    This bar is not what it used to be. When this bar first opened the craft beer selections were amazing. The team running the place had clear relationships with some of the local NY brewing companies. They would have wonderful hard to find craft beers on tap all the time. They also had a full bar but smaller with more interesting selection, better quality from the well up to the top shelf. The bartenders also were very skilled and made excellent cocktails. They had great menu cocktails and also the bartenders could riff something new based on your tastes. But there was a clear change in the management here. This bar went from having impossible to find Grimm beer kegs tapped to having just plain ol' Guinness on tap. There is obviously nothing wrong with Guinness draft, but that wasn't what this bar was about. The newer staff are nice, engaging and can serve a drink but not as skilled in mixology as former bartenders. This was an amazing place, but now just an other Brooklyn hipster bar. I had many good times here, it saddens me that this bar has lost all it's original charm.

    Very good bar, never crowded when I go. They give you fresh baked cookies. The bartender is nice. They have many beers, good ones, interesting ones. Lighting is dim but not too dim. Had one of each taco on taco Tuesday, and they were great. One of them is similar to a Frito pie, which I had never had, and I liked.

    A great place for a drink and some live music. I used to hear the jazz from my apartment down the block before it got cold. The food options could be better, but COVID is more to blame for that than anything else. The drinks still flow like water, and chances are, you'll meet some really cool people there if you stay for the music.

    Great vibe here. On the corner with nice window light. They have a great selection of beers, mostly local and craft options. Friendly and helpful staff, Sam was happy to make some suggestions on a beer and a sandwich. I got the Turkey club which was delicious! I'll definitely be back.

    Beer selection is great! Pretzels are massive and the bar with it's nice staff and music makes this place a solid win for almost any time, with or without friends. Other expensive pseudo-German bars and eateries don't even have pretzels this big I'm telling ya!

    The best part of this place is bartender. He can make you a cocktail that is not even on the menu. Best gin tonic ever. And a good selection of draft beer!

    Large selection of beers. They have board games and a food menu as well. Great service! It's a large place and they play good music. Great overall vibe.

    One of my favorite local bars. The bartenders are always super friendly and it always has a very relaxed atmosphere. Great beer selection and good cocktails. Sometimes they have live jazz. If you are around at midnight you might be lucky enough to get a free, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie.

    One of the best beer bars in Brooklyn. Great staff and tasty snacks as well. The list is full of interesting beers and ciders, many of which you've never heard of mixed with a few awesome you beers you have. Board games and a great vibe out this place over the top.

    I really love this local neighbourhood bar. They have a small food menu that is mostly snacks, but a great selection of beer, alcohol, and wine. There are even a few deals that are shot and beer that are pretty good. I find the staff and the ambiance a perfect combo of welcoming and comfortable but also cool and hip.

    Great beer and food. Wide selection of craft beers, delicious sandwiches and atmosphere make The Wilky a great place to hang out. The service is great. The main bartender, Brian, is great to talk to and provided great service every time I've been there. I definitely see this becoming a regular spot!
