    I moved to Crown Heights in December so was on the lookout for a new local bar. And I'm so glad I found Covenhoven. First the beers are great and at a good price. Second all of the staff are wonderful. Very welcoming and fun to interact with. Third they have a GREAT backyard that is chill and a lot of fun. And fourth - they are incredibly kid friendly and are happy to put up with my rambunctious four year old from time to time. :) And finally - it's actually a great place to work from during the week between 2-5. WiFi is strong and nothing wrong with having a pint while getting some work done!

    First Impressions: super cozy and fun little spot to meet up friends. They have food to order options as well as a pantry/refrigerator where you can buy all the items needed for a decent charcuterie board to enjoy at your table. Tons of beer on tap, I don't know Judy about beers but I know about a good time with friends and I liked it here The Noms: we bought bread, cheeses, and pâté to share. I never met a charcuterie board I didn't love and this wasn't an exception. We also ordered the pretzel (good but too much salt... I shook some off and it was perfect)... the fig jam and arugula grilled cheese was fuckin amazing. Excuse the cursing but it was damn good. I could eat two more if I wasn't so stuffed! In Conclusion: 10/10 would recommend this spot. I live on the UWS and rarely make it too Brooklyn for any reason (except one of my close friends moved here) but I would definitely make the trek BK to meet her up and have a grilled cheese here

    I always love the huge variety in beer selection at Covenhoven and this evening was no different. Sours, ciders, and meads you likely won't find many other places. Their havarti, fig jam, and arugula grilled cheese is an absolute favorite every time. Super cozy and warm with a wood stove in the winter. The backyard is delightful on warmer nights and there's a small selection of games. Was a favorite when I lived here and I always make a point to come back when I visit. Everyone who works here is a delight as well.

    Cute little spot for drinks - loved the ambiance of the place and the wide selection of craft beers and small snacks available to purchase. One thing I noticed was the upsell of the prices to drink a can of beer from the fridge at the place - around $3-4 more just to have a glass. Loved the fridge with great single portion sizes of cheeses and a half baguette!

    Loved this little beer bar in Brooklyn. They have a nice selection of beers. Their food is also tasty, too! Their backyard patio is really nice. It has quite a bit of space. Everything was clean. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Great neighborhood spot to try and buy new beers. They have beers on tap and also a refrigerator full of a large variety of beers. You can buy the beer from the fridge and drink it there as well. The prices are great! It is cheaper than normal bars, especially if you buy beers from the fridge and drink there. The draft beers range from $6-$9 and the refrigerator beers range from $5-$9. They also have grilled cheeses, cheese plates and other small eats. We came around the holiday times and it was decorated in a festive way with Christmas trees, lights and pine cones. It is a great place for a date or to get together with friends. There's also an outdoor space that would be lovely in the summer. Their service is great as the bartender was very patient with recommending beers to us.

    It's super cozy when it's cold out and when it's not, their backyard is the perfect brooklyny place to hang out.

    Overall rating: 4.8…read more Super cute spot near the Brooklyn museum. I already knew it was going to be a great place just by the other reviews, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be snooty or anything. Super chill, but very popular! My friend and I got lucky and got seats at the bar, but I could totally come here solo which is why I like it a lot! Beer is crafted and good. It's a tad bit bright but looks like people come to work, read a book or hang. The staff was really nice and I like how simple the menu is. I don't think I'd eat any snacks here, but I can try it out when I come back. Such a good find & highly reco!

    One star review for hospitality. It's nearly 90 degree weather and I ended up taking a seat at one…read moreof their outside tables to eat lunch in the shade. Within 5 minutes, one of the employees comes outside to ask if I want to buy a drink. However, I'm almost finished with my lunch and answer no thanks, only for the employee to say in a huff, "Well, next time you should buy something if you want to use our seating." While I understand that as your business, you have the right to do this, it really just comes off as rude and condescending, turning what would've been a nonexistent interaction into a negative one that has completely soured my attitude toward this establishment. Considering that this establishment had roughly a dozen tables and 24 seats with only 4 seats or so occupied when I was around and I wasn't interfering with business on a slow afternoon, there shouldn't have been a problem with simply letting bygones be bygones. If this is what New Yorkers consider hospitality and acceptable behavior, no wonder people from most other states consider the population to be rude.
