50 Best Beer Bars near Belle Harbor

“I was here for a holiday vendor market and had never been here before. The space is beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful and the patrons were wonderful. You don't just happen to pass the place from 'mainland' Long Island, but a worthy space for an amazing night!“

“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!“

“So excited to see this place open!“

“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!“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Between the aimrt and the staff, this place is awesome. I have heard that the beer is also awesome here too(but I can't drink it). However they have more than beer and they have na too! They play all the major sports if that's your thing. You can reserve tables for parties. Beers are great, staff are great! Seriously give them all the tips. And they often have pop up food, whis had always been spot on! Tonight was good by Q! Yummm... I hope you get a Q food night! Also, all bathrooms are non gendered and clean. Drink here be happy..“

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Zack and the Threes team on two occasions. For the VES NY afternoon summer bash they were our beverage sponsor and delivered beer to an off-site venue and then hosted our after-party at the Threes outdoor beer garden.

When it came time to plan our VES NY winter membership mixer, we immediately contacted Threes. Zack, Ioana, and David on the events team are incredibly professional, personable, and organized, making the planning process easy and seamless.

On site, the event ran smoothly and our guests enjoyed incredible hospitality, great food and an exceptional drink selection.

We highly recommend Threes Brewing for any event needs!!“

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

“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!“

“We visited Pearl Street for the third time in a year and it somehow keeps getting better. We have always thought it was a great restaurant, but this visit truly stood out. The food was fun, creative, and incredibly tasty, and the service was warm and welcoming.

We did the chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was a complete no brainer. Every course was excellent and thoughtfully paired. Easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in years. Do not overthink it. Just go. A solid 10 out of 10. We will be back very soon. Thank you!!!“

“The food here is incredible - some of the best Japanese food in Brooklyn. However, the service can be quite slow depending on the night and the menus are a bit complicated to understand at first. There is a lot going on in the menu and the formatting is not consistent which leads to a lot of back & forth when navigating the menu.

The first time I visited last year there were absolutely no issues and I had a fantastic experience. However when I visited again a few weeks ago, I had to wait over 20-30 minutes just to place my food order and another 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive (but this is understandable given it is a small kitchen dealing with many orders).

The restaurant was busy but there were still several empty tables, but there was only 1 server. The server helped me to my seat quickly, but then started cleaning and doing other random tasks and chatting with others for a long time before even coming to me to ask me what I would like to order. Maybe it was just busier night than usual or this server was a new hire, but it was quite frustrating having to sit and wait for so long before even getting to place my order. The server seemed to be more concerned with cleaning tables for potential customers (who did not even show up) instead of the paying customer waiting right in front of him for so long. I even saw another customer literally have to get up from her table and walk up to the server to ask him to come to their table and place their order.

Anyways, the food was still really incredible and I had no issues once it came out, but the server seems to have completely different priorities instead of the paying customers who are actually at the restaurant. Maybe if he had some more assistance or if I came on another slow night he would not be so unfocused. But to his credit, he was apologetic about the wait at the end once I paid my bill.

I would definitely recommend the food here (the Veg Croquette Curry, Fried Garlic Chicken, and Chilled Ramen were fantastic), but this is not a place for a casual dinner as you will likely spend over an hour here.“

“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.“

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

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

“I was here recently with a friend during Liberty playoffs and when we arrived all the TVs had baseball on. My friend, thinking there was no way they’d change one for us, asked the bartender if there was anywhere around showing the Liberty game. He immediately hopped to, got the game turned on for us, was extremely accommodating and kind when we thought we might get the side eye. Such sweet guys and they have old speckled hen on tap & walker’s crisps to boot. What’s not to love? Brought my friend from London the following week and we had a great time. Good vibes all around.“

“I stopped into Gold Star today for an early lunch and was absolutely blown away by how amazing the grilled cheese with tomato soup was! Best grilled cheese I have ever had. I paired it with the dark lager they had on tap and man oh man - was it the perfect combo. 5 Stars for Gold Star!“

“I’m so happy my sister introduced me to this place. Anytime I’m hungry between work this is my go to. The food is yums and filling, pita tastes like it’s made fresh, and the customer service is above and beyond. Gives me smiles every time I head over there“

“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.“

“This is my go to after work spot during the week to catch up with friends. Happy Hour is usually until 7pm and drink cocktails cost approx. $10. The bartenders are more like mixologists as the quality of drinks is far better than your average bar. Truffle fries are great, recommend.“

“​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 ;)“

“Last minute decision and so happy my kids wanted burgers that night! We were parked minutes from the Williamsburg bridge after coming back from NYC. Went in and it wasn’t busy and we were seated and several right away! Drinks came out minutes later. The pub has a decent menu and seating area but I can see it filing up quickly on regular days. I’d super highly recommend if you’re in the mood for American cuisine; burger and fries and drinks! Super fresh burgers and crispy fries. Grilled chicken was to die for! Let’s no forget the Mac and cheese: definitely get that too. The potato soup caught me off guard and so did the salad bc it was so yummy.“

“Great for a magazine launch. Cult magazine“

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

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“The tacos and birria selection here are some of the best in the neighborhood. Great selection of Mezcal’s, mixed drinks and they even make my favorite Carajillo. Great services and cool vibes. My go to for a quick but nice Mexican dinner.“

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

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“Hosted my birthday gathering here 2 straight years and it’s been a wonderful experience each time. Service is awesome and it’s truly a gem to host a free gathering. Be sure to create your Spotify playlist and send your food order in advance of your gathering/celebration. Additionally, the space is beautiful!“

“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“

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

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

“Found this gem by chance. All the dishes were amazing. The fried chicken that they're known for were very crispy and tasty. Just like what I used to have back in Korea growing up! My favorite though were the dumplings. The drinks were great too.

The server was amazingly attentive. The vibe was chill and welcoming.

Will have to come back to try other dishes.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“Stopped in here for a quick bite with 2 small children just as it opened. Place was clean and kids loved the aquarium behind the bar and the koi pond and stream in the back patio. Good selection of draft beers. You order food at a window, selection is basic bar food of burgers, chicken, taco's, BLT sprinkled with po-boy's and keilbasa. On Tuesday nights, if you order fries with your meal, you get a free draught beer. Our food was hot and came out quickly. Our bar tender was very informative and attentive. We would definitely come back!“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“Good spot. Pleasant service. Very weak pours. That foam ain't fooling no one. Just cheap way of reducing size of the pour. But nice if you dont mind it. Hot in summers with all the windows. Dan is the man. Rest are blah and interchangeable.“

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

“Honestly I was hoping for more from this place from what I’ve seen on social media, at least when it comes to the food. This is purely a review on the all you can eat taco Tuesday and honestly it was a little underwhelming. The only taco I actually enjoyed was the carnitas and pork doesn’t really sit well with me 😀. But overall the atmosphere and the staff were great. We got our food fast and they played great music. I just wished the tacos were better I guess.“

“Fantastic food, service and prices“

“Great location of a popular brewery. It was a treat to visit this location when I was visiting. I was treated to the same chill vibe you can always expect from other half, with tons of cute doggies. They had their standard menu of beers along with canned cocktails and special cocktails for the non beer drinkers. It wasn’t huge inside but the overflow of guests could find more seating outside. Great view of the river and some interesting people watching at domino park rounded out the afternoon.“

“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.“

“Never been disappointed with the food from New Thriving Restaurant here on 120-12 Liberty Ave. Queens!!! Can't get enough of the Jerk Chicken LoMein or Garlic chicken chow mein!!! Not to mention they serve you man size portion plates and with friendly/pretty smiles... I'm giving them 5 Stars on the food and service alone!!“

“Was in Brooklyn/NYC on a sort of vacation and didn't want to sit around bored in my hotel room, so I Googled up this place. Small bar, small venue. Very relaxed and comfortable (and it is a bar, so it's loud). Wish the backroom wasn't as roasting as it was, but outside of that, it was just what the doctor ordered.“

“Anaïs is the perfect spot for any occasion; whether it’s coffee with an old friend, a wine night with the girls, or hosting someone special from out of town. I used to live closer and miss the atmosphere and staff dearly. The wine list is incredibly thoughtful and delicious, curated through time spent learning directly from French winemakers. If you’re in the area, Anaïs is an absolute must-go!“

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