I read some of the other reviews and don't dispute the comments about stickiness, etc. But, IMHO, this place is 5 stars for what it is, which is a very large beer hall that's a super fun place to hang and gets incredibly busy. (If that's not your jam, don't go!) But, if that is your jam, here are some of the things I love: 1) The service has always been attentive and fast, even when they're crazy busy. This is hard to do, and is appreciated! 2) This is a great place to go during the summer with outdoor seating, or in the cozy winter. 3) I love that they have abundant jenga and big tables. We roll in with 6-15 people every time we go, and have always found a place to sit. We've probably been 15 times so far. 4) The beer selection is great 5) The food is surprisingly good, and super fast! All in all, a great, casual place to hang with friends, any day of the week. read more

I've visited this place a couple of times, including yesterday. If you're day drinking in the Williamsburg area, it seems like the place to be. There is a ton of seating, and a large fireplace, as well as various games like Jenga four tables to play. It tends to get really packed in here and so it was a bit chaotic, however, the music was good and not too loud. This is a beer, forward place, with cider wine, cocktails, and some nonalcoholic drinks available as well as food. I had a Mezcal cocktail yesterday as well as a glass of Pinot noir, and both were pretty underwhelming. It's not somewhere that I would voluntarily go, as a crowd is a bit on the younger side (mid 20s) and it does give a "post college" vibe, but I can see why it's popular. One of the urinals apparently had vomit in it all afternoon which tracks. Service is generally quick but you have to go up to the bar to order. Crowded and a bit rowdy. Good for bar crawls. read more

Awful service and rude workers. I wouldn't go here and will never return to Green Pointe, let alone "Spritzenhaus 33". Ambiance is also horrible, such an eye sore of a place. Stay away read more

Spritzenhaus is a good spot for a casual drink/bar food options in Williamsburg/Greenpoint, right by McCarren Park. It's a massive beer hall with tons of seating inside, plus a good amount of outdoor tables along the sidewalk. It's perfect for groups or just hanging out and people-watching. I visited on a Thursday for happy hour (until 7pm, $7 beers, cider, etc.) and grabbed a table outside with a friend. If you're seated outside, you order at the bar and bring out your drinks - service was quick. Inside, there's a huge bar, plenty of seating, and the vibe gets livelier later in the night with music and a fun crowd. I've been here a few times and would recommend for casual drinks, catching up with friends, or a group outing. read more

Spritzenhaus 33 - Outdoor table - German Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place gets really crowded. You need to make a reservation or get there before they open. People are already waiting outside. The Argentine brat was really good. Very garlic heavy though so be warned. It's also expensive for the size. But everything did taste good. read more

My review is 3.5 but I think Spritzenhaus can easily make minor changes to make it 4. The variation of beers makes this a 4 star and the family friendliness is awesome. The 0.5 star off is they could be a bit cleaner. The tables were sticky and the bartenders were so busy talking to each other and not serving customers. read more

Huge beer garden and gets really lively on weekend nights. It's a bit chaotic with so many people and it takes a while to order and receive your drinks/food, but it you're looking for a super lively place & want to enjoy a beer with some bratwurst, this is your spot! read more

Cool beer hall with a lot of beer selections. Can also grab one of there brats to soak up some of that beer

Been here quite a few times, and the drinks and vibe are always good. But the best part is when Eli is bartending! He's so welcoming and a super interesting guy to talk to. Gives "just found my new fave local bartender" vibes, and I'm here for it! read more

We have been in to the Spritzenhaus a few times. We stopped in this afternoon on our way to an event and we were happy to see Eli. He is great to have take care of us as he is always engaging and fun to talk to. Service was fantastic and this is quickly becoming one of our favorite places in the neighborhood. read more

Always great service by the team here. Excellent food (the pretzels are the deadliest ones outside of Germany) and the beer selection is unbeatable. Great for a date or a group hang. read more

I was here for a happy hour and it was surprisingly very nice! I didn't take any photos since I was there socially. I did not have any beer so I cannot comment about that aspected Pros: - plenty of space & seating - well priced food that was tasty - cute place! I like that the windows opened and it was the outside inside aesthetic - close to the subway (Nassau stop on the G) - jenga was available to play! Areas of improvements: - the menu font is hard to read. the letters are too close together read more

It's such a shit show Went on Saturday and damn, They are understaffed* * bar had a huge crowd of like 6 people deep waiting for drinks and only 3 guys working. One of the bartenders got in a fight with my friend about nothing. Probably more pleasant when it's not crowded af read more

I've been here a few times, and it's always packed. Essentially, it's an indoor beer garden with a real fireplace that adds a warm and cozy touch. While the tables tend to be a bit sticky, it's a solid spot for beers and spirits. The cocktails, however, are pretty disappointing. That said, it's a great place to hang out with friends, especially for large gatherings, thanks to the spacious layout and lively atmosphere. read more

Great place a large selection of draft beers bartenders are great. Security is polite. Looking for Parking is not a big problem in this area. They have outdoor seating in the summer large windows that open up that makes you feel like you're outside while sitting inside. read more

The unexpectedness of this good experience doubled its impact. Everything that I have tried has been pretty flavorful. Service was outstanding with quickly delivered food. The spot where Spritzenhaus 33 sits is perfect, but its team's attitude is even better. Try this place and you won't regret it. read more

Great place mid shopping to grab a beer with your buddies and play some games! Plenty of space for large parties, great selection of beer! read more

Spritzenhaus 33 - German Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We came with a group of about 30 people and ordered a large amount of food and drinks. Partway through, staff noticed a single outside drink that someone had set down at our table. Instead of giving us a chance to remove it or even mentioning it to us, they immediately brought over security and asked our entire group to leave. The situation was handled in an unnecessarily harsh and rude way, and we weren't allowed to finish the food and drinks we had just paid for. For a restaurant and bar that should value customer experience, especially with large groups, this was extremely disappointing. read more

What a wonderful restaurant. Staff is helpful and friendly. Their dishes were bland and conventional. Though not expansive, Spritzenhaus 33 stays clean and feels homey. This spot offers a wonderful atmosphere. read more

Was in town visiting a friend and came for a few beers. Great beer selection, love the focus on German beers and there's a great selection of hefeweizens. I had a couple and thy were all excellent beers. Huge venue and service was quick at the bar given a good number of bartenders and, when it gets busier, they've got two sets of taps by the looks of it which is great. Everything about the vibe is right up my alley I admit. A bit more chill, laid back, a couple groups had board games, a couple groups had babies, big open windows for some fresh air, good music. Reasonable prices too, a rarity in New York.... read more

Came here Saturday at opening time with my family, yes family included teenagers. Checked the website ahead of time for opening hours, policies etc. nothing on website about ages for admission. Was turned away at the door and told 'no children on Saturday' can't argue with a private business policy but rather confused why I drove 45mins to visit this place and couldn't learn this info on the website. If you don't allow children to eat here on Saturday please make that public info. read more

I am here in Greenpoint, Brooklyn for a hot second before heading to the airport. I decide to get someone quick to eat and I come to Spritzenhaus. I LOVE Allagash White and so I grab one of those and the bar tender recommends the Cheeseburger Smash because I'm not super hungry. I'm really glad I got it because it's delicious. They have a special sauce on it too. The vibe is cool here too and low key. Come check it out. read more

Great food and bar. Chicken sandwich was nice and crispy with a kick of spice from the aioli. Tacos were a good portion for the price. Can't miss with either. Chef was kind and gave me a thumbs up as my friends and I devoured the food. Love the open concept layout. Lots of space. Great buzz on a Friday night. Would recommend if you're in Brooklyn! read more

Spritzenhaus 33 - German Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Rude and frankly delusional. Kicked out our entire party of 25+ who had paid for multiple drinks and food due to a sealed/unopened can from outside which happened to be on our table. The bouncer was a miserable human and the manager is arrogant and clearly doesn't understand the hospitality industry? Would not recommend to anyone. Go to Radegast instead. read more

Great beer hall that provides a chill space for larger get togethers. Family friendly - we were able to bring an infant and stroller for a get together of 10 people or so without having reservations. The food is solid. I definitely recommend the brussels sprouts and an old fashioned. read more

This beer hall is massive with tons of great beers on tap and some bar snacks to tide you through when you get hungry. I recommend coming here if you are having a party as there is more than enough room for everyone. This place gets especially rowdy and fun in the early afternoon, perfect for a day event. Definitely check this place out! read more

Definitely a great pre game spot, especially if you have a big group with you! Service was great and quick. Didn't get to try the food this time around but from what I was seeing it looked pretty delish. They also have games to play such as Kenya which makes thing fun! Cheap drinks is the way to go!! read more

Spritzenhaus 33 - Stella Beer - German Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Industrial meets fairy lights! A cool mashup of style for a German beer house. Lots of open seating, which are long communal tables. No hostess for seating, it's first come first serve. Order food at the bar, get a ticket, and pick-up at the kitchen. It eliminates the need for servers. Food comes out quick!! The most we waited was 8 minutes for fries and a soft pretzel. Fries were HOT, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The pretzel was so buttery and warm! There's a list of creative list of sauce options that are definitely made in house. My only complaint is I would love to enjoy the pretzel with hot cheese, but it was not an option. Also, the pretzel was on the smaller size. Usually they're larger than life big at German restaurants, but the flavor made up for the size. read more

NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE!!! Yes, they have a special entrance on the side but zero handicap accessible bathrooms. I use to always come here back in the day but that was before I had my accident. I was excited to return till I had to use the restroom only to find out they didn't have one for me. If this place really cares about their customers, they could easily make two of the four (!!!) abled body bathrooms into on handicap accessible stale. I don't mind waiting in line for the restroom but I do mind when I can't even use one in general. Do better!!!! read more

It's the spaciousness of this great beer hall and its prime location on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint that makes Spritzenhaus a go-to for my large group gatherings. You can just drop in without a reservation and you're sure to find a seat at a long table or some corner to stand in. In the evenings the whole space gives off a warm glow from the hanging lights and indoor fireplace, and during the day with natural light filling the 6,000 sq ft space it's hard not to be in a good mood. The food menu is limited, mostly comprising of sausages, pretzels, and fries, but the extensive beer list is where it's at. There's even a solid cocktail menu since they have a full bar if beer is not your speed. In the temperate months there are tables set up outside so you can imbibe to your heart's content in the great outdoors. read more

The sausages are comically small - $10 for a 5 inch long sausage? which was also dry and way too salty. Total ripoff. Rude Bartender was too busy chatting behind the counter to take my order. read more

The food was good and the fireplace (especially on a cold day) is awesome. Unfortunately, after coming here two years in a row for parties I can confirm the reviews that discuss the bad service. Even when it's not busy, the staff doesn't manage the bar well and one was rude when I politely pointed out I had been waiting to order well before some of the other folks he was helping. read more

We actually made the trip to Brooklyn to visit spritzenhaus. The crowd is on the younger side but the beer is good, outdoor seating is refreshing and sausages are good. read more

Spritzenhaus 33 - Sausage and beer! - German Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm a big fan of Spritz. I have been coming here for years with my friends. It is a very large space, with a lot of picnic table seating to accommodate large groups. The space is always pretty packed on weekends, both during the night and day. You'll see a lot of birthday parties here, because it's so easy for large groups to hang out here, and it's close to a lot of other great bars if you want to bar hop. The beer menu is pretty expansive, and they have a full bar. The well drinks are actually pretty cheap (sub $10, which is rare in this neighborhood). There is also a limited food menu, with an emphasis on biergarten-type foods such as sausages and pretzels. They do have a pretty decent kale Caesar salad that I've had a few times. I would definitely recommend Spritzenhaus33 for a casual drink, particularly if you are with a large group of people. read more

Worst experience of my life. Sat down with a group of people on my friends birthday. We had a couple bottles with us but we kept them sealed on the side. We ordered drinks from the bar and we're waiting on our food when Jim the bartender with long hair asks us if the bottle on the ground was ours we said yes and he took it and told us to get out with a smile on his face. We never got our food and didn't get a refund. The way Jim spoke to us was rude, condescending, and disrespectful. When we were standing outside trying to make new plans Jim came out with that bottle cheers-ing us obnoxiously and taking shots. Surely he could've asked us to take those bottles elsewhere outside instead of telling us to get out. He also claimed to be the manager which I really hope he wasn't. This experience was shocking and upsetting. Edit: posting a pic of "Jim" since I feel like he also lied about his name read more

Only because I wasn't here long enough to truly rate the establishment is why I gave it 3 stars....but the vibe was good enough to know i need to return in the warmer weather. When the windows are wide open, the Music blaring... definitely a vibe. Drinks were good. No complaints, except the lemonade might not be the best for tequila and lemonade but it did the trick for the moment. read more

Had a great time here this weekend! Super easy process to reserve tables and enjoy a fun night with friends. I know i sure did!

So fun & lively!! Seems like the city is finally getting back to normal after covid & this place was at the forefront of that. It was the warmest day of spring so far at 78 & this place had the windows open and the people came. Great prices & food as well! My friends and I started with the $7 beer & shot with a side of fries. Great place to hang out for the afternoon, hope to come back with a big group next time! read more

Fun. Easy. Enjoyable. Occasionally cranky waiters. But it's New York City, so get over yourself and order a beer. read more

I threw a large group birthday outing at Spritzenhaus 33 over the weekend and had a great time! Pros: - Perfect space for large groups (~25-30 people). Recommend making reservations with spritzenhaus@gmail.com. Lance, the manager, responds quickly and assigns you the tables. Kudos to Lance and the friendly & attentive staff who did a great job of securing tables for us by leaving printed reservation signs. Seek the help of the many formidable bouncers to kick off any unwanted strangers. - Huge drink menu at affordable prices. I like that the bar wraps around the entire place so there's no bottleneck. - Yummy fries and hot dogs. - Support dogs (with paperwork) and children allowed. I suggest noise reduction headphones for toddlers. - You can bring outside birthday cake and they will store in the fridge for you. Another big plus is that they generously provide utensils and paper plates at no extra cost! Cons: - Due to its popularity, the space can get quite packed. When all the windows are closed in the Winter, the sound doesn't escape so it becomes overwhelmingly noisy. - Expect many other birthday parties present and some extremely wasted individuals (ie. Millennial girls with birthday crowns) read more
