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

I've stopped by the 4tg Ave Pub a few times now, and it has yet to let me down!…read more It's a spacious spot with a nice backyard area, and has a lot of fun memorabilia around. But the reason I keep coming back - the sheer selection of incredible and unique beers (and reasonably priced for that manner!). Everything from the desthil spicy sour pickle beer to many variations to le chouffe, you can't go wrong! Oh and they have free popcorn as well... tough to pass up! Service has always been friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. I can already see myself back there for the next time I'm craving some delicious craft beer!

Disappointing Service and Atmosphere…read more My brother and I had a disappointing experience here. I'd been here before and we were in the neighborhood for an event at Barclays Center so I suggested your pub because it was close by. The African American bartender, whose name I believe was Rebekah or Renata, took an excessive amount of time to serve customers. Her interactions were short and snappy. The music was unnecessarily loud, making it difficult to have a conversation without practically shouting. The excessive volume also seemed to go unnoticed by the bartender and she appeared more engaged in conversations with her friends at the bar than attending to patrons Between the slow service, lack of attentiveness, unprofessional demeanor, and uncomfortable noise level, the overall experience fell well short of expectations.

Great local spot to watch sports, entrance on Ashland Pl. TVs on every wall, each one is probably…read morearound 40" and they play multiple sports including soccer and tennis, with sound. Order at the bar. If seated at a table they will bring the food to you when it's ready. Service is excellent. They open promptly at 12 noon on weekdays. Food is decent. The fried calamari is too breaded and too fried, but it passes for bar food. Rating 6/10 The nachos have a good amount of crunchy chips with a decent amount of toppings including guacamole and jalapenos. Rating 7/10 Seating is spacious and comfortable but tabletops etc can be a bit sticky, like at many other bars. Good sports vibe and energy from the patrons.

A dope cool sports bar. Theres a "first come, first serve" seating however it looked like when it…read moregot later it was sign in method. The energy was more mature which I preferred in a sports bar. Tons of benches, some bar seating and pool tables in the back. Lots of tvs as well, saw all the March Madness games playing. I imagine it would be great for big games. That being said I came to pregame Knicks-Nets and as we got closer to start-time a lot fans came to watch game (very easy walk to Barclays- 10 min walk). The food was solid and service was pretty good. Good beer options, had the happy hour margarita. They are strong! You've been warned.
