Its a local bar no bites, so a great place to pregame. The bartender was really cool and made good drinks. I would definitely come back here for a very chill/divy bar vibe. read more

Nostrand Avenue Pub - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I live about 4 streets down from the pub, so it's location couldn't be better when I want a quick drink. Closing at 4am every day is also a huge selling point. I typically get a shot and a beer, but the last time I went I ordered a Manhattan and a slushy. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of both drinks. Another selling point for the pub is the staff. The gentleman that made my drinks was personable and pleasant, while still respecting my space. No matter the time of day, the place is pretty dimly lit. There's adequate seating at the bar and around it, and outside space in the back. I've yet to check out the back space, but I'm sure I will in the future. read more

Nostrand Avenue Pub - Manhattan - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came here with a couple of friends around 9pm on New Year's Eve. It wasn't as busy as I anticipated and there were a couple open booths. There's a pretty big selection of draft beers, and the bartenders were friendly. There was a DJ, and the music was incredibly loud, which made it difficult to hear one another. No one really seemed to be there to dance or party that early in the night, but oh well. read more

Great hours for a pub in the community. Open late and lovely backyard. Can never go wrong with A Macallan 12 years. Walking distance to the LIRR if needed to grab a ride back home or else. As a local resident, Mondays are my favorite if needed some time to yourself in a great bar with not too much noise. read more

Local dive bar-ish vibe. Have HH on a Sunday which is nice. Dim lighting low music that allows for conversation. Decent draft selection. The place is one level and with all the gentrification in the area the crowd fits for it. Didn't eat so can't elaborate on that, but seem like it would be your average bar food read more

- you can bring in your own food - lots of choices - I would love a sangria option - the berry rum punch was good, but I could definitely taste the cheapness of the liquor - soundtrack is very 104.3 - outdoor garden is cute, but it's gonna get crowded quickly as the weather warms - the dollar peanut butter sandwiches are good read more

i love this place!! i stopped in to ask about hosting my boyfriends birthday here and they were so kind and helpful. The owner was there to greet us and had even set up little decorations and signs :_)) it was just the sweetest thing! we had an amazing night and everyone who came said how much they loved the bar! will be spending many more nights here, thanks again :) read more

I don't know WHY I haven't come here before?? Great vibes, love that they have a backyard area, variety of drinks on draft & the bartenders were great. read more

I just chillin but I'm good I'll stay at my manhattan and Hamptons bars .. respect and tips works well ppl ! read more

Stopped in for a cool drink with the boyfriend on a hot summer evening. We were pleasantly surprised by the draft selection and my frozen drink (classic margarita) hit the spot! This is literally a pub with snacks only (chips n jerky), but you can bring your own food; they offer plates! Thanks Brandon! read more

Came here as a send-off for a former colleague. The inside is nice and the staff is friendly and helpful. The drinks felt like they were well-made. The soda mixer was flat for two drinks but I'm sure it was just a machine glitch or something and it could have been an off night for that. The backyard patio area was cute and a great spot to chat with friends. It also felt safer to be in that setting than being inside. Safety aside- the air was perfect in the evening. This is a solid place to go. Check it out. :) read more

This is great local hangout. I was so relaxing to sit in the yard after a long walk. The bartenders are great and the beer selection is top notch. A top find on my trip to Brooklyn. read more

Nostrand Avenue Pub is DOPE AS FUCK Trevor is an amazing bartender from the best state in the Union. Mitch runs the joint but takes the time to learn his customers' names and chat with them about their experience. Free pretzels. Narragansett on tap. Cool people. read more

Nostrand Avenue Pub - Bar at Nostrand Ave Pub is very Brooklyn - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just realized I been popping in least once a week since I moved to the neighborhood 4 months ago. Looks like they earned a review. This place is solid. Smart, curated beer selection; big, beautiful backyard with plenty of seating; bright eyed, open minded mix of patrons always happy to conversate. This place is like the Cheers of Crow Hill. Don't usually name drop here but in closing yeah, shout outs are in order for Chris and Colin, two het doods who always make me and my husband feel the love when they're bartending. This place has absolutely improved my Q of L. Thanks Nos P. read more

Nostrand Avenue Pub - Just one corner of the backyard paradise. - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came here the night of New Year's eve - and it was fairly crowded. I liked their communal tables - which would be great for large groups. I only stopped by drinks - so not sure if there is food in this place. I'm sure there is - those tables were too large to not any. Service was timely. staff seemed attentive. read more

Great bar. Chilled here on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the happy hour specials while killing time before a concert. I always stop by when I'm in the neighborhood. Pretty good beer selection but the coup de grace for me was the Moscow Mule. One of the best I ever had. Even though they do have a patio, the windows at the front make for good people watching if you're un the mood. I have never been disappointed by the bartenders here! Funny, cheerful, knowledgable. Stop by and see for yourself! read more

Not service animal (dog) friendly. I walked in with my service animal and the man at the bar already made up his mind before I told him my dog was a service animal. I tried to show him validation of my animal because he did not want to take my word for it. Then he said I need a tag or vest, which I don't. And he continued to say you can get those online. I'm standing there trying to reason with him and he's saying the things he's requesting "anyone can get online". I'm very disappointed and when we walked out it was raining very hard. The man who gave me this difficulty was a guy with bald head with a monotone voice. Make sure if you go with your service animal you have a $15 vest from Amazon according to his standard. read more

Whoever runs this place just seems really out of touch. From the "off the hook!" signage to the weird "backyard is open" sign, and the poorly designed menus. Solid beer selection, great staff, but hovering management loses a star too. Can't think of a bar in the area where management hangs around behind the bar as much as here, from do or dive to crown inn, Doris, glorietta baldy... you get the picture. Why not come and socialize with us at a seat? You've earned it, right? read more

Literally just left this place an hour ago. We rolled in 50 deep at 2am on a Sunday morning following a house party, and the owner/manager/old dude with an attitude comes up to everyone in our group - many of whom had already ordered drinks - and tells us we have to order or get out. Mind you, we had entered the bar no more than 10 minutes earlier. Dude, we're taking up literally your entire bar in a neighborhood bar that nobody other than locals ever goes to. Nobody from outside the neighborhood is traveling to BedStuy/Crown Heights to go to your bar. And, even if not every single person was drinking, you still had a full bar because of us and, if anything, that would bring more people in when they walk by and see a shit ton of people in the place. What you don't do is throw people out for not ordering drinks. There are people who can't drink for medical or religious reasons, and people like myself who are driving and being responsible. You just don't do that if you want repeat customers, and you definitely don't do that to a large group. Actually, you don't do that. Full stop. I could MAYBE understand if it were happy hour and I walked in solo or with a date or something, and we were just taking up seats that you needed for paying customers, but that's not even close to being the case here. It was 2am on a Sunday morning and the number of people in the bar more than doubled when we walked in. But what did you do? You threw out people who were with a large group, having a good time, who probably would have ordered SOMETHING if not for your piss-poor attitude. I won't be coming back, even if I'm in the neighborhood. I'm 30 years old and have NEVER been asked to leave a bar because I didn't have a drink in my hand. Solo. with a date or otherwise. And definitely not with a large group. Take your head out of your ass and learn how to treat people. You obviously have no business acumen if you think you can approach people who MIGHT spend money that way and expect them to still want to buy what you're selling. You suck. Period. read more

Fantastic space, excellent bartenders, totally love the vibe. Went on a weekday night, really liked the crowd. They allow outside food, which considering what's nearby is a good call. Great happy hour ($2 off drafts 5-7) but prices are a bit high otherwise. Good place to go with friends, or alone during the day. Very esoteric draft list, seem to go with fantastic names from little known breweries, so the overall quality is a bit mixed as a result. read more

Here's the deal: You're a bar that doesn't sell food, you include tax in your quoted prices. You tell me a drink is $x, I shouldn't be paying $x + tax on a drink if I pay by cc, but only $x if I pay by cash. If I question the practice, you don't assume I'm an idiot and say "I'm just paying my taxes and most bars don't pay their taxes." You tell the truth and say, I'm pricing everything in my bar according to my markup and what I have to pay in tax, and I'm effectively adding a surcharge for credit card use without telling you beforehand you'll be paying that. Be cash only if you don't like taking cc's, or tell your customers you're adding a fee equal to NYC sales tax (far greater than the normal 2 or 3 percent surcharges) before you pour their drink and let them decide whether they think it's worth it. read more

This place looks great. Great prices and great service. My only complaint is that Mitch the owner naturally gave me the impression that he wanted nothing 2 do w the people of the community. His aversion to playing more diverse music was surprisingly narrow. Which is a shame. But expected. read more

Meet up with my dad here for drinks. Its a cozy new bar on Nostrand with a great tap selection ample seating for the size of the bar and a nice quiet patio in the back. Since it was a nice day, we were out in the back drinking Ommegang Cooperstown Ale. It's a limited run summer ale by the geniuses at Ommegang. It was actually the perfect beer for a father and son talking about baseball, life in NY and summer. Happy hour runs til 8pm and the beers are still reasonably priced after that. The bar has no food other than pretzels but its ok to bring in your own or order in. All in all, a great chill beer bar in Crown Heights. read more

I popped in here for some low-key drinks with a friend on a Friday night. Unfortunately, it was raining and we didn't get to check out the outdoor area. However, they do have one and it seemed pretty spacious. The beer selection was pretty solid AND they had Heady Topper from Alchemist brewery. The bartender told us that only three bars in the city carry it and my friend who lives near Alchemist (VT) was surprised to hear we found it. Even if you don't live nearby, this beer alone is worth the trek out to Nostrand Ave. read more

Love this space. It's got a good beer selection, a chill crowd, and an outdoor space. Great addition to the neighborhood. My friend's jameson on the rocks was only $7 and the beers are all $5 - $8. read more

This is normally a lovely five star pub, with great service. And a great backyard for summer. But something was up with the blond woman who was the only person serving last night. She just ignored us. Then she said she will be with us soon. Then went off to serve three more groups who'd arrived after us. So we went to king tai instead, which is fine but doesn't have a yard. So that sucks. read more

After chowing down at Gloria's a few blocks away, what else is there to do on a horribly snowy, cold evening? Guess we should get some drinks in our bellies. Braved the arctic winds blowing in our faces to head to Nostrand Ave Pub and it was worth it. A great, local pub with lots of seating, a solid beer selection, and the Knicks on TV (well, the last part I really didn't care about.) It was rather hipster-friendly, which I was totally fine with even though I am not a practicing hipster myself. read more

Definitely a neighborhood feel at this bar. It's a place where you can easily strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to you. Alternatively, there's seating where you can get work done and just enjoy a drink while you do so. Fantastic beer selection that is always rotating. The real sell of this bar is the BACKYARD. It's a pretty incredible escape from the Brooklyn hustle. read more

This place is my 2nd living room. The love affair started 3 years ago when I was in school, and would spend my time with my nose in my computer, plugging away on homework (there are power outlets in the front of the house) for hours while I guzzle down a beer from the amazingly large selection, or imbibe with some delicious whisky. The alcohol menu is expansive, but this is definitely a beer focused joint. There is no food, albeit free bar snacks, but they have a book of menus you can ask for and order anything for delivery. The patio outside, open seasonally, is large and amazing to hangout in during summer months. It's currently decorated with birds and butterflies of the domestic and tropical varieties. Bartenders, owners, and the patrons are really friendly and always chatting up newcomers to the neighborhood. This place is definitely a neighborhood staple, and must see when in the area! read more

Fantastic pub if you're looking for a neighborhood place with an amazing draft list. Though I wish they would bring back the odyssey or the gnome beer. Free pretzels and you can order in food from other areas. Wine list ain't too shabby either. Whiskeys are well stocked if looking for a good scotch or bourbon to tie off the night. Went for their one year anniversary as well, free pizza and happy hour all night. Great bar, great times. read more

Good beer selection, but one of the bartenders is extremely rude. I'm not sure if she was having an extra bad day, but she made my first and only experience there extremely unpleasant. She placed the wrong drink in front of me, I took a sip and realized it was not what I ordered, and when she asked if I took a sip and said yes, she snapped, "Goddammit," snatched it away from me, and dumped it out. She also spilled simple syrup or something on me. Also, they also charge tax on credit card purchases. Definitely won't be going back. read more

If you love good craft beer on tap and live in Crown Heights, this bar is for you. Awesome rotating selection of great draft beers. Probably a ton of bottles too, but I always prefer draft. Cool, comfy vibe inside. Wood benches, a few tables. Good use of small space. Plus, it has a quite large outdoor area out back with a half dozen picnic tables, which is pretty sweet. This bar is pretty awesome, especially if you live on Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights. I've met Mitch, the owner, as well, and he's a down-to-earth guy who seems to really love the neighborhood. As a 4+ year resident of Crown Heights, I greatly welcome this bar to the neighborhood!! read more

Immaculate fcking vibes during Halloween with amazing decorations and nice staff, laid back and comfortable and just amazing.

Super friendly, neighborhood place. Free pretzels! They have a very comfortable backyard area which feels just right for a day drinking session. They have more than one bathroom, and so far (this place is still pretty new) they're very clean. This bar is much less of a hipster haunt than some of the other bars nearby, which is so refreshing. The decor is thoughtful with all the charming, vintage beer brand lighting, rusty spittoons and heavy wooden benches you expect in a Brooklyn pub these days. I did notice that the bright, high-ceiling interior echoed an awful lot, which made it challenging to carry a conversation over the constant and incredibly loud laugh of a fellow patron. But that's just my bad luck, I suppose. So happy this place has opened a few blocks from me! I shall return. read more

This is the sweetest surprise in the area. The bar has a good selection and a very welcoming atmosphere. It's super laid back and chill. Not a lot of the locals come here though, it mostly comes off as a hipster bar. Yet you can find so many different people while hanging out there. The bartenders are really nice too! I will definitely drink here again when I am visiting New York. read more

If you are a big bar-goer, then this is the bar for you. I was invited so I went to support. It was too dark for my liking, can't read the drink menu if you are sitting at the benches. There is no food as they don't have a kitchen but an added plus is that they have a binder of menus that you can order food from to be delivered. They do have a full bar menu of whiskeys, beers, ciders, etc. . read more

Classic Cleveland Browns bar! If you're a Baker Mayfield fan ask for Jackie, she's your bartender. Just don't bring up the Patriots, Jackie hates them so much it's scary. She knows, just like the rest of us, the patriots suck and should be stripped of all previous super bowl wins. That being said, it's hard to hear Jackie rage against Tom Brady with that much vitriol. The rest of the staff is extremely professional and won't base their job on their feelings about Tom Brady. I love the gin and soda! read more

We started having weekly Happy Hour dates here after our first impromptu date was when this one bartender was there. She's been a great bartender and one of the main reasons we chose to make this spot a weekly location for us (literally there on Thursdays as it's nice and quiet during happy hour). Great vibes. Even better service (at least when we go), and a place we'd recommend for sure. read more

This place rocks. We came in on a Sunday afternoon for some drinks - they made me a sazerac, but there's also a good selection of beers on draught. The vibe here is perfect - there's a smaller back room made of wood, with a little fire place and these really unique floating tables. It's so comfortable. They played great music and the back room also has a pair of good speakers, and one wall is all these old vintage speakers (not in use but still a really cool way to place them). This room makes it intimate if there aren't any people around, but it can also get kind of noisy back there as well. Pretty good prices ($10 for cocktails and around $7-8 for beers). Cheers! read more

Beer selection is always incredible. Our bartender (we asked, her name is Jackie) was the best. And she wrote up the menu with color accents legitimately improved the experience. read more
