    Was walking around the area looking for a drink and found the brew inn - it seemed like a cool, lowkey neighborhood spot so we popped in. It definitely lived up to the neighborhood pub vibe, as the bartenders made us feel right at home despite us having never been! Your standard beer/drink selection, and while we weren't hungry, the food looked and smelled incredible.. the burgers looked top notch, the onion rings smelled amazing, the pretzels were huge. We have added it to our restaurants to try next time we are nearby!

    As a Greenpointer for over a decade, I have been to Brew Inn dozens of times. Honestly, this less-than-good review is not about the quality of the food, which is usually quite good. Nor is this about the service, which is what you'd expect for a Brooklyn pub -- slow, bartender(s) chatting with friends and staring at their phones instead of actually serving. Standard, though no big deal. This is about how expensive The Brew Inn has gotten in just the last several months. I realize there is inflation and the price of things has gone up, but how do you justify pricing a burger at $17 just a couple of months ago to increasing it to $22?!? That's almost a 33% increase in just a few weeks. And as if that wasn't slightly alarming to see, when the bartender gave me my initial check, it had the two beers and the burger I ordered along with the tax. Cool. I gave him my card and off he went. But when he came back there was a new, additional charge of $1.59 called a "Cust Serv Chg." Not that $1.59 is a ton of money but wth is it for? They've never done that before and it's like ... why?? I ate and drank there as usual -- so no delivery -- and there's a separate tip, as always, and it was only me, so why are you charging me more for the privilege of charging me more (see the above $5 price increase on a burger since January)? Seems like a covert and needless way of gouging customers, Brew Inn. Lame.

    We came here the other day with a large group and there wasn't space inside for us, but we were able to get seated at one of the tables outside. The bartender was friendly and helpful in assisting people with choosing drinks. The drink prices weren't bad. We wanted to order food here, but sadly the didn't really have any gluten free options, and also the prices seemed very high for bar food. There were QR codes for a menu, but sadly it wasn't accurate, so fixing that would be helpful.

    The Brew Inn is near by my friend apartment so she always come after work. After we went to a restaurant we still wanted to go out so she brought us here. Bartender kindda tough with us especially one of my friend I don't know why and she is not happy about it. We also see the bartender yell at another customer out loud so maybe it is just his personality. Only thing that good about this place is the bar open until late night. Anyway If I have a choice I won't come back to this bar.

    Burger with arugula, so good

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well.

In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!
