EaterMarch 4, 2014The owners of the classic Brouwerij Lane have always been "in deep," with New York beer: beyond the cozy retail/bar combo they have also been importing and distributing to other bars and restaurants.
Village VoiceApril 3, 2015Greenpoint Beer & Ale Company brews on-site, and you'll find seasonal beers rotating through the taps. Everything pairs nicely to brewpub fare that exceeds expectations. Order the chicken schnitzel. Read more
lOYDA pAGANNovember 15, 2015Great beer tastings (and I'm not even a beer drinker). You're sure to find something you like here. Great location, great young family friendly vibe, humongous screen. Super easy parking.
Tony XerriJune 29, 2016Why are you reading this? Get the cauliflower schnitzel already!!! While you're at it, get the chicken schnitzel too, because it's the size of California!!!
Best new Brooklyn beer garden in new north brooklyn area (nobo). From the awesome founder of Greenpoint favorite #browjerilane and owners of #peterssince1969 is this dope spot with best bar food!
TomOctober 6, 2014Great house brewed beer w/ obscure and experimental styles brewed for each season. The crowds can be intense on the weekend...but the beer is worth wadding through the crowd.
Eitan LidergotSeptember 1, 2014Giant schnitzel and tons of beers that they brew on tap. Great to hang out before/after a Vans House Party show since it's across the street.
David GavinMarch 21, 2015The DOG trio band is killer. Stuffed with pulled pork and fried calamari is the only way to listen to this blues, jazz, fusion group! Order food at the kitchen. Mussels aren't too bad.- DoubleDeuceJune 8, 2015Built like a beer hall with tons of natural light coming in from all directions. Great beer choices and a definite happy vibe. Top-notch brewery, for sure.
loran jonakJune 8, 2016Nice alternative to the crazy lines at Brooklyn Brewery. Grab a seat then go order food from the kitchen, then grab a tasty beer from the bartender. No waiters here
James CSeptember 4, 2017Nice menu options for food and great flights for tasting all the beers. Large space with lots of seating. Good for a weekend outing.
The wedge salad comes topped with maple glazed bacon. Allow me to repeat myself for emphasis. The wedge salad comes topped with Maple. Glazed. Bacon.
Katie BurnsFebruary 19, 2014The glass garage doors, great for late spring/summer, this winter = freezing. The 1 wood fireplace does not heat a space of this size. You will be keeping your coat on the entire time you are here.
AliceMarch 18, 2014This place is pretty awesome. The vibe is laid back and the beer is really good! I didn't have any of the food but it sure did smell amazing
Victoria U.May 31, 2014Came on a brew tour. Highly recommended- tried several different type of beer and they were ALL good. Good for weddings and groups.
Brew YorkFebruary 26, 2014From the folks behind Greenpoint's Brouwerij Lane is this spacious beer hall featuring local brews, house-made brews, and fragrant food that wafts from the open kitchen.
Great German feel beer garden/brewery. Greenpoint is making some really nice beers.
Margarita KrupOctober 29, 2015Great space, delicious food and great drinks. Try the pierogies, humus, and the chicken schnitzel.
Tim DewaldAugust 29, 2015Great selection of German brews but don't skip the local stuff. It's outstanding. Solid, unique styles.
Sarah SpagnoloApril 20, 2015Surprisingly easy to nab an outdoor table in the sun. Ask for spicy pickles. No, my buddy did not take the gold-rimmed rose glasses, I swear
Jackie SmithJuly 20, 2014I love this place great beers and I hear the food is amazing. However don't get the sour cream ale it was too much like liquid sour cream.
Lucas UllrichDecember 31, 2014The place is great. They brew their own beer and have a solid dinner menu. However, execution of some items on the menu could have been better. Some of the food arrived a bit cold.
Alexandria VaradyFebruary 17, 2014Great atmosphere. Excellent beers, and food is better than you'd expect. We'll definitely make it a regular visit.
Raul Jimenez IIJuly 7, 2017Beer is a give in, amazing. But the food was unexpectedly delicious. Great space too!
Dan MilanoAugust 18, 2015Drink pricing was moderate, mousse was tasty though not wildly espresso tasting, bathrooms were oddly propped open so half the restaurant could peer inside each multi-stall room
Ben EversonSeptember 15, 2014Fantastic house-brewed beers. Get the sour cream ale, quay st IPA, 11 hour brisket, fries, and schnitzel.
As much as you want to, they won't let you climb on the roof to see the stained glass water tower.
Briana WuagneuxMarch 2, 2014Get the wedge salad and the fries. Brick chicken left something to be desired. Great beer and atmosphere!
Ali AndersonJanuary 4, 2015Awesome Scandinavian beer and food; try the wedge salad & Brussels sprouts.
Amazing rotating list of beer that just keeps getting better over the months
Erik SchomburgSeptember 18, 2018They helped set the standard for new IPAs, and the food has gotten really good.
During the magic hour the (sun)lighting alone is worthy of a delicious beer any season.
NickleshMay 3, 2014Soft scrambled eggs. Buttery, chive-filled, deliciousness. Wash it down with a smoky Helle's Gate.- Best place for parties and surprise birthdays! Owners arnon and Ed are amazing:)
They brew a few great beers here. Love the huge round bar.
Indoor/outdoor seating and a HUGE projector screen for all sporting events.
Andrea BarrezuetaOctober 28, 2014You feel really small if you sit at the bar, on the front near the bathrooms. Really funny.
