishment - no food -unoriginal uninspired decor = good, not great bar.

LordErasmus and I included this joint on our Brooklyn pub crawl for Dia de los Muertos, and it was definitely NOT ready for prime-time! Advice to the nice owners: If you’re going to call it Pacific Standard and harp on about the West Coast theme, you should have 100% of your beer menu from the West Coast, not just 50%. Also, throw up some California or Oregon decor! The beer list was pretty small, as well, and unremarkable. Supposedly, they will be getting a beer-drinking robot in 2008, so that should be worth a repeat visit to see if they’ve got their act in gear. They had a Guy Fawkes night, so props to them for that, but again, Guy Fawkes Day is a UK thing and has nothing to do with the West Coast.

I visited this light-hearted and comfortable little bar with friends for its Guy Fawkes night that was coupled with a Sixpoint Ales event. Gathering on the front edge of the bar, we ploughed through new pints Sixpoint Belgian Rye, Atlantic Amber, and our venerable favorite, Brownstone. In the midst of this younger crowd around us, I noticed a movie going on in the back room on a slightly elevated level. I had to note the staff was particularly friendly and were attentive to our nods for yet another round before we managed to leave with a very favorable impression. As it was serving 95% craft ales on tap with a spare joker thrown in for campy laughs (Schaefer in cans), I had to like this place as it was a part of a rebirth of the formerly run-down section of Park Slope in Brooklyn.
