Great bar, if they added Harry Potter quizzes would be otherworldly. #sorryMK

We hosted our 60-person engagement party in their private event space and it was wonderful! Very spacious, private bar, and private bathrooms. The drinks were delicious and we were very well taken care of! There is no fee to reserve the space - just a minimum. Would recommend to anyone who is trying to host a large party in Brooklyn!

One of our favorite neighborhood bars in Williamsburg! If you’re looking for a cozy vibe, Guinness, and great company - you’ve found the place.

We had our engagement party here and highly recommend hosting your next event at The Craic. It was such a breeze from start to finish. The space is quite large (even has a private bathroom for your guests), has retractable TV screens if needed, and you can play your own music. The food & drinks were exactly what was needed. Service was top notch. Can’t draw it up much better.

Went there last night and it's incredible how at home I felt, the bartender was on point, very nice and had everything under control like a boss, I can't explain the vibe you just have to come by and experience it yourself. I have a new fav spot in Williamsburg.

Great atmosphere with good drinks. If you try to call they won’t answer. I had forgotten to close my tab after purchasing 2 drinks the other night. When I came back the following morning after trying to call and have them hold the card with no answer, I was told the card was not there. Not sure how it was misplaced less than 24 hours later - or if it was given to someone else accidentally. I shouldn’t have left my card, so that’s on me, but they need to get more organized if they’re going to hold onto cards when customers open tabs.

Decent pint, spot was cozy but on the posh end of things. Think I’d enjoy it more during happy hour or an off time.

We live in the neighborhood and stopped by for some drinks a few days ago. Everything was going great until it was time to leave.

My friend and I left earlier while our partners stayed to close the bill. The bartender had accidentally charged us for an extra beer. Rather than admit to the error, he gave an attitude and claimed that he hadn’t charged us for a bunch of drinks (which was untrue, the bill already included ALL the drinks we had, plus an additional IPA).

Rather than argue over this, we just paid the extra amount even though it shouldn’t have been on. It was not a busy night and should have been easy to correct. Then we find out once the charge posted on the credit card, that he added an additional $10 on his tip.

Sucks but that kind of behavior - not correcting the bill, giving an attitude about a mistake he made AND ADDING an amount onto the tip, will definitely make us never come here again.

Cozy, inviting, and servicing food that tastes like your grandma made it. Go for a great pint of Guinness and their Irish chicken curry pie. So good.

Popped in here for a drink after dinner. If you're in your 20s and really looking to hang, this is probably a great spot. But if you're not, it's a lot. Super crowded the early Saturday night we were there and a bit difficult to get the attention of the bartender, fine. The drinks themselves are fairly pricey for a neighborhood bar, which was surprising. We caught the tail end of live music, which could have been good had we gotten there earlier. What was confusing was the use of the space, as everyone really crowds towards the bar but there is a good amount of space near the tables. Not sure I necessarily need to go back?

First time coming to this place. Made my way out of Queens to give it a try because a friend recommended it. I was having a great time but there was this bartender (wont get into the specifics) who kind of threw me off guard. Would’ve been a better experience (more stars) if it weren’t for this particular interaction. All good. Hopefully, next time will be a better one.

After reading all of the reviews, I was honestly a bit confused walking into this place. In the simplest way, it just felt like a newly built hotel lobby -- the space is nice don't get me wrong, but it felt scattered and I definitely wouldn't describe it as cozy as the other reviews have. A bit of personal preference I'm sure, but wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for that distinct neighbourhood Irish pub feeling.
