Brooklyn Kura

Had the focaccia (incredible) and apple pie high ball (delicious and seasonal). Definitely worth coming back

Perfect drinks, great cocktails, space and service

Really great place
When we came the chef wasn't there but they allowed us to bring in food so we could drink and eat. The 🍶 sakes here are very good. They seasonal ones and those had so much favor and fruity taste. The atmosphere was super nice and elegant. We were able to reserve a spot for 8. Highly recommend this place . Definitely will be back.

Started going here regularly with friends. Great place to try different types of Sake as a person who never drank it prior. Flights are perfectly priced and offer a great variety. Seasonal drink options are always giving me something new to try. Vibes and aesthetic are perfect. Bartenders are informative on what stuff we’d want to try and might like. Big fan and can’t recommend enough!

Brooklyn Kura is a hidden gem! Stopped by for some sake and an appetizer—loved it! The sake selection is excellent and the appetizer was fresh and tasty. Cozy spot with a relaxed vibe, perfect for a quick drink or light bite.

Did a small client event here with private tour. Staff were incredibly helpful in planning, Tim’s tour was great, and the sake/atmosphere in the Taproom was excellent.

They have a hopped sake that is phenomenal.

There’s a little corner of Brooklyn where the air smells faintly of steamed rice and ambition. Not the Silicon Valley kind of ambition—the human kind. The kind that says: We’re going to brew sake here, in this concrete jungle, because why the hell not?

Walk into this brewery and it feels like you’ve stumbled into a place that isn’t trying to copy Tokyo or Kyoto, but instead, Brooklyn translated into sake. Their brews aren’t polite. They’re alive—expressive, distinct, unapologetically themselves. You taste one and it doesn’t just sit on your tongue; it slaps you around a little, then leaves you thinking about it long after.

The cocktails are where things get weird—in the best possible way. Forget your usual gin-and-tonic safety nets. Here, it’s creativity taking the lead role in drinks that feel like experiments gone very, very right. Doritos liquor? Sure, why not? They’ve got the guts to mess with tradition and the skill to pull it off.

And the food? These aren’t just “snacks” you mindlessly chew while drinking. These are thoughtful, dangerously good plates—salty, savory, and perfect in the way the best drinking food always is. They know exactly what you need to keep drinking: a little crunch, a little fat, a hit of umami that makes you lean back, sigh, and then reach for another pour.

This isn’t the fake Brooklyn of Instagram pop-ups or food fads. This is the real deal. A brewery that respects tradition but isn’t chained to it, a place that knows who it is and serves it straight up. If you want to drink sake that makes you feel something—this is where you go.

Lovely service and great beverage selection. Bartender was very knowledgeable!

Visit. This. Space. Now. Always floored by how amazing this space is; not just the taproom, but the brewery itself. You can request a brewery tour ahead of time! That and the bar staff is awesome too! Kyle is amazing and they make awesome cocktails alongside their sake. AND they just recently released a kasu Shochu that is phenomenal. GO NOW! What’s also cool is that they’re in Industry City. There’s so much to do around there!

i was exceptionally naive to how good sake could be prior to coming here, as my previous experiences were solely at hibachi joints. this is now a go to for me, my gal, and visitors that come to our apartment and want to go out.

Amazing sakes with a commitment to true craft.

Fantastic sake and amazing cocktails. Best on a beautiful day sitting in the courtyard.

Hadn't been in this area before but was drawn in by the sake when we ventured out. It's a cool place with a pretty open concept. It was a nice day out and when the garage windows/doors are open it's a nice vibe. We sat at the bar and ordered two of the flights. We aren't so knowledgeable with sake so the differences between each were noted but not to an extent I can talk intelligently about them. But they were all delicious! And the pricing on the flight was really quite fair.

The surrounding area is super cute and there's tons of places to eat, drink, and shop. It's far so I wouldn't necessarily go all the way out here for this but if you're exploring the shops nearby this is a good option for a refreshing drink.

We came for a tour and the Brookyln Kura team was awesome and shared their love of sake with us.
