    I hate to say this because it feels cliche but it's honestly true. The Well is a hidden gem in Brooklyn/NYC. From the background music that was apparently pulled from the shuffle radio of my dreams to the incredibly knowledgeable bar staff like Ian who would would wax poetic on the brewing process of beers with minimal prompting, The Well has all the extras that make a bar worth revisiting. Upon walking in the door you descend a small set of stairs into what feels like a sunken living room watering hole of your own. The amount of unique draft beers available can be intimidating for anyone but the staff seem happy to help narrow down your choices based on personal preference and their own favorites. The Well features live music most nights of the week in a venue space known as No Vacancy. The nights I visited featured everything from national hip hop acts to local punk groups performing in an intimate space that couldn't hold more than 100 people. A much larger beer garden space is hidden outback. It has to hold nearly 500 people and is used for local festivals and casual warm weather drinking. Beautiful wall sized art adorns the walls of this beautiful historic building that housed breweries dating back before the prohibition era on the early 1930s. Check this place out, ask for Ian and make sure to bring some friends for an upcoming show. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and the men's room smells like Wintergreen mints.

    We went here for the Beers without Beards festival, which was held out the back of the well. What an amazing festival, filled with friendly brewers and beer aficionados. I wish I hadn't discovered the tequila...

    This place has a 4% credit card processing fee. This doesn’t strike me as the best practice, and I have a really difficult time believing that this is necessary. Other than this displeasure, the space is amazing, this bar has an outside space, couches, bar, benches, and live music.

    Great place. Strange and desolate location but don't let that dissuade you, this is definitely one of the more unique bar environments the city has to offer. Oh did I mention, it's pretty spacious with plenty of seating areas, which in it's self is difficult to find.

    The quiet clubbing party on Friday night was lit. There are people singing out loud to Madonna, and dancing merengue right next to each other . It is an amazing experience. The beer is insane, over 200 types to choose from. The inside is perfect for a night of partying and the outside is used for massive events during the summer. This is my new Brooklyn hotspot.

    This place has something for everyone. It's also built for speed, so if it gets real busy the lines move fast.
