  • Amir Stokley

I have a walker named Napoleon of Brooklyn Family Dog Walker that recommends I come here. He said this bar was dog friendly and the staff is amazing. He was on the money. The bartender was great and the atmosphere was made even better with the choice of music. Me, my wife and my pup couldn't have asked for a better drink and chat. More

  • Tyler Lund

Another great bar in the same family as Owl Farm and Mission Dolores that allows dogs inside. Fantastic beer selection though a bit less ambiance than the other two. Great couches for fido to curl up on while you play pinball in the back. Very well behaved dogs and a great dive atmosphere make this a place you keep going back to.

  • Hugh Piper

The beer menu was a little convoluted, and at times hard to tell the bartender, but the range is very impressive. The bar itself is a dimly lit, intimate setting that feels like it has been around forever. Best bar in Carol Gardens in my opinon.

  • Jocelyn Borgner

Love this bar -- dog friendly, lovely staff and wide open windows to the street on a nice day. A little bit dark and loud when it gets busy, but overall a good place to come with friends. (Also kid friendly during daylight hours, as it seems.)

  • Michele Hill

Great bar. Bartender was welcoming and he actually knew all the beers that was listed. Ales IPAs. After coming out of the lockdown its good to find through friends a warm charming bar. Then to my surprise 4 pinball machines in the back room

  • Brett Vanderbrook

Probably my favorite bar in all of Brooklyn. Their tap list NEVER disappoints. They have a few stalwarts that rarely ever leave the line-up, but for the most part the menu changes every time you visit, and there's no filler; their offerings

  • Jeff Domenick

Best bar in the area. Amazing, ever-changing tap list, great bartenders, great music, great vibes. It's just a great bar bar. Perfectly unpretentious, yet so refined in its own unique way. There's never a bad time or situation to come here.

  • The Memory Lapse

Love this place! Not as stellar a selection as Owl Farm (which I believe is the same ownership) but definitely more of a vibe spot since it is located in a more residential area. Great mix of beer nerds asking for the bottle list or trying

  • G S

Inoffensive dive bar, that speaks of the new Brooklyn. Beer selection is nice, bartenders not so much. They are not rude, just intense in a manner you expect in a NYC bar that is packed sees a high flow of patrons and knuckleheads alike.

  • Robbie Holmes

This place is a true, local bar. The locals are there starting early on a Saturday, and have stacked out the bar and all the tables in the bar area. The choice of beers was really great and ask if there is something you don't see on the

  • Enrique Cafaro

This is a classic, throwback neighborhood bar. Great beers and drinks with a super friendly vibe. Bartender Jill is a true spark plug, talented, outgoing and a true pro. This is truly the kind of place where “everybody knows your name”.

  • Schjanna Rydenour

This is the perfect place to sip a great beer & listen to seriously good music. Bar tenders are knowledgeable and give great recommendations. Not fancy or pretentious but dog friendly and the perfect spot for a weekend afternoon beer.

  • Christopher Pepe

The beer list is solid, but the crowd skews bro-y (and loud) for the neighborhood. Not much in the way of personality and no music playing in the back room. It's fine, but nothing special. They do have a good Nitro Stout on tap.

  • Grant Jesse

Englishman in Brooklyn. Fantastic venue, enjoyed the drinks the great atmosphere and the music has been great. The bar man is superb. Plus I see it has pinball! Sadly I’m rubbish so can’t review but everything else is great.

  • Kris Harper

Cozy bar in the Cobble Hill area with an amazing beer selection. In the summer they open the walls up and in the winter it gets very warm with many people in a small space. Great neighborhood spot. No food, unfortunately.

  • Lara Ruth Ziobro

Nice cozy corner spot - perfect for colder temps and growing roots. The lights are dim, making this a wonderful late night spot. Last time I was there, enjoyed a tasty cider. Prices are fairly normal for a Brooklyn bar.

  • Paul Fusco

Bar Great Harry always has great beers on tap and great happy hour specials. Dogs are allowed inside which is great for me because I love dogs. I would bring my German Shepherd here weekly...if I had one.

  • ej shortell

I went there on a very crowded Saturday afternoon. There is a full service bar with finger foods. We had pumpkin beer. It was very interesting. Fun place to go. They offer a happy hour. Reasonably priced.

  • David Robert Wolcheck

Neighborhood gem serving a wide, rotating selection of craft beer; not too full of itself to offer beer + shot specials. Pinball in the back. Don't sleep on the Sunday Bloody Marys when they're on offer.

  • Matt Meany

Laid back vibe here. Bunch of drafts in tap as well as bottles and cans. They've got seating at the bar and tables on the floor. There is a back room with pinball machines and more seating. Cool spot.

  • Brian Frey

Not too cool, not too trashy, it’s just right…the Goldilocks of Brooklyn. They have decent prices, easy going bartenders, and the crowd is usually in good spirits. Sit inside or out. Play pinball.

  • Gary Mccray

Love this bar. Serious taps and bottles. Chill vibe. Tv has the WC right now. Sister bar to OWL FARM CARDIFF GIANT MISSION DELORES and GLORIETTA BALDY. So the beers will be fresh and fun ALWAYS.

  • Stephen Preston

Best beer selection of any place in downtown Brooklyn. Always several interesting beers on tap you'd never find anywhere else. Bartenders are always laid-back, but friendly and attentive.

  • Leigh Downes

Hands down best bar on the Smith Street strip. Stellar selections, great music choices by staff, chilled atmosphere and if you're lucky you'll get a 5pm goat show. If you know, you know.

  • Marc Avila

There’s pinball in the back and how great is that?! The staff is wonderful and the beer selection is top notch. If you go when the weather is nice, they open the walls which is awesome.

  • Franco Campese

"Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta, actually make that two," is something you might hear at this bar. Yes, it is a beer on draft and it's pretty damn good might I add.

  • Terri Cafaro

Jill is incredible! Great vibe, great beer, great atmosphere!! Must stop by and say hello! You will feel welcomed and will definitely return!! Five star all the way!!

  • Dylan Armstrong

The people working at Bar Great Harry are the best! Always amazing service and conversation, great music and great drinks. Also, they have Fernet on tap ❤️‍ …

  • Konrad Bicher

The worst place to be served in Brooklyn. Do NOT go. The ID and the. Refused to serve us and super racist bar. Arion was the bartender, complete loser

  • Saraj Hanson

Indeed this is a dog friendly bar. My good boi and I were here were a few hours. He got so much love. Def recommend coming here if you have a pooch!

  • Ryan Albaugh

Small selection of liquor. Odd combination of super loud music and multiple infants at the bar at 5pm. Bartender quite assertive with their service.

  • Jeffrey Rozman

Great bar, seemingly okay prices. More of a beer place than a cocktail place but you’ll survive. Pinball in the back, people in the front

  • eracilia giurato

Jill is amazing bartender! Great spot with atmosphere, bar menu & great music!! Must come in & see for yourself...

  • Rahul Rao

Hands down one of my TOP beer bars. I just didn’t realize I had still not written a review for this place!

  • Vivianne Barretto

Cool dive bar. The prices are good. It's a small space but comfortable enough. The bartender was pleasant.

  • Celine Dyer

Arion is one of my absolute favorite bartenders in the neighborhood & always plays the best music!

  • Chris Lattanzio

Great spot. Good beer selection and great bartenders! They have pinball!

  • Adam Samara

Great craft beer selection with a divey vibe.

  • Sam Wilson
