Brew YorkFebruary 26, 2014This German beer bar, opened by two Brooklyn residents that grew up in the Black Forest region of Germany, serves up over a dozen traditional brews on tap and all the traditional food to go with it!
Robert ShoykhetJanuary 4, 2016Bratwurst is obviously great, as are those crispy shoestring fries. But the real secret of this place is that they might have the best burger in Brooklyn. Or at least my favorite!
Harris DeckerJanuary 29, 2015Awesome brunch spot in Fort Greene. Incredible menu filled with traditional brunch items like French toast and eggs, finished off with the best sausage and biscuits I've had in years. A+ in my book.
JP AnthonyOctober 30, 2016The wurst & beer are pretty much all I like. Definitely leave those "jerk" wings alone. Undercooked with absolutely NO flavor. They were Water Wings. Cool vibe tho. Good spot to get work done
Satia StevensSeptember 12, 2017Schnitzel here is fantastic. We had pork and veal. The build-your-own includes 2 sides and it's totally worth the extra two bucks for the homemade spatzel.
Alex StillJanuary 30, 2017Got a soup and a bratwurst sandwich for nine bucks with the lunch special. Delicious. Some rare unpasteurized German beer on tap as well.- new morning coffee house features Brooklyn Roasting Company coffees and Serendipitea teas, and serves espresso drinks, drip coffee, and cold brew.
- black forest eggs benedict ("benedikt"): two poached eggs with black forest ham, tarragon hollandaise sauce, homemade biscuits, and green salad
TonyMay 4, 2014If you're into German beer and cuisine then you'll get a kick out of this spot. Huge projection screen on the wall is a nice touch for sports fans.- Fantastic! Great selection of beers, friendly staff, awesome looking food. Anything would be preferable to the gross abandoned medical center that held this space for years, but this is truly awesome.
CBS New YorkApril 26, 2016Black Forest Brooklyn is serving Rothaus Tannenzapfle and Beer-Battered Fried Mushrooms with Homemade Aioli for Ales N' Apps Week (May 9-13)- kaffeehaus serves an assortment of breakfast pastries and pretzels, granola and yogurt, egg sandwiches, and juice, 7am-2pm M-F
Nice atmosphere, good selection of beers and food. Friendly service. My local go-to for German food.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideNovember 26, 2014You might want to smuggle in coffee from Hungry Ghost down the street so that you can work in this beautiful, skylit, giant space, which at night is a beer garden/German restaurant.- brunch three egg rolled omelet with choice of fillings (here with slab bacon, toasted almonds, and goat cheese) and a green salad
- german breakfast: croissant, pretzel, soft boiled egg, charcuterie, cheese, banana, strawberry, nutella
Ron FosterDecember 30, 2014Delicious dessert. http://activities-eatsandtravels.blogspot.com/2014/12/germany-in-fort-greene-brooklyn.html?m=1
- Ron FosterDecember 30, 2014I loved this restaurant. http://activities-eatsandtravels.blogspot.com/2014/12/germany-in-fort-greene-brooklyn.html?m=1
Luc DoanNovember 24, 2015Cute German pub with a nice fun vibe. Beers are a little pricy but you get a good volume
- Pear and walnut spinach salad (shown here without bleu cheese, and with grilled chicken). Pears and walnuts are cooked.
- two eggs any style brunch with salad, Bratkartoffeln (basically home fries), toast and homemade preserves
I love this place! Everything is quality--food, drinks, staff, ambiance.- new brunch menu - make any brunch an unlimited boozy brunch (mimosas, biermosas, and bloody marys) for $15
- Black Forest burger with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Black Forest ham, served with french fries and mushroom gravy
- Ron FosterDecember 30, 2014I am twisted for their hot steamy pretzels. Yummy. http://activities-eatsandtravels.blogspot.com/2014/12/germany-in-fort-greene-brooklyn.html?m=1
Rothaus Pils--on tap, nonetheless. One of Germany's best pilsners, and this is the only place in the US that sells it.- bauernmädchen flammkuchen is flatbread with sour cream, kale, toasted almonds, cauliflower, and roast pumpkin
- schnitzel a la meyer - pork or chicken under onions and two eggs, served with salad and french fries
Mike M.March 7, 2015Small beer hall styled restaurant. Don't expect authentic beer hall atmosphere however. It's fully Broolynite. Good beer selection.- waldschrat flammkuchen - flat bread with truffled wild mushrooms, sour cream, and carmelized onions
Come here if you'd like to take a shotski in a classy establishment- original flammekuchen is a little bit like a sour cream and bacon pizza. I was not prepared for how large it would be
- veal medallions in mushroom cream sauce over spaetzle with green salad lunch special $9.5
Sarah F. ParsonsMarch 22, 2014On weekends it's open from 12 pm on all day! Great beergarden and german sausages and rare crafts beers on draft!
Chelsea RenaudMay 10, 2016This is a mini Biergarten type place offering all kinds of German delights alongside an impressive beer menu.- rindergulasch mit spätzle - braised beef goulash over homemade egg noodles, with house salad
EssDot323December 27, 2013Great restaurant but I'm not a fan of the growing number of alcohol-serving establishments being stroller friendly. I felt like I was in Park Slope.- Paulette OsborneOctober 7, 2016the wurst baskets are reasonably priced and delicious. the grapefruit beer was also tasty.
- Ron FosterDecember 30, 2014Great German Beer http://activities-eatsandtravels.blogspot.com/2014/12/germany-in-fort-greene-brooklyn.html?m=1
Edomia zaide BereheJuly 7, 2017Good brew and nice vibe. Nice place to hang out for a casual evening.
Rick KincaidJanuary 14, 2014Great beer selection, though I was a little ticked off to see I got charged $4.00 for a ginger ale for my friend that wasn't drinking, and they charged me again for the refill. Ridiculous.
Lovely space, friendly service, tasty food with huge portions! Oh yeah, and beer too.- free wifi network is "Black Forest Brooklyn", password is "happy123"
The flammkuchen are big enough for two. I personally loved the waldschrat
- apfelsaft is apple juice; apfelschorel is apple juice with soda water. #nonalcoholic
