My new favorite bar! Happy hour u til 8pm and plenty of activities daily. I want to go back for trivia night since it seemed to be well talked about and they have a lot of regulars as we sat at the bar and made friends. The food was really good as well I had nachos and got my chicken and jalapeño on the side since I was sharing with someone who didn't eat meat. The drinks were really good and happy hour margaritas were only 10 bucks!!! The most Irish bar I've ever been too!
My husband and I randomly dropped in for brunch and OMG... it was so good! We each got a cocktail (~$13 each) which were delicious. Then we shared 2 entrees, but there were so many items on the menu that looked good. Brunch smashburger - really generous serving, the meat and accompaniments were fantastic with perfectly cooked thick cut bacon. Fries were solid pub fries. Truffle egg and Prosciutto- served on what tasted like housemade English muffin. Prosciutto was perfectly crisp and not too gamey. Eggs had a good level of Truffle but wasn't overpowering. Side salad was refreshing though maybe a little heavier on dressing for our preference. Service was efficient and friendly. Was a relaxed atmosphere, busy but not chaotic. We absolutely plan to return, as their snacks and dinner menus also look really good.
TLDR; they gave my credit card to someone else, failed to return it, potentially tried to use it, and then called me a "little dick weasel" behind my back. Absolutely terrible business. I went to The Canary in Crown Heights with some friends on Thursday and opened a tab with my credit card. When I went to close my tab, the bartender told me that he had accidentally given my card to another customer and had that customer's card instead. Mistakes happen, so I was initially very understanding about it. I left my name, the last four digits of my card, and my phone number and asked them to contact me if the card was returned. The next day, the person who accidentally received my card found me on Facebook and messaged me directly. He confirmed that he had my card and said he would return it to the bar. I confirmed that was fine and that I would pick it up there. A few days later, he messaged me saying he had dropped the card off at the bar that afternoon. He even referenced the note I had left there. Despite this, the bar never contacted me. Later that night, I received an email showing an attempted transaction on the card at a grocery store near the bar. I'm not going to speculate about who attempted the transaction, but obviously that made the situation much more concerning. I went back to the bar Tuesday and showed them the messages confirming that my card had been dropped off. Initially, they told me they couldn't find it. The manager got involved, apologized, and told me he would look into it. About an hour later, the manager told me and said he had located my card and that I could come pick it up later that night. He gave me his personal number to coordinate the pickup. He also gave me a free beer and a burger so vibes were good for now. And then, while texting me to coordinate picking up the card, the manager accidentally sent me a message intended for one of his employees referring to me as a "little dick weasel." (See attached screenshot) At that point, I was over it. I canceled the card and have absolutely no interest in ever returning to this establishment. Mistakes can happen, that's fine we're all human. But the way this situation was handled was incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful, and frankly embarrassing for a business. Never go here!
Overall rating: 4.5 Wow I didn't know this place existed, must be new since I've moved out of the area. Very popular & my lower rating is driven by feeling like I was in Manhattan. Sigh. I was missing any form of culture. I ordered the wings which were delicious and yeah, I'll come back if I'm craving. I can't tell if they play folk music which would be cool. I found myself coming during trivia night so it was packed, but the bartenders were really nice.
Just what the neighborhood needed! This is the ultimate in Irish pubs . With some actual employees from the emerald isle. The Buffalo wings are the best in the area and you have to try the burger and fries. It has just the right lighting to make a night out with spouse or just friends and if you get there before 8pm you might get a seat at the bar . My wife came here and played trivia along with my mother in law. What a treat .
Best mojitos! So refreshing and delightful. Also had the pretzels with the different dips. Devoured it and forgot to get a picture - by the time I remembered it was too late. Super yummy. We ate outside during the block party and what a time. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. Would definitely return to try a few other items on the menu.
This is my neighborhood bar. When I think to myself "I want a drink," this is where I think to go to. The bartenders here are cool and very talented. I'm bad with names, but the French bartender makers custom drinks and can speak to any palate. The food is high quality, especially for a pub environment. I've had the truffle cheese steak and the pretzel. Both were outstanding. The happy hour is a sweet deal, especially for Franklin avenue.
Went with my family, perfect for adults or adults with children! Has a bar and kitchen. I had a cheeseburger and Guinness on draft. Great service, will be back!
The Canary is a cozy neighborhood bar located in Crown Heights. It was a nice place to enjoy a cold beer and some good food after a picnic in Prospect Park. Service was friendly and accommodating. I sprained my ankle and was wearing a medical boot so the server immediately asked if we wanted a table in the back-that was really nice. They have a good selection of beers on draft including several local options. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful and came with a good portion of thick cut fries. The fish 'n chops were also tasty. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. Cheers!!
Celebrated my birthday here and we ended up staying the entire night instead of going to a second place, like we had agreed to. Although our food was delayed, it was reaaally good, and our drinks were coming fast. Really loved the vibe of this place, and they were also playing great music!
Awesome happy hour and great espresso martini. Vibes are impeccable. Haven't tried the food yet, but looking forward to it.
The Canary is a great addition to the neighborhood! We came here for happy hour and had a nice time. They have great happy hour deals ($10 signature cocktails and $6 well drinks and select wine). I got the watermelon drugstore and the gardener's gimlet and both were tasty and a great value. We also ordered the pretzel, and although it was delicious and seemed freshly made, it was smaller than we were expecting for the price. Happy hour usually goes until 8pm on weeknights, but it goes until 9pm on Wednesdays. I was surprised at how busy it gets on weeknights! They also have trivia on Mondays and taco Tuesdays.
A time was had , it's definitely a small cozy bar. Our server was amazing , I had the Philly cheese sandwich I believe it was . It was so good !, I highly recommend!. I didn't give a 5 star due to it being so tightly cramped for our party of 5.

Stopped by again but this time for Taco Tuesday happy hour! We ordered margaritas, tacos, nachos, and loaded fries. It was all great! The meat alternative (impossible meat) was also really good! It's a small intimate place where each table has a candle light. It can get noisy but that adds to the ambiance. Service was great! read more

In short: cocktails were a bit underwhelming but food is tasty. Came here for brunch on a weekend and place was pretty empty; no reservation needed (don't think they even take them). Ordered an espresso martini and an Irish coffee and can't say I was that impressed with either, but enjoyed both entrees we ordered. Was missing the full English breakfasts I had while in the UK (one of my favorite aspects of English food), so I got the traditional Irish breakfast and it definitely satisfied my craving. Surprisingly, I found myself really enjoying the black and white puddings (have never been the biggest fan in the past). Thought they were seasoned really well. Eggs (over easy) were cooked perfectly and sausages were yummy; beans were good too. Kerrygold butter was a nice touch. My sister's truffled scrambled eggs were also delicious (great flavor, very fluffy). Her side salad was fresh and nicely dressed as well. read more
A delightful addition to the array of restaurants and bars on Franklin Ave! The Canary is a new bar with the style of a classic Irish pub but the feel of something more modern. Happy Hour runs til 8 every day (9 on wednesdays), and there are other daily events including Taco Tuesdays and Trivia Mondays, which I plan to check out soon. I came for happy hour around 6:30 on a Thursday. Had no trouble getting a table for two, but it did start to fill up pretty soon afterwards. The drink I ordered, the Gardiner's Gimlet, was only $10 and delicious. Cucumber and basil meshed perfectly with the gin to create a smooth, refreshing cocktail. There is a food menu but I didn't order anything, so I can't speak to any food items. read more

Great place with a chill vibe, good drinks, and food. I had the pleasure of hanging at the canary for my friends birthday get-together. We had a nice time catching up. A few rum and cokes and the Buffalo wings hit the spot. The birthday man had a good time between the beers, cocktails, food, bartender, and server. The canary is a definite place to check out. read more
Such a cute wee place in the neighborhood, I'm so glad it opened! It was very festive when I was in over Christmas and felt really cozy and homely. The staff are so friendly and attentive, with a good selection of drinks. I loved the curry chip and sausage rolls! Was just like being back in Ireland. I can't wait to come back! read more

Quick vibe before dinner. Tequila martini was fantastic. Would highly recommend before show or reservations. read more
Ambiance 10/5 I wish this place gets more attention, but at the same time, I hope this place can stay hidden as well so it will never get crowed. I came here on a Sunday night, and the have a small band here playing Irish music. It was such a happy vibe and it had made you want to stay longer and don't want to leave Drink 5/5 Cocktails are a hit or miss, but I like the fruity drink I ordered. Service 5/5 I honestly think everyone looks so happy and nice here is because the music. 10/10 would come back again read more

This is our second time here, and it's just as good as the first! We used to live down the block before they opened about a year ago, so we had to check it out. Came on St Pattys Day for a Guinness and we were happy to see the Premier soccer league on. Big soccer fans here, so that's why we came back a second time for brunch. Since we came for a soccer game, we decided to do the 90 minute bottomless for $25. It's already about the cost of 3 beers ($7-9 each) but also includes bloodys, mimosas and some beers, so it was perfect. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros (Mexican at an Irish pub - it was good!) and the Truffle Scramble with Prosciutto. Loved the later, eggs were super fluffy and the truffle butter on the English muffin was perfectly subtle. This place was packed on St Pattys (including live music!) and definitely gets busy after 12/1pm. No doubt it'll get more popular as word gets out, especially for soccer fans as there are ample tvs throughout. The owner Red also makes a presence and ensures everyone's having a good time. Great service. Yummy food. Wonderful atmosphere. Great drink prices. Highly reccomend. read more
everything is cool...gonna give this place a 5 star rating based on Carl and then Lizzie. I walked in with a friend and Carl was so nice to greet us and we felt totally at home. Of course he was nice, he was Irish! Of course, I ordered a guiness. The pour was great and my friend ordered a Mo Margarita MO problems cocktail. She thought it was kind of weak but was promised to toughen it up next time. Ordered Marcona Almonds, Truffle cheddar pretzel and the burrata cheesesteak. All quite good.. Definitely a place to return often! read more
