Latest reviews from Brooklyn
| 78 /100 Queue Beer (Bar) 500 SMITH ST. “Visited in September 2023. Smallish beer bar linked with Carmine Street Beer Distributors very near to the Other Half tasting room. Decorated with dark walls, large number of cans in fridges, no food, 23 beers on tap. There were interesting finds. The place had a long curved bar and around 10 tables with chairs. A good beer destination for sure!“ |
| 78 /100 BierWax (Bar) 556 VANDERBILT AVE “Visited in December 2023. Small beer bar with a stone top bar and a few tables with chairs in Brooklyn. They had 12 beers on tap and around 100 cans. A small food menu available. They were also offering Cantillion pours from two bottles. There is a great vinyl collection, and nice music obviously. There is also a patio at the back. It's worth a visit.“ |
| 68 /100 Pine Box Rock Shop (Bar) 12 GRATTAN ST “Visited in March 2024. Strange place with pine siding everywhere with a strong smell of pine. It's much bigger inside than seen from the outside, with multiple chambers. They had 16 beers on tap including one brewed for them by Six Point, though not terribly exciting choices. They also offer a few snacks. Not sure what the place is for though.“ |
| 58 /100 8 WILSON AVE “Small coffee house/brewery taproom in Bushwick, Brooklyn. They have moved to NYC from Chicago. Minimalist all-white decoration, 8 beers on tap including two guest beers, Czech Lukr yaps enabling sizable head, a few snacks, 2-3 tables, and a small bar. Flights available. The cons are the beer sizes are smaller than usual, which means more pricey beers; longer wait than usual since there is one person for both beer and coffee and preparation of an average coffee order takes much longer than a beer; and the beers are mediocre.“ |
| 84 /100 34 RIVER ST “Came here on 4.3.2024. Located directly at East River in Brooklyn. Small brewhouse which I believe is not in use too much. Does not have the atmosphere as the original brewery, however the beers are fantastic and you can buy most of their magnificent beers in cans. No food options on a Monday. Amazing Service was helping with good restaurant recommendations and gave me some beers for free - not normal these days anymore“ |
| 68 /100 68 34TH ST “Located on the second floor of Industry City Building 2 in Brooklyn. Very large, high-ceiling industrial space. Huge TV screen with live sports, not much else for decoration. They brew most of the beer served on-site. They had 12 beers on tap, 3 pours sizes, and flights available. For food, they have pizza from a nearby pizza house on order. The beer was not bad, but not great either.“ |

| 78 /100 Hops Hill - Atlantic Ave (Bar) 533 ATLANTIC AVE “Similar bar to the original, same number of taps and extra bottles and cans. A bit of a younger scene. slightly smaller bar and more tables. Worthwhile stop.“ |
| 62 /100 82 PROSPECT ST “Very large building, but still packed when I visited. Large games room with bowls, pinball etc... but only a couple beers available on that side. The real draw is the self service beer wall; makes for a cheap ticking experience but not sure you'd continue to do well on subsequent visits.“ |
| 74 /100 Tørst (Bar) 615 MANHATTAN AVE “Good selection of beers, but they didn't have 4/5oz pours as far as I remember. More expensive than other places in NYC“ |

Small selection of beers, but flights are available.“ |

| 72 /100 Fulton Ale House (Bar) 1446 FULTON STREET “Visited in May 2023. Largish space with a long mahogany bar, couches at the end, barrels as table stands. They had 18 beers on tap. Frozen pizza and hot dog for food. The beer selection was not bad.“ |
| 72 /100 Cardiff Giant (Bar) 415 MYRTLE AVENUE “Visited in November 2022. Spacey dark bar that looks trendy, no food, 12 on tap with around 20 cans/bottles. Eighties music blaring. Nice neighborhood bar.“ |

Overall: i guess it's place.. when visiting the cluster you may as well step in, otherwise this should be skip.“ |
| 70 /100 Owl Farm (Bar) 297 9TH ST “Beer bar with wooden interior near other half, finback etc. other places. About 17 beer taps, and 6 cider ones. Small pours available. Beer taps are mix of German and US craft stuff. Prices, a bit cheaper than in more fancy places. Ok service. Overall: it's a solid place but nothing too exciting.“ |

| 76 /100 68 34TH ST “Brewery/tap room located in the food court/industrial park. Although far from Manhattan easy to reach by subway. 12 taps all of their own. Ok service. Prices are a bit cheaper than average NYC. Flights available. Ok service. Ok place to have some beers. Note: they brew some beers on the spot with small kit.“ |

| 80 /100 82 PROSPECT ST “Brewery/ big tap room located near Brooklyn bridge at the Brooklyn end. 26 taps, 24 of their own. Cans and bottles also available. The self service taps are winner for a ticker, 26 tick and less than 26$! Their beers varied between awful and ok, but c'mon tick for less than a buck in NYC! Service is ok. If you just want to tick then this is the place to go, if you want great beer then you should probably go elsewhere.. I'm a ticker hence the 4.0 rating..“ |
| 66 /100 Spuyten Duyvil (Bar) 359 METROPOLITAN AVE. “Dive bar in Brooklyn. About 10 taps, mostly boring stuff. Prices are usual 10$ for beer, but they do half pours! No cask available. Service below average. Okish place, no idea how this is 90+ (current score in rb)... Maybe it was once great.“ |

| 68 /100 43 MAIN ST “Out of the way if you weren't comfortable with Dumbo logistics. Tall glass front, basic whitewashed cinder block walls & a cheap Birchwood or similar half & half bar in the center. Scrolling led tap list against the wall, vintage-y brass taps without much fuss. Coffee bar as you enter is whatever. Twenty offerings, flight/8-9-12oz, didn't see any pints. Nothing more than $10 was a relief. Staff is a little cold & bored, but the beer is solid.“ |
| 74 /100 Hops Hill - Atlantic Ave (Bar) 533 ATLANTIC AVE “Smallish bar. Fairly small to go selection, but a good taplist. Not as impressive as St Gambrinus or the original Hops Hill, but still a decent place.“ |
| 72 /100 Hops Hill (Bar) 886 FULTON STREET “Smallish bar with a pretty solid tap list. Some good locals, and some fairly hype stuff from further away on my visit. Bartender seemed pretty overwhelmed on a week night, so service was pretty slow. Fridges were well stocked.“ |
| 72 /100 68 34TH ST “Upstairs at Industry City, making it easy to combine with Big Alice and plenty of good food / drink stops. Beer quality is fairly good, not outstanding. Decent selection of styles. Flights available.“ |
| 76 /100 Queue Beer (Bar) 500 SMITH ST. “New modern space round the corner from Other Half (where the queue used to be on a Saturday morning all those years ago). Taplist is pretty excellent, and small pours available. Staff are helpful. Often quite a quiet vibe.“ |
| 78 /100 381 TROUTMAN ST, BROOKLYN “Stop #5 of 8 on a day brewery hopping trip to NYC. Streets were packed with some festival / thing going on which made me worry it would be packed in side ... lucky we got a table. I've had a bunch of their stuff before so was nice to finally make it out here. BW, fruity beers NEIPAs on tap with some good BA bottles grabbed to go. Glad I made it.“ |
| 82 /100 Bar Great Harry (Bar) 280 SMITH STREET “I have been here many times over a period of over ten years. I don't think the tap lists knock your socks off like they did back then. The bottle list is much smaller as well. That said, this is consistently a place to get high quality and occasionally rare beers that are not found elsewhere in the city. The atmosphere is very nice for those who like dark wooden bars. Pinball tables are in the back. COVID brought about ample outdoor seating that makes this place viable for people with kids. I have had some good times and good beers here.“ |
| 86 /100 82 PROSPECT ST “The location is not the greatest, but this is as spacious and unique a brew pub as I can think of. It is a big, gray, spread out, industrial space, and in the summer there is rooftop access. There is an (optional) dispensing system that allows you to fill up your glass by the ounce from a number of their taps (payment by credit card of course). Most importantly, the beer is good, and there is plenty of it to choose from, around 10 taps of their brews are up at any one moment. Pub grub, along with vegan and healthy options, are available as well, and the staff is nice and likeable. I look forward to my next visit.“ |
| 76 /100 Hops Hill - Atlantic Ave (Bar) 533 ATLANTIC AVE “The new name of the former St.Gambrinus Beer, which did not survive the Covid lockdown. The former owner is now a backup server. A lot of good stuff, as in the past with just a few snacks for food. Recommended.“ |
