We came in to enjoy a quick beer and were told we could not sit at the small table without ordering food. We were asked to leave the table and we complied. Eventhough there were plenty of empty tables throughout the establishment. We were moved to a cramped spot at the bar. Two other groups at the small tables were just having drinks. We asked them if they had ordered food or had been asked to order food and they said no. Coincidentally these groups were all men who were not inconvenient or asked to move. We understand if this is a restaurant policy but it should be applied to everybody equally. Both of my parents work in the industry. We understand the hardships of the industry but this was sexist and unfair. read more

Brooklyn Public House - Salmon salad. - Pubs Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Let me start by saying, this neighborhood pub is very fun. Great décor and theme, nice lighting, good food....but terrible service. I arrived for dinner with a friend around 6:30pm...it wasn't busy yet, so we got a nice booth table in the back. Our waitress took our drink and food order at the same time. My friend ordered the French Onion Soup as an appetizer, and the Shepherd's Pie for dinner. I ordered the large Mac and Cheese for dinner. About 15 minutes later...nice and quick...the soup came out. Along with some Turkey Chili...which was not ours. So we sent that back. Another 15 minutes went by and the Shepherd's Pie came out. But no Mac and Cheese. And we never saw our waitress at all during this half hour. After some time, I waved down another waitress, asked her about my dinner, and she went to check on it. Clearly it just wasn't put in with the kitchen. It did eventually come out, and it was very tasty...I ate every bite of the creamy spiral pasta. And we did see our waitress again...she kind of apologized, but not really. I'd go back again...but I was really underwhelmed by the service. read more

Great music, amazing staff, good food. That's all that you need for a good time. Pretty much become a regular.

Food is simple pub food - nothing noteworthy. The bar is cool but the waitress was really inattentive and unpleasant. They nickel and dime for EVERYTHING. $4 per cup of coffee with no refills and same for a seltzer water. They charged for salsa and sour cream sides. read more

Top notch local pub/bar with the best veggie burger in Brooklny. For a good evening (or lunch) out for food & drinks with friends or fam if you dont want anything fancy but some excellent food and a good spirit this is a place you can count on. The quinoa and black bean veggie burger is hands down the best veggie burger you will find in Brooklyn (better than Bare) and though I am veg three of my fam members say the fish & chips are too. Good albeit standard Gastropub selection. And the fiery brussel sprouts a nice touch. Service is usually good, though you may get a grumpy server here and there who just seems like he/she is simply dying to get home. But the food and vibe is worth it always anyway. TVs in both the bar and the main dining room so can catch a game as well. Plus 4 outdoor tables in the front when the weather is nice so can still go during covid albeit now space more limited. Though often busy and a reservation could be wise we have never had a prob getting a table (pre Covid). ....but they deliver as well including through Seamless. Appreciate the old school vibe and above all almost depend on that veggie burger now. read more

I really wanted to try out Brooklyn Public House from Instagram posts I've seen. They did not disappoint. Had the best fish and chips! Absolutely delicious. Now that I am in the neighborhood I will be going very often. Great service s well. Highly recommended. read more

2 words. No TV. 5 more words. Kitchen Open Till 2 AM. These facts combined with the all around awesome laid back vibe of Brooklyn Public House makes it an easy choice for me to yearn to swing by after work for beers and snacks. And the snacks are rockin! Full menu of mostly comfort food items. I've now had the burger a couple times - really no reason to order anything else, they have got this down pat. Cooked to order, and for onion ring fans see my photos. That sh!t is real! I've had the linguine special, wings, and also quesadilla - just to shake things up. All were delicious, but burgers are the ace menu item. Nice bar staff and waiters. Gets a bit busy at times and service can be slowish - but worth the wait especially if you are feeling leisurely. Which I also recommend. There are booths in the back, and also options for larger groups. Great for solos, pairs, or bunches - with no TVs there are no distractions. Love.this.place! read more

Bonus: trivia night on Mondays at 8pm! The Spending Spree ($13) was pricey for how small it was, but it was tasty. The salmon salad ($18) was generously portioned and delicious! The salmon had a perfectly crispy skin and the greens were dressed well. There's a good selection of reasonably priced beers as well. read more

This is one of the best places in Ft Greene to watch sports. It's good for people watching, too. The house burger is perfect. I don't really mess with the other food options, but it is generally good in a heavily fried way. Nice staff, decent drink selection, divey ambiance. read more

Been here multiple times for trivia and football games. New to the area and the staff is very attentive and welcomeing

That one waiter, I think he's Australian. Wow, he is hot.

A mustttt. I definitely know this is the neighborhood spot and worthy of the spot, great happy hour great staff and great atmosphere. If you're looking for something that's not the boujee craft cocktail place and just want to enjoy a few drinks with good people, this is the spot! Only ordered fries and they were great! Saw the rest of the food come out and it looked delish! read more

Fantastic! The muscles were more than delish and everything was tasty and way above par. Shoutout to our server Damian who just kept the round coming! Highly reccomend this place either as a bar or casual dinner. Will definitely be back! read more

Overpriced bad food. Got wings and chicken sandwich and chicken was weird. Ambience was fun and we sat in a big window seat booth.

Consistently great service. Go to spot for beers & apps - if you don't order the nachos, you're doing yourself a disservice. read more

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

As I write this review I am fully keeping in mind that it was St. Patty's day and being in the industry I understand that it can be a mad house; however our server is about 75% of the reason I gave 3 Stars. The window seat was perfect for the awesome weather so I would definitely recommend sitting towards the front during the day if you have the option. The drinks we ordered were The Paloma , and The Brooklyn Lemonade ( I switched out the Vodka for Tequila ). I'm not sure if they use all natural lime juice or not but the club soda totally took over the cocktail for me I thought it would be more of a topper but lesson learned. The Paloma has the same overwhelming feeling of too much club soda. I suggest beers / mixed drinks at this place. Guinness on draft is always great. Our server was busy so I won't fully blame her; however she seemed to have slight attitude when we asked questions about the menu. Also it was very hard to track her down which kept us there longer than necessary, I am pretty sure she forgot about us. Overall I think the holiday/ her feeling overwhelmed caused her to give about 2 out of 5 star service. The food was meh. I usually go for the nachos which are 5 out of 5 stars for me but we had the honey bbq wings, mozzarella sticks and the soup of the day which was Potato Leek. Mozzarella sticks were cool, the chicken was okay, they didn't feel like fresh wings. The food came out pretty fast for a place so packed which I was skeptical of but I'm figuring everything is pre made/ packaged. The special soup of the day was the best appetizer. Appetizers were a 3.5 out of 5 stars for me. For entree's we ordered mussels, the chicken club and the pulled pork sandwich. Again the wait time for food was less that 15 mins which was slightly weird but the mussels were just okay, the chicken club was extremely bland and after requesting the bacon well done it came out BURNT TO A CRISP, and as for the pulled pork sandwich it was also meh. Overall I would suggest this to someone looking for a more fancy diner, and I myself would probably only return for the nachos. Thank you for reading my review and good luck trying BPH . read more

The food and atmosphere here are both A+. The service however is unbelievably horrendous. I'm not talking about anybody being rude or anything it's more than you have to wait 15 to 20 minutes before someone takes your order, can never hail anyone down for an extra napkin or drink refill. The blonde lady behind the bar is pretty reliable but anyone else I've seen as a waiter or waitress should really be fired. It is disappointing because I really enjoy eating there but when it takes two hours just to get a bowl of soup and a sandwich get the check and get out of there I really can't justify it anymore. read more

This place is great! Fair prices, everything flavorful and cooked to perfection. Food came pretty quick. The nachos are to die for ! read more

Okay, first things first: THANK GOD THIS PLACE IS BACK! LAYOUT/VIBE: The physical space has been cleaned up --- fresh paint, newly sanded tables and floors, improved lighting, etc. That said, the charm and ambiance was left intact, and The BPH is very much the same pub (in spirit) that it was when I first fell in love with it years ago. STAFF: There is a new Irish waiter who is, plainly put, AWESOME. I didn't catch his name, but even though the place was fairly busy when my friends and I decided to drop in, he made a point of stopping by our booth several times throughout the evening to refresh our drinks and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The BPH staff has always been a notch-above-the-rest, and I am truly glad to see that the caliber of friendliness and attentiveness that I was accustomed to didn't fall by the wayside in the change over. MENU: Since re-opening, they've trimmed the menu down to what I imagine were their top-20 items. I'm a little sad about this, because the P.E.I. Muscles are no longer available. From a business standpoint, I totally understand what the new management is doing --- they "cut the fat" and are building their business upon a foundation of main successes. I opted for the Fish and Chips, and having recently returned from England, I can confidently tell you all that they NAILED this dish. I've not had mushy peas this "authentic" since Derbyshire! (ATTENTION MANAGEMENT: My birthday is September 23rd, so please feel free to re-add P.E.I. Muscles on that night. I assure you, you'll sell them!) BEER: If there is one recommendation I have, it is that you treat yourself to a glass of BROOKLYN BLAST. It's served in one of those stemmed glasses (usually with CHIMAY written on the side), and is refreshing no matter the season. read more

This is a favorite neighborhood spot. The chicken wings and turkey chili are delicious! These might be my favorite wings in all of NYC. The service is usually good and they also often have my favorite beer Ithaca Flower Power. I hope to be a regular customer here for a long time! read more

Neighborhood Favorite!! Before the pandemic, it was a weekly ritual to get a sitter, head to the public house and enjoy happy hour drinks and a pile of nachos. Sometimes we got dinner, sometimes just drinks. BK Public House is a staple in the community and I'm grateful it was the first place I visited when I moved to Clinton Hill/Ft Greene. The best part is how accessible it is. A place I feel like I can afford to go weekly without breaking the budget. Don't sleep on happy hour, it's the best deal around! read more

They stole my change. That's a pet peeve of mine. The waiter said "I'll bring your change" then came back and said "You're all set." Huh? Stay away from takeout. I ordered the catfish sandwich with salad and the sandwich was dry, so was the salad. Absolutely no sauce or dressing. If you can't handle take out orders then don't offer it. read more

All I know is, the burger at this place is truly amazing. Got it with salad that was surprisingly delicious. I'm sold

Now THIS is what Sunday brunch is supposed to be about. After being disappointed elsewhere this weekend, I was glad to know that, "beef, real food for real people", is not going the way of the Dinosaur. Steak and Eggs are meant to be JUST LIKE THIS. (see photos) A big, juicy steak, with fatty edges, and eggs cooked properly. ($14) My salad, ($11) with chicken. (add 2.50) was actually filling and unbelievably satisfying. When you get real MEAL like this, who even notices, that there is no toast or bread, or biscuits. Includes a nice tumbler size bloody Mary that is very tasty. Very pleasant, prompt, and good follow up service. Brooklyn hearty brunch. Vindicated. read more

Food: Either a 2-RBI ground-rule double or an infield pop-up. I've tried the burger a couple of times, with the first- and second-half splits looking like the face of, well, Two-Face. Theoretically, the burger should work and when it does, it's beautiful: Fried onion ring, bacon, juicy burger cooked medium rare, and half-sour pickle on the side. But when it doesn't work, it's an overly salty, nearly inedible pile of amateur hour at its worst. The chicken BLT, I thought, was kind of inspired. Grilled chicken with avocado and bacon? Yes, please. I just hope that the next time I get it, it doesn't inexplicably suck. Drinks: A single or a sacrifice fly (in a blow-out game). It's nice, but also underwhelming. Being something of a pub, they have a decent selection of beer on tap and in bottles, from the crap (Bud, Coors, etc) to the local (Shmaltz, Six Point, Brooklyn, Old Saratoga, Checker Cab, and Blue Point) to the Belgian (Duvel, Chimay, and DT), but nothing surprising. Brooklyn Public House don't do happy hours, but they do have beer specials that run you for $3 or $4 per pint all evening. Yes, ladies, they do carry cider, Magners Cider, to be exact. Atmosphere & Style: A ground out or a strike out. The interior actually looks pretty nice, for being a phony Irish Pub. I say that it's phony mostly because it's in Fort Greene, and to me, there's nothing Irish about the neighborhood. I guess I'm ultimately disappointed in the lack of character and identity of the place. The joint might as well be yet another nicely decked out commercial chain or some nondescript Midtown shirts & ties bar. It's nice to have another bar option on DeKalb, but couldn't the owners of Brooklyn Public House have come up with something more interesting and original than a faux Irish Pub? read more

First of all, their happy hour is lit. $5 for well drinks, beers and wines! PLUS certain apps! Fort Greene who? Cheap ass happy hour. Our servers were also mad cute and attentive and the nachos were bomb. We actually came back at night and sat inside. Their music selection was great. Outside during the day for the sun and happy hour and inside at night for the music and vibes. I think this place is gonna be my new go to spot, tbh. read more

Pickle Back Shots. Uhh , that was my first and last time trying that. Look it up ahahaha. Nachos. I was pretty happy. The bar tenders were super friendly too. If I lived in Brooklyn, I would totally frequent this place. read more

This has recently become one of my favorite spots. They also play oldies, which I love! I wanted to stay longer just for the music. My boyfriend liked his food, the French dip which our waitress suggested but I found the catfish too salty. The service was phenomenal! The gorgeous bartender was quick and sweet! I'll definitely be making this my new spot. I wish the brunch didn't end so early we got there right at 2 and it was over. read more

Did they change the menu? I went to the opening day and the burger and fish n chips were totally different in their preparation than they are now. The original burger came on this cool artisanal type bread and pickles and mustard and fries and that's about it and it was quite good if a bit salty. the fish n chips came in this neat paper crown type thing that looked really good but now look a lot more normalish. Also the menu used to have pizzas but they seem to have vanished? The menu was pretty big when they started so I understand them scaling it back, but why did they change the burger from a unique one to a more generic bar style one? The service is good and the owners/manager guy was super friendly. read more

Let's just start by saying good pancakes & a free mimosa will make me a very happy patron...LOL! A couple of friends and I spontaneously decided to have brunch one saturday. The 3 of us shared a stack of pumpkin pancakes as an appetizer.. I know we are fatties. The pancakes where fluffy & light. I got the steak & eggs w/ potatoes brunch special which was pretty tasty. Now here is why they have 4 STARS! I noticed my eggs were very runny and wanted it to be cooked a lil bit more. I had eaten 1/3 of my steak & some of my potatoes by this time. Waitress says they can cook my eggs more & takes my plate. About 10mins goes by and we noticed that I didn't get my plate back. I notice a waitress walking by w/ a plate that looks like mine but it can't be. Maybe another 10mins go by and I'm like really 20 mins to cook an egg. We finally get our waiter's attention and she says i should have had it. She looks to the right and sees MY PLATE BEING DEVOURED BY ANOTHER CUSTOMER @ THE BAR!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL! She freaks and goes to the manager & other waiter. All my friends & I hear is " YOU GOTTA BE F***IN KIDDING ME." Our waiter comes back and apologizes profusely. She says they will make me a complete new order, which was only right seeing as if I didn't really eat it. I felt bad for the person who got my plate. However, don't you know what your plate looks like..unless you ate exactly the amount I ate.. LOL! The person is lucky I didn't pick up the steak w/ my hands and eat it like a caveman...LOL LOL! So 4 stars it is... you getting someone else's plate is a definite no no... even thought the food is delicious....LOL LOL LOL! read more

I have mixed feels about this place. Never get the cocktails--ordered a vodka cran and then some other cocktails from their menu, and I just should've known. DO order their punkin ale and breakfast stout. Their food--more like pub food. I wouldn't expect much, but it isn't great enough to justify their prices. I did get their chicken blt sandwich, and the only thing great about it was the guacamole on the bun (I just love guacamole). My friend got the burger with onion rings in it, and the onion rings are ginormous, and he seemed to enjoy it, so lucky him! The seating behind the bar is also waitress service so if you can't get a seat in the back, you can sit there. read more

I have to say a little pricey and at 9pm they only served finger foods. Food was really good but the staff was amazing. That is why I am leaving 5 starts. Only because of the staff. The tables outside are not standing straight (because the street is not straight) and chairs are uncomfortable so we asked to move inside and they carried our stuff back in with no problems. I have been eating out for 3 years since I moved to NYC and never have I ever been served by genuinely nice people. Usually everyone is fake nice because it is their job. These people are great people for real. Keep it up! We need more people like you guys read more
