The most goated beer bar in Brooklyn, replete with an expertly curated to-go fridge. Anyone leaving less than five stars here is a total clown. Speaking of clowns, check out the bathroom. Vegan-friendly!

Beer Karma is one of the best spots for craft beer in NYC. This cozy bar has it all: a top-notch selection, a welcoming vibe, and some of the best staff in town.

The small staff: Sergio and Emily and owner Dan (who's often behind the bar himself) are amazing. They know their beer inside out and somehow seem to remember everyone's names.

The bar hosts weekly 5k-ish runs on Monday nights featuring awesome beer specials and free pizza for all runners. The regular crew is everyone from avid marathoners training for their next race to casual joggers.

The draft beer list is fantastic and diverse, featuring everything from hype IPAs to less common gems like dark milds, obscure-style lagers, and cream ales. They’re always rotating in something new and different, so there’s always a reason to come back.

Their coolers are also packed with the latest cans from NYC area breweries, available to enjoy at the bar or take home. Plus, if you’re not drinking alcohol, they have a great range of non-alcoholic options like hopped seltzers, Liquid Death cans, and non-alcoholic beers.

You can bring your own food and the Birria-Landia food truck across the street is a must if you're in the area.

On top of all that, the prices are unbeatable. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Killer beer selection from easy drinking to worthwhile hype beers- without the hype atmosphere. Chill spot for good conversation with a solid corps of welcoming regulars and great bar staff, both always ready with food, drink, or venue recs in and around Williamsburg.

Came in and asked if they had their $5 lager can special on Thursday. Bartender said yes. Had a couple and then ended up getting charged full price on my bill. Asked the bartender why and he acted like he never heard of the deal WHICH IS LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE. Didn’t offer to make it right. Avoid this scammy place.

Dan was a really friendly guy. Went in for only one beer and stayed for 3 because of how good they were and the conversation. Would love to go again.

So friendly and chill. It’s almost like the chill room of Rocka Rolla for when you need a break with great beers.
