Yer basic taproom, a bunch of their own great beers on draught and can, mix of lager, IPA and silly stout. Bar staff that know the beers.

The afternoon I visited there was a DJ on playing some light rock, a nice amount of background ambience without getting in the way of having a conversation.
Great beers from KCBC.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was pretty quiet.

The choice of beers was very good with lots of different styles to try.

We opted for a tasting board, which allows you to pick any four beers that they have on tap.

This is a great offer and allowed us to sample some amazing beers, including a great 14% imperial stout.
There is no best way to start a trip to New York than with some great IPAs.
Second time to KCBC still the best!
And definitely some of the best can designs.
If you love beer you have to go there.
This spot is amazing, the vibe is cool. There is a Wide variety of beers. My beverage of choice is Cider or sangria. Just so you know that IPA hits.
This place is like a second home to me, with good reason. Amazing staff, best brewery for quality and variety in the area, and one of the best in NYC period. Very friendly to the local art scene too, if their comic-art style labeling doesn’t give that away.
Not only one of the greatest breweries for different IPA’s, but the brewery offers a great option for seating, ambiance, and it’s dog-friendly! The neighborhood is unique and artsy. Highly recommended!
Pizza (pepperoni with spicy marinara) and garlic bread were delicious and service was excellent. We LOVED that multiple servers told inconsiderate families with screaming children to keep the noise under control. To those servers: We appreciate you guys supporting those of us who want to have a restaurant experience at a restaurant. 🙏🏻
Cool funky vibe with great brews never had a stout from KCBC before was pleasantly surprised and IPAs here are always a standout. Really nice cicerones behind the bar know their brews. Pizza recos in the area weren't as awesome but brews they know spot on...

One of the our best neighbourhood bar finds! Great selection of craft beer, delicious sandwiches and pretzel and super cosy setting.

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.
Food was good. A quick stop for a drink and a meal. Nice community area to walk around and also sit at the park
An excellent pub in Brooklyn Heights. The bartender and entire staff are on point, swift and smart. The food is good pub fare, I had the fried chicken sandwich, and while a bit dry, it hit the spot. I’ll be back as often as I can for this staple in NYC pubs. Nachos are great!
Excellent place and location, right by some incredible bars. We got the sweet sausage with caramelised onion and classic margarita with a pitcher of beer for 4 to share. While it looks unexciting, it is DELICIOUS. I'd definitely try more of the specials next time. We got a booth on a Friday night so were quite lucky. I'd definitely recommend to come for a chill vibe with friends before hitting cocktail bars after.
This quiet little hide away is a gem, from the staff to the food to the drinks it’s a great date night venue.
My favorite dish is the green apple pumpkin seed salad. It’s sweet, healthy and the portion is well priced. Add a side of guacamole and chips with a homemade lemonade 🥰 delich

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!

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.
I came here recently to see a film that wasn't playing in the theaters closest to my house. This place reminds me Nitehawk Cinema where they serve food and alcohol and not just your standard movie theater snacks and drinks. The set-up is also the same where you write down what you want, push the button in front of you, and wave for one of the staff to come and collect your order. Everything comes out pretty fast, and the waitstaff makes sure they don't disturb you or disrupt the film. Thirty minutes before the film ends, you get the check. They have a decent sized menu, and of course, the pricing is what you would expect from a movie theater. The place is kept clean and seating is comfortable in my opinion. I just wished they had a slightly larger area for food and drinks. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience, and I will definitely come here again in the future.
The staff here is awesome, they always have great movies playing, and I love the unique call button system for ordering food and drinks. However, they don't have the recliners like their lower Manhattan location or many other theaters in NYC, which is unfortunate. Still super comfy, but I love a good recliner.
Only movie theater to survive in downtown Brooklyn as far as I know. Comfortable seating, good sound and projection quality, excellent food service throughout the movie .

Toilets have the nice touch of warm water for handwashing.

Easy to order tickets and pick seats online
During our NY visit we have done a nice walk to Brooklyn, that is how we learned about this place. I loved their food and laid back atmosphere. Service was very nice.
I went to this restaurant to meet a friend. The waitress kept interrupting us to ask us what we were going to get from the menu. The food was okay and the atmosphere was ok. It's a little noisy as well. The beer selections were great as well and the food prices were reasonable. I might try it out again in the future.
Had lunch here with my son and husband. The meals were wonderful, the salad I had was flavourful and they even gave me the recipe for the dressing. Good selection of beer. Really cool vintage touches throughout the bar.
My husband got tickets for Oppenheimer at this cinema and we didn't know anything about it. When we got there, instead of a popcorn stand, we found a bar. The bar was great, and my cocktail was delicious. But the decor was pretty bizarre. Then, we used the escalators to get to the top floor . I was still looking for a soda and popcorn stand. But there wasn't one. When I got to the room, I was surprised to see all of the seats spread out, very spacious, and with tables between them. Turns out they had a whole menu and service to the comfortable seats - from popcorn to hamburgers, from soda to sparkling wine. They even had an option to write down your order and push a button mid-movie to get more food/drinks. We absolutely loved the experience.

The kids cheese pizza was not a fan favorite. I tried it after the little ones rejected it and it was similar to school cafeteria pizza. The regular pizzas and pastas ordered among our group was basic at best and we left more food on the table than we wished.

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.

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)
Good food and service. Overall not a bad experience but the seats do not recline and to be honest kind of too close to one another.
Great place to watch a movie and eat. Servers are nice kind helpful when needed. There’s no phone allowed during moves so that’s great thing. Really built the movie theater chair placement well. As feels like can’t pick bad seating in this company movie theater’s. As for food it’s good with amazing selection of beer,wine, soda if want.

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.
The girlfriend and I weren’t terribly impressed with this place. All the food we got was not in line with what we had expected. We were especially disappointed by the chicken tenders, which were nothing like the stereotypical chicken tender you’re going to get anywhere else. They’re battered with tiny (I mean tiny) slivers of chicken. Don’t think we will go back if we are craving bar food of any kind. Fried pickles were decent though.
This theater is located on the 4th floor. The escalators are pretty fast, but as it get closer to 3pm, there are a lot of kids around target on the 2nd floor. Each individual screening room is on another floor. This location only has 7 screening rooms and no reclining seats. This place does open earlier than the one in Manhattan, but the one in Manhattan has reclining seats. This location doesn’t have all of the latest releases since they don’t have that many screening rooms. The service is amazing and I love how they have specific times with sensory screening and open captioning. The food and service is pretty good. I prefer fries over popcorn, so Alamo is always my theater of choice. Their burgers are amazing, but I feel that their unlimited drinks are a bit over priced. If this location had reclining seats, this would be 5 stars. They also have limited menu items as well as amazing loaded fries. For me, this location offers dinner and a show! What’s not to like,
Hazy IPA lover’s paradise.
- Dog friendly, nice space, friendly service, great beer!
- Outside food is allowed to eat here.
- Happy Hours, yes!
- fruity sour beer, yes!

We ordered 2 Hazy IPA with the servers’ recommendation and they are sooo good!
Dynamite Evaluation is my favorite that comes with a fruity aurora and 🫧, very flavorful and refreshing!
Pub in Brooklyn. It is truly a Pub with big choice of draft and can beer. We got roast beef sandwich that supposed to be with the gravy and it was so dry and beef was so old not fresh at all plus fries was so saggy and greasy. Not good experience for bar food. I guess this spot is still good to hang out with friends and get a beer but food make sure you go somewhere else.
Not far from a great skyline spot, this pizzeria is good place if you want to take a break before you go take some pictures.
Great pizzas, their thin crust signature make a change from the other pizzas we can find.
Their pizza taste good but are a bit small for the price.
But they tried to scam us by making us pay for 20% gratuity + tips.
Love the thin wood oven fried pizza; Super yum. They also take reasonable customization requests, which I really appreciate!

Update (2/17): Pizza is still super yum!
I enjoyed watching a movie at this theater. Everything about the atmosphere was great. I was not planning on eating there but I bet people who ordered had an even better time. It can get chilly inside and for popular movies I will recommend booking ahead of time. And from the announcements it looks like they are hiring and there are a lot of perks for working there!

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.
This place is a fantastic Italian restaurant! 🇮🇹 Brado has a wonderful selection of classes Italian dishes! 🍽️ They have it all - pizza 🍕, pasta 🍝, lasagna, and chicken 🍗 parm 🧀! Definitely try the Chicken 🐔 Parmesan! Their lunch special is super affordable 🏷️ and comes with a drink 🥤 for $1-$1.5 - got the Arnold Palmer 🧊🫖🍋 and loved it! Staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and service is quick! I wish I came here more often!
Amazing thin crust pizza, extremely delighted with its exquisite flavor, it was almost perfect, a really nice experience overall! I would go back to this place in a heartbeat, no doubt about it!

Great little watering hole with a surprisingly strong food offering. It looks like the normal pub-grub on the menu (burger, fish and chips) but was all really high caliber and freshly prepared. We were there on a quiet Sunday afternoon and it seems to be set-back far enough from the Dumbo tourist crowd to avoid being packed out, which is a shame for them but makes it a bit of a hidden treasure.
Excellent beer options and friendly staff too.
