“KCBC Brewery stands out as a beacon for beer aficionados, boasting an expansive space that instantly welcomes you with its warm and inviting vibe. The sheer size of the place allows for a diverse crowd, from casual drinkers to serious hop heads, all finding their niche in this vibrant atmosphere. The selection of beers is nothing short of amazing, with each brew showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of its creators. From rich, robust stouts to crisp, refreshing lagers, there's something for every palate. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kickstart a night out with friends.However, there's a catch—KCBC's focus is solely on their brews, meaning snack options are non-existent. While this might be a slight downside for those looking to pair their pint with a quick bite, the quality and variety of the beers on offer more than make up for it. It encourages guests to immerse themselves fully in the tasting experience, perhaps even prompting a visit to local eateries before or after. In essence, KCBC Brewery is a must-visit for its exceptional beers and the nice vibe it offers, even if it means planning your snacks elsewhere.“
“For a micro brewery, they sure do have varieties. For those of who are sick of the IPA revolution, we have options! But don't worry if you love IPAs, they have those too. Best dogs. Best trivia. Best rotation of food vendors. Favorite brewery in NYC“
“Being possessed of a very childlike palate that only enjoys extremely sweet and soda/juice/candy-type beverages, I used to hate beer and had never had one In even remotely enjoyed. However, trying some of Evil Twin's sours, I'm definitely a beer convert (well, Evil Twin's sours and similarly sweet beers, at least).“
“An impressive selection of CBs ranging from refreshing flagship pilsners and lagers at approx. 5% alc. content, to bold IPAs with around 7% ABV, and even indulgent rich barrel-aged stouts boasting 10-13% ABV. The staff is efficient and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience. One tip: if you plan on ordering food, it's advisable to do so nearer to the entrance before proceeding to the counter beer seats to avoid missing out on the opportunity to pay with your credit card!“
“This is everything you want in a local brewery. Open, chill interior; beertenders who are friendly and know what they’re pouring; beer, cocktails, snacks, and nonalcoholic options aplenty. *AND* it’s queer, woman, and veteran owned.Also, the Fan Fan Tart Disco deserves to be in a museum. It’s that good.“
“Other Half is located a block from the apartment building I live on. Ever since I moved here nearly three years ago and tried one of their IPA’s, I haven’t been able to drink beers from other breweries.This might seem like an exaggerated statement, but it is true. Their beers are at a completely different league than anything I’ve ever tried. World class.“
“The beer is amazing here. I am usually a fan of stouts and I absolutely loathe sours; however, I love trying everything. My friend and I finally made it to Evil Twin on the last day of our trip. I had the Irish Coffee Stout, which was so smooth, and my friend had the Evil Fusion Winter Edition Sour Ale. I reluctantly tried her beer and was blown away. I have never had such a smooth and delicious sour. The flavor is complex and wonderful. All beer lovers should flock to this place.“

“Cool high ceilinged space with brewing taking place right in the middle of the floor. Great selection of beers, small food menu, but everything I had was superb. Service was attentive and friendly. I’ve been road tripping and visiting a LOT of breweries but their Almost Famous NEIPA is the best beer I’ve had this trip.“
“A very good brewery hidden away in Rockaway. The decor may not be high end, but there is a pool table and a large indoor and outdoor seating area. I go to a brewery for good beer, and am not concerned about the prettiness of the brewery. The bartender, Dillon, gave great service and gave good pours. Very impressed with the service. Both of the IPA beers I am having are very good, the Rockaway IPA and the Hawaiian Pizza IPA. It is very good to note that they still serve beer in the 16 ounce glasses at $7 to $8 for a pint, and are not overcharging their customers at $9 or $10 for a 12 ounce pour. I say that if you are getting 25% less beer, then you should be getting charged 25% less, not more. That definitely adds a star to the rating. Is a six star rating available?“
“Amazing spot in the East Village! Awesome vibes, incredibly friendly staff, and good beer and drinks. Luke was a great bartender who gave us recommendations and made us feel at home at the bar. They’re also a Bills Backer bar, so I’ll definitely be coming here during football season! #GOBILLS“
“Such an amazing and welcoming atmosphere. The owners were such laid back chill people. They educated us on how they make their kombucha. Definitely made with passion. A must try! We left with kombucha to stock our fridge. Also they now are offering food and it was to die for. The pickled string beans and preserved lemons they used to cook our food with had flavor bombs of greatness. Cheers to Saleena and Lawrence!“
“Wish they had more of a beer selection, especially with all the breweries in the area, but the atmosphere here is totally unique and worth it. The donuts were to die for, especially for only $4, and 5 flight glasses for $18 is also a great deal. Interesting space in the back for music meetups, we really enjoyed it. Thanks!“
“rustic factory turned into brewery. definitely had strong Brooklyn vibes with the babies and dogs running around. Great selection of drinks and also has a nice library in the back to purchase books. also heard there are pop-up food trucks in the summer. 10 out of 10 definitely would come back“
“This is such a casual cool spot to chill, hang out, have a drink, and you are free to bring take-out food here from somewhere else. They have board games, card games, and so much outdoor and indoor space. The price is awesome and has a little something for everyone! I highly recommend.“
“First time visiting Brooklyn and this place was our first op. A Cool vibe. Got margherita pizza and pretzel here. Variety of beers to chose from. I chose the nitro oat stout since it was a cold day in Brooklyn. Great service- waitress was very attentive and the food came out very fast.“
“Love and highly recommend this place. The sake is delicious and approachable for sake newbies, the staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and the vibe is chill and dog friendly. The brewery tour is a fantastic deal (it includes a few drinks) and super informative—they explain the process so well that by the end of the tour you’re left with clear ideas about how sake is made and various factors to look at when identifying sakes.“
“It feels like the area has become saturated with high alcohol hazy IPAs, which I do enjoy, but this place offers more variety for the everyday beer lover. Very friendly staff, lots of indoor and outdoor space and if you catch it on the right day, you get an awesome collaboration with some of the cities most underrated food trucks and tasty bites. Great way to spend some time. Just wish there was more regular TV viewing for sports, but that's just my bias.“
“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“
“sometimes a smash burger & a flight will turn your entire day around. Make sure to order a double to maximize the crispy edges. Sitting outside in a nice afternoon also elevated our experience. We tried a couple of different styles of beer & genuinely enjoyed all of them in our flight.“
“A selection of 17 CBs on tap, including gluten-free options. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $7 to $8. A flight of four for $15, served uniquely on a small roller coaster! The brewing tanks are fine. And don't miss indulgent Stout, boasting a rich flavor with a 13% alcohol content.“
“Great place to have a few beers and try the brewery’s extensive range. We did a flight (4 small beers). Pulp Art Hazy IPA my favourite. The chips & salsa are so tasty too. Guy at the bar really friendly and let us try a load of samples before we bought“
“After trying to take the train, then using our GPS, we finally said Uncle and called an Uber. So glad we stuck with it. This Nano Brewery is definitely off the beaten path but what a spectacular find! Loved the Ginger IPA and the Lychee Red brews. Being a craft beer lover from MN, we were extremely happy to find this place. I’d highly recommend their beers. Next time I’m in NY or you are in NY, you gotta go the extra mile and find this place. Great beers await you!!“
“食物好吃！2024/March editFood is amazing as always, and the staffs are super friendly and makes you relax at the moment you step into the space.Really appreciate to have a place like this in the neighborhood, thank you!Recommend chicken slaw for all the Asian stomachs, we order it every time when they serve foods (Thursday to Sunday)“
“Great place to go with friends, get some drinks and play games (They had cornhole) Drinks are a reasonable price and are really good. There was an event happening when we came by, but it never felt super crowded with how much space there was.“
“Stopped by to watch a football game. Now, I have no idea what goes on in the world of football but I loved the vibe of this bar. There are also cozy couches in the middle with the perfect view of the game. My friend and I enjoyed their wide selection of beers, and also their huge chicken sandwich. Fries were insanely good.“
“Huge airplane hangar of a brewery and taproom. Lots of beers on tap that run the gamut of tastes and styles. There's a lot of active stuff happening around here and you can really get lost in the enormous culture surrounding this place. Small food plates are available and they seem to have food pop-ups as well. The other night I had a pizza during happy hour that cost a mere ten dollars. What a steal!“
“This is a real Irish bar. Not in the sense of taped up paper leprechauns or a tinsel HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY banner, but rather campaign photos of John and Robert Kennedy, as well as other candidates for office going back more than 100 years. It's one of the oldest bars in New York City, and decorated with historical markers, play tickets, political posters and buttons, as well as a painting of a naked lady! Your choices for drinks are light ale or dark ale. They make good sandwiches, too.“
“Neighborhood gem and dog friendly! Original Finback Brewery location. They have a rotating selection of stuff on tap and to-go. They offer small and regular pours of stuff on tap. There are picnic style tables and high tops on barrels. There's also some Finback merchandise for sale.Recently got a fridge that displays 4 packs and bottles for sale. At the bar, they have a menu that describes their drink options in depth.They have delicious food pop-ups and when there's no food pop-ups, they have a list of places they recommend for local delivery. There is free residential street parking.5/5. Highly recommend.“
“My partner and I visited two weeks ago and had a phenomenal experience!Carolina was a server and was super knowledgeable about the sake and friendly. She and Kyle were very thorough about answering all our questions about the process of brewing sake (and shochu!) and how Kura develops their food and beverage menu. It was a fairly quiet day, so they (and Joanne!) really took their time making us feel at home.It was St. Patrick's Day and Kyle made some cute experimental shots with greenery from the local market to share with us.The presentation of everything in this bar was cute! We loved the use of scientific beakers as decanters. We had a flight of everything on tap, as well as some cocktails and the pickled fruit and veg platter. The pickled strawberries in particular were delightful and a nice compliment to the sake.My recommendations: Sunset (sake) and Kakariko (cocktail).Will definitely be back next time we are in New York! It's tragic they don't have a Boston outpost, but I'm glad some of their sake is available locally... and we got some bottles to take home.Thank you everyone so much for the great time!“
“I normally visit at least once a week every week religiously and when I do I order my favorite hazy ipa the Piff. Also I would like to add that I am always lucky to get greeted and served by JAMES :) he is very attentive and most of all amazing.“
“Came here tonight and surprise- it was trivia night! How cute!! Layout is small and a little wonky so if you want to be in on the action + have plenty of opportunities to socialize, I recommend sitting towards the front near the bar! Unfortunately I came around 8:30 and trivia was fully in-swing so the only seats were in the back sort of away from everyone. One of the things that struck me right as I came in was how welcoming the crowd felt and the amount of queer folks I saw. Definitely felt right at home pretty immediately.My partner and I ended up ordering a flight of beers to share. You get your selection of any 4 beers on tap for just $20. My partner then ordered the burger and fries and I ordered a selection of 4 empanadas (2 chopped cheese, 1 Korean pork, and 1 vegan esquites). My empanadas were delicious although I didn't care for the esquites one as much as the other three. My partners burger and fries came out cold unfortunately but I was told it had good flavor.Overall, a decent spot if you like beer and activities!“
“I came here because I was visiting my friends that live in NY... Other Half is like a pilgrimage for me. So looking forward to it! The beers were insane... Of course. The staff however were completely miserable and (skanked a tonne of cash out of me) and really soured the experience for me. This was on the 15/03/24.“
“Amazing sour beers and a fun vibe! There’s indoor seating, the bar, and picnic tables outside as well. At some point they were going to open the roof but I wasn’t able to see if they ever did. Great drinks and pop up foods on the weekends“
“Fun brewery for board games, and watching the game. Came for a Sunday afternoon, place had a good crowd and seemed to have an event going on, bonsai tree pruning. Interesting I know…the beer was good, for sure would come back to check out the bingo or events they host.Also big plus for being in Astoria ? probably my favorite place in Queens.Staff were nice, walk up order a beer and sit anywhere. Chill. Food options limited, they recommend ordering delivery from nearby restaurants.“
“They make great beers, they do all over the board in terms of beers. They specialize in IPA but do all sorts of beer. Very industrial setting. A handful of tables but lots of standing area. It was pretty quiet on the Saturday night we were there and chatted with the brewer. Oh and they have board and card games.Fun chill low key vibe in an industrial setting.“
“NJBC has been in the craft brewing industry since 2010 and, over their long existence, have created some of our favorite NJ beers. While they have always excelled in the IPA lines ranging from traditional to hazies and milkshakes, I think the stout and porter lineups are even stronger offerings. As a fan of strong, dark, and generally more complex beers, NJBC really hit a home run with their "Cups of Peanut Butter and Chocolate" porter. But you won't go wrong with anything on the board.One of, if not the most popular beers they make is the "Blood Orange LBIPA." This would be your must try beer if you've never experienced it.“
“Family, friends, and loved ones, what’s missing? Beer. They have it completing everything that is needed in life.Awesome weirdly decorated brewery with lots of seating and good vibes. Pricing is great and the staff is super nice. Definitely worth visiting.“
