“the beer the place the people“

“I just had my 40th Birthday in the yard at the Gowanus location. The location is very conveniently located a short 9 minute walk to many trains. From the start of contacting Threes Brewing to the day of my event it was A+++++++ customer service. During the event the servers were also AMAZING and our personal server, Fletcher is absolutely incredible. My friends and family had nothing but great things to say about every little thing. Food was also delicious. I will definitely be going back and hosting future events with them.“

“I visited Other Half Brewing while I was in Brooklyn and absolutely loved it! The vibe is super chill with a nice mix of locals and visitors. The IPAs are some of the best I’ve ever had, really fresh and full of flavor. The taproom has a cool industrial feel and it’s dog-friendly too, which I loved. Perfect spot to hang out with friends or just relax with a great beer. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Brooklyn! 🍺“

“This place is incredi-bull. The beer choices are extensive and tasty. Whether you're coming in to enjoy the taste room or grabbing to go, the customer service is excellent. If you're not into beer, there are some really yummy non beer hard beverages to choose from. Definitely coming back here.“

“This place is the absolute best.

As a craft beer drinker, Grimm has always been one of my favorite places in the city to grab a beer but what truly took the place to the next level is this past month when my now wife and I decided to hold our wedding at Grimm.

We had such an amazing time and a huge part of that is because of how welcoming and accommodating the staff was to us. They helped us from the early brainstorms of the wedding to the layout of the final event, to even proactively reaching out to us with alternatives for wedding photo locations when it looked like it was about to rain on our wedding day. This doesn't even mention all the times when they were so gracious and patient with answer our many questions about food options, wedding day schedules, and everything in between.

Amazing food. Amazing people. And (obviously) amazing beers!“

“Came here on a beautiful spring day and had a great date night. My partner loves beer, and he really liked the brews here. I don't drink beer, but they have great cocktails too! It is huge! Lots of seating, so good for big groups. Everyone was really friendly.“

“Amazing craft sake in a nice space with outdoor and indoor seating.“

“Bke is even more than the best Kombucha ever. It’s a lifestyle and a beautiful community ❤️ I highly recommend!!“

“I would always walk past this place but never stepped in, I finally stopped by and was surprised to see how there was an inside area since I always saw people sitting outdoors and drinking. As someone just getting into IPAs, this spot is has some good selections.“

“friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere“

“Always a hospitable and attentive staff. A wonderful and stylish space. And of course - delicious beers brewed on the impressive site. Always something going on there and a great addition to the Staten Island scene.“

“Absolute necessary stop if in the neighborhood of worth a drive/ride if outside 👍“

“My wife and I had recently just gotten married. We had asked NJ Beer Co to host our welcome party for the night before the wedding. We had brought snacks and NJ Beer Co had set up tables for us to use as we gathered. It was an amazing time and the drinks were great! Would recommend NJ Beer Co for any small gatherings, as well as large groups!“

“Very good belgian style beers. Can't go wrong with anything on the draft list“

“This brewery has hands down the best craft brewery brewed beer I have ever had. The "Lite Rail" is drinkable, tasty, has flavor and not trying to be something it's not. It's a beer and it's delicious“

“First time trying a place like this, and it was fantastic! The environment is clean, the atmosphere is friendly, and the beer is excellent. I love that you can bring your own food to enjoy while you're here. It is also the perfect spot to watch a soccer game. As a guy who already reached 70, this place made me feel young again for two hours—highly recommend.“

“Excellent beer - friendly staff! Great atmosphere!!“

“We regularly host open mic shows at the Montclair Brewery and wholeheartedly recommend them for the great craft brews, super friendly bartenders and owners, and the overall chill, diverse, and welcoming vibe.“

This was an jaw dropping introduction to Korean traditional sool and I am super excited to tell my friends, co workers, and my family. The flavors of each brew is so beautiful, and the amazing food that came with it made my tongue super happy!! willl be going back again and again, and going to order bottles for my friends!!! thank you Alice for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of korean soooool!!“

“Great addition to the North shore. Place is upscale with nice atmosphere. . Nice Beer selection. IPA was very good. I had the Branzino and it was delicious, but It would of been nice if there was some bread on the table. Overall good experience and I will be returning.“

“My wife and I hosted a 100 person outdoor wedding here and couldn't have had a better experience. Their event coordinator Angie was extremely transparent from the start and made planning the party a breeze throughout every step. We did the open bar package with Three's Brewing paired with the food package from Spectro (two shipping containers next to one another with a wooden deck/patio in the front), all of which were delicious and very affordable. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient, and I would highly recommend this location for anyone who is looking to throw a unique, fun, beautiful NYC wedding on Governor's Island!“

“Surprisingly great food!

The dumplings were fantastic - very flavorful. The wood ear mushrooms were good but a bit too spicy for me. Hubby loved them.

I’d definitely go back for the ginger scallion chicken! Highly recommend.“

“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“

“Love it !! Ambiance amazing!!wepaaa“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Beef Nachos are awesome 👍🏻👍🏻“

“We had our welcome party for our wedding weekend and the entire team was a breeze to work with! Clear communication from inquiry - event, flexible with changing variables (anyone whose hosted a large event will understand how huge this is) and incredibly friendly and polite during the event.
Their beer and food are great, but that's a given! Highly recommend hosting your next event here.“

“We had the absolute best experience hosting my husband's birthday at Other Half Brewing Company, and a huge part of that was thanks to their incredible manager, Matthew and wonderful staff. From start to finish, they made what could have been a complex setup feel seamless, flexible, and genuinely enjoyable.
If you're planning a big gathering where things don’t run on a rigid schedule, this is *the* place. They were so accommodating with guests filtering in and out over a few hours due to different commitments, which made it feel relaxed and had plenty of space for our guests to hang around given the event went for 3 additional hours.

One of the biggest perks it’s both dog-friendly and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to join without hesitation. And unlike so many venues, they’re refreshingly reasonable with their rules and support other local businesses you can bring in pizza from Stretch and your own cake (we brought ours from Francie) without any of those ridiculous cake-cutting fees. That alone made a huge difference.

The drink selection was fantastic across the board. Beyond their excellent beers and beer flights, they also had great cocktails and a solid range of non-alcoholic options, so every guest felt taken care of. We especially loved their Annuelle partner wine series they even provided ice buckets for each bottle, which elevated the setup and made everything look so polished and thoughtful. The setting near Domino Park is stunning, and even with unpredictable weather, it created such a beautiful and memorable backdrop for our celebration.

Guest favorites were definitely the Crickets, Green City, and the rosé people are still talking about them.

Overall, this was one of those rare venues that combines great vibes, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. Matthew and the team truly went above and beyond to make our celebration special.“

“Love this place. People and beer choices are great“

“Cute, corner bar. Just stopped in for a drink quick and ended up staying for a few and a shared jerk chicken quesadilla with a friend. Margaritas were awesome and the happy hour was so good. Would totally stop back by when I'm in the neighborhood.“

“The soup was amazing i recomendable“
