Edit: Make us pay for the pool table while raising beer prices… ok. Shrink the table to 6 feet? Good lord. What’s going on with this place. I get the kids are funding the fun on the weekends because it’s close to the L, but get a grip. No more padronism from me.
It was a great neighborhood spot, my go to for years; but with so many other options, there’s not much left here to draw me in. No dogs. Prices have gone up. Pool is no longer free. At least the bar staff are still (mostly) friendly. Unfortunate, but I get that things change.

Used to bartend so boy do I know about annoying customers. I would also never go out of my way to leave a bad review (especially for a dive bar). But I waited patiently at the bar for a solid 25 mins watching the dude with the stache serve, no joke, 6 other people. Once he served the 7th person, I admittedly made a “Wth man” shrugging hand gesture. Granted, that would tick any service worker off… so I sincerely apologized. He made snide remarks toward me the whole time. I was this close to just walking out.
In my opinion there are millions of other spots nearby, same chill divey vibe, where you don’t get treated like a square of toilet paper.

Brooklyn Ale House was an amazing local spot. They’ve done a great job upgrading the beer list at George and Jacks but no dogs is no bueno

I love this place. Great music. Great vibe. My favourite dive bar. But please don't come here because I need a quiet spot at the bar to write.

A fun and friendly dive bar in Williamsburg. Good beers, pool table in the back.

They have a pool table and a projector and I beat my dumb brother at darts here. 10/10

We always thought this place was really cool but my opinion has changed significantly.
Last year I had asked George and Jack's if I could reserve the back pool room for my wedding after-party. I had DM'd them multiple times, even making a few trips in person to let them know the date and time we'd be arriving. Management was awful at responding (red flag #1) but ... eventually ... they got back to me saying, they couldn't reserve the back room for me but that their staff would be ready for us.
Fast forward to the night of, which was Sunday, January 14th 2024. It was 35 degrees out, and we just arrived after walking in our wedding attire from the Wythe Hotel. I was in my wedding dress and the bouncer outright REFUSED to let me in. I showed him all the messages that I had with management and I was still waiting at the door. When I asked to speak to the management, the Bouncer instead told me that he would never let me in. My friends had to slip him a $20 just to let me sit on the bench as we gathered the rest of our party who followed us here - so we could leave.
It was an awful experience and has really left me hating this place. The quaint ambience is 10000% not worth the service, and the attitude.

Loved this place. The music was at just the right volume. You could have a chat, but still bop along. Such a difference to other bars on a Saturday night. Will definitely go back.

Horrible experience. Horrible service. Rude and impolite bartender. Will not be back. Do yourself a favor and find a different bar!
I will be back purely because Anthony the doorman is the biggest gentleman. What a guy ♥️

Our favorite bar from our trip to NYC, no frills dive bar with good beer, good conversations and fun bartenders! Will return one day ?
