This is definitely not the best bar in the neighborhood. You should never go here and enjoy the beers which are never delicious and the snacks which are never a great selection of meats and cheeses.
Best backyard in the hood. Put your name in at St Anselm and head next door. They'll text you when your table is ready and you can even bring your unfinished beverages in through the back door
AmateurConciergeDecember 12, 2018Beer lover spot with tons on tap and a few snacks on offer. Great place to grab a drink while you wait for your table at St Anselm. Can bring ur beers next door when dinner starts. Good tunes too
Johnnie SkywalkingJanuary 2, 2017Great spot when you have a long wait at St Anselm. But you would even enjoy waiting by having great selection of craft beer at the patio. Be sure to bring beer from here to St Anselm.
The nicest bartenders I've ever met! They went out of their way to take apart the sink and get the ring I dropped down the drain like an idiot. Great beer AND amazing people. Can't go wrong!
Sam CJuly 5, 2014Great place for post-Fette Sau chilling. Tables all the way in the back seem to allow smoking, so stay near the front of the yard if you don't want a cloud! Great beer/wine selection & tons of shade!!
Like A Local GuideFebruary 3, 2015Priding themselves on their bold choice of Belgian beers and their affinity for hard-to-get or rare beers, if all you want is an ice-cold Miller Light, I'd recommend staying far, far away. Read more
Alex MizrahiJune 17, 2013"A half dozen carefully selected drafts. One rotating cask ale, always fresh. Belgian beers divided into Flemish, Wallonian, and lambic styles. Cheese and charcuterie on a cutting board. There's..." Read more
SwigNovember 12, 2014Great selection of draft and bottled beer. They have a great backyard for warmer weather. If you're hungry check out their cheese and meat plates. Remember to Swig your drink.- Tanner WelshNovember 16, 2011Don't be intimidated by the $30 beers on the wall - they also have some very tasty brews on tap for the more economical drinker. A fave of mine = cherry stout. Also, the back patio is stupendous.
LukeJune 29, 2018An old standard that has a new buzz. The beer list is epic, but the wine list a low key hit, too. Try both in the backyard
Matthew HurstMarch 2, 2017Come in for the best craft beers, and bring a few friends with you to the patio in the back!
Jc QSeptember 16, 2014Come here for beer, wine, cheese or the huge garden in the back - you won't be disappointed. Also a good place to wait for your table at St. Anselm.
Brew YorkAugust 15, 2011The tap selection is small, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. The beers here are hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind imports and American craft brews. Plus, there's a great backyard!
Megan MFebruary 2, 2018Most diverse, rare, and far reaching beer menu I've ever seen. Cool atmosphere, great place to wait for a table at St. Anselm!
EsquireJanuary 31, 2011Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. We highly recommend the house cask ale, but there's no finer beer bar in the city, so really, you can't go wrong.
Raphael LangenscheidtJuly 15, 2015Great backyard, amazing beer selection and knowledgable bar tenders make this a very strong summer spot - for groups and dates.
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 21, 2011If you like Belgian Beer, then this is your spot. Grab a pint and head out to their outdoor garden. Also serve cheese & meat plates. Great place to just chill.
Adam HaunSeptember 24, 2018Overwhelming amount of beers to choose from. Comfortable and spacious patio in back. Def. check out
Jason CarlinJanuary 14, 2014'The correct pronunciation is “SPY-ten DYE-vil,” said Arthur Kibbelaar, consul for press and cultural affairs at the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands'- AmberNovember 3, 2016Super backyard beer spot. Just wish they would enforce their smoking area a little better.
Aaron KayMarch 23, 2015Don't fret about a wait next door at St Anselm. You're in good hands (and hops) at this low key beer bar.
Kristina RudicMarch 29, 2016Best for spring, summer or fall when you can actually sit outside in the back. They tend to overheat the inside during the colder months.
Emily WilsonDecember 10, 2016Here in the wintertime? Lucky you. Have the glögg if they're serving it. Mmm.
Anna PotterJuly 30, 2010Go in the evening and sit in the garden. Holy beautiful! Also, next door are some killer french fries--go all the way with cottage cheese, gravy, and add some chipotle to the ketchup. Mamacita!
Kate FurmanJuly 18, 2016Check out the patio out back, great place to grab a drink with a large group of friends.
Ben GaspariniAugust 28, 2016Cool little hole in the wall with nice brew selection. Can't even tell there is a garden out back.
Men's Health MagNovember 10, 2011This joint specializes in obscure and rare beers. Hansje Drinker Triple? Zum Uerige Dusseldorf Alt? Hard to pronounce, let alone find the fridge. Luckily, these barkeeps know their beer.
Extensive selection of beers, delicious mulled wine in the winter, large backyard.
Michael JampolAugust 7, 2012Being that it is a beer garden, it has an amazing backyard and quite a fine selection of beers. If you are near-by, stop in!
WyngspanJanuary 27, 2014A wide selection of beer from over 14 different countries. A backyard that was made to drink beer in ( when it's warm):
Alexandra I.August 26, 2014Cool crowd, even better beer selection. The patio in the back is great for a big group!
Amy TremmelMarch 23, 2015All the craft beers on tap, but this place gets super crowded on weekends. The backyard is great in the summer!!- victor zambranoSeptember 26, 2011beers from around the world, packed with very expensive bottles of my favourite lambics. ample backyard makes it for an excellent summer bar.

Always an interesting selection of craft Belgian beers. Also some good wines
İpek A.January 30, 2015They have good Georgian wines & delicious mulled wine. Nice place for late night.
Evan AllenJuly 12, 2013Don't bother reading the menu if you're not quaint with international beers. Just tell the bartender what kind you want, or what you're used to. They'll help you out.
Manish MelwaniJuly 4, 2010crazy pickles (we had okra!) and cold cuts (duck prosciutto, anyone?) and the best beer selection ever i've encountered in my life. and beer & me, we are good friends indeed. also, the backyard!!!!!
Monica CullenAugust 24, 2015Brooklyn's very own secret garden! No table service out back, so grab a beer before you go outside.
Hitachino White is not only delicious, it comes in the cutest beer bottle known to wo/man.
Kevin RodriguezApril 9, 2013Super chill backyard space. A bit pricey but amazing rare beer selection. Recommend!
Village VoiceNovember 7, 2011For the ADD set - this place has a beer menu that changes daily! Look out for rare and small batch brews.
