I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so egregious 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. read more

Got to check this place out because my friends were hosting an event here and it ended up being such a fun spot. I'm not the biggest fan of beer but they had a good selection of non alcoholic options which were surprisingly yummy! Great location as well, right in the heart of dumbo. read more

I've been here a few times now and have loved it every time! They have some outdoor seating. The seating inside is composed of a few tables, some larger booths and seats at the bar. You can bring in outside food if you want or they have some bags of chips for sale too. I love that they have such a variety of beers/ciders/etc and that they offer them is smaller sizes so you can try lots of them. I can't wait to visit again! read more

After walking around for a bit we decided to sit down and enjoy a drink and picked Evil Twin Brewing as our spot to sit. The beers were good! They offer a huge selection of beers, lots of sour beers if you are into them, plus a few lagers and IPAs. It was a Monday and pretty empty when we stopped, so it didn't take long to get beers. I would stop by again if in the area. read more

Spacious brewery with a fun vibe and good beer. Their menu on the wall is designed like a stock exchange but doesn't actually work like one (I've seen bars where drink prices change based on popularity). Def a lot of sours and IPAs in the mix but enough options for everyone. You can also order food from a few different spots of bring your own. Overall a fun spot and ofc dog-friendly. read more

Really nice place to relax and have a beer after walking around Brooklyn Bridge park. The place is super spacious with a lot of seating and a very small bar bathroom. Their beer selection is super exotic and rotates so you can come back and try something new each time. I found my favorite sour beer here, hopefully they will still have it when I come back next time. read more

Wow. Just, wow. My husband is the beer guy ; I like some but not all styles of beer. My husband had billed Evil Twin as "one of the best breweries in WORLD". High praise and high expectations. They lived up to it. While the Brooklyn taproom is pretty simple. They deliver on an array of outstanding beers. I tried the "Even More Blabærry Pancake" online it. Fruity, not too sweet for me. Then I deleved into the sours: Royal Treatment, Make it Fruity Punch, and Paul Grenier's Legendary Sangria. Each small pour was something I'd come back for again and again. My whole group loved this place. Service was great. The beertender let me try a splash before committing, which I appreciate. Small pours are available so you can try more beer. If you're in Brooklyn vicinity and appreciate craft beer, Evil Twin is a must visit. read more

Got the non beer option they had on tap and it was tasty. A little bit pricey. The place has a clean aesthetic and not the "divey" beer. Service was great. Wish they had better snacks. read more

One of the things I love doing the most when we're on vacation is experiencing new breweries. That is one thing we have noticed in New York is lacking so we were excited when we heard that there was a brewery taphouse located in Brooklyn. We arrived on a Thursday around 2 PM and it was fairly steady, but it definitely started to empty out quickly. My husband got the car porter (Baltic Porter) and said it good. I got a flight - comes with 5 - and was able to try a few of their dark beer (even more candy canes (peppermint and white chocolate), what even is gingerbread brown ale anyway (imperial brown ale)) and some of their sours - which were delicious! My favorite was the ET stay home 4 - frosty winter edition. Brewed with raspberry, blackberry, marshmallow, and raspberry soft serve. It was delicious!! read more

While in DUMBO area, we decided to come by this brewery for a drink. We also had our pup with us, so love that they're dog-friendly. Since it was a Monday, it was a pretty quiet night. We each had a 9oz pour ($7-9). The beers have some unique names here though, but pricey for what you get. The decor could be a bit more elevated here too as it just feels like a big room. read more

Place was packed on Dumbo Drop Day but we got a seat and enjoyed a tasty TIPA. A worthwhile stop as few brewery option in that area.

Came here for a quick sec just to grab a drink with my cousins. I didn't know this place existed. It's not exactly something that popped out at me, but going in there it was huge. They had many beers on tap that you could try and I was so with it. TBH we ended up getting tiny samples, but I wanna come back and have a real brewery experience. read more

My new favorite brewery! I'm not a big beer-drinker, but I have lots of friends that are, so I appreciated that they had a selection of beers that were really unique and more sweet than usual, making them super easy to drink. They also have a few frozen cocktails available (the wine-based one I ordered was fantastic), which is also very fun. Overall, they'll have something for everyone -- definitely come by! read more

Great beers, good vibes. Garnett the bartender is a homie and had great recommendations

Beer is great, the anniversary double IPA is a lot cleaner and brighter than any hazy IPA has a right to be. Fun spot, would come back

Such an awesome spot! My brother was in town visiting from LA and wanted to check this brewery since his friend recommended it and we were in Brooklyn. I'm not much of a beer drinker, the bartender recommended the luxurious volume 15 and to my surprise it was amazing. Best beer I've had. My brother ordered the dumb fruit and my other half had the allegory. They also enjoyed their beer and we got a second round. My brother also took some cans to-go to bring back to his friend in LA. Definitely would come back again next time I'm in Brooklyn. read more

Wanted to try this place after getting their beers from our out of town bar, and it didn't disappoint!! This place was PACKED, so be prepared to either stand and wait for a table/place to sit.

Music and friendly chatter made this place feel like a big get together with friends. read more

I'm not even a huge beer drinker, but I LOVE Evil Twin. This is such a fun place to bring friends or family from out of town, and it truly has something on the menu for everyone. I believe that there probably isn't one bad drink on this menu - everything is expertly crafted and I love that you can try just 5oz pours of anything. From the extremely hoppy triple IPA to the boozy, dark stouts - all of the drinks are surprisingly well balanced! A must visit! read more

I love their beer. And they've had a good selection of goses and IPAs. The beertenders are usually patient and understanding as I sample the different beers. If you're in the area this is a great place. The vibe is pretty chill. Dogs are welcomed. Overall I love this place and there's lots of good food very close by. Overall my only negative is that I've had mixed experiences with the wait staff. Sometimes they've been great and other times I felt that they didn't care at all about their job or the place itself. I wish I could give 5 stars but the spotty service brings it down to a 4. (I would give it a 4.5 if I could do so.) read more

Great local brewery love that they allow dogs and when they don't have their restaurant option, you can bring in food from local restaurants. Hit or miss on the friendliness of service, but overall a great neighborhood vibe read more

We tried so many beers can't even name them all! My fav would be #7 (fructus danica 1), not crazy sweet. The other sweet beers were super sweet. I also tried the chocolate strawberry beer and it was very interesting, I def taste the strawberry. Mondays is happy hour all day with $6 lagers. The inside was very spacious. You can get flights for $5 for 5 oz for certain beers. read more

I came here with a friend on a Tuesday night. It wasn't super busy. I really liked the vibe of the tap room; the space was really warm (both in tone and temperature-wise, I don't think they had the A/C on). I had one of the sours and it was almost like drinking a smoothie. read more

Big fan of Evil Twin beer so was excited to try out their other taproom in Dumbo. I'm partial to IPAs so enjoyed the IPA options, of which there are many. I had never had a QIPA before, so that was great. The space can be a bit overwhelming as when we went it was super busy. The bartenders were all really attentive and super nice, however, so the crowd didn't make such a difference. Would definitely come back to try the other IPAs! The only downfall of the space is the bathroom. There are two bathrooms for the entire place and there was consistently a pretty substantial line for this. read more

I would say evil twin is my favorite brewery of all time. I am a HUGE fan of sours, and there's no shortage here! We tried about 9 in total - I don't remember the name, but my favorite was #2 (it was a deep red berry-forward sour) and another incredible one was the cookies and cream stout. Looking forward to returning when they rotate their menu! read more

Love this spot!! I came in for one bc I needed to rest my feet. The bartender recommended the "Make It Hopped" and let me sample it first. It tasted great so I ordered a 16oz glass. This place has a great vibe. It had a lot of customers in the middle of a saturday afternoon but we were able to get the last 2 bar seats. Everyone was friendly and the bar service was fast. I wanted to stay for more than one but I had places to be. Will def be back when I'm in the area. read more

Don't remember what I got here but tried just about everything if that says anything! Some of the beers are very bitter, others taste like literal juice. I remember the hells bock being yummy. I didn't love the "I instantly get annoyed by any hybrid food combination" it was a triple IPA. I did love the ryste ryste milkshake ipa. The et stay home 19 tasted like orange juice if I remember correctly and the make it fruity chocolate dipped strawberry was more fruity than chocolatey at all. Would 100% come back. Really good vibes, open and bright and awesome !! read more

Evil Twin Brewing - Dumbo Taproom - Beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Most of the Evil Twin cans we get out west are smoothies which aren't my favorite style of beer, but I was still really excited to check out one of their taprooms. We arrived around 2PM on a Saturday afternoon and this place was packed. It took a little work to break through the crowd and order at the bar, but we were able to get beers in our hands within 5 minutes of entering. We both got flights of a variety of tasters as we wanted to try a handful of their styles. The beers ranged from average to good for us and although enjoyable, definitely weren't the best we've had in New York. We may have enjoyed our drinks a bit more if we were able to sit, but the place was so crowded we ended up awkwardly standing with our slippery beer glasses on the provided metal trays which made for a less than optimal drinking experience. It's a nice taproom and probably a bit more enjoyable during non-peak hours but we still had a nice time. It's NYC so cramped spaces are to be expected and this is actually a decent-sized taproom, but there isn't a huge reason for us to want to come back to this one any time soon. read more

Evil Twin Brewing - Dumbo Taproom - Breweries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Evil Twin Brewing NYC is a craft brewery that opened in Queens, New York in 2019. It was founded by Danish brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø. Evil Twin Brewing was initially founded as a global beer brand and gypsy brewery operation in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2010. A former schoolteacher, Jeppe became an avid craft beer aficionado in 1997 and by 2005 he had opened his bottle shop Ølbutikken. His reputation (and that of his work) soon grew and by 2010 he decided to open his own brewery. Jeppe chose the name "Evil Twin" as a reference to himself being the "evil twin" brother of Mikkeller Brewery founder Mikkel Borg Bjergsø. By 2012, Jeppe and his family had relocated to Brooklyn, New York and Evil Twin set up their headquarters there. Although there wasn't a physical brewery, Jeppe would enlist the help of 10 established production breweries (such as Two Roads Brewing Company (Stratford, CT), Westbrook Brewing Company (Mt Pleasant, SC) and Twelve Percent Beer Project (North Haven, CT) to brew and distribute his beer on a larger scale. For a number of years, Jeppe was also the co-owner of the popular Brooklyn craft beer bar Tørst: one of the first bars to carry Evil Twin. The popularity of the gypsy brewery soon took off on a global scale. Jeppe eventually decided to open a physical brewing space in the Ridgewood section of Queens. The brewery opened in January 2019 and the adjoining taproom (designed to resemble a greenhouse) opened the following October. Although the global gypsy brewery operation still continues, the Ridgewood operation exclusively produces small one-off batches like any other small local brewery. A secondary taproom opened in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood in June 2021. I visited Evil Twin's DUMBO Taproom this past summer while I was cycling around NYC. I was trying out a number of Brooklyn breweries and pizzerias and this was my second stop of the day. They are easily one of my Top 10 favorite breweries and have been since I had a draught pour of "Even More Jesus" (Imperial Stout) at a craft beer bar in 2013. I also worked as a barback at Two Roads Brewing from 2014-15, and Jeppe would frequently stop by to brew beer on their brew system. The DUMBO taproom was quite nice. It's set up differently from the Ridgewood location (which I visited a month earlier) and I like how both taprooms have their own unique charm. I also really liked the DUMBO neighborhood in general. I ordered a flight of four samples including "Even More Hydra" (Smoothie Sour - collaboration with Mortalis Brewing), "The Nomadic Approach To Reinventing The Wheel" (Double IPA - collaboration with Root + Branch Brewing), "OMG How Funny Is This. Manhattan Has A Street Named After Our Hometown Houston" (Triple IPA), and "King Marlon" (Quadruple IPA). Not surprising to me, every beer was fantastic! I had a blast at Evil Twin's DUMBO taproom and I look forward to returning! read more

After having a quick bite, we decided to find a brewery. Evil Twin is a spacious spot. Music volume is perfect... you can enjoy the tuned AND also have a good conversation.

I love Evil Twin because they always have many sours, including smoothie style sours on tap. And you can get a flight which is key because it's hard for me to drink several of these - the beers are really intense in flavor and heavy so I usually get a flight and then 1 regular sized beer. If you don't like sours, they have like 20 or so taps with all sorts of options as well as frozen cocktails and seltzers. The bartenders are always super attentive and kind. This location is fun- its all indoors (no patio seating) which is not surprising given the location. Not a bad thing, just a different vibe from the original location in Ridgewood and other breweries. It can get very crowded, loud, and there seems to always be a long line for the bathroom (2 gender neutral bathrooms) I find myself here pretty much every time I'm in DUMBO! read more

The ticker tap board is guaranteed to capture your attention upon first walking into this sizeable tap room. You'll count 20 taps actively flowing -- amazing right? Except they were out of most offerings when inquired! Hard to believe that they couldn't just easily update the digital ticker board, but I digress. You'll encounter plenty of smoothie style sours here as well as their hard seltzers. I don't think either are beer but, once again, I fall into the habit of digression. Happy to see some DDH/ TDH IPA's, however, they do lean on the sweeter side. Dare I say they have a slick enough mouth feel to remind me of a, dare I say, a smoothie!? Bad habits aside, the IPA's were sweet but layered with spiced floral notes. Splendid nose as well. As mentioned, the space is large, so much so that they are able to house a small cafe serving coffee on the side. Said cafe was sadly closed during our visit which was a shame as I have heard positive feedback about their coffee. Evil Twin is one of those OG breweries which has grown in size and has certainly changed with the times. Being in the hip DUMBO area, the brewery certainly blends in to its scenery well. read more

I was in Brooklyn for the day and wanted to check out a brewery or two. There are many in the area but this one is close to the base of the bridge. When I looked online this brewery had a great selection and looked super earthy and cute with all the the plants. I had to take off a star because most of their plants were dying or already dead. The beer board also reminded me of the stock market which didn't fit in with the vibe of the place. Aside from all the dead plants the beer was awesome. They even had cool merchandise and hats. They had cocktails, frozen beer, and several drafts available in 3 different size pours. There were a ton of wheat beers available and the staff was really cool. Defenitly a place to check out! read more

It's a pretty bare bone brewery but I like it cause it's just that. It's also a dog-friendly brewery which was great since I was able to bring my puppy after a walk on the brooklyn bridge. There's a few picnic tables outside but we sat inside and shared a flight. Our favorite was the Italian Pilsner which we bought a 4-pack of. Love how unique the beer options are. read more
