This bar used to be a gem back in the day and we used to be regulars because we live in the neighborhood...but its complete garbage now. The Food sucks, bartenders are rude, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is dirty[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Only thing going for this place is the draft selection. Someone please buy this bar and save it. It makes me so sad to write this because we need a legit bar in this area... read more

The food, drinks and staff are all reliably great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is warm, classic pub[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. This past Wednesday, a bratty customer came in very late for a week night, demanding a drink. The staff handled it swiftly and well, but she instantly demanded to speak to the manager and began filming the fellow tending bar. The regulars were all "what is wrong with you?" and she left in a huff, boasting about the 1-star review she planned to leave. I see it here: E L with a photo of a dog wearing PPE.

Great Ale House on Henry St in Brooklyn Heights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy atmosphere reminding me of a traditional English pub, with a substantial selection of international beers on tap and as cans, and a typical pub menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portions are large and the service was friendly & quick. The Fish & Chips actually came as full filet rather than smaller pieces on a bed of excellent hand-cut fries with vinegar, plus a refreshing portion of coleslaw on the side. read more

It's your classic neighborhood pub. When we came in at 9:30pm on a Monday night, kitchen just closed unfortunately as I was craving fries. We ended up having some drinks for the night. I got a Jameson and Gingerale for $11, that's all. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Local pub feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Classics both drinks and bar food. Bartenders are pros. Fast, chatty, funny.

Stopped in here after walking the Brooklyn Bridge. A little off the beaten path but certainly felt like a locals only place. Asked for the juiciest IPA and got the Industrial Arts craft pour. It was great on a Saturday afternoon. They had the game going on the back. The vibes were nice and relaxing. No frills. Our server looked like the owner. He was nice and friendly, and did not pressure us to hurry up and go. The food smelled amazing and fish & chips smelled great. Will have to try next time in Brooklyn. read more

Very cool, older bar off the beaten path in Brooklyn. Not a lot of other bars in this area. Came in early Saturday afternoon, and it was not crowded at all, just a couple of guys having lunch. The food looked good. We were just there to get out of the cold and have a couple of beers. No frills here. Very casual, laid-back setting. One guy behind the bar. Looked like the owner. My son and I had the outstanding Brooklyn Lager. My wife had an old fashion. She said it was very good. Great hole in the wall experience. Food reviews look pretty good. Would definitely like to come back here on a future visit. read more

We visited this place Wednesday around 4:30 pm. The bartender was so unpleasant and did not make us feel welcomed. He didn't greed us or say thank you for anything. I would never come back to a place when they don't make you feel welcomed. We got one drink and left. read more

Bartender is an absolute clown. If you don't know what beer you want the second you walk up to the bar, good luck

Ended up here by chance after a long stroll in Dumbo. We went for the ale house burger and fish & chips. The waitress was really nice, but the service was a bit slow. Food was okay, nothing special, but kinda pricey. They've got a good variety of beers though, and I really liked the kölsch. read more

So I'm on my way home after the gym and decide to go over the Brooklyn Bridge. Once over the River I take a detour to Brooklyn Heights. Looking around the old neighborhood. I pass by this place and luckily find a treasured spot So I decide to park and go in for early dinner. Outside I meet Minnow a beautiful dog. A Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, a striking animal with light brown eyes that match her mane. The rest of her body is Sandy haired black and light grey. We hit it right off and I offer to buy her a martini, but her owner says she already had her limit! Ha Once inside I order a glass of pino noir. Which the waiter Eugene says is his favorite Peter the bartender comes over with the wine and I order the roast beef sandwich with caramelized onions and mushrooms. I also get a side order of French fries. It comes quickly and looks delicious. I dig in. It's great! Eugene is very attentive, coming over asking if I need anything. No all is great Wine. Good roast beef in a rather cool venue. read more

Stopped by over the weekend and had an okay experience. It was around 7pm and the kitchen was already closed. I don't remember if the waiter said something was wrong but it was unfortunate. The staff allowed you to bring food from elsewhere inside though. The service was extremely slow (wasn't busy) and the waiter was very confused about our simple drink orders. First drink was made wrong but I still finished and when I asked for a second round I reminded him what the order was and it still came out wrong. Very convenient location and wouldn't hurt to stop here for quick drinks, but unfortunately I will skip out on this next time. read more

Ordered: Fish & Chips (please see photo) Price: $17 This is the best Fish & Chips in Brooklyn Heights that I know of. It's quite pricey but certainly some good Cod over fries. It comes with vinegar, lemon halves and some mayo-based sauce. The portions are decent. There are 3 fried cod. The fries are tasty. read more

Needed to use the restroom, so I popped into Henry Street Ale House. They had two gender neutral restrooms of I recall correctly. Picked up a pint of Finback's Crispy Morning before hitting the road. I liked this take on their classic Pilsner. Will definitely reach for it again if I see it around. Service was quick and friendly. read more

While looking through the front window for a place to watch the game, we were greated by a lovely waitress who welcomed us in (family of 4 with 2 kids). The staff was overly welcoming and accommodating. Turned the game on any TV we wanted and offered up any open seats. The beer selection is awesome and the food was outstanding as far as pub food goes. I love the patina old school NY bar vibe! Great place to visit if you're strolling out of Dumbo. read more

While in Brooklyn I was riding around with my friend looking for parking to go to the park and ended up in front of this spot. We decided to get a drink while here and was served by Micho. He was a cool dude and was attentive. My friend ordered one of their beers and they had many to choose from and I ordered a pinot nior. My friend also had cheese fries. The pinot nior wasn't bad at all. My friend enjoyed the cheese fries and the beer. The bill was about $32. All in all we had a good experience. read more

If you're not interested in reading the full review, here's the long story short - this isn't a place you go for fancy cocktails and cuisine, this is the spot you go to grab cheap drinks with friends and hang out. In the nicest way possible, it's a hole in the wall where the bar tender is not likely to shoot you a smile. That being said, I think it's a solid spot with a good beer selection and I would definitely go back. When we got there the outdoor tables near heaters were all full still so we sat a table on the sidewalk. The guy taking orders and serving (I assume he may actually be the owner) told us he would move us to a heater area when it became available. About 5-10 minutes later, he came back over and grabbed the drinks we already had to move us to the bar top that had a heater. Really courteous. He also takes COVID precautions seriously, my friend ran inside to use the rest room and he followed the protocol with taking temp and his information down. Really just a solid, pub style bar. Good tap list and bottle inventory. I appreciate the proper glassware. Menu is standard bar food but good quality (you could tell the food wasn't just frozen and reheated) and great price (particularly for the area). The fried pickles and chicken fingers were good. He got my friend a side of blue cheese with no hesitation. Just a chill, no frills spot that I would definitely recommend. Looking forward to going here when it's open indoors again, this could easily be your local watering hole if you lived or worked in the area. read more

Due to my boyfriend's love of fries, I decided to bring him here after discovering this restaurant through a friend. It also wasn't worth it. Not just him, but I also find their spice and flavor to be strange. The added sauce didn't go well with the tasteless and mushy fries. I also purchased the buffalo wings, which are utterly tough. It was CHEWY MEAT. We don't want to waste food. Therefore my partner only managed to do so out of respect for me ( and just not to throw it). You could, in all honesty, make nicer fries at home. I really wanted to enjoy it, but I can't. The star was being served. Just good; not outstanding. At least the cashier's employee was friendly. won't be returning. read more

I kinda like this place. I've always found the bartenders friendly and generous. The place has a really cool old style decor and ambience. One of the bartenders is on the surly side, but I find that kinda fun. I've not eaten the food, but whenever I've been here, the aroma is pretty inviting. There are an ample supply of regulars, which really emphasizes the neighborhood feel. The best part is that they have a decent lineup of rotating taps, heavy on the local offerings. read more

Post-dinner on a Saturday night as the Power Of One (me, myself and I) was mostly crowded- particularly by the bar area. Tables are majority non-occupied and standing by the entrance waiting to be greeted by the hostess to be ushered to a seat was a few minutes of being invisible. An American neighborhood pub located in Brooklyn Heights, typical, with TV screens plastered against the wall for the sport aficionados attaining their daily intake. With a strong doubt I sensed a strong negative aurora for patronizing this business based on being invisible for several moments and the difficulty of flagging the waiter. The service is mediocre as my server appears melancholy. In silent acquiescence, she rose to her feet to place my food order and attain my wine without further ado - without a smile, without any life in her eyes. Quality of food is MEH. When inquiring for drink suggestions I was informed we have a full bar, okay in hopes of ordering a frozen drink Henry Street does not have a blender ergo why laid the claim "we have a full bar"?! False and misleading information. They do offer a small selection of brew beers. Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages (Rhône Valley, France) $11.00 - subtle finish for red. I did not taste any oak. Henry Street's wine glass contains a sharp inside curved ream, perhaps, to prevent spillage. Caramelized Pecan Brioche bread pudding $7.95 - dessert from the daily Special was very heavy, rich swimming in caramel, ergo, I did not finish. There is no shortage of pecan nuts embedded within either. Caramel is a dentist worst nightmare to create immense dental damage. I was not offered a glass of water upon being seated. It does not appear that other dessert(s) were available either as a daily special or listed on their food menu.

Basic bar located on a stretch of eateries for the after work crowd. Saturday afternoon, plenty of room inside this dimly lit place both at the bar and at the tables. Large draft list is written on the chalkboard at the back of the bar, so quickly was able to order an IPA ($7) to go along with some Nachos w/Guac ($15) to start. Nachos are your standard fare - a big pile of chips topped with cheese, peppers, sour cream, guacamole ($ extra), tomatoes, and greens. Cheese could have been better but the cream and guac made up for it. For the main course, ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($14); a meaty serving swimming in BBQ sauce, barely staying inside the bun. Fries that come alongside are seasoned well and seemingly handcut. Overall the food was above average, the draft list is excellent, and the service is quality. Great spot for a low-key afternoon in the area. read more

Great neighborhood bar & grill with excellent beer selection. Food is fresh and served warm. Service is exceptional.

Ladies with an attitude Fellas that were in the mood Don't just stand there, let's get to it Drink a beer there's nothing to it Beer, beer, beer..... If Madonna would only return my phone calls, we could update her old hit "Vogue" for our generation with my new lyrics about beer. Anybody wanting to help me with the choreography drop me a line. Back to the restaurant...Henry Street Ale House is a cool place. There are a lot of locals who jealously guard seats at the bar so as a newcomer, I felt a little unwelcome, but my very cool waitress Joan said I could just sit at a table. She was funny, ironic, informative and a little spunky*. I liked her so service gets 4 stars. The beer list is well-curated, with a nice selection of bottles and drafts. I started with La Chouffe, which is one of my favorite beers and it was served in the tulip. Then I had the chicken wings and deferred to Joan for my next diet-busting selection. She recommended the jalapeno poppers. The poppers were great, served with a huge dollop of sour cream and a small bowl of buffalo sauce. Great! The wings were good, meaty, with a subtle spiciness. I subbed the blue cheese for ranch and that made me happy. Also used leftover buffalo sauce from the poppers to add additional flavor. Paired my meal with a Fullers ESB, very tasty. For good service and good beer selection, I'm a fan of Henry Street Ale House. _________________________________________________________ *Here's Lou Grant's take on spunk (@ 2:35): http://youtu.be/sNyj4FV56JY read more

Change in ownership huge decline in service and food. They used to have such good food! It was a huge disappointment to try the new menu and be so disappointed. The old chicken burrito and tortilla soup here was amazing. The chicken burrito now is much smaller. It's no longer served wet. And it's very bland. The service has also declined tremendously. I can't tell you the number of times the bartender walked by our empty glasses without offering a refill. It was bad. But to really put the bad service over the top our bartender decided to "give us a little splash." That is instead of a typical buy back where a bartender gets a round for you, he took our glasses and half filled them. It was ridiculous. I'm super bummed because this has been one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. The old bartender Pete was fantastic. Another great bar bites the dust. read more

Pretty nondescript place with an excellent beer selection and an awesome bartender. Very spacious and dark bar area, with a long, L-shaped bar, a few tables, and not much else, really. The pressed tin ceiling is the only decor element that is worth mentioning. Here are the beers I tried: -Victory Brewing HopDevil (6.7% ABV): Rich, amber color, very hoppy but very smooth as well; not too bitter. Definitely for hop/IPA lovers. -Sixpoint Sweet Action (5.2% ABV): Wonderful hazy, amber/apricot color. Malty and slightly floral taste, with mild sweetness. Very easy on the palate; very drinkable. This is one of my favorite beers ever. -Youngs Double Chocolate Stout (5.2% ABV): The star of the night! Rich and incredibly smooth, with a creamy finish. More coffee than chocolate on the palate. Silky dessert in a glass; a real beauty. The bartender was fantastic: the kind of nonintrusive bartender that keeps an eye on you, but never bothers you unless you need a refill; that will give you an excellent suggestion if you don't know what to drink; and that will not start a conversation unless you initiate it. My kind of bartender. A good place to catch up with a friend.

After enjoying the an event nearby me and my friends really wanted to grab some good food as everbody was starving. As one of my friends had eaten before at Henry's so we all decided to check this place out. It was a sunday evening and this place was packed though we were easily able to get table us(we were 6 of us). This place has an amazing selection when it comes to beer. Though I didn't order any drinks but my friends loved thier drinks. So for food I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and my friends ordered the turkey club, stuffed potato skins, Grilled veggie burrito and grilled buffalo chicken sandwich. My pulled pork sandwich was really flavorfull and tasty and even potato skins were nice. Everybody like the food except the turkey sandwich which was dry and bland. The service here was really nice considering they were busy. Definitely a great spot to enjoy food and drinks with friends! read more

Love this bar. When I lived in Brooklyn, this was a regular place for me, usually coming once every other week. Unfortunately I moved out to New Jersey which makes it a little more difficult to drop by since it's an extra subway ride, but I still do try to come here every couple months. The ale house is super easy to get to, it's literally a block away from the High Street subway station on the A and C lines. They do a pretty good job managing the seats at the bar so you always have a place to sit when you walk in. The beer mix is an eclectic one- but I say that in a good way. I normally consider myself fairly well educated with beers, but I often find ones here that I've never heard of. The food here is definitely a notch above your regular bar grub. The chicken pot pie is enormous, and there's always a few daily specials worth checking out. Wish the owner of this place would consider opening another location closer to where I live. The place has definitely grown on me since I wrote my original review a while back. read more

I thought it was meh. We biked across the crowded Brooklyn Bridge as the sky turned dark and cold, we were hungry and literally went to the first place that had no wait. I see why there's no wait. The food was mediocre. I guess the mini burgers were cute and decent but I wasn't a huge huge fan but it wasn't bad either for quick food. Out of the chicken, ribs, and mini burgers, I definitely favored the burgers & fries :) read more

I'm glad this ale house is near our place in Brooklyn because it's an amazing neighborhood bar that is just a few paces away from home. I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll be visiting this place frequently once we're settled in! On our first visit, we just ordered appetizers because we were scheduled to eat dinner later with friends. From the appetizer menu, we selected the chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks, which were both top-of-the-line for bar food and priced very reasonably ($6.95 for the chicken fingers and $5.50 for the mozzarella sticks). As for drinks, Vinny and I both ordered a Wild Turkey on the rocks, and, as I hoped, the bartender wasn't stingy with his pours! That's always a plus!! The atmosphere of Henry Street Ale House is pub-like--there's a long bar with wooden tables and chair spaced across from the bar... nothing fancy, but that's not what this modest, unpretentious neighborhood bar and grill is all about. read more

Just came in with friends I just met from Educational Housing Services. Ordered the Stuffed Potato Skins and they were incredible. Great flavor, lots of cheese, sour cream and bacon. Very filling and great prices for all the appetizers. Really enjoyed the potatoes and the atmosphere was pretty cool. Dim lighting, bar, tvs and great company. Only negative part of the experience was the 25% gratuity. Im sorry but unless the service is absolutely exceptional, that is way too high. read more
