    Casual and chill neighborhood bar with a wide beer selection. They even gave me a water bowl for my dog, which I appreciated. I spent $8 per beer, which I found to be a bit higher-priced. Note that they have a $15 minimum for credit cards. Service was just okay, my bartender seemed annoyed when I was trying to get her advice on what to order (I noticed she was being a lot more friendly with the male customers). All in all, this seems like a place for beer lovers but I personally do not plan to be a frequent customer given the lackluster service.

    racist! now, I've been here before because I work in the area. this particular day I was walking past this establishment and stopped by their outdoor tables for two seconds, in passing, because I needed to resituate my lunch. literally, 2-3 seconds and the dirty blonde that works inside came running out, with an attitude, like can I help you, this is a private establishment you can't be here. again, i just so happened to stop in my path for 2 seconds which so happened to be in front of their bar and I was on the public side walk. lucky for her I had to get back to work and I just didn't have the energy to entertain her. she did that because I'm black because there was no reason whatsoever for her to approach me at all. now if she had any decency she should have afforded me the opportunity (from inside) to wait and see if I was even going to stay at their tables. again, I stopped for 2 seconds she came storming outside. racism at its finest.

    Spacious pub with a wide and impressive selection of beers on tap. Friendly bar staff and clean, well maintained amenities. There's even a small outdoor space at the back. Plus, a real dart board towards the end of the bar!

    No food ordered, just after work drinks w coworkers. Had not patronized this spot in years. They have a really cool board game (& darts) section w a sofa, and I believe an outdoor back patio. Drinks were, eh ok (measured pours and too much ice), but they have a great variety of middle to top shelf choices.

    They had a great selection of spirits avaliable. The atmosphere of the bar was pleasant and the bartender was polite and prompt with their service. They require proof of vaccination for indoor seating but to my knowledge that has become mandated for NYC. They had a good selection of sports games on their TVs and were accommodating with changing what was on as there were not too many people in the bar when I was there.

    Great beer selection and amazingly friendly service! If I lived in town, this would be my regular bar.

  • 5/5 Amanbir G. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite neighborhood bar. The staff is friendly and there’s a great beer selection. I’m not sure why Google has them listed as closed, but they are open 7 days a week.

  • 5/5 Kim T. 10 months ago on Google
    Self service at the bar If you like rock music, this is a good place to go. Old school bar.

  • 5/5 Matthew E. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool spot to drink, prices are reasonable. Bartenders were polite and also recommended the best deli in the area at 1:30am..

  • 5/5 Nicole A. 2 years ago on Google
    Relaxing setting, fantastic staff, and some delicious drinks. It was refreshing to be able to talk to friends without yelling over music. The perfect atmosphere for a easy night out. A must recommend!

  • 5/5 Brittney G. 4 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    The atmosphere here is pretty dope. TVs all around and sports were playing. It's loud but no louder than the average bar - and that was more so because people were cheering for their winning basketball team. But it's pretty cozy here otherwise. Comfy lounge area, nice ambiance/lighting, and very chill. If you're looking for a spot to chill or hole up in, this is definitely it! My friend had a virgin margaritas 🍹 it was pretty good.

  • 4/5 Gregory P. 6 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    I was especially happy with both bartenders that I encountered (shift change); professional, kind, and helpful. Discovered a back porch area when heading to the restroom; headed out there to find a wonderful group of patrons and hung out. A really good experience on all counts.

  • 5/5 Gilles L. 9 months ago on Google
    Great ambiance, great beer and great staff. What else do you need?

  • 5/5 Adam H. 7 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Naomi P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great frozé!! Super nice staff

  • 4/5 Howard H. 10 months ago on Google
    Not sure why this shows up as a restaurant. There is only limited food here, like popcorn and chips.

  • 5/5 Satish P. 2 years ago on Google
    Omg this is such a hidden gem in front of plain sight, Sacha and kim, such beautiful souls, but truly a place to check out, for the locals and foreign, if you want a nice place to relax and enjoy a cocktail

  • 5/5 Jim F. 1 year ago on Google
    Brazen Head is an endangered species, a really good local bar. Great beer and whisky selections, low key atmosphere, just right!

  • 5/5 Jesse O. 1 year ago on Google
    Still drunk but my review is genuine: the entire staff are so lovely!! The bartender who’s name I did not catch was a GEM of a human being and the bouncer was the sweetest man. It’s NYE and everyone is a mess but I know my 2023 is off to an amazing start with great friends and a bizarrely great experience at a bar with lovely people. Thanks!!

  • 5/5 Aryeh W. 1 year ago on Google

    Monday Trivia is so so fun there! Highly recommend- I forget the host's name but he is wonderful !

  • 4/5 Barry O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cosy bar, great if you're tired of the deafening sports bar scene. So-so craft beer selection. Quirky bar staff, who like beastie boys a _lot_ :)

  • 1/5 Marcy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredibly rude staff.

  • 1/5 Mateusz M. 2 years ago on Google
    Bartender was an absolute hack. Get a different job if you don’t like working with people.

  • 4/5 Erika C. 1 year ago on Google
    Solid no frills pub with a good beer selection and plenty of cozy places to sit for groups and dates alike. Weekend evenings are busy and louder but can be a nice and quiet place to chat during the week.
