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

“I must come back !! Jeff is great“

“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“

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

“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.“

“One of my favorite taprooms/breweries in NY. Their flavor profiles perfectly match up with my tastes and grabbing a beer here is always pleasant. I’m gluten intolerant (new, depressing development), so I have to cheat sparingly and in a calculating way. Coming here like 3 times a year and getting a few beers is always 1000000% worth it. Their IPAS/Sours, or anything w citra hops or that lactose thing they do is always BANGING.“

“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!!“

“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“

“Small but cool little local beer place to enjoy a decent variety of beer .
The orange one is delicious.
I had a good time while visiting around and found it on Google. I didn't know this place existed. Kind like hidden“

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

“the dumplings were amazing“

“Great beer selection & ambiance.“

“Oh man I don’t know where to start. Such an amazing community spot. What Shinobu and Ayako built here is truly amazing. From the amazing and well curated events (music, food, book clubs) to the incredible sake and cocktail program, I’m just constantly being blown away. I know Olive Garden already took it, but I really feel like KSW better embodies the motto “when you’re here, your family.” Met some of my best friends here :)“

“Our favorite hangout spot in the neighborhood. There is a solid draft menu and a few bottle/can options also. There is usually a rotating food vendor cooking next store also, but you can bring in DoorDash/etc too. The bartenders are good and the cat (Brownie) is super friendly!“

“Great fun place!! We were in sour way to the airport. And looking for a place to enjoy before 4h waiting
And was awesome!!!
Food was tasty and the guy who served was very friendly!! Those churros and the end…. Huuuuum
With strawberries 🍓 recommend 👍👍👍 💯“

“Pumpkin painting was a blast!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good bar, good beers and good people 👍🏼“

“We are so happy that we chose Talea to host our welcome night for our wedding weekend. We were looking for a casual, but large enough spot for our 130ish guests and where we could cater our own food since we couldn't have Vietnamese food at our actual wedding. The events staff are super easy to work with, the price is reasonable, and the space is really beautiful with lots of natural greenery so you don't need to decorate yourself. The food and drinks that they serve are also great and I really appreciated that they had non-alcoholic options since I don't drink myself. They make a custom menu for your event and there are little details like putting a custom sign or having a projector so you can have a slideshow or video playing in the background as well. I really recommend this spot for hosting any type of event.“

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

“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.“
