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!!!“

“10/10 experience! Went there for our anniversary and everything was just perfect! The place is cozy and intimate, food was absolutely delicious - I can taste the freshness and delicacy! The chef was so nice to offer us the full dessert set for our celebration. Can’t wait to come back and try their new season dishes!“

“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..“

“Wine was fantastic. Food was amazing. Austin was both. My friend and I think about our great experience often and would 100% recommend others to go, as we will be returning soon! Service was friendly, wine was funky, vibes were fabulous🙌🏻“

“Great experience ! Food was good and service great . The food was so flavorful I had the oyster crunchy rice bowl and loved the crunch and flavor and my partner had the curry udon which was also flavorful . Food came out pretty fast the server was knowledgeable helpful and friendly. Definitely go!“

“So excited to see this place open!“

“This definitely wasnt my first visit.. but every time I come here, I find something new to love.. The energy inside this place is just amazing.. Today was the first time I brought my wife and kids and they absolutely loved it too. Honestly how could they not?!! Wonderful people incredible food and such a welcoming atmosphere. I honestly dont know how every single item on the menu can be this good but hey yes it is! Thank you all:)“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..“

“The BEST selection of craft beers, charming atmosphere and excellent selection of to gos as well. Great location near other breweries. The owner Shane has long history of curating a fun local experience with the best taste of beers unparalleled in the area.“

“​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 ;)“

“4/5 Stars – Great experience, but felt a bit rushed
Overall, we had a really nice time at this place. The atmosphere was pleasant, and everything we ordered tasted great.
However, the service was just a little *too* fast. The staff was incredibly attentive, but they started clearing dishes and taking plates from our table before we were completely finished. It made us feel a bit rushed to wrap up our meal.
Everything else was wonderful, but a little more breathing room between courses would make the experience perfect!“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“(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“

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

“Sunday bartender Kate goes above and beyond. Not only did she make me laugh and feel welcome, she was instrumental in counseling me through a handful of unrelated amputations. The arduous story about how I lost my left foot on a Monday and then my right ear Thursday would sound dull to a less caring person, but not Kate. When I lost my left hand ring finger, she made a hilarious joke about how she didn’t want to marry me anyway. It broke the tension.
I’m beginning to sense I’m overstaying my welcome, and I want to be respectful, I just hope Kate knows how much she’s meant to me and my Sunday mornings.“

“Friendly bartender, family friendly too which was a bonus since it was raining and our original plans to go to Brooklyn bowl fell through (closed for private event). Good options on tap and a selection of NA as well. Would steer away from the pies or ask for them to be baked longer. The middle was cold and we've had better pies elsewhere. The bar allows you to bring in outside food so we also got some dumplings and noodles from vanessa's around the corner which were great.“

“We stopped here for coffee during the morning rush. There was a 20 minute line. Baristas were positive and efficient. Flavor and pour on the latte is excellent. Backyard space is spacious and a nice vibe. Inside space is dark with nice soft seating and AC.“

“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“

“This place is soooo cool. Best selection of pinball machines I've seen in nyc and all very well maintained. $5 Narangansetts all night. Also the fried chicken was RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Bartender last night was very welcoming and sweet. Ill certainly be returning“

“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“

“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.“

“My mom and her Zeta Amicae sisters held an event here on Sunday April 19th and it was an overall blast! Great food, great drinks and even greater company. Crystal is the SUPERSTAR of the bar and handled taking orders for an event of 70+ people with as much swiftness and expertise that can be expected of a pro. My one thorn (out of this very beautiful rose) is that the event itself was understaffed. Many people weren’t being served unless they ordered at the bar (and these were people with mobility issues). Also only 2 bartenders and 1 server bringing out food for people for an event that’s 70+ is just a lot for staff to handle by themselves and can cause understandable frustrations. Even thought it took awhile to order, once food and drinks were inputted they came out pretty quickly.

I had some of the buffalo chicken wings with fries and the wings were BOMB.COM! I also heard the burger was pretty good and I was able to get a bite of someone’s pretzel which was super pillowy and warm. the

Like I said, overall it was great time with a staff of people dedicated to making sure it stayed that way ✨“

“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!“

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

“I had an amazing experience here, all thanks to Alicia, Matthew, and G! From the moment I walked in, their customer service was top-tier. They were incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of without making me feel rushed. The quality of service they provided was flawless. It’s rare to find a team where everyone is so dedicated and welcoming. Thank you, Alicia, Matthew, and G! I will definitely recommend and be 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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I recently visited Limosneros and honestly had an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant, welcoming, and perfect for a night out with friends or family. The music, decor, and overall energy made the restaurant feel lively without being overwhelming.

The food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The birria tacos were easily one of the best things on the menu, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The margaritas were also outstanding and paired perfectly with the meal. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and quality of the food.

What really stood out was the customer service. Cynthia and her team created such a warm and welcoming environment that made the experience even better. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.

Overall, Limosneros is definitely a restaurant I would recommend to anyone looking for great food, amazing drinks, and a fun atmosphere. I will absolutely be coming back again soon.“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“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.“
