    Sake

    This place is the definition of a local's bar. Upscale beer bar vibes, as a non-beer drinker there wasn't much to pick from but they did have a locally made sake that was very tasty! My go to drink here for sure. Cash only, & you can order outside food to be delivered here

    Nice and chill beer bar in Brooklyn with a good selection of beers. I really like the ambiance and the cool owl decorations they have. The staff is really friendly and attentive too. Perfect spot to just grab a drink and chill.

    Had some drinks at The Owl Farm on Friday evening. They have a solid beer list and friendly staff, but I just was not a fan of the grimy space. Quality: The Owl Farm is a dependable beer bar, but it lacks a true draw. They have a good size tap list, it had fifteen beers and five ciders on it during out visit. It was also a good mix of local beers as well as old world beers, though I felt the actual varieties could have been more exciting. They also have an impressive list of cans and bottles, for those not moved by any of the beers on tap. And for non-beer drinkers there were a few wines and cocktails. During my visit I tried two beers and two ciders, Woodstock Baby Dragon and Saison DuPont, and then Phonograph Greening and Blackduck No Pasaran. The highlight of that group was the Phonograph Greening, a lighter cider with a beautiful balance. Quantity: The menu clearly delineates the size of the pours. Value: $10-$12 for standard Draft Beers and Draft Cider Pours. There are a ton of options, so it can vary widely if you are selecting bottles, cans, or specialty beers. Ambiance: The Owl Farm is located in Park Slope along 9th Street. Currently they have a few tables outside, but the busy area is not really a spot I would choose to sit outside. Inside they have a fairly large bar with some spread out stools, high-tops adjacent to it, and some tables behind that. The area with the tables also has a fireplace, and in the far back are several pinball machines. It is a very dark bar, and it has more of a dingy and dirty vibe than I was a fan of. It seemed to be trying to get that cellar feel, but it felt forced. There were also unfortunate smells that would waft through the bar every so often, similar to cleaning chemicals. It was especially bad in the back, but clearly made an impression across the bar. Crowd: It filled up relatively quickly on Friday evening. All the bar seats were taken as well as those outside, and the back seating area was becoming popular by the time we left. Service: The bartender was great, and was a lot more patience putting up with silly beer preference conversation than I would have been. Parking: Need to walk a few blocks to find a parking spot.

    A selection of ciders from across the world and some *interesting* owl themed decor, but a bit grimy.

Very moody, low lit place with a huge collection of vinyl along the bar wall. I had the Allison Road, made with gin, dry vermouth, apricot liqueur, and orange bitters, described as "A smooth and aromatic gin cocktail that walks the line between floral and fruity." 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. I came in for the vibes, but this would be great for a workspace as well.

    Overall rating: 4.8…read more Super cute spot near the Brooklyn museum. I already knew it was going to be a great place just by the other reviews, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be snooty or anything. Super chill, but very popular! My friend and I got lucky and got seats at the bar, but I could totally come here solo which is why I like it a lot! Beer is crafted and good. It's a tad bit bright but looks like people come to work, read a book or hang. The staff was really nice and I like how simple the menu is. I don't think I'd eat any snacks here, but I can try it out when I come back. Such a good find & highly reco!

Within 5 minutes, one of the employees comes outside to ask if I want to buy a drink. However, I'm almost finished with my lunch and answer no thanks, only for the employee to say in a huff, "Well, next time you should buy something if you want to use our seating." While I understand that as your business, you have the right to do this, it really just comes off as rude and condescending, turning what would've been a nonexistent interaction into a negative one that has completely soured my attitude toward this establishment. Considering that this establishment had roughly a dozen tables and 24 seats with only 4 seats or so occupied when I was around and I wasn't interfering with business on a slow afternoon, there shouldn't have been a problem with simply letting bygones be bygones. If this is what New Yorkers consider hospitality and acceptable behavior, no wonder people from most other states consider the population to be rude.
