It's a really crowded bar with only two bartenders, and with terribly overpriced beer. The menu says one thing, but the wall says that cheaper version of what you want is not available, so you get up charged. I'll give it the four stars, because, whatever they allow kids, so I was able to take my kid in his stroller. read more

Love this spot! It is so spacious and it has that neighborhood bar feel. The bartenders are always super nice. It is also perfect for large groups as you don't need reservations. They sometimes even host events in partnerships with a salsa studio, and have a food vendor some days. However, they will allow outside food so you can always just bring what you want (can't beat that)! Lastly, contrary to the name, they actually have a good wine selection and have spirits for cocktails. read more

Beer Street South - Watermelon Frosè - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Delicious crispy pils italiana beer w a chaat dog (SO GOOD!). The beer had a delightful and subtle wheat-originating sweetness to it (idk how to describe this well, was not actually sweet tasting but almost infused w a sweet flavor if that makes sense). Was olive and i's SECOND veggie hot dog of the day (first was at poetry reading few blocks away where u got a hot dog if you read a poem. I read one i found on the subway in korea - they were taking submissions from elder seoulites and displaying them in the tunnels, it was beautiful). The cucumbers were inoffensive but not super flavorful somehow like maybe they were just too watery or something. I LOVE BEER! read more

Nice bar with lots of different beers on tap. Sadly, they're not dog-friendly (beer street north is!). They now also have a chaat dog pop up on the weekends that I didn't want to miss. We tried the Chaat Dog with Potato and with Pineapple. The chaat twist comes in forms of toppings which are a fun twist, but nothing overly special. Still didn't mind being able to grab a bite with my beer read more

Great Service and great beer. The place has a very nice decor The Bartender was and knew about beer read more

I came to the place as I was waiting for a reservation nearby. It was quiet on a early Sunday so it was on the emptier side. Plus it was an open streets day so people were enjoying the relatively warm day. The inside felt like it had air conditioning or at least cooler than outside which I appreciated. The food menu was light in terms of options but definitely more filling in options. I had the glizzard of Oz (I was barely able to say that out loud with a straight face) only since my dinner reservation was coming up but I hadn't eaten anything prior. It was a good hot dog and I was fine paying $6 for it. They don't always have food available so I came at time where they did In terms of the beer and alcohol options, I had a fine time. The beer options on tap rotate and the bartender helped me determine what I should try. I knew I wanted a white beer that is on the fruity side. The beer I had was a pride release (wild East "pack of lions"). And it was pretty good for me and my tastes. They don't do free samples but have cheap 4 oz pours which is fine to me especially if you want to taste a bunch. I switched over to a 4 oz of cider (sundstrom). They had other options like sake, wine and kombucha but I wanted something with small pours for my first time. Overall, the vibes and aesthetics of the place make it fine for a sweet date night or hanging out with friends. I think it is more focused on the beer than other beer halls that have sports. This is a cute option on Vanderbilt Ave. read more

This spacious, elevated brewpub in prospect heights was a really pleasant find! The interior is really well done -- lots of space, but they preserve a warm overall vibe even with the many, many seating options spread throughout the large room. The bartenders were great, really knowledgeable about beer and very focused on quality. They even checked each glass before every pour, gotta love that attention to detail. The beer list is impressive, with plenty of options on tap. Definitely something for everyone in terms of variety of styles. It was a bit pricey, at $13 a pour for a nicer local beer, but still a good spot for a few good beers with a group! read more

Always has the best selection of craft beers. The staff are very knowledgeable about their extremely extensive menu. The ambiance is fantastic and neighborhood-y. read more

Service was very poor and bartenders were very hostile and unfriendly. One bartender (short and in hat) was borderline trying to fight patrons at 5pm. Bar was very dirty and disorganized. Much better options around the neighborhood. read more

Really neat spot - we came on a Friday night while waiting for our dinner reservation and really enjoyed it! We tried quite a few beers (love when places do smaller pours to build your own flight) and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. Interstellar was playing on the projector. read more

Covid Review! We sat inside but there was outdoor seating too. We were temped as soon as we walked in and then sat around the periphery of the restaurant. No tables in the middle were sat. We had plenty of space and privacy The bartender and server were both nice. They casually mentioned snacks and later it seemed like a food order of some kind was necessary and they recommended the spanish nuts. They are terrible haha. Most of them arent crunchy and they are loaded with cajun spices but they did not complement our drinks. I suggest grabbing a food menu or for the restaurant to stop serving that all together. But it was a small detail so i will not be removing a star. The server was knowledgeable about the selection. A lot of local brews and interesting wines as well. Overall pleased with the quiet nice out during these trying times. Oh tax is removed on cash payments. And they opened a month before covid! Support these unlucky business owners! read more

Nice and large beer place! They had about 12 or so various beers on tap. I had a hazy IPA, which was decently good. Expect NYC pricing, because that's what you'll get. read more

This place has quite a collection of local craft beers on tap available, but sadly I'm not a huge fan of beer, so I decided I'd go for one of their ciders, although I wasn't sure which one to try. When I asked about them, the bartender warned me that they're not your typical cider, so he graciously let me try one even though he said he normally doesn't give samples. I wasn't a huge fan, so I asked if I could try the other cider, to which he looked a bit upset, but did allow me to sample it. In the end I chose the Anxo cider to get a glass of. I liked the vibes in the place, including the decor in the bathrooms. Always a fan of having a sink outside of single stall bathrooms too. I liked the music that was playing while we were here too, so overall I'd come back. read more

Hi Jenny C from Berkeley, CA. I'm sorry you had a bad experience because your "3-yr old, who wandered into the exit-way amid a bad meltdown" was turned away from the bar. Imagine for a minute what would have happened if the bartender had acted different and had let your "super-irritating" screaming child into the bar IF other patrons were present. You would've left a 5-star review for the establishment being so accommodating, and everyone else present would've left a 1-star review because of YOUR screaming 3-year old child. From an outsider's perspective, this is definitely a Karen moment... That said... I stopped by Beer Street South this evening to watch Game 6 of the NBA Finals. It was not crowded at all and there were plenty of tables to sit around at. When the fourth-quarter came about, the bartender was more than happy to change the house speakers from music to the game audio. Nice! There's a huge beer selection here, so no matter what your beer preference is, you're certain to find something you like. I ordered a carafe of the Finback "Banana Drip" Imperial Stout -- notes of bananas, coffee, vanilla, and peanut butter, and it's honestly one of my favorite beers to date. 10/10 would order again. If you're a beer lover, do yourself a favor and stop by here! read more

Wide selection of local craft beers on tap. When we were there, they had Grimm, Interboro, Kills Boro, Equilibrium, Finback, Other Half, Transmitter, KCBC, Drowned Lands, Evil Twin, Greenpoint, and more. One of the best local selections around. Lots of whiskeys and spirits too plus wine and cocktails on tap. Space is huge. Plenty of room for very large groups along with some more secluded knocks for those seeking an intimate setting. Four gender neutral restrooms. Plus a communal sink located outside the toilet so you don't need to go inside the toilet to wash up. Bartenders were quite friendly and it looked like there's were already some regulars even though the bar is relatively new. Service was quick. read more

Incredible daytime spot with lots of room and great beer. The bartender, Wes is super knowledgeable and welcoming. Love this place!

My friend brought around 80-90 people there today (a rainy Saturday around noon). She made reservations with the owner for her kid's birthday party and had an open bar for a few hours. A magician came and I asked the bartender to turn down the music at the magician's request. He barely touched the volume and responded that it wasn't a buy out party. There was only one couple there that wasn't with our group. The music was unnecessarily loud. After paying a large tab, my friend asked him if he could at least turn the music down for happy birthday which he obliged. The bartender gave off a very bad vibe. Later I learned that no one from management told him about the party, but this wasn't my friend's fault and they brought in significant business on a day that the bar would be basically empty. I hope this doesn't happen to another family. read more

Great place to drink top quality beer. Highly recommended. I like that they prioritize beer from NY breweries.

Large new beer spot on the bottom floor of a residential complex doling out a considerable selection of brews as well as spirits. Still plenty of seating both inside and out with an immediate safety check as soon as you walk in. Was able to snag seating by the windows and came to the front bar area to order. Beers on draft range from $8-10 for 14-16oz, and $4-9 for 3-8oz. Good variety overall in the beers, and if that's not to your fancy, there are plenty more in can/bottle as well as a full bar of items. Only drawback was there was only one red wine option (which was chilled). For food, got some obligatory peanut mix that was fine to pair with the drinks. Service here started off well, but took more time as the night went on. Nice spot for a hangout in the area, seems like you can bring food in as well. read more

The guy who is the bar back is the most miserable obnoxious individual in the world. We came into this place on Saturday with kids and he was so rude. He said we had too many strollers and that he didn't want the kids running around (the kids were all sitting and watching movies). When we gave the kids snacks he came up to us and said "who is going to clean this up?!?" (Obviously we were going to clean up) ... the table next to us broke a glass and he refused to clean it up... He kept saying that the place was going to be get really busy ... it was not busy at all... they had that guy working and two bartenders... you aren't busy... you simply need to staff more people... go to The Bilt bar across the street...they are cool about kids, have sports and some great wings. read more

Hot new beer bar on Vanderbilt. As you'd expect the selection is phenomenal, and extensive. The space itself is airy, and the music is super chill. I can only imagine how popular thus place is going to be in the near future, it's perfect for a group. Also it's proximity to Barclays is decent, and I'd absolutely recommend this place for a higher end pregame spot. The prices are reasonable for the high end beers they're serving, but I hope you like beer, because anything other than that gets pricy quick (the half of cider was 11$). It's byo food, which I love, so that's a huge plus in my book. Come here with a group, stay for high end beer read more

Brand new beer bar!!! They have an amazing selection of beers (including a lot of local ones). All sort of styles, including sours (which I am still obsessed with). I had some Hudson Valley, TRVE, and some other craft scene favorites. You can do flights, half pours, or full size pints. For the nicer stuff, the prices can get up there, so I recommend doing a flight and trying some things out. They seem to have a fully stocked liquor bar, but not sure if they're serving yet. They have a few wines available as well, but the main attraction is the beer. The space is also pretty big, so it's great for groups. Plus it's BYOF! read more

Ended Thursday night at Beer Street South. They had an interesting beer list, but I could not get around the strange space. It was too large and cavernous for a beer bar, which made it feel cold and unfriendly. Quality: Beer Street South had an interesting beer list, providing some unique and diverse selections of draft beers. They focused around New York area breweries, but placed emphasis on sours and dark beers. I went with a Logsdon Baltic Porter, a rich dark ale, which was a nice nightcap. I also got a few sips of a Wild East Nitro Oatmeal Stout. Quantity: Tough to see it on the beer list, but they offer full, half, and taste size pours. Value: $9-$12 for Draft Pours. Ambiance: Beer Street South is the second location of this beer bar, this one located in Prospect Heights. It is a much larger space than the original and I feel like it takes a lot of the coziness away from it. This massive space feels more like where there should be a bank or a Chipotle. Huge windows and high ceilings and a space that seems like it will rarely fill up. Small details like the array of candles and copper piping added a little personality, but still it felt very manufactured. Crowd: A small crowd, but the size of the space made it feel empty. Service: The bartender was super energetic, but seemed upset when I didn't take his advice about an alternative to a kicked beer. Parking: Tough to find street parking nearby. read more

Came here for a quick outdoor beer during a warm weekend in October, randomly. The beers on tap were great and the setting was nice, but the indoors looked even nicer -- I really liked the dark interior and steel seating. However, the service was just a bit...unpleasant. The bald bartender was uninterested and condescending the entire time, so, just a fair warning to keep it quick and not try to strike up any conversation. read more

FYI- Now an adult only place! Went here as a quick place to get a drink while some friends and I fed our kids dinner. I had been told this was a kid friendly place. My son ate for a bit and then started walking around the restaurant and the bartender told us to control our kids and they can't walk around. I did my best to keep my 2 year old close to our table and finish up quickly, but the bartender was incredibly rude and made it a lot worse by being so not understanding of the situation. He said this isn't a daycare, you should take your kids to a playground. Do you think I like the experience of trying to get my son to sit still? Where do you think we just came from? I also don't want my son to be disturbing the three other people in there getting a drink on a Monday at 6pm! Anyway, could not believe how rude the bartender was to us, would not recommend going here with or without kids, but especially not if you have kids. read more

After making condescending comments about my daughter from behind the bar to me on the sidewalk, the bartender basically shut the door on my 3-yr old, who wandered into the exit-way amid a bad meltdown. As the parent of a toddler and resident of this neighborhood since pre-kids + before this bar existed, I totally get that a screaming child is super-irritating (and the last thing I want to hear when I'm out for a beer w/friends). But also, let's be honest, the bar was already completely empty inside. As a business operating in prospect hts, you should know your audience, and that includes neighbors w/young kids passing by on the way home from preschool, who might be having a tough minute. Instead of going out of your way to make them feel like trespassers in their own neighborhood, maybe next time, try to lose the attitude and show a little basic respect. Until then, this place will never have my business. read more

The bartender was extremely rude and racist. Their selection of drinks sucks as well. Stay away! read more

For beer lovers this is a crazy spot. It's Beer week. Suarez Brothers is a hard to find beer and they are featuring 14 varieties which is insane, basically 2 max is what you will find at the best beer bars. The space is designed way better than the neighborhood so this is great. Christian the bartender gets it, service, space etc. Expect this place too get too busy, maybe a bit uncomfortable. If it's slammed don't buy a 4oz beer and think you can walk back and get immediate service when it's busy. Go into this knowing yes it may be busy, it might take 5-10min to get a drink when it's full and order accordingly. If you don't and you think it's all about you when it's busy you might be unhappy. read more

Everything you'd want in a craft beer bar. Lots of open seating, tons of rotating taps and even a full bar for those that don't want beer.

Cool place. Like the decor and layout. Was a bit chilly inside, but they have big windows so may have been less insulated. Huge variety of beers. Also have cocktails and wine. Nice to grab a beer. read more

This spot is brand new, it's only been open a few weeks. I love the space, it's big, wide open with massive windows looking out on Vanderbilt. They have a great selection of amazing craft brews and a full bar. I saw a couple of tired hands brews on the menu which are hard to find, with a price to match the rarity. The owner and bartenders are super helpful, friendly and knowledgable. Looking forward to coming back. read more
