The burgers are great and the sweet potato fries and regular fries amazing ???? don't even let me talk about the Mac and cheese with lobsters . Great service, they made any drinks we asked for.

Emily Wilson

This place transports you to England. For brunch , the eggs Benedict on crumpets with avocado was super satisfying. We didn't go for it, but the pitcher of Pimms was very tempting.

David Rosenberg

This is your Brooklyn go-to for all things Tottenham Hotspur. It's good to be in a lively and friendly environment while Spurs are crushing your hopes and dreams.

Marlynn West

Grilled Portobello sandwich with goat cheese and carmelized onions is the best I've had. The Swan Toddy is one of several warm drinks that is perfect on a chilly day

Gothamist

Here Mac n' cheese works best when it's filled with all sort of culinary non sequiturs. Add sun dried tomatoes or jalapeños for $2, bacon for $3, fresh lobster meat for $7. Unadorned mac is $10. Read more

If I could come here everyday I would! This go round I tried a Lobster PLT...First of all its HUGE! And so very tasty. And our waiter was great in suggesting just the right beer !

Gothamist

This spot is particularly adept at furnishing their already perfectly suitable mac n' cheese with tasty extras like sun dried tomatoes , jalapeños , fresh lobster meat, bacon , etc. Read more

Liz Paulino

Mac & cheese with jalapeños and bacon - so delicious! Highly recommend. Outdoor area has heaters and is not fully enclosed which made me feel comfortable dining here during the pandemic.

Nicole Formica

One of the best Bloody Mary's I have had in the city . Anything topped with a slice of bacon is an A+ in my book .

Darryl B

awesome place! the chicken and waffles were hella good!

Kevin Leahy

Legitimately one of my favorite restaurants ever. Great food/menu, awesome beer selection , perfect Bloody Mary (with great garnishes ). Every time I'm in Brooklyn at all I have to come here.

stephen s

Great spot in bedstuy. Solid beer and shot choices and various other specials. Food is good but if you want to save a buck you can always pop next door for a bucket and wash it down with a drink.

Umair Zia

Have the chicken'n'waffles. The chicken is greasy (in a good way), with crispy waffles And whipped butter, and syrup on the side. Works brilliantly. Add a bit of salt, to compliment the sweetness.

Katherine Krueger

Mac and cheese (def add bacon ) is beyond, and rich enough for two. Also very worth it: hand crafted winter cocktails . Watch out for the bro-y bar crowd and really mediocre service, though.

Cole Kennedy

This is a damn near perfect pub . The weeknight mussels & fries special is crazy, but can't go wrong with the Camden.

Argelys Oriach

The burger is too big to eat without having it fall apart in your hands, but that's because you have the option of adding almost any number of toppings for not much extra money. Yummy mac and cheese !

Marius Watz

Excellent for brunch and late-night boozy snacks that are actually tasty. Hate the term "gastropub " term all you want, it's accurate.

Brownstone Living NYC

Great for dates, group outings , family gatherings, sports games , happy hour , birthdays, brunch etc.. The food is great, lots of options for all kinds of eaters.

Joanna Flamm

The front bar is dark, but behind it is a large seating area with a skylight. Tasty brunch and super friendly service . Bloody Marys come with bacon AND shrimp !

marcy stone

Great place...delicious food, nice atmosphere and very kid friendly . The burger was delicious and the kids French toast was more adult in style and yuuuumy.. I'll definitely be back.

Manda Shettleton

Mac n cheese , add sundried tomatoes . Great place for a date or to take your parents. Narrow bar in front. Big tables in the back.

Stina P.

great for delivery if you're in the clinton hill area. order the kale salad and mac n cheese that you can order with bacon .

Rasheda Edness

My salad was awesome except the dish was heavy on the cheese . I found the waiter to not be as nice to me as I would have liked but I was too hungry to allow him to ruin my experience. Good Food

Christine Renee

I've actually been here a few times for brunch/dinner they have an awesome bar for all those sports fans and the drinks are strong most importantly the food is off the hook

Alexandra Doucette

Amazing food. $12 unlimited prosecco from 6-8pm everyday (EDIT: Server told me it was everyday; apparently it's Wednesdays...). They're good about refilling too. Definitely the best spot in the hood.

David Guerra Terol

9oz burguer with goat cheese , fried egg & sweet potatoes . You will be counting calories for a week but won't regret at all.

Kelsey

The food is great, I had the black swan burger . The service is the only problem I had, my waiter was MIA most of the time and different servers had to help pick up his slack.

Brittany M

The mac and cheese is amazing. I get it every time I come here and have yet to be disappointed with it.

NEKE NOEL

Love everything about this neighborhood bar . The Black Swan salad is always my favorite. Drinks are made with lots of effort

Meredith Hope

This place has a great brunch menu , and they serve brunch daily! Their Bloody Marys are amazing, what's better than bacon in a drink?!

Julian Paul

They have hidden specials on dinner menu , so ask if they don't tell you. I had 6-hour smoked ribs paired with a mescal cocktail that laid me out.

Andrew Kang

They have an impressive selection of beer . You can get a whiskey and beer combo for $7! Did I mention you can get a scotch , bourbon , rum or tequila flight? Major plus!

bhimtastic

Super chill atmosphere. Great lighting. Ideal for a quiet meetup or dinner by yourself. Two Happy Hours everyday. Open to 8pm; 1am-4am.

Danny Carnaje

Great service, good food, and a beefed up Bloody Mary . I had The Full English. T'was good.

Monique Camara

Burgers were OK. Pre fixed prices for weekends before 4. Then kitchens closed till 6. The wings looked like they get so much love @prep. They're bound to be amazing. Great beers and great HH deals.

Bed-Stuy Crawl

Writes Clay Williams, " a beautiful, black wood-laden gastropub " and "includes a cask beer engine ." All the reasons to never leave the 'hood.

Manda Shettleton

If Gnocchi is on special, you must. Bees knees cocktail is a fave. Good vibes for movers and shakers. Nice low lighting and airy open space in back.

The Corcoran Group

Great brunch spot in Bed Stuy. We love the chicken & waffles paired with a Bloody Swan .

Lea Ceasrine

Brit bar in Brooklyn - Radiohead fans unite! Seriously scrumptious salmon , beans over fries , and fried chocolate .

Missmac731

Happy hour from 11:00am-8:00pm, 7 days a week! Sunday-Thursday, Happy hour starts up again between 1:00am-4:00am!

Kathryn H

Gluten free beer (New Planet), Angry Orchard Cider on draft & 2 other bottled ciders to choose from. No gf menu, but you can modify easily. I'll definitely be back.

nikki austin

Sweet potato fries and a local beer . You can't go wrong.

Monique Camara

Came back to taste the burger again and was hoping the first time was just a mishap. Same deal the 2nd time around. But I must say the jerk wings are real and delicious. Real meaning good meat :)

Kushal Dave

The mac n cheese , cornbread , and chocolate cake are all excellent, and the vibe is great (but the collard greens are a total miss)!

Abner Aceves

Awesome #soccer bar ! The Mac and cheese was amazing. I recommend as much toppings as possible.

EchoDA

A great variety of beers , good food, tv screens and a very nicely designed environment. Your favorite bar , from now on.

Commander Black

Big fan of the burger with cheddar and bacon medium rare! On extra special days get it with an egg on tip for extra indulgence!

Emily Kane

The red pepper ranch that comes with the Wisconsin cheese curds makes my Midwestern heart so extremely happy.

Ashley Rudolph

Had the chicken and waffles . If you don't like whipped cream , order without. I ended up scraping mine off. Other than that it was good!

Joshua Ness

If you're a beer drinker, get a Radeberger. It's an authentic German lager served in its own 20oz glass, and it's only $5 (a dollar less during Happy Hour ).
