their burger is made w/ beer cheese, fig and currant compote, and a crispy sesame bun
Seth GolbeyJanuary 19, 2019
Gotta love a joint with a fireplace, much less two!
B NNovember 28, 2010
The crowd is strangely hip, not hip, not hip-hop and hoppy (like beer). Bocce ball is legit-avoid on weekends though. Entertaining events in the basement and a literary aesthetic. Prob good for dates.
Ryan EickSeptember 18, 2018
Great space, solid selection, and a great venue underground

Conrad Greiner-BechertJuly 8, 2015
Cozy leather sofas upstairs and cheap standup comedy in the basement on weekends.
QB BOctober 31, 2012
A bar with books and a fireplace? Yup it's pretty much one of the best laid back bars I've ever been to.
Judy LuoOctober 19, 2016
super unique, friendly, casual, and teeming with fun events.
TylerDecember 16, 2017
Dope lounge space and comedy, what is there not to like?
loran jonakMay 31, 2015
Nice place! Watch for muppet themed nights each month in the downstairs area.

Go to the 90s dance party every first Saturday of the month and have a blast from the past. The DJs are the best!

Avoid the crowds and the noise - go Saturday or Sunday for an afternoon beer and actually get a spot on the couch by the fire. Mmmm cozy :)
Sonika H.April 9, 2012
Love the faux library atmosphere, the bocce games in the back. Seems like there were mosquitoes or something serious in there tho, got bit like crazy!
Kathryn DJanuary 29, 2017
Go for the comedy, stay for the warm bookcase setting afterwards.
Nam NguyenSeptember 7, 2011
Happy hour here is peace on earth. Good cheap beer. Great tunes that fit the vibe. The sounds of bocce is therapeutic.
Mary KMarch 29, 2015
Bocce courts are free to play and they have a great beer selection.
Meg VelinMay 26, 2013
Keri is the best bartender! Treat her nice & tip her well - she'll take great care of you.
Laura Grow-NybergJune 24, 2015

Adult Education, Brooklyn's favorite "useless lecture series," is here the first Tuesday of every month. (Except for July and August, when school is out.)
Bonnie EisenmanMarch 13, 2015
Boccé is just plain fun. Beer selection is decent, corn dogs were surprising (not on a stick??) but tasty.
Rex RoofMarch 19, 2018
upstairs was a nice place to hang out. food is bar food but solid.
E AlixJanuary 21, 2015
The coziest bar in the winter. Sit near the 🔥place, but not right next to it or you'll fry.
Brittany LannanMarch 4, 2015
Great place to hang with friends on a Saturday afternoon
Eddie JonesJuly 11, 2017
Great place to see comedy. Small basement venue.
Julie AvraJune 2, 2017
decor like a living room--something about the fanciness prevents it from being truly comfy
miles lennonSeptember 28, 2016
I come here for beer, coziness and Jon Ronson

There is nothing wrong with this super-bar. Bocce + great micro-brews - did I mention a fireplace and dumplings?
KatNovember 26, 2011
Be sure to enjoy some petanque with the Park Slope hipsters in the back room. Great ambiance!
Chet ManciniAugust 6, 2014
Come for the Bocce. Claim a couch by the fire in the winter.
Mutlu ÜzümcüMay 7, 2015
Cozy!! Outdoor area is lovely.. Looks like it is gonna be my second home!!
Michael DonovanAugust 4, 2018
Open space, decent selection on tap
Allan BeaufourSeptember 25, 2011
Great atmosphere, good beer, and two indoor bocce courts. What's there not to like? :-)

Free bocce and lots of comfy seating!
Angie GannonAugust 15, 2011
If you can, reserve a bocce lane before you go. Also, grab dinner with your beer. It's good pub food.
Samantha KellyJanuary 20, 2013
Fun place! Best is when they have The Story Collider downstairs!!

Try the ky bourbon beer. So smooth, so high in alcohol content.
Tyler ParkerJuly 28, 2017
Leather bound armchairs, bookcases, bocci... What more can one want?
Jeff NamnumApril 12, 2012
Say hi to Renata at the bar and trust her suggestions on beer. Great service.
M. Silver AssociatesFebruary 24, 2012
Kiki and Jinners' Oscar Party: Free (at least it was free last year). Creative drink specials.

The Thighmaster sandwich will make you quiver with delight!
Michael GreelishMarch 1, 2011
Avoid on friday and saturday nights unless you're seeing a show in the basement, as the main floor gets packed, and it's a douchebag-a-rama complete with bouncer. Other nights or afternoons, it's ok.

Karaoke on stage on Fridays at 12am.
Mike HornFebruary 28, 2010
Such an awesome spot. As I recall, there is live music downstairs and skeeball in the back. The bar looks like an old library.
Chris TMay 27, 2013
Good special: 5/27 Shot of Alibi Whiskey & a 'Gansett Tall Boy
Saif DiaAugust 7, 2015
It can get crowded when people are playing bocce
WillMcDDecember 29, 2015
Maybe one of the best bars in Brooklyn

The Floyd Burger is the only thing worth eating. It's delightful.
DeRose Method USAFebruary 15, 2012
No trip to Brooklyn is complete without some Bocce. Go early (before 8pm) if you want to play.
Erica TurnerMarch 25, 2013
Vanessa the bartender is amazing! !!
