For all the Yuppies complaining about the greatest bar in Brooklyn. GET OUT! No one asked you to move here. We don't want you here. The bar has been there before you were even born, let alone been living here. IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT GO AWAY!!!!! Go back to the mid-west.

You are guest here and always will be. No matter how long you yups are here you will never be Brooklyn.

Good times. Around 1982 I ran into some dudes (Tim & Rich )from Brooklyn while in Montreal, They drove back the next day and brought my friend and I with them. We went to Farrells bar and those guys went back to work ( New York Telephone) that week. My buddy and I would come back to Farrells bar every evening before we went back to Canada. Stood out on the sidewalk with the paper cups and shot the s**t with all kinds of Brooklyn people. Rich brought us to his house for dinner one evening to meet his mom and aunt . IThey laughed at me because there were steel garbage cans out and they had a chain on the top which I thought was to keep them from being stolen. We use bags, here. It seems that Farrells bar was the meeting place for those guys at New York Telephone and anyone looking for some good times.

We (my wife and I)are coming back to Brooklyn and will be stopping by Farells for sure.

Best bar;best beer. Great bar. Haven't been there in twenty years. When I went they didn't like to serve women at the bar. From everyone's description it still sounds like the same place except the quart used to be paper and $1.00. Great place. The retard who doesn't like it can go eat some salmon puffs in Manhattan. Most of the guys I hung out with there are now lawyers or successful businessmen.

To the guy who posted the last rating. To the person who posted before me,

I would be willing to bet everything I own on the fact that:

a) I am much more intelligent than you are, and

b) I am much wealthier than you

As a lifelong patron of Farrell's,I am personally insulted by your post. The next time you call someone a lowlife, why don't you try doing it in person as opposed to over the internet? Something tells me you don't have the stones to do so.

home to the real Brooklyn. Hey Farrellssucks you obviously are not from the neighborhood, here is a recommendation...LEAVE!!!!

I have been going to Farrells with my friends for over 10 years and plan on doing so for another 50. Don't worry you will be living in the new "hip" place in 5 years and pissing off another neighborhood with a history going back generations, that you will destroy.

I raise a container to all my Farrell's brothers and sisters

Smelly bar, unpleasant crowd, bad neighbor. This bar's redeeming quality seems to be their enormous portions of cheap beer designed to attract the kind of people who drink to get drunk quick and act out all of their anti-social tendencies and aggressions caused by being at the bottom of both the socio-economic and intelligence scales.

Drinking outside is encouraged, as is screaming and yelling at all hours of the night, whatever day of the year.

If you want to hang around jobless societal leeches who don't have to get up in the morning to work, this is the bar for you. Also good if you like to mix your 32-ounce Bud with a few tokes on a joint under some child's bedroom window. The place also attracts cops and firefighters and, on this basis apparently thinks it's above the law. If you want to go and see what our Bravest and Finest are really like off duty, this place will make you wonder whether we really should be raising their salaries, rather than encouraging all of them to go live and work in New Jersey.

Ice cold ..frosty ... fresh...the best!. The reviewer below is nuts!! If you like beer.. I mean really like beer... This is the place for you. If you don't really like beer ... and never had a big taste for it... This place is for you. YOU WILL NEVER have a tap Bud like this ever again... unless you order another. and then another. Like they say.... If Budweiser is the King of beers --- Then Farrell's is the Palace!

The reviewer below... doesn't like anyplace thay have been out to. crazy right?

A total dum. The people that reviewed this place obviously don't live near it. The crowd is disgusting, loud, and can be seen spilling out on to the sidewalk with their enormous styrofoam cups of beer. However, if you want a place that will give you a huge beer with a lid and straw so you can get behind the wheel of your car that's parked in front of the fire hydrant across the street and drive home, this is the place for you!!! I'd love to see it close.

The Mecca of Beer Drinking...... You feel an aura about it when you walk in and the beer flows remark-able!

Cleanest draft you can find.

User review by bosoxjenn. I was visiting NY from California, staying in Manhattan...couldn't find a drink in the city for less than $6 a beer! I was told to try Farrell's in Brookly...loved it! A true neighborhood bar. I was treated beyond kindly. I'm a bartender...I was more comfortable in this bar than in the bar I work in here in OC!!!!!! To V.B. and his friends and family...you made my experience a memorable one and will remember you always. I will be back!
