User Reviews for Moonshine

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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

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

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

Possibly the best bourbon selection all of Brooklyn, this place welcomes you with open arms (and a scoop of peanuts). No pretense, just good ole honkey tonk. Old longshoreman bar that was rediscovered by new owner and brought back to life. Zaps potato chips from Louisiana to help soak up the suds just in case the peanuts don't do it for you. Cheap buckets of beer.

Pros: bourbon, cheap beer, bulldogs

Cons: can get noisy

Everything about this place rules....cheap beer,pool table, great outside garden, great juke. AND, the coolest bartender in years! A girl w/ red curly hair, can't remember her name, made me & my BF feel super comfortable. She's attentive without being pushy, and a great conversationalist, super easy to talk to. Perfect, perfect, perfect! Sometimes the owner brings his cute bulldogs in! Find this place, and this bartender (and tip her well, your $$ will never be better spent!), before the hipsters do!

Pros: great bartender, great service, cheap drinks

Everyone here is really nice. The bartenders, the owners, the atmosphere, ms. pacman. It may be far away but it's a lovely place to spend your time. The place has all the extra special things you love in a bar though: outside space, pretty bar, flat screened tv, drink specials, great jukebox, fun games. no line for the bathrooms.... love it. you should too.

Pros: atmosphere, company, beer specials

Moonshine - get in on this bar before the hipsters do. Great space, laid-back atmosphere, open backyard, this place has it all. Get there now and don't forget to try the special Moonshine Mix (it goes great with peanuts). Seriously, what are you waiting for?

Pros: Cool Location, Great Backyard, Beer Beer Beer

Cons: , Cheap but not free, No Monkeys
