13 Best Brewpubs near Brooklyn

“So excited to see this place open!“

“Came here on a beautiful spring day and had a great date night. My partner loves beer, and he really liked the brews here. I don't drink beer, but they have great cocktails too! It is huge! Lots of seating, so good for big groups. Everyone was really friendly.“

“The nachos here were so delectable I literally had to put my hair in a bun before digging in! 😂 I stumbled upon this place by accident while looking for tacos and walked into a loud, jumping atmosphere. Despite it being packed, my son and I were seated right away.
​Our server, Eliana, was amazingly friendly and wore a really cool hat! The food took a little while to come out, but the place was crowded, and let me tell you—it was absolutely worth the wait. My nachos were an easy 11/10! My son’s chicken tenders and fries were tasty, though the waffle fries were a bit on the salty side.
​The only cons were that I expected the bathrooms to be a bit cleaner, and they seemed a little understaffed. There were more bussers than servers, which made the overall service a bit slow. Still, the food and vibes mean I’ll definitely be back!“

“nice atmosphere great for groups of friends and family and the food is delicious“

“Great tap/can/cellar list. Food is solid and staff is great.“

“Recently stopped in to kill some time, and this turned out to be the whole highlight of my NYC trip that day! I previously have had Other Half brews before and since this was conveniently located by where I was headed I added it. I had 3 different beers, the Broccoli, Bacon and the BA Sugar cereal and all were amazing. Staff was super friendly and they had some great tunes in the background. Highly recommend!“

“The beer selection here is great, with lots of interesting taps (which rotate quickly) and a wide range of cans (with no corkage fee!), along with a surprisingly quality wine list for a beer bar.

Of course there are plenty of bars with good beer in the city; what sets City Hops apart is the people. The bartenders are fantastic, with extensive knowledge of the menu and great recommendations, and also an unusual attention to detail (see if you can find any smudges or streaks on your freshly polished glass...)

The bar's location also draws a diverse crowd, with neighborhood regulars, a happy hour crowd from Midtown and tourists coming off the tram all ending up in the same place. It's a rare spot that's equally well suited for bringing a group of friends, coming solo and making new friends, sitting and reading, or watching whatever game happens to be on.“

“stopped in for a beer while walking around brookfield place and ended up hanging out longer than planned. they had a good selection on tap and it was nice being able to try a couple different options. atmosphere was relaxed and casual, good spot to take a break without feeling rushed. food was better than i expected for a brewery setup, and portions were decent. service was friendly and got orders out pretty quickly. it can get busy around happy hour, but the vibe stays pretty chill. overall a solid place to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and unwind for a bit.“

“hosted a private party here on a friday evening. could not have been better. venue is beautiful, unique, spacious and charming and needs very little decor additions. carlita is a joy to work with -- professional, responsive, and committed to making your event vision come to life. the staff (from front of house to back of house) are kind and accommodating, and the food was delicious. can't go wrong here. thank you houston hall!!“
