    Soup of the Day (Potato Leak)
    Adam M.

    I've been to Brooklyn Public House quite a few times and I've never been displeased. The service is always solid, the food is always tasty and correct, and overall it's a great spot. It's a cozy little spot and yet still pretty spacious. The menu is a mix of bar and pub food with daily specials. I highly recommend if you're in the Forte Greene area!

    Cozy Bar with good food and drink

    The Brooklyn Public House is this dark, lovely Pub / Bar / Restaurant serving locals very good food, drink and sports. The bar was packed this Sunday morning as Barcelona was playing Madrid in a soccer match and everyone was rooting for their team. The diversity of this pub's clientele was extreme. This made "people watching" fun and exciting. As for the food: My son got their breakfast burrito which he woofed down after a six mile run. I got their Chicken Club sandwich coming with a salad. Not only was the atmosphere contagious, my sandwich was very good. I love going to neighborhood spots like this. Not only is it a meeting place for fellow Brooklynites, but it's also a great spot for a libation and meal. I had a ton of fun here!

    Curry fries

    Great environment. Loud and friendly. Pub food. But good pub food. Shepard pie is good. Have had a few times. This week got the French onion soup. Very warm and yummy. Stayed for more drinks so got the curry fries. Fiend gets the curry chicken almost every time so she loves that. Adding that the Shepard pie is good too

    Brooklyn Public House - Fort Greene, BK When you see the green, white, and orange flying out front, you're not at a burger joint. You're in the hands of a proper Irish pub. This is not where you chase down American bar food and hope for the best. It's where you trust the classics and get rewarded. I came for the bangers and mash and walked away convinced I'd made one of the best dining decisions in Brooklyn this month. The sausages are clearly sourced from Myers of Keswick, one of Manhattan's last true English-imported butchers. If you know, you know. That unmistakable snap, the rich but balanced seasoning, the texture... it's the real deal. No filler. No shortcuts. Just quality. The mashed potatoes? Creamy and perfectly portioned, not too milky, not overly whipped, just a rustic, comforting base. The gravy brings it all together, light and elegant, not heavy or overpowering, allowing the flavors to meld in harmony. It's the kind of plate where every bite is better than the last because together, these ingredients don't just work, they elevate. And look, I saw the mixed reviews about burgers and fries. But let me be clear: I didn't come for that. I came for what they do best. When a pub like this offers a national dish done this well, you skip the usual suspects and trust the flag. The hot toddy was no slouch either, bright, warm, citrusy, with just enough kick. I ordered it with double whiskey, and my server playfully warned it might be too strong for me. It wasn't. It was absolutely fine. I don't know if that's just my whiskey tolerance talking, or if people these days are just a little soft. Either way, no regrets. Now let me talk about Celine, my server and probably yours too, if you're lucky. Fast, kind, attentive without hovering. She got water for my dogs before I even asked, checked in without pressure, and made me feel like I was on someone's back patio, not a bustling Brooklyn sidewalk. And yes, dog-friendly. Genuinely so. The staff love dogs, and the dogs love being here. That counts. (And if you need proof of that butcher-quality sausage? Scroll through -- I posted the cross-section. It's beautiful.) What to order: Bangers & Mash Drink pairing: Hot Toddy (go for the double) Dog-Friendly Rating: 11/10 Star of the show: Flavor synergy. Each part's great -- but together? Transcendent. Bottom line: This is a five-star pub experience. Skip the noise. Order the soul. I already know what I'm having when I come back and I won't need the menu to do it.

    Classic bar with great drinks and kind service. Sat outside w friends on a cooler summer night and had such a nice time. I was really pleasantly surprised by how much i liked their cocktail - i got a cucumber gimlet (?), very nice and refreshing.

    Fish & Chips
    Helen S.

    Stopped here for lunch during Christmas and New Year's. It was really busy but we were able to find 2 seats at the bar. There was only one member of staff working but she did a great job of serving so many people. We ordered the fish and chips, chicken club and a side of curry sauce. The food was delivered pretty quickly and everything tasted good. The curry sauce was slightly sweeter/fruitier than we are used to but it wasn't a bad version of UK curry sauce. There were a couple of football (soccer) games on and the bar was really buzzing on a Monday afternoon. A really fun spot to watch some sport and have some good pub food. We live locally and will definitely visit again.

    Cheeseburger, Fish & Chips
    Attosa C.

    5/5 if we are judging on a pub-style vibe all around. Prompt service, friendly vibe, good food, all at a great price. We ordered a cheeseburger with salad and fish n chips. Both dishes were delicious. Fish was brought out with malt vinegar. They know how to please my British heart! They have happy hour menus starting round 3pm. Nice to sit outside and people watch. Inside is dark yet cheery. Will return!

    I really enjoyed the mussels and delicious fries. I'm particularly fussy about fries and these were perfect! I usually get bored of them after 2 or 3. And they had their own dipping sauce. The mussels also came with bread. Margarita was good too. Sat at my own at the bar. Very comfortable.

    Shepherds Pie
    Kiley K.

    This place is just fine. The service is ok, the food is served hot but is a bit bland. Nothing really great but nothing bad.

    Steak Salad (with Arugula)
    Jessica C.

    Brooklyn Public House is a terrific neighborhood pub. I love popping in here to get a quick drink or ordering food to go. Sometimes I'd even work from here early in the day if it's rainy out and my favorite cafe seats are taken. My favorite dishes are their salads. You can add a protein to it and the portions are very hearty :). Honorable mention to their steak-cut fries, chef's kiss. I like most of their cocktails but their summertime frozen Pink Flamingo and the Side Hustle have my heart. No matter the bartender, I've never had a bad glass of either drink. I love having Brooklyn Public House as a local food option and happily recommend them whenever people are in the mood for great pub food and drinks.

    Spot near the window to soak up the sun
    TJ J.

    Decided to go here for after church brunch because the spot across the street wasn't "brunchin" the way brunch should on a Sunday! Arrived just in time to grab a table by the window and order before brunch ended in 15 minutes. Happy to have grabbed a spot by the window because this spot looked pretty dark, especially in the back. It definitely is giving a bar that serves food... Speaking of the food; French toast with the yogurt and strawberries was EVERYTHING! The egg dishes were meh, my omelette tasted just ok, seemed like they use powdered egg and the side salad had big chunks of the part that should have been thrown away and the cucumber had peels still on some of them. Overall, service was good and so was the hot coffee. Def want to try the lunch/dinner menu as this place has potential.

    They have an A again!
    Lisette T.

    They have an A rating again! We come here alot and are glad to be confidently eating their food again. Everything is so delicious (love their corned beef hash on the brunch) with a great bottomless brunch ($22 plus an entree, all of which are $10-19) and weekday HH 3-7pm. They also have late night food deals from 11pm to 12/1am depending on the day. We also love coming here for soccer games. They'll open early for special games or tournament, like today they opened at 9am instead of 10am for the Eurocup. Quick note that even if they open early, kitchen still opens at the normal 10am.

    As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks
