Red Hook has better to offer....

by bklynbug

Such a waste of time. No menu to speak of, pizza is OK (get better locally) but nothing to rave about, slow service. Went there for Brooklyn Restaurant week, they had a 2for1 special - which wasn't anything special. Barely edible appetizer, ordered a Caesar salad (they gave us romaine with italian dressing & a sprinkle of parmesan) and a pizza. Not worth the trip.

If you're going to travel all the way to Red Hook, Sunny's is a better bar (with a unique atmosphere), and Hope & Anchor has much better food.

• Pros: spacious, street parking
• Cons: slow service, below avg food

Great samplings of brewed beer, fun space for a lot of people!

by satellight

I went here with a friend from out of town. We were both into trying something new, and I'd heard great things about this place. The space itself is huge.... plenty of table room, a long bar, and even another room with a stage for performances. It wasn't very crowded, and it was about 9pm on a Saturday, so that was a little disappointing, but we got the next game of darts and pool later on. A young man was in the other room playing some songs, and I noticed that only one person was really watching him when I passed the stage to go to the restroom, so I made a note to check him out later... but then he was gone! The beer was a great part of this experience... a good variety of brewed beers and little cups to sample them! My boyfriend ordered the mussels and pasta and it was gone before I knew it. We later shared a small pizza that was really delicious. The bartender, Luis, was awesome. I hope to go back on another night with a bigger group!

• Pros: Large space, great beer and food, fun atmosphere
• Cons: Not so crowded, chilly in the back.... brrr

Great Beer, Food, and Music

by accordingtowendy

Liberty Heights Tap Room is the real deal. The beer is top notch, and the bartenders are more than kind and helpful when you just don't know which beer to choose. They've never steered me wrong. The food is awesome. I've had their pizza and their burgers, both of which were delicious and priced well. They have a great open mic on thursday nights, and the sound system/stage is one of the best around. This is definitely the upcoming hot spot of Red Hook!

• Pros: beer, food, service
• Cons: off the beaten path, but SO worth finding!
