Cute little Irish pub right near Prospect Park. I really wanted to like this place a lot because I love supporting my local pubs. Sadly, I will not be patronizing this business again and I highly recommend avoiding this place at all costs. My friends and I had an awful experience here after an unfortunate credit card mishap. The management handled it so poorly - calling us names behind our backs and even trying to use the credit card for their own groceries??? WTF?! Beer and burger were fine but not enough to go back for read more

Terrible, unprofessional service from management. Take your hard earned money to somewhere that won't accidentally give your credit card from your tab to another customer, make the process of retrieving your card difficult when it was their mistake, possibly use the card fraudulently, and then call you profane names when you're just a chill, understanding person. I can't comment on the food or ambience of the establishment though. read more

I am a sucker for a good pub. Unfortunately, I am So disappointed in the management of this establishment. They could not handle themselves professionally and decided to name call one of their customers behind their back. The customer just wanted help. I will not be giving my money to this place. Avoid going here. There are many other great bars and pubs to go to in New York. read more

Beware of the management of this pub! The way this establishment handled my friend's credit card was very unprofessional and disrespectful. I would not recommend going here. read more

TLDR; they gave my credit card to someone else, failed to return it, potentially tried to use it, and then called me a "little dick weasel" behind my back. Absolutely terrible business. I went to The Canary in Crown Heights with some friends on Thursday and opened a tab with my credit card. When I went to close my tab, the bartender told me that he had accidentally given my card to another customer and had that customer's card instead. Mistakes happen, so I was initially very understanding about it. I left my name, the last four digits of my card, and my phone number and asked them to contact me if the card was returned. The next day, the person who accidentally received my card found me on Facebook and messaged me directly. He confirmed that he had my card and said he would return it to the bar. I confirmed that was fine and that I would pick it up there. A few days later, he messaged me saying he had dropped the card off at the bar that afternoon. He even referenced the note I had left there. Despite this, the bar never contacted me. Later that night, I received an email showing an attempted transaction on the card at a grocery store near the bar. I'm not going to speculate about who attempted the transaction, but obviously that made the situation much more concerning. I went back to the bar Tuesday and showed them the messages confirming that my card had been dropped off. Initially, they told me they couldn't find it. The manager got involved, apologized, and told me he would look into it. About an hour later, the manager told me and said he had located my card and that I could come pick it up later that night. He gave me his personal number to coordinate the pickup. He also gave me a free beer and a burger so vibes were good for now. And then, while texting me to coordinate picking up the card, the manager accidentally sent me a message intended for one of his employees referring to me as a "little dick weasel." (See attached screenshot) At that point, I was over it. I canceled the card and have absolutely no interest in ever returning to this establishment. Mistakes can happen, that's fine we're all human. But the way this situation was handled was incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful, and frankly embarrassing for a business. Never go here! read more

The canary? More like can-of-diarrhea! I ordered the Irish breakfast and the egg was runny. I thought "okay maybe it's over-easy?" even though I asked for over medium. The meat was also undercooked and chewy. I paid with my cash and left but as soon as I got home... man I let it run and did it (poop) run! So ya don't go here unless you want an overpriced detox read more

I was very disappointed to hear about my friend's experience with the customer service here. The bar mistakenly swapped my friend's credit card for another customer's (an understandable mistake), but The Canary: 1) Did not proactively correct the aforementioned mistake and instead left the customers to handle it 2) Told my friend they did not have his credit card even after it was successfully returned to the bar 3) Staff managed to find the credit card only after the issue was escalated to the manager, who then 3) Called my friend a little dick weasel for *checks notes* wanting to pick up HIS OWN credit card that The Canary initially GAVE TO SOMEONE ELSE, got back, and then managed to lose AGAIN within their own bar?? And don't even get me started on the disputed grocery transaction that occurred while the credit card was allegedly under the bar's possession! read more

Absolutely loved this little gem, nestled away in Brooklyn heights. I was instantly charmed by the laid back yet fun vibe that permeated the place. I was met with a warm smile by the staff who served me quick fast. I got a steak sandwich, which I must say was some of the best food I have had since my visit to the big city. I washed my sandwich down with a spicy marg, which was top notch and perfectly to my taste. This place is a must and I will definitely be returning. Also had great music. read more

Initially, coming to this restaurant I was expecting to have a regular experience like any another location. However, after difficulties with recieving my credit card back after my meal I had an absolutely horrendous experience. I was expecting to pay for my check then leave straight after, yet, the server made it difficult to by not returning my credit card. I feel very frustrated with how low of a standard they hold for their workers here because it needs alot of improvement. Never returning back here again. read more

Really disappointing to hear how this bar handled my friend's situation. My friend opened a tab here and, when he went to close it, was told that the bar had accidentally given his credit card to another customer. My friend was being genuinely understanding and thought it was okay and that they can let us know. The other customer eventually found my friend on Facebook, confirmed that he had the card, and later told him that he had personally returned it to the bar. When he later went back to retrieve it--even after showing messages confirming it had been dropped off--staff initially told him they couldn't find it. The manager eventually located the card and gave my friend his personal number to coordinate picking it up. Then, while texting him about the pickup, the manager accidentally sent my friend a message apparently intended for an employee referring to my friend as a "little **** weasel." That is actually insane. You can see it in the screenshots my friend posted. Dear Manager, please learn some decorum. Your conduct is extremely disgusting and disgraceful and I sincerely hope that you experience some form of retribution. read more

My new favorite bar! Happy hour u til 8pm and plenty of activities daily. I want to go back for trivia night since it seemed to be well talked about and they have a lot of regulars as we sat at the bar and made friends. The food was really good as well I had nachos and got my chicken and jalapeño on the side since I was sharing with someone who didn't eat meat. The drinks were really good and happy hour margaritas were only 10 bucks!!! The most Irish bar I've ever been too! read more

Really disappointing experience. The bar gave my friend's credit card to another customer, which is obviously a serious mistake. Despite that, my friend remained polite and simply tried to get the situation resolved. Instead of apologizing and handling the mistake professionally, staff responded by calling him a "dick weasel." That kind of disrespect toward a customer is unacceptable. read more

My husband and I randomly dropped in for brunch and OMG... it was so good! We each got a cocktail (~$13 each) which were delicious. Then we shared 2 entrees, but there were so many items on the menu that looked good. Brunch smashburger - really generous serving, the meat and accompaniments were fantastic with perfectly cooked thick cut bacon. Fries were solid pub fries. Truffle egg and Prosciutto- served on what tasted like housemade English muffin. Prosciutto was perfectly crisp and not too gamey. Eggs had a good level of Truffle but wasn't overpowering. Side salad was refreshing though maybe a little heavier on dressing for our preference. Service was efficient and friendly. Was a relaxed atmosphere, busy but not chaotic. We absolutely plan to return, as their snacks and dinner menus also look really good. read more

Great place to watch a game. Decent food, great atmosphere, just standard pub fare. Perfect for early Sunday games

My daughter lives near the Canary, and she took me over for a drink. It definitely is a popular place. It was rocking at 6:30 on a Wednesday. We lucked out and got to seats along the wall adjacent to the bar. I loved the energy and ambience. It is definitely a local's place. My daughter had a Guinness draft, and I had a take-off of an old-fashioned. It was an excellent cocktail. Very smooth, well-balanced, and nicely sized. Prices were reasonable as well I almost forgot about the service. We had an EXCELLENT server. Drinks were served promptly, and she was friendly despite the sheer number of people that she had to serve. We liked it so much that we went back after dinner! Give it a try when visiting Brooklyn, or if you're looking for a new place to try if you live there. read more

This place is a shame. Terrible staff! Terrible service! Deplorable conduct on behalf of the staff when my friend lost his card and instead of simply returning it they SPENT HIS MONEY and gave him the RUN AROUND. Absolutely unbelievable and shameful!!!!! I hear the food is mid too so beware read more

Overall rating: 4.5 Wow I didn't know this place existed, must be new since I've moved out of the area. Very popular & my lower rating is driven by feeling like I was in Manhattan. Sigh. I was missing any form of culture. I ordered the wings which were delicious and yeah, I'll come back if I'm craving. I can't tell if they play folk music which would be cool. I found myself coming during trivia night so it was packed, but the bartenders were really nice. read more

Just what the neighborhood needed! This is the ultimate in Irish pubs . With some actual employees from the emerald isle. The Buffalo wings are the best in the area and you have to try the burger and fries. It has just the right lighting to make a night out with spouse or just friends and if you get there before 8pm you might get a seat at the bar . My wife came here and played trivia along with my mother in law. What a treat . read more

The staff and food here makes me happy. Found this place during our hunt for a good Irish breakfast and can say that The Canary's breakfast is on par with ones I had in Ireland. Pair that with the attentive and friendly staff, great Bloody Mary and good atmosphere this is a great place to spend a day. While the Irish Breakfast brought me in other menu items are outstanding. Also open early on weekends and show the morning sports. Win all around. read more

Best mojitos! So refreshing and delightful. Also had the pretzels with the different dips. Devoured it and forgot to get a picture - by the time I remembered it was too late. Super yummy. We ate outside during the block party and what a time. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. Would definitely return to try a few other items on the menu. read more

This is my neighborhood bar. When I think to myself "I want a drink," this is where I think to go to. The bartenders here are cool and very talented. I'm bad with names, but the French bartender makers custom drinks and can speak to any palate. The food is high quality, especially for a pub environment. I've had the truffle cheese steak and the pretzel. Both were outstanding. The happy hour is a sweet deal, especially for Franklin avenue. read more

The Canary is a cozy neighborhood bar located in Crown Heights. It was a nice place to enjoy a cold beer and some good food after a picnic in Prospect Park. Service was friendly and accommodating. I sprained my ankle and was wearing a medical boot so the server immediately asked if we wanted a table in the back-that was really nice. They have a good selection of beers on draft including several local options. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful and came with a good portion of thick cut fries. The fish 'n chops were also tasty. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. Cheers!! read more

Food, service, and ambiance were good. The smashburger was a good value at $16. It tasted good too. I had a $5 bottle of Corona with it. My friend had a chicken sandwich which he said was very good. The crowd was youngish 20's. The place needed air conditioning. Restroom was clean yet the toilet seat would not stay up. Please fix. read more

I'm gonna be real with you Yelp, I usually end up here when I'm already drunk which is why I've held off reviewing until now but whatever. It's a good place and I like it! It's got a slightly upscale pub feel (unless you can snag that one great booth at the front of the place) but the menu is more aligned with normal pub prices. I've gotten chicken fingers here before with truffle aioli which was genuinely outstanding -- give me truffle everything all the time thank you. I also enjoy their cocktail menu which has a lovely cucumber gimlet and this great "gin lizzy" thing with vanilla and almond and passion fruit and all sorts of tasty things. Maybe one day I'll come here and get brunch or something. Yknow, get drunk to start here instead of the opposite. One day. read more

The Canary is a great addition to the neighborhood! We came here for happy hour and had a nice time. They have great happy hour deals ($10 signature cocktails and $6 well drinks and select wine). I got the watermelon drugstore and the gardener's gimlet and both were tasty and a great value. We also ordered the pretzel, and although it was delicious and seemed freshly made, it was smaller than we were expecting for the price. Happy hour usually goes until 8pm on weeknights, but it goes until 9pm on Wednesdays. I was surprised at how busy it gets on weeknights! They also have trivia on Mondays and taco Tuesdays. read more

In short: cocktails were a bit underwhelming but food is tasty. Came here for brunch on a weekend and place was pretty empty; no reservation needed (don't think they even take them). Ordered an espresso martini and an Irish coffee and can't say I was that impressed with either, but enjoyed both entrees we ordered. Was missing the full English breakfasts I had while in the UK (one of my favorite aspects of English food), so I got the traditional Irish breakfast and it definitely satisfied my craving. Surprisingly, I found myself really enjoying the black and white puddings (have never been the biggest fan in the past). Thought they were seasoned really well. Eggs (over easy) were cooked perfectly and sausages were yummy; beans were good too. Kerrygold butter was a nice touch. My sister's truffled scrambled eggs were also delicious (great flavor, very fluffy). Her side salad was fresh and nicely dressed as well. read more

Delicious fries nice ambience a little crowded and no place to sit on trivia night during happy hour but it's a nice place. I will go back.

A delightful addition to the array of restaurants and bars on Franklin Ave! The Canary is a new bar with the style of a classic Irish pub but the feel of something more modern. Happy Hour runs til 8 every day (9 on wednesdays), and there are other daily events including Taco Tuesdays and Trivia Mondays, which I plan to check out soon. I came for happy hour around 6:30 on a Thursday. Had no trouble getting a table for two, but it did start to fill up pretty soon afterwards. The drink I ordered, the Gardiner's Gimlet, was only $10 and delicious. Cucumber and basil meshed perfectly with the gin to create a smooth, refreshing cocktail. There is a food menu but I didn't order anything, so I can't speak to any food items. read more
