Huge space with ample amounts of all types of seating. Absolutely perfect spot for a large group! There's a festive photo booth in the back corner along with a huge area of merchandise for purchase near the entrance. Looove all the fun decor and artwork/mural. Beer selection is vast, as is the non-alcoholic one which I was surprised by but hats off to them for creating a welcoming space where everyone can gather. They also have a couple of snacks (pictured) available but I'd recommend eating at one of the great surrounding restaurants beforehand if you're looking for something substantial. All of the bartenders I interacted with were great and gave me lots of helpful info re: events. Thursday is Trivia Night + the last Friday of every month is Comedy night + 1st Friday of every month is kinda like a talent show vibe of people performing on stage (memory was getting a bit hazy at this point...) Last but certainly not least, they *usually* have an Inciardi machine on the floor -- I love any establishment a bit more when they support her art! You can get a mini BK-Brewery themed art print in exchange for $1 through a slot-vending style machine. Not sure how long it'll be there for but it's such a fun addition to an already entertaining space. read more

Friendly staff, huge space, BYOF, and perfect for groups of any size. Came here with friends to do trivia and appreciated being able to each bring our own dinner given the brewery's very limited food menu. Only qualm with trivia evenings is that it's *very* difficult to hear any of the questions! read more

Brooklyn Brewery is a classic in the American beer store, and it was high on my list for a visit. It lived up to expectations and I had a fun time. I was there shortly after opening on a weekday morning, and yet it was mostly full. They have a large taproom area with tons of tables for any size group. They also rent out to parties as a wedding reception was setting up. A highlight was watching the social media team do a photo shoot with some new beers, which I got to try while there. The bartending team were all welcoming, but Alma went above and beyond which I appreciated. I ordered a few flights and had fun tasting everything especially the small batch releases not available elsewhere. Alma also gave me a special limited bottle on my way out, which was a fun gift to share later. If you're a beer fan, this is a must visit throwback to the beginnings of craft beer in the USA. I'll definitely be back! read more

I stopped in on Sunday while brewery hopping around the city. We sat at a table near the bar and ordered two separate times through the QR code. It was super convenient to order, pay and have your items delivered. I tried their Pulp Art Hazy IPA while my husband had the summer ale. Prior to leaving I tried the East IPA and was not a fan. The Hal's New York Kettle chips they sell were super good. I wish I bought a few more bags. We ordered the salt & vinegar and the sea salt. We bought our pup a souvenir on the way out, a plus Brooklyn brewery beer with a squeaker in it. There were self service water stations throughout the brewery. I highly recommend this stop. read more

It's been a while since I last patronized the Brooklyn Brewery in person though their beers are commonly found in restaurants and supermarkets around NYC so I've certainly drank their beer since then! My faves are their amber lager, summer ale and east coast IPA. My visit from several years ago stands out in my mind since this was one of the first NYC brewery experiences I had in the city. From the outside it looks like a warehouse, inside they have a full production facility set up with huge fermentation drums, bottling and packing machines, and crates of beer ready to be shipped to distribution chains. They used to give free tours that you could join by signing up at the door, currently this is on pause since they are preparing to move to a different location, though daily beer tastings are available 6-6:30pm Mon-Fri, $30. The brewery is still open for beer and snacks, they have a bar area with a very large indoor beer garden style seating with both regular tables and picnic table/benches, large enough to seat around 300. Since they don't have a full kitchen so they allow you to bring your own food, I distinctly recall they carry full size pickles as one of their bar snacks. Sometimes they have live music, trivia nights are Thursdays and bingo is on certain Mondays. Fabulous place to hang with friends and drink some good beer! read more

Iconic spot! They're changing locations soon so have unfortunately stopped offering their brewery tour, but it remains a great spot to visit. We stopped by and got a glass of their non-alcoholic brew and sampled some of the others as we were headed to a different event after. All the drinks were yummy and very citrusy. Staff was friendly and managed the lines really well. Pretty reasonably priced and it had a nice beer garden-y atmosphere even inside. Excited for their new location! read more

Ambiance: Large indoor brewery in Brooklyn decorated in an athletic + modern style that is perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just hanging out with a group of friends on a weekend. Multiple seating options available including picnic tables, barrel high top tables, couches, stairs, and more. Several beer options available, including a few NA beers! Fast & friendly service. Limited bar food menu (a bit pricey IMO) and a merch area. Multiple Instagram worthy backdrops scattered around the brewery. WiFi available, water stations, and flight options. Worth a visit for any beer lover! read more

"The evening came and went And the bums in the street begging money for one last drink And in the cool evening breeze I was down on my knees in Brooklyn" (Al Stewart) We were in Williamsburg for a family wedding and met some out of state relatives here for a few pops and conversation. Brooklyn Brewery has a big tasting room with scores of tables and chairs, and there were no free tables when we arrived, so we made do with standing and hanging out at the bar. I'm not an IPA guy, but there were a few lagers and pilsners on their beer list that I drank and enjoyed. I also had a half pour of a pumpkin ale that was very good. When you walk in you'll be greeted by a slew of huge beer tanks, some colorful wall décor, and a nice little gift shop. Brooklyn Brewery doesn't have a kitchen, so you can't grab a sandwich or a burger here. They did have a few snacks available, like chips, pickles and sopprasseta plates. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, and the beers. read more

This brewery has been around for a while. I do not come here much but when I do I always have a great time having great beer and food. The staff are friendly and the brewery itself is pretty big. They have picnic bench type seating in the main area. There are 3 seating sections so there is ample amount of space for people to enjoy their beers. This brewery is also near public transit. It is near the ferry which is a wonderful way to get around the city by. I recommend coming to check out this brewery if you have not already. It is also next to brooklyn bowl. Which is a bowling place and they have live music sometimes. read more

Arrived when they opened, tried some yet-to-be-released beers. Lives up to the hype and would return!

Celebrating 50 years of HipHop with a limited edition Brooklyn Lager featuring the legendary Notorious B.I.G., bringing two Brooklyn icons together @ The Brooklyn Brewery.. The Lager is crisp and delicious. I've never been to the Brewery before, but I plan on returning to do a tour and taste testing. It's a really chill vibe and a great place for an after work get-together. The menu was really limited to just snacks, but it was to be expected. The staff was very attentive and provided a great service. Ig:thefunfluencer read more

Brooklyn Brewery has long been on my list to try. A couple of times I think it even slipped through my fingers on an opportunity to try them but at long last it finally happened a little while ago. Steve and I had the Brooklyn Pilsner and we liked it pretty well! We always enjoy pilsners and it's rare that we don't like one. This pilsner was no exception to that at all. It was indeed enjoyable. Flavor highlights with this beer are clean, malty, watery (on purpose) and citrusy. It's a very light bodied beer and extremely easy to have more than one. It's perfect to have with pizza or a hamburger... maybe even tacos but I usually hold out for a Mexican Lager for those. read more

This brewery is poppin' on a weeknight when we came by and it was trivia night. It was so busy and crowded, so we sat on the high top near the entrance. We were able to actually have a conversation while enjoying the pizzas we brought with us since food isn't offered here. For drinks, you can order everything through a QR code, which got brought out to us pretty quick. We got a round of beers and a flight. I'm not really a beer drinker, so nice that they had some ciders (but wish they had a few more options). read more

Cute spot, so spacious inside with long picnic tables and a few smaller tall tables. Order via QR code at the table and they'll bring it to you. Lots of beer choices. Chimes at midnight is a dark Belgian beer, quite strong and bitter. Has board games in the corner, but they're quite rundown and no cards. Saw Jenga, sorry, exploding kittens and a few others. Looks like they have trivia on Thursdays. read more

I attended a tour of the Brooklyn Brewery and was pleasantly surprised. It was informative, engaging and had alcohol. Our tour guide shared lot of interesting facts about the brewery, it's history and the ties to Brooklyn. The tour is held in their research facility so we had a chance to sample beers that are not on the market. I enjoyed one of our tour guides favorites, la playa. It was a lager with a strong hint of lime! Loved it! The brewery is located in Williamsburg Brooklyn, close to great shops and restaurants. It has a chill ambiance. Inside is a huge casual space to sit and chat or play games. read more

Raise your hand if you love Craft Beer! Raise your hand if you love IPA, Summer Ale, Shandy, Lager! Raise your hand if you love Williamsburg! Well let's do a bit of addition: Craft Beer+ Ambience+ IPA+ Lagers+ Williamsburg= Brooklyn Brewery! It's always good to get math out of the way before slurping a brewski! Cousin, visiting from Florida, bookmarked Brooklyn Brewery as one of our post Domino Park visits. We missed the Brewery tour, last one 4:30 on Sundays.. bummer. Well, we drowned, literally drowned, our disappointment in BEER! BEER! BEER! You enter and of course view the stainless steel calandrias ( beer tech folks)the beer is made in and you enter a room filled with endless camp tables.You pick your spot and scan QR and place your order. I was in the mood for a light Summer Ale, thus chose the Seasonal Special, Summer IPA. Cousin ordered a lager, still smarting over missing brewery tour.. There are flights, snacks and just a good old time to be had. Pick your drink, pick a table to sit at and meet fellow IPA lovers and keep picking delicious beer that this wonderful Brewery provides. The entire staff are friendly ( hey love that especially when pouring your beer!) Here's some additional mathematics for me: Additional visits to Brooklyn Brewery will increase my craft beer knowledge and this will lead me to be a Brooklyn Beer Barley hop connoisseur brewski swilling gal from Bay Ridge...

We ordered nine beers for our tasting flights, with most offering the option of either 5oz or 12oz pours. My favorite was the Fonio Rising Double Pilsner, while we absolutely didn't enjoy the Megapurple. Overall, we had a fantastic experience--the atmosphere really made us feel like we were on vacation. The service was attentive, with staff promptly clearing our finished beers. There's even a section with board games, though most require more than four players, so we ended up playing Battlefield. All in all, it was a great time! read more

I've walked by Brooklyn Brewery dozens of times and have finally made my way inside. Big space which easily accommodated our large group. All communal seating. Feels like an indoor beer garden. Nice variety on draft. I've been seeking a brown ale and the one here hit the spot! Service was quick. Very professional staff. There are two communal restrooms which were converted to gender neutral restrooms. There was a curtain by the urinals providing some privacy. There were handicap accessible stalls. read more

So so so excited to be able to visit this place from Texas! Unfortunately it was a Sunday and they closed early, and we got there late after a race and subway delays, etc. but I am still glad we made it. Fantastic beet and servers, and I was able to get my husband a 6-pack of beer we can't get back home. There was a live jazz band, which I love so much. Would've gone back if I was there longer. Well worth the visit, amazing beer and I love what they represent! read more

Best brewery in the NYC area! Currently, most orders are made via the toast website. Scan the QR code at your table. Order and pay on your phone. They bring your beers very quickly after checking out (less than one minute both times I ordered). If you're having issues ordering on toast, you can walk up to the bar and order too. When you order a 12oz draft beer, you have the option of adding a 7oz beer for only $3 more. Great option if you're at the brewery with someone else (or want to sample another beer!) read more

If you're looking for a chill brewery, unfortunately this isn't it. While the Brooklyn Brewery can be fun, it's also just chaotic (at least on a Saturday afternoon). When we arrived, the place was pretty packed so we were asked to wait (which we expected, as a relatively large party). But after only about 5 minutes, we were waved in and directed to a table near the back. The only issue was that there were already people at that table, who weren't very happy with our sudden addition. However, we packed in, since we had no other option. I did appreciate that you can order either at the bar or through their QR code link (they were impressively quick at bringing over the drinks). I tried the cider and unfortunately didn't like it at all, but the Black Chocolate Stout was wayyy better. If you want somewhere lively, casual, and dog friendly (so many dogs), this place might still be your vibe! But for me, it was just alright. read more

I've always been a fan of this brewery. After all, for a born and raised girl from Brooklyn who wouldn't love the brewery named Brooklyn Brewery? This place pre-pandemic and post-pandemic always was full of laughters and joy. As you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff. The menu options are so over whelming, so why decide ? Just get them all! Post pandemic, they no longer have flight options but best deal is buy a drink, add a sampler 3 oz for +$3. So worth it. Contactless menu, just scan and order from your phone, they deliver to your table. P.s. they have a reward card where you earn 50 points and get $5 off. Such a great deal ! read more

Finally got a chance to go the Brooklyn Brewery with some friends and it was the perfect spot to catch up and grab some beers. You can either order at your table or at the bar. If you order from the table like we did, someone brings your stuff right over to you. I tried a Pilsner a cider and a rose! They have different sizes as well if you feel like making your own pseudo flight or just stick to a larger cup size the choice is yours! (And honestly the prices weren't bad either). We also went on a free tour of the brewery which I highly recommend if possible. Our tour guide told us some really interesting facts about the factory, company and the beer itself. There was even a trivia question at the end that if you got it correct you could potentially earn a free beer! Not to brag but I won ... I would also recommend looking through their gift shop to buy yourself a keepsake.. I got a cool new shirt! read more

Cool brewery near our hotel so we stopped by for a flight. Place was poppin'. The beers are good, and place gave positive vibes. It's pretty big and if you don't want to be in the main room where it's pretty vibrant, you can sit at the front of the house upon entry; there are some single/double seats there. Although packed and busy, the workers move fast and there's never a long wait or a long line to order your beer. Would definitely visit again when in town. read more

Confession: Brooklyn Brewery was indeed the first brewery tour and trip I've ever made circa 2009 or 2010 I want to say. I've been going to breweries before it became a hipster, cool, trendy thing that everyone now needs to do. Which I guess is okay, because it means more beer is being manufactured and tinkered with but does not help with subsiding the crowds down. I'm sure that won't be a problem anymore when businesses start slowly opening. But anyway, things that I like that have changed about the brewery over the past decade: they have more beers that cater to everyones' palate. Want a dark coffee/chocolatey beer? Check. A rose beer - yes. An ipa that tastes like swill - they have it all. Maybe still not high on my brewery list for craft beers but they've really changed and deserve some kind of recognition for improvement. I went with one of their flights this time (Brooklyn Limited): Petite IPA, Full English, Pilot No. 1, and Rose de Ville. I was weirdly most impressed with the rose beer. It's not something I would expect but it was different. The Full English might have been a second but I wasn't a huge fan of honestly any of the beers and the ones in rotation on the o.g. flight I've had all before. None of them are great except the brown ale and maybe the bel air sour I can stomach. After our flights I split some of the Brooklyn Black Ops with a friend and it was more solid and had some real definition and layers for a drink. But everything overall - a bit over-priced and over-hyped. They have games now inside. Specifically Mario and GoldenEye 007 I played around with both and completely lost track of the time and it leading to another beer. Effective marketing. The set up is different - tons of picnic tables now in the main brewing room. The one downside I guess still are the lines to get inside. I thought it was going to be a quick stopover and the line in itself took 20-30 minutes to get through and I'm thinking in the back of my head I could just go to a craft beer bar nearby with no crowd, no line, better stuff on tap. But this is a nostalgic place for me and I hold some pretty special memories with it. read more

Brooklyn Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Brooklyn, New York in 1996. It was founded by brewing partners Steve Hindy and Tom Potter. After working as a foreign correspondent in the Middle East, Hindy moved back to Brooklyn in the mid-1980s and soon discovered home-brewing. In the late 19th century, Brooklyn was a hub for industry, shipbuilding, farming and immigration. Waves of German and Austrian brewers settled in the borough and at one point produced 10% of all American beer. Hindy and Potter had a dream to make Brooklyn an active location for brewers again. They officially founded Brooklyn Brewery as a contract brewing entity in 1988. All of their beer was contract brewed by Matt Brewing Company in Utica, New York. The duo delivered their first batch of Brooklyn Lager to Teddy's in the Williamsburg neighborhood. As the supply and demand grew for their beer, it was time for Brooklyn Brewery to find a permanent home. The Brooklyn Brewery officially opened its doors to the public in 1996 at an old matzo factory in Williamsburg. Garrett Oliver was hired as the head brewmaster. The Williamsburg facility is thought of more as a test kitchen and can only produce a limited amount of beer. Larger production and distribution still continues at the Utica facility. Today, Brooklyn Brewery beer is available in more than 30 countries on 5 continents. My wife and I first visited the Brooklyn Brewery in July 2015. We had spent the entire day in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Brewery was one of the first craft breweries that I ever got into, so it was a big deal to see their taproom. Some of my favorite offerings of theirs include their flagship Brooklyn Lager, Brooklyn Blast!, Black Chocolate Stout, and Black Ops. Their tasting room was really nice and in a really nice location. Williamsburg is a great neighborhood filled with both Hasidic Jews and Craft Beer Hipsters. My wife and I had a nice time on the tour, which was very informative. Afterwards I tried three different brews: the Greenmarket Wheat Ale, Hexagon Black Ale, and the American Ale. All of them were very refreshing. I understand that the tasting room had a major renovation recently. I look forward to visiting it again soon! read more
