Erik Cintron

This is bar is great for whatever you want. You want to watch sports or want to dance to top 40, celebrate birthday or just chill with your lady it’s here. Always a good crowd,drinks and eye candy

Jane Katz

fun to go with a group and actually the nicest bouncers I've ever witnessed; was a very mixed crowd of fratty boys post college but also jersey shore castmates? drinks are strong and reasonably priced

DoubleDeuce

Great early start place for a date, play a few games and then get the night started. It tends to get fairly rowdy later in the night. If you get a beer can, ask for a koozie!

Kira

The bartender was incredibly nice and the drinks were great. I went in the early evening so I didn’t experience the nightlife aspect but it seemed like a great place to hang, play games and dance .

Kimmie Ohh

Get a Brooklyn Tea (raspberry tea , lemon , sour & iced tea ) or a John Daly (sweet tea vodka , lemon & soda ). There’s a $10 shot & beer special . Great happy hour deals !

Drew Sickler

Staff here are very friendly people. They do not hesitate to give buyback with pickle back shots! Wings are great. Try the bowl o' bacon .

Will Scholl

If you can stand being shoulder to shoulder in a sea of bros, get yourself a few spicy pickle backs to cope.

7th.List

With dozens of whiskeys and scotches available for your sipping pleasure, ending the night on top of the bar seems a more-than-likely outcome. Luckily, Whiskey Brooklyn’s team has done this before. Read more

Amy Cummings

Bring a sweatshirt or jacket as it’s freezing downstairs! (Or just get an Irish coffee to warm yourself up.)

Corey Manicone

It's popping on Sunday's for the games. Make sure you take advantage of the $10 special for a shot and a beer .

Marc Mayer

Good bar food, but the crowd can get a little fratty . Don't fret, the staff will take great care of you.

Nick Damiano

Score 80 points on the basketball game for a free beer (well $1 for the game). As a seasoned pop-a-shot veteran, I was able to get a round for our whole group for under $10.

Amber Nagle

Best pickle back shots I've ever had. Come on a week night and have one of the bartenders create special cocktails for you. Food is solid, too.

Lee Donoher

Soulless place, set up to cash in on the popularity of the area.Avoid and spend your bucks and one if the dozens of other smaller, friendly and real places.

Gianna Nebbia

This is a great place to dance . DJ plays a mix of throwbacks and current hits and gets the crowd all amped up

Becky AwesuM

Cool basement bar with fun arcade games near the bathroom . Attentive staff and chill vibe. Great place to watch sports !

Vicky O

Cool underground sports bar you can watch tv play arcade games , sleep ball, jenga etc. great little place.

Hector

Come for the skee ball , stay for the old fashioned. Late nights are packed with great music for dancing

Mike McBryan

Come during the day for free coozies with every beer and all no lines for the shuffleboard , basketball and skeeball .

Eug

Awful. Wasn't allowed to enter because I was driving. Bouncer saw me parking in the front and said I can't come in. Mind you I don't even drink alcohol . The craziest thing I've ever heard on my life.

Amar Modi

Great alternative to Brooklyn bowl, less wait and bullshit covers, decent priced drinks, great picklebacks and friendly staff .

The Corcoran Group

Try a Pickle Back with Tom Lawless American whiskey . Amazing selection of whiskeys and lots of bar and arcade games .

Thrillist

Throw down Pickle Backs (Whiskey shot w/ Pickle Juice chaser) at this massive adult rec room w/ shuffleboard , foosball , Buck Hunter , mini-basketball, and an Arcade Legends machine. Read more

Nitzan B

Fun cool place with some arcade games . Get free drinks if you make high score!

Abner Aceves

Shuffleboard , Big Buck HD, Whiskey . Best bar in Brooklyn!

Drew Kolar

Obviously, pickle backs are the way to go, but the happy hour is also pretty great: $1 off all the already affordable drinks from noon to 8! Check out my review under "More Info" below! Read more

Cole Kennedy

I tried really hard to leave douchey college bars behind when I moved to NYC.

Thrillist

Features modern touches like seven huge LCDs, and a DJ booth siding an elevated stripper pole (though whether your pole's elevated depends on who's on it). Read more

debz

If you love whiskey (which you should if you're at fucking whiskey Brooklyn) ask Vinnie or Joel for a Presbyterian. You won't regret it.

Cam

Some of the best staff you will ever encounter

Brownstone Living NYC

Great mix and mingle spot. Also good for group gatherings . Cute male bartenders .

Brian McG

Shuffle board , skee ball , basketball & other games in the back make for a fun happy hour spot

Martha

nice selection of games, staff is friendly , space is pretty large so good for groups .

Nick Jordan

The wine selection is non existent, but go for the shuffleboard , spicy backs, and great music .

Shelly Berndt

I spent hours learning shuffleboard here and drinking amazing beer . (And don't be afraid of the Pickle Backs ... they're better than they sound)

marvin n

If you score 80 points at the basketball arcade , you can get a free beer , I tried 3 times and my highest score was 62. better luck next time

Stephan McKenney

Spicy pickle back is surprisingly good. First time here and bar menu looks great hope it lives up to expectations. Honestly this I have high expectations and this place looks like it won't disspoint

Chase Quintana

Super cool, speak easy ish vibe with an awesome venue downstairs

Roland. M

Great place, great music , great atmosphere, very fun. Shuffleboard was the cherry on top....

Lucas Ullrich

Decent gastropub food and fun games. The selection of beers could be improved but then again it's called The Whiskey and not The Beer .

Amy Legge

Fun! Start with a Tom Lawless and spicy pickle back . There are arcade games !

Dara Pollak

Get the tater tots and a shot of Tom Lawless . And save a few bucks for skee ball and Big Buck Hunter .

Giovanni D'Palma

Play some shuffle board and ski ball! It's great spot to chill with some friends.

Alicia Rauser

Joel is a bartender here and he's pretty awesome. If you can wave him down, it's worth it.

Julie Morse

Good music , although bartenders are quite slow and tend to ignore you. Also the waiting line is crazy, try to arrive before 11pm

Gabriella Rossi

Friendly bartenders , arcade games , & a good beer selection

Zachary Farley

Try the Moscow beer . Your friends will be impressed.

Aaron Christopher Cohen

Explain why High Life trucked in from Wisconsin is cheaper than Brooklyn Lager literally made next door.

brenna cammeron

awesome spicy picklebacks , friendly (and good looking) bartenders , phenomenal shuffleboard tables. who could ask for anything more?

Drew Murphy

right next to the brewery , good alternative if the brewery is packed. Free shuffle board and cool vibe
