The Brooklyn Brewery

How crowded is this place on a Saturday when they open. Just want to bring my brothers and dad for a beer or two while touring highlights of brooklyn?

Hi Mike, Saturdays tend to be our busiest days of the week. We recommend coming early or within a couple ours of closing to avoid the most crowded times. Hopefully we'll see you soon!

Do you need a reservation to visit the brewery?

Hey Nicole, there are no reservations required to visit our Tasting Room! You do need to buy a ticket for our weeknight tours, and you can also reach out to our private events team at https://brooklynbrewery.com/visit-us/private-events/ if you'd…

Hi, Are you open on the December 25th? thanks

Hi Jonah, we are closed on December 25, as well as December 24. We hope you'll come visit soon!

Can I bring my own food?

Hey Dave, feel free to bring your own food, or order delivery from a restaurant in our neighborhood. We also bring in a rotating roster of food vendors on the weekends, so be sure to check our Facebook page for the latest news there. See you soon!

Do they have coat check?

We do not have a dedicated coat check, but have hooks under our bar and coat rack space available. This space is first come, first served, so be sure to snag a spot as soon as you come in!

How dog-friendly is it? Another website named it as extremely dog-friendly however the business description here says no dogs. UPDATE: Thanks to the owner for updating Yelp to now say YES to dogs!

Very!

What is the size of the glass? is it 12oz or 16oz or anything else?

Hey Rahul, beers at our Tasting Room bar are served in 12oz glasses. Cheers!

Is it kid friendly?

It depends. We were there with our 2 (ages 7 & 10) and they did well because we had friends there with us. They got to have some food but there isn't a lot of room to roam. It was really crowded and noisy. The crowds were friendly. It just depends…

Is wine served?

I was there today. They have two reds. They also have rosé

Is this a good spot for a party of 15 celebrating a birthday?

Fun place for a party of 15! Lots of beer but no kitchen so bring food with you. Sometimes there's a pizza truck outside. If not, pizzas not too far away. Enjoy!

On the positive side, it's a very spacious bar and I saw board games stacked up, which tells me it can be a fun place to hang out. Now to the not as great. I sat at the bar and after looking at their cocktail menu, I ordered a French 75. You can imagine my surprise when I was served a drink in a single rocks glass which is basically what you'd serve an old fashion or other cocktail in. A French 75 needs to be in a flute. And at first, I thought maybe they don't have any flutes. Which still perplexed me because why have a French 75 on the menu if you don't have the right glassware. But I looked behind the bar and lo and behold, saw a flute. So not sure what that was about. The drink itself was ok. The other weird thing is that when I ordered, she rang it up and handed me the handheld device to pay. Since I was sitting at the bar, I'd expect to at least be asked if I wanted to open a tab or to just wait. Payment before the drink was made just rubbed me different. And of course, gratuity was tacked on, also rubbed me wrong. Because while I planned to tip, adding your own tip automatically to 1 drink is icky.

I had the not-for-vegans Cheddar Brat with Carmelized Onions and side of fries. The brat is on the small side but very flavorful and satisfying with the bretzel bun and stone ground mustard. The Carmelized onions were nice, but not neccessary for flavor. If I were to come back, I would just go for two brats on Bretzel buns and skip the side fries. The fries are natural cut, but likely frozen or double fried, which makes them taste more like oily starch than fried potato. The draft cider was cold and did well outside on the wood slat table with the help of the sturdy coaster. Bonus- dogs can hang with you outside, but need to stay outside while you step inside to order at the bar. Food took about 15min for prep and delivery around 5pm on a Wednesday.

The decor was simple, felt a bit cold and the vibe was chill. It's a small interesting space, when we arrived it was just us and 2 other small parties. When we left, there was a chaotic stroller party happening in the back. The brewery filled up pretty quick on a Saturday afternoon, with one slow moving angry woman pouring beers, it took awhile to get a beer. If the woman behind the bar had provided better customer service, I might have left a higher scoring review. I really wanted to like this place. Will I be back, probably not.

As soon as my friend arrived, we ordered a 1/2 dozen West Coast oysters, which were not on the happy hour menu, and several dozens of the HH East Coast oysters. Our server did an excellent job explaining the origin of the oysters as well as the specials of the day. The West Coast oysters were Kumamoto (California), while the East Coast selection were called Bad Boys (from Nova Scotia, Canada). Normally I'm a big fan of West coast oysters, but the Bad Boys were delicious! They were plump with a bold ocean brine & crisp finish.
