Once a regular old-neighborhood hangout, this congenial bar has been steadily usurped by the cool youngsters who pile in every weekend. White Christmas lights and strings of seasonal decorations create a festive spirit in an otherwise plain room, which is furnished with red booths and bar stools, and a jukebox filled with rock-and-roll and retro standards. Despite the changes in clientele, the biggest draw remains the 32-ounce Styrofoam cup of Bud for $3.50.

Definitely a relic. The grannies behind the counter, the decorations that always match each coming holiday, the giant styrofoam cups of beer- I love this place. Reasonable prices, and yes, occasionally loud and obnoxious. But still. It's got charm.

This relic--it's been around since 1955--has kept its old-fashioned vibe even though it sits alongside some of the trendiest bars in Brooklyn. The bartenders can be nice and attentive--or in a bad mood--but it's all part of the charm, as are the beers served in paper cups. The frat boys who may take the place over on a given night can be annoying, but they do not get in the way of one of the best jukeboxes I've ever heard.

Rosemarys is a great pub I've been going there since the late 80s, the crowd has changed quite a bit since then but the atmosphere is still good and the new jukebox is great, also you can't beat the 32oz draft brewsksys, nice place to watch a game or just to pass the time hearing a few classic rock songs and throwing back a few shots of jack with a beer chaser. Try it you'll like it. Dont mind the first review this person sounds as if he hasn't really lived and just got here from the mid west.
