    Great bar, seemingly okay prices. More of a beer place than a cocktail place but you’ll survive. Pinball in the back, people in the front

    Hands down one of my TOP beer bars. I just didn’t realize I had still not written a review for this place! Pros: - super friendly staff - super knowledgeable staff - you can get your own food here, or get a delivery from the 20K restaurants in the vicinity - pinball - wait, did I say, only the BEST beer?! - sometimes, they change beer menus DURING the night - best community and staff - fernet on tap - great music - life recommendations from sagacious bartenders Cons: - I’ve been coming here for many years, and have not found true love - makes me grab a beer on a Sunday

    I have a walker named Napoleon of Brooklyn Family Dog Walker that recommends I come here. He said this bar was dog friendly and the staff is amazing. He was on the money. The bartender was great and the atmosphere was made even better with the choice of music. Me, my wife and my pup couldn't have asked for a better drink and chat.

    This is a classic, throwback neighborhood bar. Great beers and drinks with a super friendly vibe. Bartender Jill is a true spark plug, talented, outgoing and a true pro. This is truly the kind of place where “everybody knows your name”.

    Best beer selection of any place in downtown Brooklyn. Always several interesting beers on tap you'd never find anywhere else. Bartenders are always laid-back, but friendly and attentive.

    Love this bar. Serious taps and bottles. Chill vibe. Tv has the WC right now. Sister bar to OWL FARM CARDIFF GIANT MISSION DELORES and GLORIETTA BALDY. So the beers will be fresh and fun ALWAYS.

    Cool dive bar. The prices are good. It's a small space but comfortable enough. The bartender was pleasant.

  • 4/5 Michele H. 2 years ago on Google • 81 reviews
    Great bar. Bartender was welcoming and he actually knew all the beers that was listed. Ales IPAs. After coming out of the lockdown its good to find through friends a warm charming bar. Then to my surprise 4 pinball machines in the back room I was a kid and a adult at the same time. It was fun. I have a 4 stars cause of their tequila not a wide selection.

  • 5/5 Schjanna R. 1 year ago on Google • 15 reviews
    This is the perfect place to sip a great beer & listen to seriously good music. Bar tenders are knowledgeable and give great recommendations. Not fancy or pretentious but dog friendly and the perfect spot for a weekend afternoon beer.

    Englishman in Brooklyn. Fantastic venue, enjoyed the drinks the great atmosphere and the music has been great. The bar man is superb. Plus I see it has pinball! Sadly I’m rubbish so can’t review but everything else is great.

  • 5/5 Celine D. 1 year ago on Google
    Arion is one of my absolute favorite bartenders in the neighborhood & always plays the best music! Chill, non-pretentious atmosphere with an epic (rotating) selection of craft beer on tap. 🍻

    Turn off the tv, it's not necessary.

  • 5/5 Dylan A. 1 year ago on Google
    The people working at Bar Great Harry are the best! Always amazing service and conversation, great music and great drinks. Also, they have Fernet on tap ❤️‍🔥

    Go see Sarah. The best bartender in Brooklyn.

  • 5/5 Bill B. 2 years ago on Google
    Zach is the greatest. Awesome dude who knows his beers and is an amazing bartender

  • 2/5 Ryan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Small selection of liquor. Odd combination of super loud music and multiple infants at the bar at 5pm. Bartender quite assertive with their service.

  • 4/5 Elsa C. 2 years ago on Google
    Best happy hour spot. Love the bartenders.

  • 5/5 Drew H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great experience. The selection was very well curated, the bar is comfortable, the service is knowledgeable and friendly, and the neighborhood is beautiful.

  • 4/5 Sean N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot. Love the selection. Love the space. And hands down the least pretentious space left on Smith. One complaint- 3/4oz shots of Fernet, $8? Really?

  • 5/5 Chester F. 10 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I went there on a very crowded Saturday afternoon. There is a full service bar with finger foods. We had pumpkin beer. It was very interesting. Fun place to go. They offer a happy hour. Reasonably priced.
