This is such a great dog bar with an awesome selection of craft beers. Baby strollers have to stay outside, while dogs can go inside. Heaven!
The Brew NoobAugust 30, 2013Great beer bar in the slope, with dozens of beers on draft, many of which are hard to find, and always a couple on cask. And a solid cider selection for your friend who isn't sure if they want beer.
Excellent and always changing variety of quality beers. Patio. Video Games. Darts. A staple since 1997, when it was the only spot for 10 blocks in any direction. One time I saw Steve Buschemi walk by.
The Corcoran GroupJune 26, 2010Grab a pint and a table outside. Then ask for the takeout menus and order up some grub! Fido has to stay on his leash while he begs for scraps!
Great local bar with regular rotating board of craft beers and large outdoor space
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 27, 2015Fabulous spot for outdoor get-togethers. Indoors looks a little drab. Beer focus but also wine and cocktails. No food.- Lears FoolDecember 15, 2015Sit on the patio outdoors with a pint, a moleskine, your partner and plan out your next adventure.
IndieWhere at ConsciouslyAugust 9, 2014Bring you dog and your desire to throw down a beer or three. It's a bit dingie and it's great that way. Great for friends or a 10th date.
Maxwell FoxmanJune 8, 2015Great yard and solid craft beer. Usually some good local stuff mixed with craft beer from around the country.
Great beer, good bartenders, and the occasional dog. What's not to like? One of my favorite spots in park slope.
Brew YorkApril 23, 2012Whether you're an indoors or outdoors person... whether it's 75 and sunny or 30 and snowing... as long as you like great craft beer, you belong at this Park Slope mainstay.
Miguel de LeonAugust 10, 2014Outdoor seating is clutch in the summer. There's also a hilarious pub quiz on Monday nights- Dog friendly with an wide selection of craft draft beers. Don't forget the dog treat jar at the side end of the bar!
LukeOctober 28, 2018Cute pub with a good beer list, old school interior, and a very buzzy patio situation
Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013Good craft beer list and an (often-packed) patio, but you'll have to get food delivered.
JC Martinez-SifreOctober 21, 2014Some kind of trivia game going on here at the time of this post. I'll admit, I'm curious to come back and play in earnest; see what it's all about.
Jeff KirschJuly 24, 2014Great outside space for dogs and kids, but look out for the rat poison stations under the benches.
Casual chill place, bring your dog, order pizza. Wide variety of micro brews.
Daniel McDonoughSeptember 6, 2014Good selection of draught beers. Sit outside if you can inside is dark. Like really dark.
Alex DamashekAugust 28, 2011This place is a park slope standard. Try a black and tan. There are darts in the back. Or sit in the garden and chill with yuppies and their dogs.
Get here early and sit outside all day long- idyllic Brooklyn.
The 'Neat-pour' of Jameson is $6.50 & you get an obscene amount of liquor
ONE TIME I CAME HERE AND COULDN'T GET A SEAT AT THE BAR bc 2 DOGS HAD THEIR OWN STOOLS. STILL A CHILL PLACE, THOUGH.
Dev PApril 21, 2011Classic Gate! No frills and probably no thrills...but all I want to do is sit outside and enjoy a brew! This is the place
hannah elaineDecember 20, 2011best spot to drink in Brooklyn. great folks all around...AND lots of doggies!!
Mike BenignoFebruary 23, 2013Dogs barking always. Secret dog treat bowl at windowside corner of bar.
- they don't serve food, but you can order in - ask the bartender for the menu book
- Scott ClausenJune 6, 2010The best bar in the slope. Simple, unpretentious, and good beer. Oh, and the patio is awesome.
Saurette Lisa MMarch 17, 2012Gotta love when you get carded and the doorman giggles after seeing ur I.d. :)
