Tony XerriJuly 20, 2012Shuffleboard + Juicy Lucy + Cheese Curds + Spicy Pickles + Chicken Fingers + Amazing Beer + Cheap Prices + Friendly Staff + Friendly Crowd = Fantastic Time. Now say all that three times in a row fast.
Nina NiremaMarch 12, 2014One of my fave bars in the area. Great vibe, excellent drinks, shuffleboard, and CHEESE CURDS. And wait for it... they have pretty great beer + shot specials.
My favorite neighborhood bar to have a negroni. Chill vibe, sometimes busy. Typical bar food & a great patio for when summer comes back.
Dane BNovember 17, 2019Probably one of the best happy hour deals around (burger, fries, & 'gansett tallboy for $10). But just a heads-up that it's a regular cheeseburger and not their Juicy Lucy on the menu!
Scott WilliamsDecember 9, 2012If you told me yesterday that I would actually like taking a shot of pickle juice, I would say that you were crazy. Today, thanks to burnside, I know it's awesome. Try the $5 powers + pickleback.
Joshua IngramMarch 17, 2013Cocktails be delicious. Very cool vibe. Good liquor selection. Don't be fooled - not a dive bar, but manages to feel like one while also feeling slightly upscale and laid back at the same time
David WilsonMay 15, 2016Can't really go wrong with anything. Burger, fries, BLT, and cheese curds were all solid. Cozy back patio, and shuffleboard. Good layout in general.
Dee PhunkJuly 6, 2013One of the shot specials is a Powers pickleback. Powers whiskey shot + Brooklyn Brine pickle juice chaser. One of the best picklebacks I've had in the area.
Cocktails. Fried cheese curds. Juicy Lucy. Bartenders are all cool dudes and dames. Come early and stay late.
I thought the juicy Lucy was the jam. And then I had the BLT. BLT to end all BLTs.
Jen KatanMarch 28, 2016really sweet little rocknroll bar great for a $6 bloody mary when stranded in between air bnbs :) decent music playing when I was there- Erin FitzsimmonsMarch 18, 2018Favorite neighborhood spot. Great bartenders, good beers, shuffleboard!
Hannah LaHoodJanuary 13, 2017Really tasty bar food!! The deep fried cheese curds and juicy lucy burger were delicious.
Marty AllenJanuary 8, 2012Everything about the Burnside, from atmosphere to draft list, is The Very Awesome. But I echo all sentiments stating the two sacred words: cheese curds!- Missy KJanuary 9, 2012Love this place. Easily becoming one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn. If you go when it's not busy, play some shuffle board with friends.
Ashley AlvarezSeptember 13, 2014Cute, nice on-tap list, cheese curds. Hid out here on a rainy day and was perfectly happy.- Lears FoolDecember 8, 2015I worked at Lambeau Field for a season and I can vouch for these Cheese Curds. So good.
Ripping on Midwestern transplants is a popular sport in New York, but you can't deny that some of the Midwest's artery-clogging regional specialties are damn tasty.
The Juicy Lucy has melted cheese in the center of the patty :|
Leah MaloneSeptember 24, 2014Like a kid in a Wisconsin cheese shop. The Midwestern beer selection and cheese curds transport you back.
Alyxa LeaseJuly 29, 2014Cozy outdoor spot for afternoon shots (I mean drinks, who gets afternoon shots)
Wait... All these comments and nobody mentioned their cocktails. The "brandy old fashioned" is really damn good... One in Top 10 in NYC... For sure...- Dee PhunkDecember 7, 2014Come for the cocktails. Stay for the cheese curds. Seriously, they're REALLY good.
Mark ArmendarizOctober 15, 2011Free cheese doodles and half off the fancy dribj menu all weekend for their Grand Opening. Also... awesome new bar smell.
Caitlin BerensJuly 20, 2013Cute lighting fixtures, massive and tasty cheese-filled burger, AND fried cheese curds :)
cheap beers, big interior, small outdoor area. shuffleboard!
Katie FlynnJanuary 5, 2012The Juicy Lucy is no Matt's and the cheese curds are no MN State Fair, but both are pretty darn good substitutes for Minnesota transplants!
Juicy Lucy burger is a must. MUST. For cocktails try the sparkling rose
Megan OddsenSeptember 9, 2012Sheboygan Brat, Lienenkugel, Sprecher... If you know how to pronounce these words from the menu, you'll feel right at home. #Wisconsin
Food is amazing! They also have brunch now. Best bar in the neighborhood
Cheese curds! Cheese curds! Cheese curds! Plus I love Chad Powell
They serve brunch now and it's great. You won't be sorry.
