Came here a week ago on a Tuesday night around 10 for drinks. The place was quite packed...snagged the last two seats at the bar. Now, I love Brooklyn and it has many amazing things going for it, but bars with good weeknight crowds are not one of them. So it was off to a good start from the beginning. The bar has a great draught beer selection. I had a couple of IPAs (the brewer is escaping me) which were only $4! Great deal for a good beer. Not sure what the others were going for. My friend had a couple of Absolut cocktails which I believe were only $6 each...pretty decent. Didn't try the food so can't comment on that. The place had a nice cozy feel to it. The crowd was mostly made up of Pratt students and locals, but still had a nice range of ages. In summary: I approve of this bar and will likely be back to enjoy more delicious beers. read more

I don't understand the reviews here, this is a pub and for the two years I've been in the hood the food has been on point. Literally. the. best. bloodmary. you. will. put. in. your. mouth. - this bumps them to 5 stars. read more

As one of the biggest fans of an amazing Bloody Mary, I must say I have located a rare gem.! This place is by far the BEST Bloody Mary I've ever had.!! There is a variety of food options on the menu, by the House burger is to die for! It was cooked to perfection and so tasty; a combination of robust flavors activating every one of your taste buds. As far as service is concerned, I hope you all are as lucky as I was to be served by this young man named Marc. I know I'll be coming back on Saturdays from now on to spread the wealth this place has to offer! read more

Brooklyn Public is wonderful and has been nothing but that since I moved to the hood a couple months ago. At first, it may seem on the pricey side for a bar, but holy crap, they make the best burgers and onion rings I have ever had. And I have extremely high standards for those. Come to think of it, the chef there deserves a big hug. Some of their specials are to die for. I once had a sandwich of beef braised in beer, slathered in rich bbq sauce and falling-apart tender. I wanted to melt just eating it. Plus, I rarely feel awkward going there alone, it's easygoing at the bar and the three bartenders I usually see have always been cool. read more

I've been there a couple of times is down the street from were I live. It's amazing that their kitchen is open till 2 am. For the last 2 times I visited I had the luck of the same waitress who is plastic not very friendly, o find her to be very cold and bored with her job. If it wasn't for her maybe I would have given them 4 stars. Her name is Kalle I will go back again. So they say it's a full bar, but they can't make the drinks you want.... read more

This is an awesome pub for when you're looking to relax and just unwind. The service is great, the happy hour deals are tops, and interior is cozy. Their caear salad is great but so is their mile high nachos. Try both! read more

Perfect happy hour spot. Be warned that deals are only on beer, though. Not too loud, 90's-00's rock, plenty of room whether you want a table or spot at the bar. Bartenders were all pleasant and seemed to be experimenting on each other with new cocktail recipes. No idea what it's like during peak weekend times but would give it a shot! read more

I am labelling this my new official haunt. BK Public has an lovely, inviting facade, which welcomes you into its cozy clutches, where you will be served beer from an extensive list, picklebacks, and food that always comes out fast, fresh, and delicious. The calamari is a star, always arriving crisp (not soggy), in a wonderful batter and generous portions. In addition to the usual marinara sauce, they plate it with a spicy aioli, which is awesome. (When is mayonnaise not?) The servers all seem a bit glum, but the bartenders usually balance it out with a consistent cheeriness. The crowd is cool, chill, and typically rather fashionable, though not at all pretentious. Love you BK public. I will give you lots of my money before I'm done with you. read more

This is my ol' reliable for where I work. I only come here for lunch and I always get the turkey chili and chicken salad sandwich lunch special. I did get adventurous and tried their burger along with two of their salads one day and that was a mistake. HUGE mistake. The raspberry vinaigrette tasted like Robitussin and the meat on the burger was dry and tasteless. Stick to their lunch specials, omelettes, and mussels. read more

Such a cute little neighborhood pub. The drinks are excellent and the food is delicious. My friend and I had calamari. I had the public dog (bacon wrapped w melted cheese), onion rings, and the Brooklyn lemonade. So yummy. The onion rings were the size of my head with a great spice. My friend had the St. Germaine martini and the wings. Both of our drinks were amazing. If I lived in the area I would definitely be here on a regular basis. read more

I lived in London for a year and loved the pub fare. I also loved The Chip Shop in Brooklyn - the closest thing to British pub fare close to home. But it closed. Thankfully, before it did, I discovered the Brooklyn Public House. While not a "British Pub," it does have the requisite Bangers and Mash, and Fish and Chips. And they are actually extremely close to the real deal. They also have food my kids will eat, which makes this place even more likable. So this is my new favorite place to wax (and eat) nostalgic about my London days. read more

Great neighborhood bar in Ft. Greene. A fair amount of seating with a fun Irish pub feel. The food is quite good, especially for bar food. I tried the lobster macaroni and the pulled pork sandwich, which were both very hearty and comforting. They actually put a fair amount of lobster in the macaroni which was very delicious. The price is a bit on the higher end for bar food, expect about $15-$20 per entree at dinner. But otherwise, a nice place to hang out, have dinner, grab a beer, and watch a game on TV. read more

This is the best bar in Brooklyn, by far. The (Irish) staff are amazing, the food is amazing, their wine and beer selection, everything. And they make the best Irish coffee in New York (even better than Dead Rabbit). I would come here every day if I could, it's a real home away from home. read more

Excellent burgers, Awesome atmosphere, Love the playlist, Service is top notch, Clean, Fresh ceasar salad, Very good lentil soup, Fair prices. The only 2 things I would fix - eggs were kinda boring and not worth their price, and one beef stew dish that was unchewable. Still I'd go back for a lot of other benefits. read more

I came here with a large group of my classmates after a long first week in our graduate program. They took very good care of us here, and besides being a bit crowded, we had a really great time. It may not be the best venue for large groups, because we were crowded together, sweating, and clearly in the way of the wait staff and customers trying to reach the seated area of the restaurant. That being said, they had a decent beer selection and it seemed like a relaxed, comfortable environment. I would definitely come here for drinks again - maybe with a smaller group - and I certainly want to go back to try the food, because ish looked GOOD. read more

I hate writing short reviews, but: Speckled Hen on tap. (there's nothing else I need to say) read more

This is a really great pub to go to for a beer and a burger. I've been several times and will keep going back, they have a nice draft selection and the food is pretty good too... The staff here are great and really nice. I like it so much I even celebrated my birthday here! The cocktails are decent (since they're measured) and the calm atmosphere of the place is pleasing. Nice spot to go and and just hang for a while. read more

Good, solid pub fare that is sure to please everyone. My friends and family from out of town all consider this to be one of their favorite restaurants when they come down to visit me. The beer selection is quite good and service is extremely consistent, even during peak hours. Sometimes the wait for a table can be a bit long on Fridays, but otherwise it is pretty easy to find a seat. read more

Brooklyn Public House - Pubs Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here before the Amon Tobin show at the Masonic Temple. Had a quick beer & shot of Woodford with the Fish & Chips to split (we were running really late for the show and this was right around the corner). Food was great, staff was amazing, beer selection was ok, but being not a beer bar that was acceptable. Our first visit was memorable enough that we came back after the show for more beers, more Woodford and more food. The prices are not what one would think of for NY prices (makes me think of home in Bmore), and the Wings when we had them on our second visit that night were amazing. A little spicy, a little sweet and perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back next time we are in NY. read more

Two things: 1.) the nachos are WHOA. Get the steak, probably med/med-well. 2.) the burgers are CHEWmongous. Great selection of liquors compared to your fellow Fort Greene proprietors, and ample seating. Melikes! read more

I wandered into the place late at night with a party of 4. It was my godsister's birthday and she really wanted to go there. She kind of had a back and forth with the waitress about ordering a steak. The waitress checked in with kitchen and they finally agreed to cook a steak for her. I ordered a hamburger with gruyere cheese. A mistake. Burger taste ok. But gruyere was too salty. My godsister asked me to try the steak. Was utterly shocked. It was the best steak I've ever had outside of Japan! I can't speak for other things on the menu. But go for the steak! I'm giving them a 5 star rating over that damn steak. It was really that exceptional. read more

I used to really like this place. They have the best burger in the neighborhood. But I can't enjoy it anymore because the service is atrocious, namely from the bartender Aoife. It goes beyond bad to actually create a hostile environment. When she first started working she was pleasant enough, even joking how she was Peter's replacement and they're from the same town in Ireland. But now for some unknown reason she acts extremely rude towards me. Please bring Peter back and restore the former glory. read more

I went to the soft opening Wednesday. Arrived about 6:15 and yes it was packed. But, I found a nice space to lounge in the front with old friends. I was still able to peep the ceilings, the horizontal layout, the antique looking wall paper and loved the whole vibe. I want to come back when its nice so pack to check out the side tables and even the back dining area. I saw a chef tossing dough so I'm curious at how good those pies taste. I did manage to make my way through the crowd for a bathroom run. Its cute, clean and didn't give me the creeps. Hey, bathrooms say a lot about a place. Lets see how it holds up. I had a glass of wine - red cab - very good. I'm coming back to this place for more wine and the food. read more

Good selection of quality beers and mixed drinks. The food is better than the usual bar fare. My favorites burger and fries or mussels. I can't get my jaws around this thing so that gives you and idea of how big it is. It even comes with onion rings. The mussels always taste fresh and it comes with a flavorful broth to dip bread in. Best of all, they serve Steve's key lime pie! I like the atmosphere. The music is just right, the service is attentive, and it's a good crowd. I usually find myself here after work to chill out, enjoy good food and people watch. I've taken friends out here and my boyfriend and I used to hang out here from time to time. No matter where I end up, I somehow find myself back at this place even if I don't live in the neighborhood any more. read more

I've been here 5 or 6 times, and I really enjoy it. Take it for what it is, a joint with a really good beer selection and a so-so menu. The food is good, but it's pretty much bar food, so keep the expectations in check. As one of my friends put it, if you take away the food, it's pretty much only a step above a dive...This was not meant as a criticism, by the way. I've sat at the bar and at a table and the service has always been great. I like that they let you sit at a table and drink without eating - or after you're done eating - and don't rush you out. Which shows that they obviously know what their strength is. read more

The place was full on a Thursday night. Cute place, dimly lit. Good music and no ambience-killing flat screens on the wall. Great Beer Menu. They were out of the Coney Island Python I ordered, but the waitress recommended the seasonal pumpkin ale. I told her I didn't usually like pumpkin ales, but she insisted and dang... she was right. The burgers here are killer. Public House burger is stacked like 7 inches high with fixins and onion rings. It was really good. I had it with the salad and I was really impressed. For a just side-salad it was a really nice selection of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries- Very tasty. Prices are a bit high for the quantity of food ($11 for a little plate of bangers n mash?), but I had a really great experience here. read more

This is a solid pub, it's what you want when you're looking for a good bar, good food and good folks. I've been here a handful of times at random hours of the day (late night, early eve on weekdays and weekends) and it's always a good time. I'm not the biggest beer drinker but I'm usually with folks who are and they love the selection. The food is great, a step above good bar food and they have a lot of options (for when I'm anti-meat). I just really like that when you walk in, you know you're at a great bar. The bar itself is usually rockin' with folks having a nice time and when you step further back into the dining area it's what you expect to see, wood floors, booths, a good amount of dining tables and dim lighting. Keep it up Brooklyn Public House, you guys know what you're doing! read more

Went here after midnight, looking for somewhere to have good food, nice drinks, and just hangout, after being thoroughly disappointed at another place. Mission accomplished! I kept it simple with a burger and fries, but my burger was juicy and tender, and fries were golden and well seasoned! My new favorite drink, The Dark and Stormy, was on point!!!! Server was polite and helped with any and all questions on the menu. Will certainly be back next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Brooklyn Public House - Having a great time!!!! - Pubs Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am a huge fan of Brooklyn Public House! It's usually the safe late night dinner spot that my boyfriend and I can always depend on. The reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the last experience I had. I was so disappointed. I ordered the mussels which I normally love at this place but when I started to eat them they were very mushy and tasted a little off. This was very out of the ordinary because I am usually very happy with this place. In fact, I never know what to order because I love everything so much! They handled the situation in the best way possible and took the mussels off my bill while apologizing. I still recommend Brooklyn Public House, as I think this was a rare occurrence and it won't stop me from going back! read more

Please note: I was drunk and had already eaten dinner before skipping into this place. Now with that being said....Brooklyn Public House is awesome! Since part of the night was a blur, this will be short. Here's a list of why this place rocks: 1. I was attracted to its window like a moth to a fire. I was walking on the other side of the street and had already walked past it. Moth. To. A. Fire!! 2. Open late. I understand bars are open late, but when you want to eat and continue drinking at the same time, you find that the selection is rather slim. 3. Great/friendly staff! I pranced into this place and pretty much handed the bartender my phone with charger attached. Needless to say, my phone was fully charged by the time I walked out of the place - AWESOME! 4. Great calamari. I eat a lot of this stuff. 5. Yummy wings. Another thing I eat a lot of. 6. For some reason I checked in and said I was there for breakfast. I say that's gotta count for something. read more

This place is great. Friendly attentive staff. The food was good, seemed like standard bar fare. It's super cute inside, I love the atmosphere: very turn of the century. I happened to go on a dark rainy night and the spiked hot apple cider really hit the spot. read more

I like pubs. I like the warm, relaxed, congenial atmosphere, the hand-drawn kegs, the dirty carpet, the walleyed neighborhood drunks and soggy beer mats... I was hella excited when I heard that there was a pub opening in the neighborhood. I couldn't wait to sit down with a pint and a bag of crisps and watch the footy. Alas, the Brooklyn Public House is not a pub. It's a yuppie bar. A yuppub. At least they serve typical British fare like bangers and mash, fish and chips, and ... wait ... three cheese quesadillas? Hot dogs? Come on, guys... you couldn't put at least ONE meat pie on the menu? And what is with the 80 million beers? Beer does go bad, you know. I don't trust a restaurant with a 10-page menu, and I don't trust a bar with a 2-page beer list. Just give me a few choice beers - an ale, a lager, a stout... and switch them up one in a while. I also demand hand-drawn kegs. And imperial pints. read more

My wife and I have been regulars here for a couple years. Good food and friendly staff. The best happy hour in the area (half priced appetizers and a good selection of $4 beers). Our favorite dishes are the nachos with chicken and the house burger. Thank you so much to Edda, Lucy, and the manager Kieran for always taking good care of us. read more

Had a really great time here with a group of friends, snagged the best seat in the house at a generously sized table by the window. Attentive service, seemed happy to have us there. The owner, Kieran, helped me decipher the bill and was super friendly and helpful about it. Will be back soon! read more

I'll be brief - this was my 1st sit down visit and i was in a rush for a quick bite before a meeting. Everybody obliged, cleared a table and had my food ready in no time. By far the best burger I've had in many years, served as requested -medium, an interesting salad with some cranberries, complimented the Delicious beefy burger, and some wonderful home made potato chips on the side. No questions about this pub, I have to return and flavor more. read more

Stopped in here starving at 3.30 on a saturday after shopping the Flea. Nice place and atmosphere, great service, ordered food and it literally came out 3 min. later and tasted amazing, Ordered a house salad with Shrimp. read more

I've been going here since it opened a few years ago. I always go when I have friends stay from out of town, because it is a standard pub, and there is nothing like that around the area. Their food is the average "bar food", they have tasty bangers over mash, fried calamari, and seared tilapia. They are also are one of the best spots to get mussels in the neighborhood. Most people come for a few beers, but they actually have a great whiskey selection, so ask! Great place for a group to get your drink on! Thumbs up!! read more

My boyfriend and I love this place. We moved nearby recently, so we were looking for new neighborhood spots. Happy hour is great since you get half off all appetizers and some of the beers (although mostly not the good beers...but that's to be expected). I love, love, love their House Burger, which comes with bacon relish and some other tasty toppings, and I love their steak sandwich as well. Actually, everything I've tried here has been super delicious. I also love the laid back vibe and the weird mix of music - lots of old 90s stuff! Definitely one of our new favorite places. read more

I've driven past this place several times and finally dropped in today. My iced chai latte was great. I'll have to go back

This was the a really great night with friends! The vibe is cozy and intimate but the space is much bigger than I expected. The staff is friendly and the food really surprised me! The wings were top notch! The steak was even better! And I was full but I finished my bread pudding a la mode! Eat up and chat it up! read more
