Pepper pizza with added pepperoni
Timothy S.

An overall really great experience and fun because they had trivia the night we went! Almost everyone in the restaurant participated that made it a truly great time. The service was amazing, as was the food. More pickles please :) Very accommodating... they let us add pepperoni to an existing pizza which they don't usually do and made a spicy pickle martini which is not on the menu. Cozy environment that is great for individuals, couples on dates and even large groups. Dine in or take-out including their cooler of their best brews. Cannot wait to try all their pizzas!

Impressive food for a beer place. Service is good and the place itself is very airy and good vibes. They have speed dating on Tuesdays.

Talea is a wonderful spot for a drink and light food. I LOVE their wide variety of sour beers and the wine was pretty good too! I'd like to come back here for their trivia night!

Beer, Dine-In

I love this spot and the story behind it (NY's first woman-owned brewery!). I will say it kind of smells like chlorine inside, but the decor is fabulous. Service is friendly and knowledgeable! They have plenty of beverages to satisfy both beer and non-beer drinkers (including slushes in the summer), and they serve packs of their brews and merch towards the front. I went to a party here in the upstairs room, and I really enjoyed the charcuterie spreads and cocktail selection they offered. Great spot for casual socializing, celebrating, and impressing friends from out of town!

I've heard a lot about Talea recently, and after spending an afternoon at the Cobble Hill location, I'm definitely a fan!! I opted for the sour beer flight and all four of the sours I tried had really unique flavor profiles, although the banana split tart was my favorite. We also ordered the Bavarian Pretzel, which arrived hot right out of the oven and exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly, and I thought the colorful accents throughout the brewery were so fun. I love supporting local breweries, especially when they're female owned (!!!) Can't wait to come back.

Super adorable place! We came here to chill before hitting dinner. I tried the Tropicberry Tart Deco because I love passionfruit. It was such a refreshing drink, but definitely hit a little hard because we came here before dinner. I love the bar area in back of the room, but this place definitely has many tables for people to come in and hang out in! I saw many people order the giant pretzel and it looked incredibly tempting, but my friend and I avoided it because we knew we were going to grab dinner. I loved this place and the vibes. The guy helping us out was super friendly and checked up on us to make sure we were doing fine. We also came here midday during a weekday so it wasn't as crowded or busy at all which was awesome. I would definitely recommend coming here for some beer and snacks! The vibe was awesome and chill.

Great spot for a good beer! Wide selection of beers and snacks which was great for my group of 3 people. We sat at the bar and the staff was attentive and kind. They even have merch at this store (we bought the glasses with the location on them for $10 each, which was great!) Overall, enjoyed mg time here. My boyfriend and I already look forward to viewing the Williamsburg brewery location next!

Spicy marg

I've been long aware of Talea, and the fact that it's a woman - owned venture. I've also been walking by this bar for a long time now, waiting for the perfect opportunity to venture inside. That opportunity came by way of a sourdough pizza pop up event (happens weekly, right outside the bar on Wednesday, FWIW). Bf and I put in an order for their spicy marg pie, and then ordered a couple brews at the two spots at the bar. Wednesdays also appear to be Trivia night, which drew quite a crowd. So i suggest you arrive on the earlier side, or later side, at least for pizza night. I enjoyed my blackberry tinged beer. The pizza was excellent - spicy, tomatoey, with a nice chewy and blistered crust. The combination of pizza and beer was delightful. Definitely looking forward to a return visit here.

I was absolutely heartbroken when 61 Local closed, but am ecstatic Talea took over this spot! They completely redid the space. What has remained the same is that there are still large communal tables to hangout and cowork at. It's much brighter than before, and love the skylight from the roof. I love how Talea still kept the communal aspect of the place, and even serve coffee during the days. The Talea location in Williamsburg can be completely crowded at times, and getting a table is impossible without reservations. This one here in Cobble Hill seems much more accessible to walk in and hangout at - never had trouble finding space here. From a beer perspective, I love some of their hazies and sour offerings. Appreciate that they also do flights where you can sample multiple beers. They have a limited food menu so you can nosh on snacks while you are drinking. It's always a stop for me when I'm arranging south Brooklyn brewery excursions.

Cobble Hill residents should be *thrilled* to have this new addition to the neighborhood! TALEA is such a unique, approachable brewery, I'm struggling to think of a crowd who wouldn't enjoy grabbing a drink here. Their taps tend to focus on sours and lighter pours, though they do have some IPAs available. They also have some fun frozen drinks, and a beer popsicle. It's cool to see some creativity on the menu. And the space itself is great, with high ceilings and lots of seating. It feels very bright and modern, so don't expect a dimly-lit dive or a tavern-style brewery. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in the area!

Really cute brewery in cobble hill - they have outdoor seating and two levels of indoor seating. Interior is bright and spacious! Beer-wise they had some decent ones but there are other breweries I'd probably pick before coming here. They had a few snacks you could order but we didn't get any since we weren't particularly hungry. One thing to note is you cant build your own flight here. My favorite part of going to a brewery is building my own flight, so I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't do so here.

Very nice and cozy ambiance with an exceptional upstairs seating option. Absolutely loved the spiked hot chocolate!

What a lovely bar to sit in and relax and talk about your day with our large group of friends…read more Elsa is large, quiet, comfortable and inviting. We all had different cocktails and I asked for a shot of Don Julio Tequila which was "Far" from one shot - let's just say here at Elsa's they are VERY generous! This was perfect place to start our night as we were walking next door to the Yemeni restaurant where they serve no alcohol - not even a BYOB! Elsa's was the beginning staging area of our busy night.

I've been to this cocktail bar regrettably only twice even though I live (or rather lived upcoming…read moresoon) around the corner. It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.

The service was also great as the bartender was quick and got us our next drinks as soon as he saw we finished our first one. During our visit, we tried the Matt's Ginger Old Fashioned, Brooklyn, Vulcano, and Palermo Fix. All cocktails were $14 each, which were all nicely made. The Brooklyn was very strong and the Old Fashioned is a nice classic with a hint of ginger flavor. The other two were lighter with twists of sour. They also offer some paninis, plus a toasted lard bread ($5) that we ordered. The lard bread is from Mazzola, which is absolutely delicious, but kind of sad that they only offer 4 pieces. Cool bar in the neighborhood with tasty drinks. It's such a simple, yet sophisticated bar. There's also a pool table in the back to enjoy.

The Neapolitan is my favorite. The only food items they have are a few panini's so don't come here expecting a full food menu. They have a pool table in the back and outdoor seating. The service is always quick and the bartenders know how to make a cocktail. Love coming here whenever I'm out and about in Caroll Gardens.
