50 Best Beer Bars in Brooklyn

“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!“

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

“This past weekend I hosted a luncheon to celebrate four milestone senior birthdays. We were about 20 in the rear of the outdoor area. The staff was fabulous as when I arrived we altered how things were laid out. They just went along enthusiastically and we achieved our goal The special menu prepared by the chef was delicious, flavorful and plentiful. I cannot say enough about how magnificent the event was and how from the beginning to end all they want to do is please. The attendees have not stopped expressing how “perfect “ everything was. Thank you Threes Brewing for everything and making our birthdays very memorable!!!“

“Incredible food - one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The chefs are phenomenal and very personable. I recently ate at Le Bernadin and the food at Pearl rivaled Le Bernadin’s. Highly recommended! I really can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“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..“

“So excited to see this place open!“

“We had an informal baby shower drop-in at Pinkerton recently and it was the best experience. The manager and owner were so helpful before hand - helping me figure out the menu, ordering a few non-alc wines, make sense of the space - and then were accommodating, gracious, and so responsive during the event. And the food, atmosphere, music, was perfect.“

“Honestly so overhyped. Everything was either solid or good, but nothing was outstanding or particularly worthy of note, especially given the near 1 hour wait on a random Wednesday. The mozzerella sticks are indeed the best mozzarella sticks I’ve had, but at the end of the day, they’re just mozzerella sticks. The vinegar chicken is good, baked clams are fine.“

“Can’t believe I walked by this spot so many times and didn’t go in until now. Cute and cozy, really extensive menu. Food was amazing and came out fast. The pork curry & rice is so good! Will definitely be back for more.“

“BEST restaurant I've EVER been to in my life. Literally had me in a choke hold. I came from Florida to visit NY around May and stumbled in with my friend. Ever since then I could never forget them 😭 the staff are so sweet too. I'm coming back Namdo, just you wait. Please open up another shop in South Florida 🙏 I'll pay top dollar for that recipe too“

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

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

“This place is a must-visit for a drink or a cocktail. Whether you’re in the mood to socialize or unwind, it’s the perfect spot. The bartenders are exceptional and always attentive. They make sure you’re comfortable and check on your cup regularly, which I appreciate. The prices are always reasonable, and I’ve never been overcharged for anything. I highly recommend this place and give it a 💯% rating 10/10.“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Amazing beers in a clean impeccably designed room with a great view of the smith/9th street bridge.

Truly one of the best beer bars I’ve been to in New York. Great selection, fresh pours. Stopped in on a whim and almost instantly became a permanent patron. Must-stop if you’re in the area, worth traveling to if you love draft beer and a solid chaser. Great prices too!“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“Came here on Tuesday at opening 12pm. Came to watch the world cup. They have plenty of tvs. Shannon was perfect server. Knowledgeable about the menu and had a great personality. Food was great. Good prices as well. Would come here again for surely.“

“​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 is the perfect neighborhood beer bar. It features an excellent rotating selection of brews served by friendly and knowledgeable barkeeps. The inside bar is chill with eclectic music wafting from the turntable. The sidewalk seating is my favorite place in Brooklyn to enjoy a cold beer on a nice day. And their little kitchen serves up tasty sandwiches, cheeses, and meats. It does get crowded on the weekend, so sneak out on a Tuesday afternoon and get yourself a beer.“

“(Nov 2014) Uber cool high tech mod fitout and no shortage of opinionated beer nerds (complete with obligatory cult brewery t-shirts). Even at 2pm on a Sunday arvo. Doesn’t quite have the warm of a traditional US bar but still pretty friendly. Very international list with a focus on left of centre. Pricing on the high side but reflects the quality of the beers. Served via cabernet glasses - a nice touch. I really grew to like the place and they use a small space well. Can I say it reminds me of Two Row in Melbourne? And....btw....the only other bar I have ever seen where punters are punching out tasting notes!“

“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.“

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

“My favorite spot in Greenpoint. So many amazing pinball machines and other arcade games and they have a great beer selection. I also love that they are open until 2am. I have to stop myself from eating too much fried chicken when I am there because Peeps kitchen is just so good. The owner is super nice and the vibes are always fun and chill. Love this spot!“

“I had my birthday at The Little Pig and we all had a great time!

Nic was professional and helpful with prior communication of the booking process, the minimum spend requirements, and the details of the menu.

They were able to accommodate a large group (25+ people) in the backyard. Chad was extremely proficient in handling the flow of food and Emilio was a great server.

The space is cute, the food is great, and the vibes are immaculate. I would happily host and event there again.“

“The vibe here is great! It’s a coffee shop and bar with a really nice back patio for garden seating. I tried their pecan praline specialty latte and thought it was pretty good. My drink was made quickly and it was nice spending some time outside. Also the cups are super cute!“

“Great ambient! Great food! Great drinks and great music!“

“Coming from California to visit friends, this was one of my favorite bars in Williamsburg/Brooklyn. While modest in size, the outdoor patio/backyard is where the crowd was at. A little cramped inside, but again, worth a visit if you’re in the area. Guinness was a perfect pour as well!“

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

“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 beer selection, friendly staff“

“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“

“I had an outstanding experience at Burger Joint Industry City! I called because I was having trouble placing my order online, and a light-skinned, stocky-built male associate took my order over the phone. He was professional, respectful, patient, and provided exceptional customer service from start to finish.

When I arrived, my order was ready exactly as requested. The food exceeded my expectations—the burger was cooked perfectly, the fries were hot, fresh, and crispy, and the lemonade was refreshing. Everything tasted fresh and was clearly prepared with care.

Great customer service paired with amazing food is a winning combination. I highly recommend Burger Joint Industry City and will definitely be returning. Keep up the excellent work!“

“Comfortable place with excellent food and really nice backyard. A large selection of beers/ ciders and spirits. Open areas plus booths and corners great for datenight.
The food was fresh and cooked to order. Plus can easily be linked to your bar tab, so you don't have to have a separatebill or find a atm. Will definitely be going back soon.“

“I came here on a weekday. The ambience is low lit, nice AC, super chill and they were playing Willy Wonka on the tv. Good service. This is definitely the best bar with actual good food in the area. I had the impossible burger with everything on it, fries, and a small order of buffalo wings. The food brought me back to life. Shouts to the cook Damian!“

“Gabe is the best bartender in Brooklyn. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and always put a smile on our faces when we walk in and see him behind the bar. Gabe, backyard, and Halloween are the reasons we’ve made this our local for the last three years“

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

“I wish I took photos of the food but totally forgot. I can say everything was 10/10. The wings were perfectly crispy, french fries weren’t oily, the service was fast. Plus the environment was nice too.

Highly recommend and I will definitely go back!“

“Fantastic food, service and prices“

“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.“

“Freddy’s is such a cool and unique neighborhood spot. It has that authentic Brooklyn bar atmosphere that feels increasingly hard to find. What really makes it stand out for me is the live music — you can come in for a drink and unexpectedly end up discovering a great local band or performer.

The space has tons of character, the crowd is relaxed, and it feels much more personal than a typical bar. Definitely a great place to grab a drink, listen to live music, and just enjoy the atmosphere. One of those venues that actually adds something to the neighborhood.“

“I love Anais! It’s the perfect place to sit and work from morning to afternoon, and I love that people are chatting and reading and working around the place. Then at night the wine selection is great and I like the indoor/outdoor option!“

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

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

“Staff was AMAZING, especially BZ the manager . They kept me and my friend safe, and protected us from an uncomfortable situation. Life savers for real! WONDERFUL DRINKS AND ATMOSPHERE! Plus it’s pet friendly so u get to see cuties as u enjoy ur drink!“

“Totally laid back with an excellent selection of craft beers on tap and bottles/cans, a full bar and frozen drinks. There is a large lovely beer garden and they regularly fire up the grill — bring your own meat! Karaoke and monthly quiz night are really fun with locals who love participating and singing along.“

“Some of the best food I have ever had. Additionally, the greatest servers and management ever. Truly the greatest place to go, my friends and I go almost weekly at this point. Check out the best restaurant ever. Jesus and Sebastian are the best!!“

“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.“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“This is my favorite store in my neighborhood! The food is as excellent as the service! It’s really like going to a family members house that treats you like they miss you!🥰sohel the store manager is awesome friendly helpful and professional 10 out of ten! Be sure to stop in for whatever you need under the sin or just a friendly welcoming smile🥰“
