Classic dive in Red Hook with a good happy hour ($1 off almost all drinks but beer&shot combos). Happy to have finally stopped by!

This place is great. We found ourselves looking for a tasty burger and ended up here. Drinks were poured well and that burger with onion rings was damn good. Cooked fresh to order, loaded with all the traditional toppings....just a really good burger. Bartenders were friendly and the music selection was super fun as well. read more

Great place for a beer and burger. Bartenders are amazing and very friendly. I definitely recommend this place, nice big backyard too. read more

Even before I lived nearby, this was one of my favorite bars. I'm so glad it is a part of the neighborhood! Best French fries around.

Food quality, prices, vibe get it 4 stars by me! Chalkboard menu offers great burgers, pulled pork sliders, frito pie and hot dogs. We get takeout burgers on the regular. I quit drinking, but it's got a great day drinking and carrying on with friends. They have a spacious outdoor area out back, and a dive bar feel. It is a dive bar. Cash only, but they house an atm read more

Please do yourself a favor and hit up this spot. My favorite chicken wing spot in the whole nyc. I say this proudly. The service is great as well. With a few locals that are down to earth. The location is steep from my house but always a great treat when I'm around this side of Brooklyn. read more

Ice House is a neighborhood dive bar with cheap drinks and a competent kitchen. Pulled pork sandwiches are popular at $4 each or two for $7. I also recommend the Frito Pie, chili cheese fries, or even the caesar salad. I've been coming for a couple of years, not often enough to be considered a regular, but many regulars do exist and they know how to ask for what they want. It can be pretty hectic at peak hours so make your server interactions cordial and precise; if they want to gab, they'll let you know. The backyard is a fun scene on warm evenings or for weekend brunch. I was back there on a windy day last Fall and the shade umbrellas were blowing all over the place. The poor bartender was very exasperated and I tried to help wrangle the furniture. Glad they've bounced back from those difficult times. This is a classic bar, no frills, though you can obtain a slice of Steve's authentic key lime pie for dessert. You'll definitely feel like a newcomer your first half dozen times, but it's familiar and inviting nonetheless. Leave your bullshit at the door and have an old-fashioned good time. read more

How the FKUC did this place make the most authentic Paloma I've had since living in Mexico?! Also: Frito Pies in bag. I'm not even mad at the hangover. They allow me to drink until I think I'm hot. read more

Best burger in Red Hook. Always hooked to the perfect temperature, good fries, great seasonal salads, and really good wings. Friendly service, all the locals frequent here. Good price, cash only. Well behaved dogs allowed in the backyard. read more

Great local spot to meet someone and grab a beer and grub. Love the back patio, plenty of places to sit.

Came here after hanging out in the area for a few hours for some drinks. The inside is real divey and can get full pretty quick as it isn't all that big. What makes this an even bigger draw is the back yard area which has several tables and chairs so chilling here with drinks and bar grub was great. Unfortunately this makes it limited to the warmer months of the year. The drink selection was pretty decent best I can tell. I had some beers and a few of a cider that I'd never seen before so that was cool and the staff were pretty cool despite how busy it became as the evening crowd rolled in. I didnt have any of the food but some of the choices sounded pretty good. If I find myself outbthis way again maybe I'll try something. Again the best part is the backyard area, so if you're coming through, make it a warm night. read more

This place is AWESOME! They make cheap eats for everyone: burgers, fries, onion rings. It's the usual bar food but done at an exceptional level. Food is simple and easy and great the fam! ‍‍‍ Love how they have kept prices low while offering simple good meals despite the horrors of inflation. Cheers to good food in the neighborhood that is family friendly! read more

Went here for some late night dinner. Local hole in the all bar with a nice vibe. They have a nice outdoor back patio. They do seem annoyed that you order food though but maybe that was just my perception. The food was good for a bar and I would def go back if I was a local! read more

I wish this place was in Manhattan! I'd frequent every week. After an afternoon on Gov Island, my friend and I were going to stop by Hometown BBQ. They were sold out of everything we wanted so we relocated to this spot, and I'm so glad we did! There's tons of places to sit and the bar has a warm inviting vibe. We got a spacious table in the garden out back. We reviewed the menu and once decided, went inside to place our order at the bar. My friend and I got the pork sliders, two burgers (bonus points for free jalapeños!), onion rings, sweet potato fries and a few draft beers. The burgers were nicely charred, onion rings were beer battered and the pulled pork sliders were perfectly sauced and savory on pillowy buns. Service was prompt and friendly. The bartenders were super nice and the regulars at the bar were fun and talkative. The demographic was varied, from young 20s celebrating a birthday to young parents with their toddlers to middle aged men. My friend and I slowly ate and got another round of beers. The environment was awesome, the food was solid and the prices were so reasonable. If I'm ever back in Red Hook, I'll be sure to return! read more

Super chill vibes. Great outdoor space. Food looked like it would cure a hangover Cash only.

This no frills dive bar in Red Hook is a great spot to grab a cold pint of beer and good eats. The interior is teeny, but walk through the bar to the outdoor patio out back to sit and chill. My husband and I enjoyed their brussel sprouts (they were amazing), brisket, burger, and Frito pie. We will definitely be back! read more

Dive bar/local pub, definitely pleasantly surprised by this place. My friends and I came here last weekend after shopping and browsing at Red Hook Open Studios nearby. We grabbed a drink and a small bite at this place. Prices are reasonable. Order at the bar. James was friendly and introduced himself when you come up to order. My friends enjoyed the Irish Stew and I had my hands full with the large basket of sweet potato fries they gave me. Full bar. Decent selection. read more

Great neighborhood dive bar. Very solid burgers and pulled pork sandwich. Outdoor area in the nice weather.

PBR and a shot of Evan Williams: $4. Two delicious pulled pork sandwiches: $5. That means for $10 (including a shitty tip), you can gorge yourself on the messiest, most delicious pork around, AND start yourself down the long road to Drunkenness. Or quickly cross the city limits of Drunkenness. Or set up permanent residence, befriend the townsfolk and eventually become the mayor of Drunkenness. It all depends on what part of your night finds you here. The fact that there's Batman pinball, Buck Hunter and an enormous yard in the back with picnic tables is just gravy. Like a beautiful woman who doesn't find you repulsive, and also happens to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're.' It's a good thing this bar is in Red Hook, or my life would be in danger. read more

Been here a few times. And it never disappoints me when I'm stop by for some drinks and food! It's happy hour here before 7 pm and it's pretty much old school place and bar and cheap drinks specials too like a bud bottle and Overholt whisky is about $8. I have had there cheeseburger w/ onions rings and I've also I have there dirty dog , that's bacon wrapped hotdog in a bun. I got sweet potato fries w/ the side the dish ... the backyard here is pretty Big . The kitchen is near the bathrooms and the menu is definitely delicious up and down . They have pull pork sliders here too . The bartenders here are cool is so is the cook is a Yankee fan like me. The have a 2 TVs too , also they food menu is pretty simple so mostly what your order is made to order. The tables like old school too . It's a cash bar but there is a ATM inside also . It's small inside . It's near by Red hook lobster pound . read more

Just because a bar is grungy looking doesn't make it a dive. Dives are cheap, this place has $11 cocktails and $8 drafts. It's trying so hard to look like a dive! Just because the tables in the backyard are literally falling apart under you doesn't change the corny overpriced Edison bulbs or the prices. Literally the worst of both worlds. Only upside is the onion rings, honestly read more

This place looks pretty rockin' and there's ample seating. It's perfect for cheap, quick eats and drinks while you're in Red Hook. They don't take cards and that is not obvious, so keep that in mind. We came with a large group and it was somewhat of a headache to figure out the bill. I got the chili and it was pretty decent. It reminded me of ski resort chili: not great, but not bad either. The cheese was some kinda nacho cheese (but it worked) and the jalapeños were the perfect addition. The other people with me got burgers and pulled pork sandwiches. They had rave reviews about both. I'll probably never come here again, but that's only because I'm never in Red Hook. read more

While roaming around the city we wanted to grab a quick bite before leaving New York to our hometown in LA. I'm always up to trying new places no matter where I'm at, since I've been traveling quite often for work these past few months it's been amazing to the places I have found. I came across this place only because a BBQ joint I had yelped and mistakenly not seen it was closed on a Monday. Took a look at pictures and what kind of food they had and definitely wanted to give it a try. As soon as we got there I had to check the place out, it was very divey, a nice place to have drinks and have food with friends. As I saw the menu I knew I wanted to get their chicken sliders. I was with my coworkers and they also were ecstatic to try it out. All together we got, pulled pork sliders, chili cheese fries, their jerk chicken, sweet potato fries. Quite a lot of food but man, it was delicious! Of course we got our own beer selection which was Amazing!! Definitely recommend this place if you're ever in Brooklyn, in a little city called red hook. read more

Simply fantastic bar in every way. Our bartender Kimmy was friendly & super efficient even though she was serving the whole place by herself. The other customers were also friendly - it's a very welcoming neighborhood vibe. The Frito pie was interesting but the onion rings are probably the best I've had anywhere in a long time. The Chipotle dipping sauce they came with was perfect. I didn't order the steak special but it was huge & looked great with a big amount of mashed potatoes on the side. Next time we'll have to check out the burgers which also looked great. They have a great beer selection and I really appreciated the $6 beer and shot deal because it's becoming harder to find post covid. We will deffffffinitely be back. read more

Judging by the vast number of five-star reviews, this joint doesn't really need one more. There's not much I can add to what's already been said. I agree with all the other posters' plaudits. I'll just add that that woman who was working the day I ate there last week was a model of poise, warmth, courtesy, and professionalism. I wish I'd gotten her name. It's even more noteworthy that she was as on top of everything as she was ...given that she was host, screening nurse, server, bartender, busser, and cashier all in one! It's down to people like her that would make me go out of my way to return to the Brooklyn Ice House. 8-) read more

Don't let the front of this place cloud your judgement. Brooklyn Ice House is a super divey bar with an awesome backyard. This place is very Brooklyn -- with lights and plants all over the place. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches, bacon hot dogs, fries, and lots of burgers. The prices are cheap - two pulled pork sandwiches are $7, and they're not slider-sized. The burgers were $11. All side dishes were about $5. All in all, it's a great place to drink and eat for cheap with decent ambiance. The food isn't going to be great quality - the burgers will be very overdone and the pulled pork is fine, but for the price it's great. read more

Why am I ancient but I still love dive bars? Because for $6 for a shot and a beer you can get messssed up before heading to brunch in the neighborhood. This place is convenient walking distance from the South Brooklyn Ferry when getting off at the Red Hook stop. The bartenders are cool and the patrons are too. Nice BIG TV for watching your sports. We had a fun chat with the chef and as a Brooklyn native he knows some great sounding dishes. Didn't try anything, but we will be back for our pork chops. Stop in if you're anywhere near here. read more

Great dive bar with delicious bar food -- I would recommend, pricing is fantastic. Well done!

Cheap bar food, good music, and fairly priced beers make Brooklyn Ice House a solid bar. The bartender was pretty quick despite the bar being completely filled. There were some interesting foreign options though I would have liked to see some domestic crafts on tap. Their pulled pork sandwich fills you right up and is only $4. Note that Brooklyn ice house only accepts cash. read more
