Bar with a lovely whiskey selection
Farrah B.

My friends love hanging here, and I decided to come by one night for trivia. It has a Brooklyn version of Cheers, with many regulars quipping up with inside jokes in unison. As comical as it was to watch, the first 15 minutes in the space took me back to the reviews of cold service. I was mostly ignored until my presence was verified by some regulars buying me rounds and authentic conversations. It seems like a cool whiskey club with drinks and a few items to nosh. Maybe a lot of folks come in for the bathroom or something. Go figure. Now. The rest of the experience was great. An amazing selection of whiskey, as well as other spirits ordinarily, is not in this area. The pizzas are pretty decent as well. I had the peppers and onion variety, and it was tasty. I'm sure I'll return as there are a few theme nights and great specials.

Cozy bar near the train station. The service was excellent, and the bathrooms are as clean as one would expect in a great bar. Sports fans will appreciate the focus on baseball and basketball here.

Love the feel of this place when you walk in. I love a bar that has that real bar feeling. The wooden bar with wooden stool to match. Small but not stuffy small. I came in to watch the playoff game, great place to watch sports. I know places bigger than this with barely enough tvs. Fulton Ale House has a lot of tvs and big. I found myself in Brooklyn because I had a friend in town that was staying close by this spot. So we randomly picked it out and it turned out to be a great spot. The beer wow the list would make any beer lover blush. I tried a new IPA and all I remember is the first part of the name -Sci-Fi. This is a great balanced IPA ABV 7% which is perfect. All in all so happy I stumbled upon this place, even though it's 45 mins I will be back! Several times! Thanks Mike!

Pizza

First of All, the ambiance is great. The low lights and classic wood furnishings give the place a warm feel. There is also many TVs if you like sports and want to watch the Knicks game. ..lol ! It's not that big of a place, so come early. Besides that, the prices are decent and the customer service was great. I didn't ask for a menu but I guess they have limited options. The pizza tasted good, it wasn't overpowering. ENDLESS OPTIONS OF BEER AND DRINKS :-) Other than that, the music selection was pretty chill... quite diverse in a indie - pop- 70s funk kinda way. Nothing too millennial. Besides, the speakers blaring, you can hear your guest across the table. Anyways, it's a gem. Chill spots like this, on this side of Brooklyn, is rare. So, I hope this bar is here to stay.

Came here for drinks and links on a Tuesday night after a long day of work. The bar wasn't crowded. I was able to enjoy beer at happy hour prices. This bar is remarkable chill, ideal for catching up with friends and going on a date. There are also several games for you to play as you sip slow. There's chess, darts, and other board games. The bartender was also friendly and attentive. Definitely a great sports bar and an Amazing addition to Bed Stuy.

This was one of the stops on our Bedstuy walking tour. It was a nice size bar with seating in the back. I was there on a Saturday and had a refreshing and tart gimlet. The bartender was super friendly and attentive. It's a chill vibe. They have TV's so you can watch sports. I focused on the drink menu but I thing they also serve food. If you're in the area; stop in, sit down, have a drink and relax.

I don't get what's up with the negative comments. Idk if its the neighborhood but its weirdly hard to find a decent bar and this is probably one of my favorites that isn't too far from where I live. Great playlist, and awesome beer selection. It has everything a bar should be and there's nothing wrong with that. I was a little fairly surprised when I came in last night for a drink and there was a drag queen show. Loved it, great vibess and lots of love

Unsafe. Unkind. Uninviting. Ole' Saint Nic looking barkeep put on his micro aggressing body of armor last night.. The story: we met at this locations with a handful of ladies to celebrate a birthday. The birthday girl isn't a big drinker so our requests were basic. Bottled beer, white, cocktails listed on the menu. The bar had about 5 other patrons present, but for some reason it took Santa forever to make our drinks, and then the alcohol served was made in a way that made the drinks undrinkable. No ice really for chilled beverages. No mixes for the mixed beverages. I literately could not drink what was ordered. I felt like I was served ever clear. This place is also located doors down from a wonderful French Fry spot (Spuds) from which we ordered and brought into the bar. After serving our drinks and closing our tabs, the bartender tells us no outside food... while we are eating and after we've set up at a full table. His explanation was that they serve food.. meanwhile.. there were no food menus in sight and no kitchen.. and no offerings of such. After telling the keep we'd finish our drinks at leave, he somehow had so much time to stand at the end of the bar where we were, and stare us down. I don't think he served anyone for a full 15 minutes or so because he was posturing like a peacock. At this point in time we weren't eating, our boxes of food were closed and bagged. He was literally trying to make our group feel uncomfortable and threatened. One member of our party politely asked him why he was postering so.. he confirmed indeed he'd been leaning on the bar in our direction for 15 minutes.. but that was due to his arthritis... The only thing that set us apart from the other patrons.. was our demographic. If you want a good drink. This isn't the place. I'd you want to feel safe and respected, I suggest any other place on the same block. Will never go back. Wish we had our money returned for the awful drinks and service. Will share this review with the local BBB and Chamber.

Bartender ignored me and my other black friend (we watched as they served a white couple who came in after us), so we left.

Ask the Community - Fulton Ale House

Can I go there to watch the football game?

For American football, when the Bills are playing we are limited in the number of other games we can show, the Bills game usually takes up 5 of our 7 indoor screens and 2 or 3 of our 4 outdoor screens.… 

Do they have Happy Hour on Saturdays?

Happy Hour is 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM weekdays only.

Do you have NBA League Pass?

Yes we do, we also have NHL Center Ice and NFL Sunday Ticket.

Do they play the football game on Sunday at 8 with sound?

Sound is in for the first half, live jazz starts at 10:00, so no sound after that. There's always Tunity...

Some friends and I are interested in having a game night. Could we bring our own board games and order food + drinks in at a table?

The short answer is yes. (Not sure if you've been to the bar before, but we have several board games on hand and encourage people to use them.)…

Stopped in to watch a college football game midday Saturday. Half the people knew the bartenders…read more(who were great - covering table service as well, duper friendly). Good fried chicken sandwich, good variety of NA beers. Would definitely swing by here again.

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

There's pretty good seating and large TVs throughout the bar adding a more sporty feel. There's a pool table, jukebox, and a duck(???) which add layers of fun to the place too. One thing to note is that THIS IS A CASH BAR, although they do have an ATM on site for those who didn't get the memo. The drinks are cheaper than a lot of other bars in the city which is nice. The whole vibe of the place feels neighborly and free. If we were in the area getting drinks again we would consider stopping by but based on the patrons and vibe this definitely feels like a close to home kind of place, in a very good way at that.

A Solid Bed-Stuy Stop for Bites, Drinks & Sports!…read more After hitting a few street festivals around Brooklyn, we needed a quick bite before heading to another bar later that night, so we stopped at The Swan in Bed-Stuy. It was pretty crowded when we arrived, so unfortunately we couldn't snag one of the larger tables and had to settle for a high-top near the bar. Let me tell you -- those tables are SMALL for three people, especially once the food and drinks start arriving. We made it work though! For food, we ordered two rounds of the chicken bites -- one with sweet chili sauce and the other lemon pepper. The sweet chili was definitely the winner! The lemon pepper was a little bland for us, so we asked for some sweet chili sauce to add on top and that did the trick. One person in our group ordered a pretzel, while I kept it light with a side salad. There was a little bit of everything happening drink-wise at our table -- beer, espresso martinis, and I went with a Paper Plane since we'd already been drinking dark liquor earlier in the day. My first one was way too citrusy, but our server was so kind and accommodating when I mentioned it. He immediately offered to have it remade, and the second one was MUCH better! I really appreciated how he handled it. The Swan is also deceivingly large! From the outside, I expected it to be a pretty small neighborhood bar, but there's actually a lot of space inside. It's not fancy by any means, but it's definitely one of the nicer sports bars I've been to. The lights are dim, giving it a cool, moody vibe rather than the super-bright sports bar atmosphere.

Stopped in for lunch while at work. Had the burger and fries. Nice juicy charred burger but it had…read moreno seasoning on it except for the charred taste. I had it medium well and it was cooked to perfection. Fries were decent as well. $15 fo a burger and fries with a drink. I will be back. Service was great.
