“the beer the place the people“

“All I ask is to understand they brew well. The flavors are on point everything is great and the service is great too. If you're on lighter flavors my place for you. There are heavy flavors too as for the porter. Didn't try the food...“

“It's nice to know that there is yet another taproom on this side of Queens Boulevard. It's quite easy to get to this location via public transportation.

The beers are the same good ones from their Glendale & Gowanus locations.“

“I had a great time at Circa the staff was very attentive food was excellent. Thank you for great service.“

“Between the aimrt and the staff, this place is awesome. I have heard that the beer is also awesome here too(but I can't drink it). However they have more than beer and they have na too! They play all the major sports if that's your thing. You can reserve tables for parties. Beers are great, staff are great! Seriously give them all the tips. And they often have pop up food, whis had always been spot on! Tonight was good by Q! Yummm... I hope you get a Q food night! Also, all bathrooms are non gendered and clean. Drink here be happy..“

“We hosted a birthday dance party in the Tiny Montgomery space and it couldn't have been a more perfect venue! The space itself is awesome and ideal for a party of 50-75 people - intimate but not too squishy. And the staff and bartenders were awesome. They were a pleasure to deal with throughout and everyone had a blast! I would definitely host my next party here again!!“

“I visited Other Half Brewing while I was in Brooklyn and absolutely loved it! The vibe is super chill with a nice mix of locals and visitors. The IPAs are some of the best I’ve ever had, really fresh and full of flavor. The taproom has a cool industrial feel and it’s dog-friendly too, which I loved. Perfect spot to hang out with friends or just relax with a great beer. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Brooklyn! 🍺“

“I can’t believe it took me this long to check this spot out! I think I’m in Love! Tucked away from route 17 is a sexy little spot with incredible brews and cool vibes!
Amanda was awesome, and poured me the way to Glory!
Thank You!😊“

“Great craft beers. Loved everything we tasted.“

“The exterior of the building is typcial of the post industrial buildings in Bushwick but don't let appearances fool you. The interior is reminiscent of a Bavarian beer garden. The egg & sausage sandwich served was great as was the beer. They had recently replaced the Czech dark lager with their rendition of Altbier and I was quite satisfied by the fruity, malty taste. I would like to thank Daniel for the fine service as well.“

“Great beer. Great location. But just a tap room now. Tons of space to hold an event or just chill out with some friends. They have a decent bar menu as well. Their is even a record collection and a turntable where your favorite bartender can also slap some of your favorite wax down. -and YES, they have Huey Lewis and the news!“

“Cozy bar with a friendly staff and great beers! I had a great time performing here.“

“Bke is even more than the best Kombucha ever. It’s a lifestyle and a beautiful community ❤️ I highly recommend!!“

“Always a hospitable and attentive staff. A wonderful and stylish space. And of course - delicious beers brewed on the impressive site. Always something going on there and a great addition to the Staten Island scene.“

“Delicious gluten-free IPA! You guys have raised the bar for the gluten free beer peeps!! 🍺🍺“

“I did a sake tasting experience here for my birthday and I loved it so much. The staff were amazing to be with and the sake was perfect. I loved seeing the factory where they produced their products and also learn about what makes them special. I wish more restaurants and stores carried their products.“

“friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere“

“Pumpkin painting was a blast!“

“the dumplings were amazing“

“Cool place with craft beer. The beer variety is quite unique, and they serve cocktails as well. I had a Hot Toddy, a classic, and a spicy beer that had margarita like flavor, very interesting consistency. The staff is nice and the decor is clean. A good place to hang around with friends if you like good beer.“

“My wife and I had recently just gotten married. We had asked NJ Beer Co to host our welcome party for the night before the wedding. We had brought snacks and NJ Beer Co had set up tables for us to use as we gathered. It was an amazing time and the drinks were great! Would recommend NJ Beer Co for any small gatherings, as well as large groups!“

“Great beer selection & ambiance.“

“Amazing craft sake in a nice space with outdoor and indoor seating.“

“Came here on a beautiful spring day and had a great date night. My partner loves beer, and he really liked the brews here. I don't drink beer, but they have great cocktails too! It is huge! Lots of seating, so good for big groups. Everyone was really friendly.“

“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“

“good service and good selection. many different drinks(not just beer), didn't try the food though.“

“#throwback2019

Established in 1988, right when Brooklyn was still more grit than glitter, this place helped kickstart the borough’s craft beer rebellion before artisanal anything became a personality trait.

Walked in expecting a quiet pint, walked out slightly lighter in the wallet and heavier in questionable decisions. The vibe, industrial chic meets controlled chaos, where long communal tables turn strangers into temporary drinking partners with strong opinions about hops.

Signed up for the brewery tour with beer tasting, which is essentially an educational journey that starts with history and ends with you confidently nodding at flavors you cannot actually identify. You learn about the brewing process, ingredients, and craftsmanship, then immediately forget half of it after the second tasting glass.

Their beers are solid, dependable, and just experimental enough to make you pretend you understand “notes of citrus with a rebellious finish.” Truth is, after a couple, everything tastes like confidence.

Fun fact, this brewery played a big role in putting Brooklyn on the global beer map, long before the neighbourhood became a backdrop for influencers and rent anxiety.

Good place to hang, drink, and reflect on life choices. Or forget them entirely, which is probably the point.“

“Just happened to walk past and saw some people on their laptops, so decided to pop in for a bit - it’s a very cute and modern setup with both indoor and outdoor seating. Love the more chill vibe that works for ‘wfh’ers, but would definitely be a nice place for an outdoor drink in the summer too.“

“nice atmosphere great for groups of friends and family and the food is delicious“

“Great brewery tap room. All their beers ready to drink. If I have one criticism is that they don’t have options for the ladies if they don’t drink beer.“

“We went to the tasting room/brewery and had the most amazing time. This was an jaw dropping introduction to Korean traditional sool and I am super excited to tell my friends, co workers, and my family. The flavors of each brew is so beautiful, and the amazing food that came with it made my tongue super happy!! willl be going back again and again, and going to order bottles for my friends!!! thank you Alice for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of korean soooool!!“

“Great location of a popular brewery. It was a treat to visit this location when I was visiting. I was treated to the same chill vibe you can always expect from other half, with tons of cute doggies. They had their standard menu of beers along with canned cocktails and special cocktails for the non beer drinkers. It wasn’t huge inside but the overflow of guests could find more seating outside. Great view of the river and some interesting people watching at domino park rounded out the afternoon.“

“Love this place. People and beer choices are great“

“Conveniently located in the middle of Industry City, Gun Hill Publick House was a nice stop after a client meeting in the area. A nice selection beers to choose from. I enjoyed a spiced lager and my colleague loved the IPA he tried. Some basic personal pizzas for snaking and looks like live music happens there.“

“Lovely female-owned brewery in the heart of Williamsburg - right by McCaren park!

I thoroughly enjoyed all their tastings, but believe their DDH (double dry hopped) Hazy IPA takes the cake in terms of pure voluptuousness and flavor. Service was excellent, and prices are in line with what you'd expect for fresh beer in the area. Interior vibes are welcoming with plenty of sunlight!“

“Absolute necessary stop if in the neighborhood of worth a drive/ride if outside 👍“

“Beef Nachos are awesome 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Cute, corner bar. Just stopped in for a drink quick and ended up staying for a few and a shared jerk chicken quesadilla with a friend. Margaritas were awesome and the happy hour was so good. Would totally stop back by when I'm in the neighborhood.“

“The soup was amazing i recomendable“
