    First time in this establishment. I had a great time watching all the sport. Basketball and Copa America with my Peruvian friend who I met at the bar. Our bartender Francis went above and beyond. Back in Ireland they say he has a hand made of lead. The pints were superb. 5/5 would recommend to a friend.

    Extremely rude and aggressive bartender. No respect. Rudely took my gfs coffee out of her hand that she was trying to finish and throw away before she could order. Will not be back. Go elsewhere - much better options around.

    Hands down an excellent bar to hang out and catch a game. Have a few pints with friends and put some music on the jukebox. They don't serve food but you can order in and eat it there. The staff of amazing, if Johan is there you're going to have a great time. Make sure you take care of him, and he'll take care of you. Depending on the hour I've found parking time and time again. Definitely returning here, again.

    I love that Park Slope has this marvelous Liverpool pub, but wow, does the main bartender have to be so rude? Does a sweet gathering spot a real disservice with his surly behavior. I’ve been going here for years, but he always acts like he’s never see you before. Yesterday, he made the bizarre maneuver of demanding we order more drinks. We have always ordered multiple drinks at matches- and fully honor and respect the need to support the place that’s hosting us. It was so aggressive and misplaced- I guess he was angry the 14 year olds in our family weren’t ordering alcohol, but were on less expensive soda. Really strange and off-putting-

    We went to watch the United PSG game, being a Liverpool fan I was in for a great surprise that this was a Liverpool pub. Great beer and great football watching venue.

    One of the best places to watch a Liverpool game specifically or any sporting events in general. It's also home to the official Liverpool supporters club of Brooklyn. Amazing place with a great atmosphere to watch a match!

    Friendly atmosphere, cheap drinks, and a quiet patio out back. Perfect for one drink or hang for a few!

    Very rude bartender, we felt unwelcomed for being foreigner tourists. We left the bar and went to the other one on the corner immediately after our first interaction with him.

    I love this place. I don’t go here nearly enough to warrant being treated like a regular, but every time we go to the Monro we’re welcomed like we spend every evening here. The bar staff are some of the friendliest and best around, the draft selection is deep, and it’s a Liverpool supporters bar. What’s not to love about this bar?

    Went to watch the liverpool match on a Sun morning, and they kicked my friend out for ordering a soda instead of a beer. I guess if you’re a liverpool fan but a recovering alcoholic or just don’t want to drink alcohol for any reason this place is not going to welcome you. I thought YOU NEVER WALK ALONE but guess that doesn’t actually apply at The Monro Pub.

    Beer tastes like they never clean. Bartender doesn't like when you comment on how terrible the beer is. Spaghetti all over the floor, very unprofessional.

    The Irish pub vibe I've been missing - friendly, down to earth, great spot to watch a match. Staff was fantastic.

    I’ve been coming here for many years. I’m always treated with respect. I never had any issues ordering drinks, to me there’s no wait time and all my drinks are made perfect. I highly enjoy the atmosphere, the crowd. It’s an awesome chill spot.

    Went to this pub for the gotham fc game last night because the original bar was over flowing and we were told they had agreed to host us. I found the bartenders immediately annoyed and dare I say misogynistic throughout the night. When I flagged down one of them to order for a friend he pointed a pen in my face and said “don’t do that.” He was apparently trying to find someone that had ordered a drink and had walked away, not sure how I was meant to know this information. I guess ordering a drink at a bar was rude of me. I then overheard him multiple times refuse to close out tabs because it was too busy, then spend a good five minutes filing the card away (not sure how this was faster than closing out). As a frequent visitor to gay bars I promise closing out is not a lengthy experience. I witnessed an argument over this where someone was leaving the bar and he refused to close them out, again spending more time arguing with them over closing their tab than it would take to close it. He then over charged them by multiple drinks and when pointed out was annoyed that he had to adjust it (I have now seen other reviews with this same experience so check your receipt). Men were treated with handshakes and attentiveness and women (who were the primary customers for the women’s soccer game) were treated as nuisances. Will not be returning. response to the bars response: my experience was having a man point at me and aggressively say “don’t do that” when i flagged him down for my friend to order a drink. i only noticed the way they treated others after being directly reprimanded and being right next to those ordering and being treated poorly as well and hearing their grievances. not subjective at all, just observant.

    Came in to meet friends and catch a champions league match. Sat in the back yard to watch the game. Fun friendly atmosphere. The bartender Yohan was great. Definitely will go back.

  • 1/5 Monika K. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Terrible service and terrible bartender. Bartender couldn't handle that I said that Old Speckled Hen is not a good beer. He kept telling me not to say that, as if I'm not allowed to voice an opinion about a taste of a beer? He then aggressively pulled our beers out of our hands and told us to get out. Definitely don't recommend this spot!
