    Happy birthday  Emilio
    Trevor B.

    I had the pleasure of stopping by Brooklyn brewery for a birthday celebration for my good friend Emilio. Nice place to have a beer and the Brooklyn cider house is great . The best of all enjoying the time with the people who matters most.

    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.

    Liked the vibes here! We came here for the inciardi vending machine but enjoyed sitting at the long tables. There's board games to choose from and merchandise. The food selection was lacking. It'd be nice to have a pizza or salad. You can order a pretzel or cheese platter.

    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!

    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!

    "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.

    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.

    Brooklyn Lager
    Tanesha J.

    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

    Brooklyn Brewery's Brooklyn Pilsner!
    Alden C.

    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.

    Lots of different brews and a large indoor space with lots of picnic tables and smaller bar tables. I wish they had outdoor space too. I like that they offer various beer sizes (including 5 oz) for anyone who wants less than a pint or wants to try multiple.

    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).

    Nice spot in Brooklyn for groups or just to try some local brews. Roomy, lively and fun! Service is average and beer is above average!

    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.

    Is it kid friendly?

    It depends. We were there with our 2 (ages 7 & 10) and they did well because we had friends there with us. They got to have some food but there isn't a lot of room to roam. It was really crowded and noisy. The crowds were friendly. It just depends… Read more

    A HAITIAN PIZZA BAR OF SORTS…read more One of my co-workers suggested that we meet her after work because: (1) It's walking distance from work...The equivalent of taking the long way home. (2) We both needed a drink after an eventful, extra long work shift. We got the rum punch which was good but too strong for a Tuesday. (3) I had a craving for Haitian-style herring so we shared a herring pizza. Please note I approached this slice with the most apprehension that I ever had in life and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. Their pizza crust has an interesting crunch and flakiness to it that definitely giving homemade with a unique flair. The sauce was holding on to the generous amount of mozzarella while the herring and peppers were the shining star toppings. I enjoyed it so much that I would definitely order it again. If you are looking for a chill bar atmosphere with reimagined Haitian food classics to nosh on then come on in. Thursdays might not be so chill because it's Dance Thursdays and a DJ will be spinning Konpa chunes. It's work a try.

On the positive side, it's a very spacious bar and I saw board games stacked up, which tells me it can be a fun place to hang out. Now to the not as great. I sat at the bar and after looking at their cocktail menu, I ordered a French 75. You can imagine my surprise when I was served a drink in a single rocks glass which is basically what you'd serve an old fashion or other cocktail in. A French 75 needs to be in a flute. And at first, I thought maybe they don't have any flutes. Which still perplexed me because why have a French 75 on the menu if you don't have the right glassware. But I looked behind the bar and lo and behold, saw a flute. So not sure what that was about. The drink itself was ok. The other weird thing is that when I ordered, she rang it up and handed me the handheld device to pay. Since I was sitting at the bar, I'd expect to at least be asked if I wanted to open a tab or to just wait. Payment before the drink was made just rubbed me different. And of course, gratuity was tacked on, also rubbed me wrong. Because while I planned to tip, adding your own tip automatically to 1 drink is icky.

They have some great tasting beers on tap. The music was great, it was a blend of 90's jams. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring in your own. The decor was simple, felt a bit cold and the vibe was chill. It's a small interesting space, when we arrived it was just us and 2 other small parties. When we left, there was a chaotic stroller party happening in the back. The brewery filled up pretty quick on a Saturday afternoon, with one slow moving angry woman pouring beers, it took awhile to get a beer. If the woman behind the bar had provided better customer service, I might have left a higher scoring review. I really wanted to like this place. Will I be back, probably not.

I also had the Junmai Spritz, recommended by the bartender, made with umami/saki, strawberry, ginger, and seltzer. Described as, "Crisp and refreshing, with subtle umami from sake, bright strawberry fruit, and hint of ginger spice." They also have drinks featuring rye, whiskey, rum, mezcal. Flavors of jalapeño, honey, orange, vanilla and chocolate. They have a HUGE beer list. Most of the menu is Japanese inspired. The bartender was kind, attentive, and very laid back. Other than a couple patrons here and there, I was the only person in there on a Wednesday afternoon. They say it gets busier on weekends. They also have a DJ on weekends, usually playing R&B and hiphop. They played mostly jazz when I was in, and it was very relaxing.
