“Perfect location.”
“The place is warm and inviting, the bar tenders are the kind of people you want to have as friends, the hand pulled cask ale?”
“Great staff, wonderful drinks and great food!”
“The Brazen Head has one of the best beer selections in all of New York City.”
“Hands down the best place to get a good pint in Brooklyn.”
“The bar is understaffed/overworked and the only bartender that night was frazzled; warm and gracious at first, but then pushy about a tip for one bottle of beer and one glass of Cabernet.”
“Stew with Lou on Saturday is fantastic (5 bucks all you can shovel in).”View Less
Jerks in charge!. A few years ago, while looking for a bartending job, I faxed my resume over to the hiring staff at this bar. One evening I received a call from the "manager" - I can't remember his name -- who seems interested in meeting me right away as they needed a bartender asap. I arrived 30 minutes later. The manager interviews me with faux sincerity. Not really telling me why all of the sudden he didn't need the help although I held over 2 years NYC hospitality experience and am an attractive, fit female. He then tried to appease the situation by telling me of a bar in my neighborhood that was hiring. I already knew what was going on; my name is Irish/Gaelic but I am not. Looking back I should have called him out on it but I took the classy stance. I accepted his drink. The skanky looking female bartender with the 80's hairstyle was rude when I asked for a call drink. Obviously I was too hot and brown for the place.…
I lost my pet. I was there the night the bartender who always smiles alot was working. I put my pet waterbug on the bar to give him a little drink and he hopped over the bar and scurried away. I have not seen him since.…
A real disappointment.. Dropped by on the night of August 16, 2008 after watching "Tropic Thunder" at the UA Court Street. What a let down from other reviews I've read elsewhere. It was a tiny space, with an awkward layout and very uncomfortable wooden lounge seating. On the night we were there, there was a general lack of decent seating altogether. The bar is understaffed/overworked and the only bartender that night was frazzled; warm and gracious at first, but then pushy about a tip for one bottle of beer and one glass of Cabernet. Ruined the mood of the evening. We finished our drinks and gladly moved on to one of the other numerous bars on Atlantic Avenue.…
Food/Beer Festivals. I love going to the Brazen Head. Every time I have been there - I've had a GREAT time. I love that they constantly have food & beer festivals. Worth checking out for sure!!!!
Great staff, wonderful drinks and great food!. Atmosphere is always pleasant, as is the staff and the owner is a solid, likeable guy with a smile and a warm hello for everyone. Lou's also a great cook and he shares his food with his customers ... chicken wings on a Monday night, assorted fruit, cheese, and crackers on Wednesday. The music is whatever the working staff is currently enjoying, the 3 TV's are usually turned to a sports channel but the place is definietly not a sports bar. Folks come in, chat, sip, read the paper or a book, watch TV, eat and just generally enjoy themselves. There's also a lovely garden in the back. There's an enormous selection of beers on tap, along with cider. There are many many scotch, vodka varieties and there is also a great selection of wines.…
