Aimée Jane ParrJanuary 3, 2021Great spot for evening drinks, chill low lit vibe. Lots of beer on offer both from the fridges (for your favourite brands) or on tap for some local/different options. Outside area out back. Recommend.

Hilda UraDecember 22, 2014Great ambience, cozy spot, and a good selection of bottled craft beers and beers on tap. Need to know what to buy though, some of which are available elsewhere at $2.
Michael AnthonySeptember 23, 2017Great patio with grass outdoors, make your own cheese plate is incredible and awesome beer selection
Huge beer selection (to stay and to go), free Wi-Fi. Only food item is a pretzel, so you already know it's gonna be killer (newsflash: they source their pretzels from Pelzer's http://4sq.com/1blkU55)
16 great and ever-changing beers on tap plus hundreds of cans and bottles available. Grill cheeses and cheese plates for eats. Grassy patio in back for warm days.
Andrew WiebeMay 4, 2016Beer, grilled cheese and good vibes. Diverse tap list with real quality and rarity. Coolers for can/bottle consumption or takeout. Board games. Backyard. A++ in my book.
Gabriel HayesSeptember 9, 2015Has both the best draft beer selection and canned beer selection in Crown Heights / Prospect Heights. For canned beers, you can enjoy on premise or take them to go.
Alex RobertsonJune 18, 2022It’s probably the best beer bar in NYC in terms of space/aesthetics, and probably somewhere in the #5-10 range in terms of beer selection- Excellent beer bar and bottle shop. nice outdoor space/patio in the warmer months. pro tip: get the cheddar jack sandwich with bacon and add fig jam
- Drink it all. Each and every beer. You can’t go wrong. Oh, and the grilled cheese is dope too. Pairs well with a board game in the back corner.
Cole KennedyApril 11, 2016Awesome spot to while away an afternoon. Order cool beers and play board games!
I'm in love with the beer curation. Enjoy one (or several) inside or in the uncluttered backyard
Zack SheppardJanuary 16, 2020Super duper packed on the weekends. One of the few bars that stocks actually GOOD alcohol-free beers.- Deanna MatthewsOctober 1, 2016Awesome place to come on a rainy day. Cozy , great beer and a huge selection of board games
C BaileyJuly 14, 2020I don’t think it’s possible to describe how good the grilled cheeses are. Huge selection of beer cans and bottles as well as some drafts.
Le LoFebruary 6, 2020Loud - but great beer and delicious bratwurst in a tasty pretzel bun. Also check out the huge to-go beer selection.
John CoatesJune 13, 2015One of the best beer lists. Ask the bartender for help. And lovely grass filled backyard. Maybe the best in Brooklyn.- Gabriel HayesSeptember 9, 2015On a weekend afternoon, play a board game when you enjoy your beer. Jenga and Cards Against Humanity are always good go tos.
Joshua NessDecember 27, 2014Best beer selection in town. Friendly owners and a variety of seating choices.
Under the radar somehow, but consistently one of the most enticing tap lists in the area. Amazing bottles, too.
Christopher DanellaJune 8, 2016Beers as far as the eye can see. Tap takeovers are always super fun too.- Best beer in the neighborhood. Best backyard in the neighborhood. Best vibe in the neighborhood.
Brigette K.January 14, 2015Bar, beer, and vibe were all cool. Good drafts then you could leave with bottles- sweet! Worst part was the bartender. Not warm, talkative, basically we were intruding on him. 👎
Ryan GallagherJune 20, 2016Great beer bar with small outside area. Good meat and cheese selections, as well.- Great beer selection, Peltzer's Pretzels & a lovely green backyard.
Bobby KennedyOctober 13, 2014Great beer selection, draft and bottle. Not all that cozy inside but the back patio is nice.- Gabriel HayesSeptember 9, 2015Very good Twitter handle (@covenhovennyc). Follow for many creative opportunities to win a free beer.
Justin IsraelsJune 13, 2015Great bottle selection, interesting draft list, bring a blanket for the backyard- Don't miss the nicely curated cheese/charcuterie selection in the back fridge!
- Christian ChenDecember 25, 2014Great selection of American and international beers. Nice buying atmosphere too ;)
Great new neighborhood bar. Good beers, reasonable prices and friendly owners!
- Always a great variety of beers on tap and in bottles/cans.
AbDecember 30, 2015Ridiculously good beer selection! Terrible trivia mc. A ten point local brewery round? Bring the 'migos
- 3 top notch grilled cheese sandwich options, all executed perfectly.

Raul Jimenez II - 9.1
"Tap list changes frequently but the bar food is amazing and overlooked. The loaf of bread is worth every cent. There's a reason the restaurant in back has Michelin stars"
