“Always LOVE coming to KCBC when we’re in NY. Wouldn’t be a trip unless we went there. Staff is always awesome, the tap list is always phenomenal and the vibe is always right. Didn’t get any beer pictures this time around, just doggos.“

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

“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! 🍺“

“Couldn’t recommend a better place to host a private event in Brooklyn.

The events team were great to work with and we had such a great experience working with David and Sara and the entire team.

The food options were perfect and we had the best experience for our baby shower and the entire process was seamless“

“Cool high ceilinged space with brewing taking place right in the middle of the floor. Great selection of beers, small food menu, but everything I had was superb. Service was attentive and friendly. I’ve been road tripping and visiting a LOT of breweries but their Almost Famous NEIPA is the best beer I’ve had this trip.“

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

“the dumplings were amazing“

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

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

“They do have some of the best cloudy sake. It is legit really good and I come to the area just for it. (Their Doburoku is the best). Sometimes they do have live music as well.

I applaud to Whoever open this place as it is really good and such a nice departure from the usual beer breweries.“

“friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere“

“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!“

“Tens of CBs are brewed on-site in large brewing tanks, featuring lagers, hoppy ales, sours, spontaneous brews, and stouts. Highlights include the bold Double Negative (10%) and the rich Yearbook (12%), both priced similarly to the rest. Small and medium glass options make it easy to taste a variety at reasonable prices. Friendly staff complete the experience.“

“Great beer selection & ambiance.“

“One of my favorite breweries in New York City, I first discovered it back in 2013 during my bike rides through Astoria. I was immediately captivated by the exceptional quality of its beers and the unique atmosphere of its taproom, tucked away, like many great craft breweries, in an industrial neighborhood that only added to its mystique. In short, excellent beer, outstanding staff, great music, and an all-around fascinating environment.“

“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...“

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

“Pumpkin painting was a blast!“

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

“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.“

“I can’t rave enough about this place. The beer, of course, is fantastic. I lived in northern Europe and I love true traditional German pilsners. Most craft brewers make something they call a pilsner, but many miss the mark, making a bland light beer. Eckhart has made possibly the best German pilsner I’ve had in the states. It’s got all the subtle flavors, high notes, crisp and sharpness, depth – truly delicious and very much the paradigm of the style. Even though Eckhart doesn’t specialize in IPAs, they also make a terrific straight-ahead old-school IPA, and when we were there, they had a smokey rye beer which was unlike any other beer I’d had, and was delicious. Bonus - the food here is actually really great. We had: brotzeit – which is a platter of meats and sauerkraut and pickled veggies, and was divine; kartoffelpuffer – which is basically the world’s greatest tater tots; a delicious cucumber salad; and the “deluxe” house-made potato chips and dip, with boquerones, pickled chilis and creme fraiche – all totally amazing. I also suggest that if you can score a booth, go for it. We were in a booth and it was really cozy and nice to be able to have a conversation without shouting. So happy to have the place nearby. Definitely one of my new favorites.“

“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!“

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

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

“I noticr this loc. looking for a place to pee. Had a beer! The place was very welcoming and relxing. LGBT+ friendly. Bathroom xcleaned, decor beautiful price afforable, they even have free condoms!!!!
Worth to come by again from the Bronx.“

“Wow, First sip of the gridlock hazy IPA made me snap to! Was not expecting the substantial mouth feel from this hazy IPA with a great balance of oat malt and grapefruit hop. I expected it to be lighter. But it almost felt creamy. Not heavy, but much more mouth feel than I’m used to when I’m not drinking an imperial/double ipa.

This IPA delivers. I’m buying in Long Island supermarkets and this baby was in ShopRite! 🙏 This one will join my rotation.“

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

“Only stumbled across this because I wanted to have a drink with a friend who was sailing on the Queen Mary 2 the next day.

There's nothing fancy about it, but, as a brewery, they actually have a good craft beer list and the bartender was happy to tell you about the offerings. The Storyteller Imperial Stout was excellent, and I'm admittedly hard to please.

Even better than the beer is the view from the tables outdoors, which features the Statue of Liberty. Worth a visit by itself.“

“Perfect spot with the perfect outdoor seating to enjoy the weather!! Beers and empanadas, what more can you ask for? Love that this place has an indoor and outdoor option, ive been here a few times and the employees are always cool. Great for dates, family time, or catching up with friends“

“Anyway, it's the best! From the moment I stepped into the store, I felt happy wrapped in the smell of craft beer.

Every beer is unique and has a world-class taste.

If you go to New York, don't miss this place!“

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

“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.“

“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 this place. People and beer choices are great“

“Writing this from an events perspective, our wedding welcome party was INCREDIBLE. It’s the perfect location and we got so many complements from our guests. We were able to bring in Roberta’s and Malai for catering and everything was seamless. Such an incredible location too. I will be an Other Half beer loyalist for life!“

“We hosted a wedding welcome event at Talea and it was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely recommend. Bonnie was fantastic coordinating all the details leading up to the event, and Manny and the staff took amazing care of us on the day! We did an open bar for our guests and Talea was very well-staffed. No one waited more than 30 seconds to be served. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and nice. Food was excellent as well! Great experience all around, thanks Talea!“

“This place was absolutely amazing delicious food GREAT service by our waitress Liz she was in the money I definitely recommend that if you’re looking for a great place to take your family this is the spot. Will be definitely going back in the near future I rate this place 5 stars my girlfriend and myself enjoyed the food environment and music played staff were amazing“

“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.“
