    I love the ambience of this place from as soon as I walked in the door they had some nice low light seating and a few people at the bar but they also had some booths you can sit in towards the back. My friend my wife and I came here to have a few beers and my wife’s favorite which are ciders and they actually had some she’s never had! I would definitely come back here.

    Good selection of Belgian style US sours when I visited there. Very quiet early Sunday evening. Knowledgeable bar tender. Friendly local clientele. Worth a visit.

    I have the old Guinness signs that used to hang on the walls of this former Irish bar. Owls are a hoot and the beverages are tasty! Great craft beer selection. Owl definitely be back!

    The story of how I ended up here is that I was looking for something "refreshing" before going home. I searched Google Maps for a place where they sold beer and this place was close to me. I loved it since I came in, full of candles, bottles and a place at the bar with your own menu and a candle. They have craft beers, so I had no idea what to order. The guy in the bar was super nice to me. He asked me what kind of beer I drank regularly in order to find one that was to my liking. He gave me some to try and so I chose which one I wanted. He was always very kind (I would like to know his name to add it to my review), so if you are reading this, THANK YOU. Sometimes it's scary to go out alone, but I'm definitely happy to have gone because I loved this cozy place. That day they had rock music but I believe that is the kind of music they always have. 🙌😊

    Great bar in a great location. Staff is super kind and they have a good mix of boilermakers. Music is great too!

    I love the dimly lighted ambiance of this place. Also has some good brews. I had the plan bee pepper drink. It has unique pepper taste to it. I'm a pepper eater, so I appreciate this drink very much!

    Server was rude. I'm 21 years old and don't have much knowledge of bars so for this bartender to YELL at me instead of respectfully speaking to me is ridiculous. I'm new to the scene and honestly will not be back. The place is dirty and the servers are rude.

    For years Mission Dolores was my go to watering hole in Park Slope. Craft and local beers, knowledgeable staff, local and friendly clientele made for a great time always. When it closed I was one very sad person. One day I walk in to Owl Farm on a whim and there's Nico, one of the MD bartenders. I look on the menu board (chalk, just like Mission Dolores)- local beers by KCBC, Wild East, Sixpoint, Evil Twin. I've found my new Park Slope spot. The fact that it's 3 blocks away from my apt makes it that much more appealing.

    The Owl Farm has a really good selection of different beers at fair prices. It's a small bar with a cozy and fun vibe. The staff are always friendly and attentive, even when they're busy. Like a lot of Park Slope bars, it has some pinball machines in the back if you enjoy those. It's also right near the 4th Ave./9th St., so it's easily accessible l.

    Robin Will Steve Jared all rock. Killer chill vibe to match tap list and Cellar list. Wines are top notch. Bonus for having MGD and others for The Owl Farm INCLUDES everybody not just the guy sippin a rare Grimm bottle but the Park Slope guy who grew up here. You can bring food in or have it delivered. Also Cider peeps. The Owl a killer tap/bottle list for you also.

    Awesome place…I usually try to order a European beer when I sit in. This week I enjoyed the Rothaus Eiszapfle. Great bar and servers are always helpful!

  • 5/5 Alex K. 1 year ago on Google • 47 reviews
    Excellent pizza, wine selection, and local beers. Nice outdoor space for kids or dogs. Meatballs were really good!

  • 5/5 Jack K. 3 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Proud to call it my local. Very nice bartenders. If you prefer nicer beers that are quality, this is the place. Special shout out to Nico or Eric. Might be remembering names wrong, but they are terrific people.

  • 5/5 Tim M. 10 months ago on Google
    My most favorite bar in all of Brooklyn with so many beer options and great atmosphere… Jarred is my favorite bartender!!!!

  • 5/5 Joey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar. Seating is aplenty and lighting is scarce, just like it should be. They have a great selection of drinks — including non alcoholic dare — so it's hard to run out of options. They also have a couple of classic pinball machines in the back, in case your thirst can only be quenched by some '90s style entertainment.

  • 5/5 James B. 6 months ago on Google
    The best beer around here by far. I'd give an extra star for the owl paraphernalia and the music if it were possible to do so.

  • 5/5 Leo C. 9 months ago on Google
    Good local bar. Pinball available, but with high replay score because of local pinball league. Friendly place to go.

  • 5/5 Sara L. 7 months ago on Google
    Chill bar with a great beer selection! Bartender was awesome, vibes were great, and beer selection was really good. Also dog friendly!

  • 5/5 Pat T. 9 months ago on Google
    Great neighborhood bar. Beer selection is very diverse, with a few obligatory sours and IPAs, and tons of chances to try something new. Bartenders are friendly if you aren't obnoxious.

  • 5/5 OF A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was such a nice and unexpected find. I was made aware of this bar when i called Niko about updating his car's warranty. Now normally people hang up immediately because they think I'm trying to scam them (I am) but Niko took it upon himself to waste my time for a good 20 minutes before i realized he didn't even have a car. After that i was hooked on his personality and i knew i had to meet him. So i made the trek from Akron to Brooklyn and it was worth wvery penny.

    Great tap list for beer and looks like decent cocktails (but didn’t order one). Very good spirit list. Service is super friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 D R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute bar, great beer selection. They have plenty of options for non beer drinkers too, love the spritz and fernet on tap. Staff is great but Niko is the best. Also: pinball!

  • 5/5 Tim S. 1 year ago on Google
    This has interesting, rare or even unique taps, and even more interesting bottles. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, and a good dark place to sit. Perfect beer bar.

  • 4/5 Nathan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Quiet-ish bar decorated with owl themed artwork. Dog friendly and they let you bring in food from outside!

  • 4/5 Mark R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a really nice bar with a decent crowd. Didn't check the prices though so don't know but I'll go back at some point.

  • 5/5 Fat H. 1 year ago on Google
    Greatest playlist of all time! I tipped the bartender $30 because the Brits didn't tip s**t
