Gender HarassmentI initially had a nice time here - the bartenders and security guy at the entrance were nice. However, things took a turn for the worst with the bathroom situation. There are three single use bathrooms (2 across from each other and one in another corner). One says women, one says men, and one says women and men or something like that. I was waiting in line and ended up using the women's room since it was the one available. When I exited, some guy (who I thinks works there?) accosted me and told me I had to use the men's room. I told him it doesn't matter because all the bathrooms are single use. He said "well here it matters." I then said he didn't know my gender and he scoffed at that. Later that night, I went to the bathroom again and happened to use the women's room again because it was the one available, and again the guy harassed me when I exited the bathroom (I ignored him this time). I'm not sure why this bar has a bathroom policeman to tell people which bathroom to use. What he was doing was also illegal - It has been illegal in New York City to discriminate against an individual on the basis of gender identity or expression, including denying access to bathrooms, since 2002 (this is from the NYC Human Rights website).If he was there to stop people from using drugs in the bathroom, then he failed because I saw multiple people exiting a bathroom a few different times. Also, I saw at least one visibly trans / gender nonconforming person at the bar - I would hate to think that the guy was harassing that person too. He was working on Saturday night, February 10th. I will absolutely not be coming back here. He needs a sensitivity training or be fired.

I was being harassed by some stranger and the bar crew didn’t not do anything about it. Except for throwing beer all over my suit when I was trying to leave the bar following this very frightening and very unpleasant situation. Not okay, and very bad

Okay so this might be the straightest bar in Williamsburg. It’s a bit hot, temperature wise. Also plays great classic rock music. Truly fun music. I knew every word. Crowd is late 20s. Line for pool table as well as darts. People are friendly.
Awesome place to spend a rainy afternoon in Brooklyn. We are from Canada, and wanted to have a friendly neighborhood bar experience. We certainly got it here. They also had free bagels and cream cheese and vegetables on a Sunday. Bonus! The bartender greeted us and was very friendly. One bartender, Matt, had an excellent playlist. #1 experience!

Subject: Incident Report: Unpleasant Experience with BartenderDear George and Jacks Tap Room,I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an unfortunate incident that occurred during my recent visit to George and Jacks taproom. I believe it is crucial for management to be aware of such occurrences to maintain the reputation and inclusivity of your establishment.On 12/2/2023, around 10PM, my friends and I experienced an incident involving one of your staff members, specifically the bartender on duty(tall white balding man). Regrettably, the encounter was marked by rude and racist behavior directed towards two women of color who were part of our group.The comments made and the overall treatment of these individuals were not only offensive but also completely contrary to the welcoming atmosphere that we expect from George and Jack taproom. I believe in the importance of fostering an environment that is inclusive, respectful, and free from discrimination.I understand that incidents like these may not reflect the values of your establishment as a whole, and I trust that you take such matters seriously. It is my hope that you address this issue promptly by investigating the incident and taking appropriate action to ensure that all patrons feel comfortable and respected in your establishment.I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to hearing about the steps taken to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. Thank you for your time and commitment to maintaining a positive and inclusive environment at George and Jacks taproom.Sincerely,Customers

Genuinely the worst bar I have ever been to. I cannot stress enough how rude and nasty the bald bartender is here. My friends have had similar poor experiences with him. He's got to go. If you ever thought about coming here DO NOT, unless your looking for the worst service on planet earth.

How it is really depends on the night but 80% of the time I've had a great time here and staff was friendly. The pluses are that they have a wide selection of fairly priced beers, it's a convenient location and it's a beautiful old bar. The downsides which are rare is that it can be very busy and bartenders can be sullen and unfriendly. Again, more good than bad.
