"Strong Rope Brewery in Red Hook is a family-run waterfront farm brewery offering hand-crafted ales…read moreand lagers made exclusively with 100% New York State ingredients. It features a spacious indoor taproom and an outdoor patio with stunning sunset views over New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty." "Focuses on malt- and hop-forward New York farm-to-glass ales, pilsners, and seasonal lagers.Serves an all-local drink menu that includes New York State wines, ciders, and spirits alongside beer.Offers rotating local beverage options like beer flight samplers and seasonal slushies" How did I come to this place? Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, I tapped my ruby red Crocs and landed in the Red Hook waterfront on a HHH day. NY Mag offered a free 7 ounce beer of my choice. I was also going to order food. However, Truman explained that " on weekends the pop up food markets are here or patrons bring food to picnic". He suggested Red Hook Kitchenette to purchase sandwiches and bring it back and dine here. ( which I did, see separate review for RHK). I asked for suggestions on an IPA that is citrusy and he suggested the Hazy IPA Wolf in the Garden. WITG has hints of tropical fruit, stone fruit and orange peels. An IPA Fawn approved. They serve beer, cider, wine and spirits. The interior is rustic with wood tables, soft lighting and just a chill beer. The outside picnic tables face the waterfront and Lady Liberty, what a view! Sipping my beer in the sweet sunshine. I am falling in love with NY crafted beer and IPA. Strong Rope will become a Fawn fave fast. Many thanks to Truman who is friendly, has extensive beer knowledge and made a great lunch suggestion. Cheers!

Wow I think I found my favorite malt beer at this brewery! It's called Decapitator. Please always…read morekeep it on your lineup! Strong. You only need 1-2 to feel relaxed. :) The beer prices are great too. The vibe here is great, with a lot of seating options and card + board games to keep you occupied. Dog friendly as well! I was able to get a bowl of water for my little one. Nice views of the water too if you prefer to sit outside. I like how it is bring your own food. I saw a small group having a little birthday party and they had pizza and a cake that they brought. I went to the Food Bazaar grocery a block or two away and got a sandwich from their deli to bring to the brewery. Next door is a cidery, I think a different owner. Outrageously expensive ($17 for a small glass of cider? lol). Stick to strong rope! They do have a cider or two on their menu normally. 2 minutes away is Steve's Key Lime Pie - recommend if you like frozen key lime pies on a stick dipped in chocolate ;)

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.

They have a mezzanine good for parties and large groups About ten beers on draft. I had the Svelte No 9 and the Kolsch. Svelte is a super light style. Little dry and very crispy. Kolsch was mildly bready and subtly hoppy. Great execution. I'm eager to return to try the Helles and their other styles. Menu is very approachable. About 3 or 4 items in each section. I opted for the brat dog. They make all their brats in house. A mild flavored sausage. Casing had a snappy break to it. Loaded with red cabbage, perfectly cut chives, and mustard on a brioche bun. I loved the potato chips it was served. Ultra crispy and thin yet they managed to hold their structure. Generously fried and salted. Keep your kids away from these Staff was friendly and helpful.

Industry City is full of amazing places, but Wormwood is hands down my favorite bar. They're also super family friendly and never give us an issue when we're with the kids. Love this spot!

They also have a couple of snacks (pictured) available but I'd recommend eating at one of the great surrounding restaurants beforehand if you're looking for something substantial. All of the bartenders I interacted with were great and gave me lots of helpful info re: events. Thursday is Trivia Night + the last Friday of every month is Comedy night + 1st Friday of every month is kinda like a talent show vibe of people performing on stage (memory was getting a bit hazy at this point...) Last but certainly not least, they *usually* have an Inciardi machine on the floor -- I love any establishment a bit more when they support her art! You can get a mini BK-Brewery themed art print in exchange for $1 through a slot-vending style machine. Not sure how long it'll be there for but it's such a fun addition to an already entertaining space.
