What People Are Saying About Moonshine

The Editor

Citysearch

The Scene – This homey, wood-paneled dive looks like it was airlifted from a sleepy Southern town and plopped down upon Brooklyn's outer reaches. A friendly bartender offers some of the cheapest brews in the city, and the liquor cabinet is stocked for shots. A pair of bulldogs patrol the joint and an old-fashioned Pabst plaque suggests to the mostly male clientele, "Next time, bring your wife." – – The Draw – If you come to Moonshine often enough, everybody knows your name--or at least can match your smile to a Polaroid picture tacked to the frequent customers wall.…

Friendliest Bar in Town

by lilikaki

If you are looking to go somewhere cmpletely unpretencious, comfortable and want a guaranteed good time this is the place. The drinks are cheap and simple and the people are there to chat and have a good time. There is no sleaze factor, no pick up joint feel to this place just a nice welcoming vibe. It's a plus if you like country music but even if you don't you will enjoy yourself. I've taken friends who are not country music fans here and we all had a blast. The music is never too loud so you can't talk and they have pool and a backyard to hang out in as well.

  • Pros: People, Drinks, Music, Outdoors
  • Cons: None

Great locals bar -- and dog friendly!

by davidw03

Moonshine is unspoiled Brooklyn. Cheap beer, a BBQ grill and dog friendly -- what more can you ask for? Friendly bartenders and an interesting crowd keep this out of the way spot top of mind for us. And the remote location ensures it'll stay that way.

  • Pros: Cheap beer, great jukebox, dog friendly, outdoor area, free peanuts
  • Cons: Clientele can get a little iffy late at night

comfortable, fun bar

by stiv41

This is a great neighborhood bar. The beers are cheap, the staff is friendly, and there's a pretty big patio out back for when the weather's nice. $5 gets you a bucket of PBRs! It's a little bit of a hike from the subway, but that's probably one of the things that lets it keep that neighborhood feel.

  • Pros: cheap drinks, friendly crowd
  • Cons: kind of far from the subway
