    Came here on a lovely Saturday afternoon so it wasn’t as packed. The beer & cider selections are impeccable, both on tap and in cans. I had the St. Ambrose with a hint of mango and jalapeño. I also had the peach beer. Yum! Get the grilled cheese especially the fig & arugula. Will definitely come back.

    I truly love the seating outside in the back patio. The music inside the bar can be a little too loud sometimes. The staff can be hit or miss. The food is pretty good. Try the grilled cheese with fig; it's delicious! They also offer a decent selection of NA beers which is amazing! I no longer drink alcohol so this is a plus for any beer hall/establishment!

    Excellent beer selection! And very friendly bartenders, who let you taste before getting a pint. And the food is really tasty - I've tried a couple grilled cheese-style toast sandwiches. The only negatives I can think of.. sometimes gets kinda loud, and the taps can be IPA heavy (but that's not really a negative)

    We sat in the garden on an fine September evening, it was very atmospheric and enabled us to be socially distanced. We had a pleasant time and were able to chat. They have an extensive beer selection and gave recommendation and tasters which I like. Service was fine but the place was not too busy so I can't comment about when it is. Beers were not cheap but then nothing in this neighbourhood is, and the pound had been trashed the week we were there.

    Great selection of beer and also bartenders who make great recommendations! The outdoor garden area is small but really cute and a good place to spend a few hours hanging out with friends. Love coming here

    Good place. Good food. Stereotypical beer garden food but attention could be better for the customers.🧐🧐 Decent interior. Interesting art and cartoons on the walls. A cool hipster spot.

    Absolutely the BEST bar if you want to try a variety of beers. Food here is delicious as well, but the highlight for me was the friendly bartenders helping me decide what beers matched my tastes. Do NOT skip this spot

    First time was great. Wish they had more lager and less IPA on tap and maybe some more dark stuff for the lady, but the can/bottle selection is impressive. The grilled cheeses stole the show, will come back just for these. The seating is limited and the staff was not very accommodating or clear about what's expected from the patrons in terms of seating...they seemed overwhelmed on the second visit although it wasn't too crowded. Will need to learn the right time to go and when to avoid.

    Super cozy, unpretentious spot. Reminds me of pubs in England where people just get together to chill, maybe have a pint. They only serve beer and wine which is great for the atmosphere. Lots of board games, had fun playing and taking it easy.

  • 4/5 Grant G. 10 months ago on Google • 137 reviews
    Super cool vibe. 20 beers on tap, dozens more cans. The havarti/fig jam grilled cheese hit the spot. Worth a stop off while in Brooklyn.

  • 5/5 Aditi 3 months ago on Google • 112 reviews New
    One of the our best neighbourhood bar finds! Great selection of craft beer, delicious sandwiches and pretzel and super cosy setting.

  • 5/5 Karl P. 5 months ago on Google • 99 reviews
    Super cool spot with great vibes. Lots of beer on tap with some small eats like a baguette and cheese. Will definitely be going back!

  • 5/5 Vic V. 7 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Such a cozy welcoming down to earth spot with an amazing beer selection, and crazy good simple eats! Sit at the bar to chat with the bartenders, or grab a table close to the entrance garage door that’s fully open during the summer. This is going to be a new regular spot for me, where I bet you’ll get to meet the other regulars.

  • 5/5 Alice Q. H. 5 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Hell yeah! I love this place! Great beer bar with excellent food and service. As a parent (and this is relatively family friendly in the early hours), the access is difficult - I feel like people with disabilities would also be challenged. They could be more proactive in helping on this end. Only reason for the knock on atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Anthony Michael Chavez J. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice warm vibe, pretty decent selection of beer and the service wasn't bad either. Came as a pit stop on the way home and definitely will be back again.

  • 5/5 Catherine E. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Great local spot to work from and stay afterwards for an-after work beer. They've got a great selection of beers and ciders, and their grilled cheese is AMAZING. Staff is super friendly and knowledgable. Fantastic local gem to go with friends any day of the week.

  • 5/5 Walter B. 11 months ago on Google
    My favorite bar hands down. Knowlegable and extremely friendly staff. No pretension here, my friends, because they are passionate about turning you on to the beer or food that is going to make your day. The best grilled cheese in the world......especially the fig & arugula. Covenhoven just has such a feel-good atmosphere to it.

  • 5/5 Lina T. 8 months ago on Google
    If you like beer, go here. Nice patio out back. Lively atmosphere early on a Thursday evening.

  • 5/5 Michael N. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love the vibe of this establishment. BEER BEER BEER! Love the range in beers here - genius ! I'm looking forward to going back!

  • 5/5 John M. 8 months ago on Google
    Simply a perfect place for a pint in Crown Heights. I sat out back in the garden. No food on this trip but an excellent tap list and bottle/can selection. I'll be back. Soon!

  • 5/5 Hannah W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar and kitchen! I loved the back patio and personally, the cider selection was great. My fave was the blueberry peach cobbler cider!

  • 5/5 Andrea D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing bar with great beers, and excellent snacks (cheese, pretzels, grilled cheeses) the garden is also very nice and they offer also some board games

  • 4/5 Cainna C. 1 year ago on Google
    DIY shark choochie board! Their selection is tasty & affordable. They def need to get new knifes because cutting the salami is a job. Their selection is great if you’re into beer / craft beer. If you’re not into beer…they have wine & ciders that are pretty good. It gets super busy and warm in there. The staff isn’t super attentive but when I could get someone’s attention, they were helpful.

    Great atmosphere, surprising food and good beer.

  • 5/5 Donald W. 2 years ago on Google
    My wife and I stop by this venue on a Friday! Great ambience! The bartender was extremely helpful and nice! The beer was amazing along with my sandwich! We'll definitely be going back! Great hospitality!! 5☆☆☆☆☆

    This looks to be a great neighborhood tap room. We just popped in for a mid-afternoon brew on a nice spring day. There are about 15 or 16 interesting beers and ciders on tap with more options in the large cooler. We enjoyed the pleasant back garden but it appeared to us that, on most evenings, the main action probably takes place in the large front room. (There is also a bar food menu which we failed to examine.) If we had not known exactly where we were going, we would have easily overlooked the place as the "Covenhoven" signage is pretty subtle.

  • 5/5 Erin M. 1 year ago on Google
    My number 1 regular spot in the neighborhood for casual hangs and dates! So many great beers, immaculate vibes, the back yard is the absolute best, they have board games and trivia nights, I even find this place to be a great solo spot to come with my laptop during certain hours. Plus you can grab-and-go from the massive beer fridge! It's honestly one of my favorite spots - I've been coming here for years!

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot say enough about how much I love this bar. The atmosphere (especially the backyard when it's nice out) is 10/10. The drink selection is so varied and changes all the time, and when you're getting deep in your cups their grilled cheese hits different. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

  • 5/5 Franklin Sound S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best beer bar in the city. They pay attention to details like... clean glasses, proper serving pressure/temperature, great selection. They have coolers full of curated regional and international beers so you can always find something interesting to try. The staff is knowledgeable. Breweries make this place their first stop in the city to do tap takeovers. They don't do a lot of food but what they have they do well. Makes it hard to go to other bars knowing I'll always have a great experience here.

  • 4/5 Tanner A. 2 years ago on Google
    Chill spot to hang out and play some games. It can get loud and there isn't much outdoor space, which is fun and welcome if that's what you're going for. Nice bartenders, good beers on tap.

  • 3/5 Christopher P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great beers on tap and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. On the day I went there was only one guy running the whole bar and he was clearly stressed out and pretty grumpy. I'd be grumpy too if I was managing such a big crowd by myself!

  • 4/5 Alberto Al a. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to hang out in the neighbourhood. Their craft beer selection is extensive. I like it more during warm weather where they open their front terrace

  • 5/5 Lauren N. 2 years ago on Google
    A favorite neighborhood bar! Amazing selection of libations (draft + cans) plus a great spot to source some tasty meats, cheese and olives. I love Covenhoven.
