    The most reliable spot on Franklin Avenue for beer on tap, a nice wine, a staple signature cocktail. Popular joint, nice bartenders, swell backyard patio. Been around awhile for a reason. Nice dark interior with all the vibes. After 10 or so can get crowded on weekends, mostly in a good way. Get there in the pm after they open at 4 for a straightforwardly close space to have a chat. Wonderful place to spot a drink with friends before or after dinner. Great location on Franklin. It’s a bar you want in your neighborhood and the people you find there are usually the ones you wanted to find.

    Excellent cozy bar with great service in the middle of Crown Heights. Lots of seating both indoors and outdoors and reasonable prices.

    great local watering hole with a dive feel but it presents like a very typical loungesque spot. great selection of drinks and a really nice mixed up crowd, the bartenders are really nice and felt very welcoming in general. really enjoyed my sour beer and the margaritas were strong and delicious. can't wait to come back.

    There's no reason I should experience this much discrimination in my neighborhood that I grew up in. My friends and I usually love this bar, but last night was not necessary and the worst experience I ever had at a bar. Last night(2/18/23) a group of us occupied 2 tables for an after-party to celebrate a baby shower, half of us drove so those individuals were not drinking anything but juice/water. Those who were drinking had drinks(multiple). One of the workers(a white lady in a grey cardigan) constantly hovered and passive aggressively badgered our table(the only table with black people) even though there's no table service, she even tried to sneak taking pictures of us like we could not see a bright flash in a dark bar. She made just made it an extremely uncomfortable and awkward night. You guys lost 8 loyal supports.

    Great beer selection, really friendly bartenders, a really cool Crown Heights community spot. Have been here a couple times before moving recently to Propect Heights, and returned recently on a busy Friday. The place was jumping. The tables in back are great for groups (if you can get them in advance of other folks on Thurs-Sat).

    Visited The Crown Inn for the first time last week and absolutely fell in love with this bar! The bartender was super nice and welcom. I did not know which cocktail to order and he asked me about my preferences and created an amazing cocktail! Honestly, the best I have ever had. The atmosphere and interior are beautiful and chill. Definitely will come back to try some new cocktails.

    If you’re looking for your neighborhood redesigned, refurbished and welcoming version of “Cheers” then this is the place to go to! Between their awesome bartenders and staff, the cool drinks and the wonderful array of red and white wines they have I would suggest nothing else on this block to go to! Pure vibes!🥰🥰🍺🍺🍻🍻🍷🍷🥃🥃

    Such a great little find! The bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable. He made a simple syrup my cousin and I were lucky enough to try in a drink and it was really interesting and delicious. The whole place was really lovely and the experience was great- would love to come back here!

    Dim chill place with good music and well made cocktails. Bartenders are quick and friendly but not too quick or friendly. Good bar to swing by for a strong drink and have an actual conversation.

    This was a great bar with low key vibe. We got there at 1am the thr music was upbeat and tge drinks were flowing. I ordered a spiced apple cider with bourbon. It was amazing. The 5qst of the holidays mixed with the warmed of a NYC feel gave me what I needed. It was definitely a sipping drink with enough alcohol to put everything in the right perspective

    Good Vibes & Good Drinks. Came across this establishment during our hunt for a nice bar with good music and decent drinks. The bar had sizeable amount of patrons along with music that was enjoyable for all. I strongly recommend this establishment if you're in the Brooklyn area and looking for a good drink and a good vibe.

    Cozy spot, good vibes and plenty of seating. Also prices were amazing, the basement emitting a strange humming of demonic origin and red candlelight was strange but I'm not one to judge. Tenouttaten.

    A welcome bar experience, coming out of these covid times. Good beer list at reasonable prices, tasty cocktails, good atmosphere, friendly (and efficient) staff, cozy back yard. We decided to stay for more drinks since we were having such a good time and just ordered taco takeout (they allow outside food). I will be back, several more times.

    Nice place! Only drinks (no food)

  • 5/5 Guy N. 9 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The Crown Inn is basically the social center of Crown Heights right now. It's warm, inviting, friendly, and incredibly social. After even a few visits you'll start to see familiar faces. And while they have a great beer list (with great prices) the bartenders also make fantastic cocktails both on menu and off.

    I love this place, street seating, cool back yard, and the inside is dimply lit and super romantic. $12 cocktails and nice bartenders

  • 5/5 Kate P. 9 months ago on Google
    Classic vibes, strong drinks, indoor and outdoor seating, and always seems to be fairly full of patrons whenever I visit!

  • 2/5 Paul B. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Cool bar and good drinks but god help you if you are not from NYC and don't fully understand the crazy tipping culture, you will be told about it by the bar staff in a very aggressive and rude way with no consideration that you might be as NYC first timer. Just a little politeness and consideration would go a long way, and do you really need the extra $4 that much that you need to make a scene?

  • 5/5 Anthony L. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite bars I have happened across. Great, reasonably priced cocktails. Great beer selection. Even better atmosphere. Cool spot.

  • 5/5 Nick D. 2 years ago on Google
    Dark, intimate bar with backyard and street seating options. Interior is well renovated, and they have a lot of private areas where you can sit and talk. Pretty affordable, and they have a wide selection of draft beers and cocktails. A good spot for a date.

  • 5/5 Kaweh D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and the bartenders killed it. Good selection of beers and awesome cocktails.

  • 5/5 Monique A. 2 years ago on Google
    This spot is go to bar spot for me. Reasonably priced drink and good atmosphere. Great bar in the neighborhood!

  • 4/5 Calvin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty good place. Noisy and crowded, which made the fact there were only 2 bathrooms a problem. Long lines kept forming.

  • 5/5 Belle H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great time there tonight! The is atmosphere is great! And the bartenders are super nice! I recently moved into the neighborhood and I think this is going to become one of my local favorites!
