The staff was fabulous as when I arrived we altered how things were laid out. They just went along enthusiastically and we achieved our goal The special menu prepared by the chef was delicious, flavorful and plentiful. I cannot say enough about how magnificent the event was and how from the beginning to end all they want to do is please. The attendees have not stopped expressing how “perfect “ everything was. Thank you Threes Brewing for everything and making our birthdays very memorable!!!“

“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!

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..“

“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! 🍺“

“They really need to show cult classic films here! It's a huge space with a projector where we watched a World Cup game. Practically had the place to ourselves--super lowkey and classy vibe. I guess no one knows about it bc they don't really post on social media? Also, their beers are soooo delicious and have an incredible selection! They def know their stuff here.“

“On my first night over from the UK I was welcomed as a local. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They gave me tasters to find the right beer & it was great.
I returned over several nights & had a similar welcome; even remembered me by my name.
That’s the real meaning of hospitality. Well done guys.“

“This place is the absolute best.

As a craft beer drinker, Grimm has always been one of my favorite places in the city to grab a beer but what truly took the place to the next level is this past month when my now wife and I decided to hold our wedding at Grimm.

We had such an amazing time and a huge part of that is because of how welcoming and accommodating the staff was to us. They helped us from the early brainstorms of the wedding to the layout of the final event, to even proactively reaching out to us with alternatives for wedding photo locations when it looked like it was about to rain on our wedding day. This doesn't even mention all the times when they were so gracious and patient with answer our many questions about food options, wedding day schedules, and everything in between.

Amazing food. Amazing people. And (obviously) amazing beers!“

“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!“

“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.“

“the dumplings were amazing“

“Pumpkin painting was a blast!“

“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!“

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

“friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere“

“Nice mood, pretty. Hazy Ipas very good.“

“Excellent beer - friendly staff! Great atmosphere!!“

“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.“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

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

“Very good belgian style beers. Can't go wrong with anything on the draft list“

“Wish I could give 6 stars. Tracy absolutely made our night. So kind, friendly, and helped my family watch the Knicks after our tasting was rescheduled. One of our top nights in the city. It was such a treat to spend it with everyone at the brewery and Tracy made it happen. Such an awesome spot with the best people. Thank you Brooklyn brewery 💙🧡“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife and I hosted a 100 person outdoor wedding here and couldn't have had a better experience. Their event coordinator Angie was extremely transparent from the start and made planning the party a breeze throughout every step. We did the open bar package with Three's Brewing paired with the food package from Spectro (two shipping containers next to one another with a wooden deck/patio in the front), all of which were delicious and very affordable. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient, and I would highly recommend this location for anyone who is looking to throw a unique, fun, beautiful NYC wedding on Governor's Island!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Love it !! Ambiance amazing!!wepaaa“

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

“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!“

“We had the absolute best experience hosting my husband's birthday at Other Half Brewing Company, and a huge part of that was thanks to their incredible manager, Matthew and wonderful staff. From start to finish, they made what could have been a complex setup feel seamless, flexible, and genuinely enjoyable.
If you're planning a big gathering where things don’t run on a rigid schedule, this is *the* place. They were so accommodating with guests filtering in and out over a few hours due to different commitments, which made it feel relaxed and had plenty of space for our guests to hang around given the event went for 3 additional hours.

One of the biggest perks it’s both dog-friendly and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to join without hesitation. And unlike so many venues, they’re refreshingly reasonable with their rules and support other local businesses you can bring in pizza from Stretch and your own cake (we brought ours from Francie) without any of those ridiculous cake-cutting fees. That alone made a huge difference.

The drink selection was fantastic across the board. Beyond their excellent beers and beer flights, they also had great cocktails and a solid range of non-alcoholic options, so every guest felt taken care of. We especially loved their Annuelle partner wine series they even provided ice buckets for each bottle, which elevated the setup and made everything look so polished and thoughtful. The setting near Domino Park is stunning, and even with unpredictable weather, it created such a beautiful and memorable backdrop for our celebration.

Guest favorites were definitely the Crickets, Green City, and the rosé people are still talking about them.

Overall, this was one of those rare venues that combines great vibes, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. Matthew and the team truly went above and beyond to make our celebration special.“
