Really cool space. Huge and tons of seating. Varied menu of beers (lots of IPA-related if that's your thing) as well as some cocktails and other non-beer options

My wife and I had our wedding at Finback. We booked the space for the entire day. Niko and the team at Finback could not have been more helpful and supportive. They were really flexible in terms of how we wanted to structure the day, food, drinks, layout, etc. They worked really well with our vendors and the bartenders were super attentive and friendly. We and our guests had an incredible time. The fried chicken got rave reviews. I would highly recommend having your event in this space. Could not have been more fun.

Scary doll, lovely staff, what else could you ask for?

Our group (BKForge: Brooklyn for Reproductive and Gender Equity) recently held an event at Finback's Brooklyn location. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, we did not rent dedicated space — but Finback still set aside an alcove just for us, gave us lots of support both before and during the event, and overall made us feel very welcome. Coordinating ahead of time was very smooth, and all our questions were answered right away. Attendees at our event also remarked on how much they enjoyed coming to this spot. We definitely plan to come back in the future!

We hosted a party at Finback in the mezzanine and I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great venue to celebrate any occasion. We had about 45 people and it was perfect -- we ordered the food from Dumpling Up (delicious, a must!) which was a hit. Niko who was our point person in the lead up was amazing, always super responsive and accommodating to make it a great night. Greg and Max on the night of ensured we had everything we needed and were so friendly and fun. Good vibes, good food, good drinks -- can't say enough good things :)

The best beers on tap in Brooklyn. They also have a full bar with wine and cocktails. I came here a few times before and recently hosted a party. The staff is amazing. They helped me host my event without any issues. I highly recommend to check out Finback Brooklyn. I’ll be back for sure.

Used the upstairs area at Finback Gowanus for a private event (birthday party) and both Niko on the event planning side and Greg as the lead bartender on the day of the event could not have been better to work with. I would absolutely recommend going to Finback in general, but especially for a private event!

We rented The Lounge in the main taproom for my wife’s 50th b-day. Such a fun evening! Obviously delicious beers and food, but the staff was amazingly attentive to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. They really took care of us. Highly recommend Finback for a private event (and otherwise just to hang out and drink some delicious beers).
We hosted 12 events here over the span of just a few weeks so we're qualified to say that it's the perfect event space in every way! Great upstairs private space and an open floor plan on the ground with great energy that allowed us to host different groups on the same night. And we served beer and amazing dumplings (made by the owner's mom who just kept them coming fresh out of the kitchen...). What's better? The staff was super accommodating in every way (shout out especially to Niko and Joe who made it all super easy and fun!). Our new home away from home... Thanks, Finback! See you again soon...

The best brewery in Brooklyn in terms of beer quality. They also make great cocktails and are doing some really interesting things with ciders and beers with wine grapes. Friendly staff and a great space. We LOVE Finback!They also have a fantastic mezzanine level private room that can be rented - we rented it for our daughter's 1st birthday and our guests kept remarking how great the space was and how great the drinks were. Definitely recommend Finback for any of your private events! Niko, their Events Manager, was super communicative and easy to work with. Would definitely plan another party at Finback and in the meantime, will be a regular patron!

Great beers obviously but the dumplings and wings are delicious!!!!

Nice craft beer bar. If you like smoked beer they have Ploom which was very good.
