“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“The service here is really the standout. Every single bartender is friendly, and there are always more than enough staff to help. It really shines through! They do samples, and small pours which is great.
As a beer snob, I really wish they had some better options though. With 12+ taps i find that only 4-5 are really something special with the rest being average at best. If they can up the options just a little it would be a 5 star bar.“

“We were a group of 23 to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and John, Alex, the staff could not have been more attentive and accommodating. The beer was awesome, the appetizers delicious, the venue just gorgeous, the music and the vibe so good!! We will be back again!“

“Always LOVE coming to KCBC when we’re in NY. Wouldn’t be a trip unless we went there. Staff is always awesome, the tap list is always phenomenal and the vibe is always right. Didn’t get any beer pictures this time around, just doggos.“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Couldn’t recommend a better place to host a private event in Brooklyn.

The events team were great to work with and we had such a great experience working with David and Sara and the entire team.

The food options were perfect and we had the best experience for our baby shower and the entire process was seamless“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“Food was so authentic. It took me back to some of my favorite spots on St. Marks back when Japanese Restaurants were kind of hole in the wallish and actually owned and prepared by Japanese. Tonkatsu was super crispy and moist. Udon was clean with a true Japanese flavor not flavor packet garbage some restaurants are passing off these days. The curry udon was amazing. Chirashi was delicate, flavorful and fresh. Great staff. Loved it all. Will be back and soon.“

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“I live in Forest Hills and I’ve been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn’t taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don’t like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn’t think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn’t spending money and that my type shouldn’t be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return.“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“Wow such lovey place, when I be there I wanna be just chill with imagine drink 🍹 & food! Just love it 🥰“

“​Nestled in this beautiful neighborhood, this bar is a true gem. The atmosphere is immediately captivating, with a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe setting the stage for a cozy and eclectic experience. Every corner seems to tell a story, leading you from the intimate indoor seating to a fantastic 'patio' that's perfect for a relaxed evening or hot late afternoon. The variety of beers on tap is great, offering local craft brews to international favorites. What truly elevates this place, however, is the barman. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, he makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can lose track of time ;)“

“Gold Star Beer Counter nails what most places miss. The music is local and right — unexpectedly amazing — like someone actually thought about it instead of hitting play on some corporate streaming service. You can feel it’s picked by the same personalities you see at the bar, not a marketing team in another time zone. The vibe is warm, unforced, and human. No branding exercise, no playlist ‘strategy,’ just a room that knows exactly who it is and lets you enjoy it“

“I love this place for the affordable drinks and excellent entertainment provided by various talented Drag Queens and Drag Kings. Happy Hour is pretty cool. There’s stuff going on most nights. They have a Pool Table too and I believe starting a tournament soon.“

“One of the best burgers in Brooklyn.
Thick, juicy burgers cooked exactly how you want it. The sides are delicious and plentiful.

I typically get the regular DuMont Burger, the smaller size, with onion rings and maybe soup if they have tomato that day. The DuMac and cheese burger is a good way to get a bit of the good stuff without buying a full order of the Mac.
Smash burgers are on trend right now, and I don’t understand that. I love a thick burger, and I order medium rare because I am confident in the quality of their food.“

“Incredible selection of craft beer. Great vibe, close to many great places to eat, the Barclay Center, Gowanus. Heated outdoor beer garden.“

“The big bad wolf isn’t going to blow this away. The Little Pigs opened up a brick and mortar that’s here to stay. I stumbled across this place exploring Brooklyn, and I’m glad I stopped by. This place is an aesthetic oasis that gives a cute, colorful vibes. Everyone was personable/ friendly, It’s definitely worth the stop! Nick, Chad and Emilio are a great team. 🐷“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“Great for a magazine launch. Cult magazine“

“Amazing!! Great place ! Sports! Oysters! Craft Beer“

“I called six different places after work, trying to find a place that was still open to have dinner- before going home after a very long 16 hour day. This place was still open, and the tacos were so amazing. The service was great and the food was extremely reasonably priced! I didn’t even care what kind of day I had, because it ended with great food and a great drink.“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“Had a blast all 3 times I was there.I will be back!“

“My evening stroll revealed this charming restaurant nearby. i wish there was a higher rating option for this restaurant. Staff performed at an acceptable level. I've never had a bad experience with any dish. This place gets my strong approval.“

“We came here for the $30 three-course Restaurant Week dinner. It was incredible, and an incredible bargain. The food was outstanding and the service was perfect. The only thing we didn't like was the noise level -- it's a large, high-ceilinged space and it was loud. Other than that it was perfect. Oh, the neighborhood (Gowanus) is a bit strange -- if you drive it's all good, but if you'll need to walk to the subway after dinner, it might get a bit dicey.“

“Absolutely loved this place! Just had the most delicious bibimbap and Korean fried chicken, along with some very good cocktails. The price is extremely reasonable for such high quality food. On top of that the ambiance is nice- I ended up staying here long after the food was gone because it was so pleasant. The owner was very warm and kind and generous. Will be back soon!“

“Great vibes and a good selection of craft beers. Plenty of local options as well as some fun imports. They've got pinball in the back if you're into that as well. Only complaint was that the music was maybe a hair too loud for my taste“

“Cozy neighborhood bar in Bed-Stuy with great drinks and an easy vibe. Good mix of cocktails, beer, and snacks, plus a great stereo and killer playlists that always set the mood. Staff are welcoming and the crowd’s friendly without being over the top.“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

“Great venue to let your hair down and enjoy live music. Drinks are very reasonable.“

“A nice neighborhood bar with a huge courtyard, the restrooms were clean, the alcohol selection isn't particularly wide, but if you're looking to drink a beer close to home, this is a great place, the staff are nice people at not expensive prices at all.“

“Best customer service I’ve ever received from bar staff. Very friendly, Attentive, and professional. Music was great !“

“A quaint cozy place. Good food and drinks and great service. My friend has been there before and recommended it. I’ll definitely recommend it myself and return.“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“

“Came after a show, got a table quickly but there was also space at the bar. Bartender was so friendly and inviting. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time AND. WAS. DELICIOUS. The popcorn chicken were soft, juicy chunks of chicken. The spicy smash burger was juicy. Everything was so good I would def come back just for the food.“

“Tres bonnes pizza de très bons plats Delicious gnocchis. Je le recommande“

“The second time here... Very nice atmosphere, "real chill"... Very good music. People are kind.... And the girl who works here is so kind and polite. She is awsome. ❤️“

“Fantastic food, service and prices“

“Writing this from an events perspective, our wedding welcome party was INCREDIBLE. It’s the perfect location and we got so many complements from our guests. We were able to bring in Roberta’s and Malai for catering and everything was seamless. Such an incredible location too. I will be an Other Half beer loyalist for life!“

“Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“vibes: immaculate

the tater tots were crispy and fresh, but the chicken tenders were... the chicken itself was flavorful and juicy (maybe a little too heavy with the pepper) but the breading was SO weird. It was like smooth and flaky, instead of crispy. at least we knew that they were made in-house because never in my life have i seen chicken tenders like that anywhere else. i would go back and try a different menu item though, just not chicken based.“

“Atmosphere is great, the staff I’ve spoken to are friendly, it’s a great spot that’s close to me, convenient and accommodating. Walking into Sour Mouse I felt like I was treated like a regular and that was just my first visit! Receiving exactly the same level of hospitality the following visit next week, I think I can confidently say that I found my place.“

“I love this store. Very organized, clean lots of products and has an inside Coffee Shop with the best Coffe in Brooklyn/Queens.“

“I was here for a birthday party and had to give a shoutout.
Amazing place to bowl with friends, get nice drinks for a good price in the city, food was pretty goooood too. Also thanks to management and Caleb specifically for great hospitality. Staff was so friendly and chill.
Book this place for your next party 🙌🏼“

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