Beer Street South

"My friends and I have been coming here monthly for almost 2 years and the previous bartender who was here on Thursday nights was so kind and welcoming. The lady there today was the rudest bartender I have ever encountered anywhere. I see from other recent reviews that this is not an isolated experience. I hope Beer Street South will revisit their staffing choices and bring back the warm, welcoming vibe we used to know them for."

"Do not come here if you expect kind or even remotely polite employees. We visited at 2 PM on a Saturday, and the place was completely empty except for our group of 16 adults (comprised of parents and grandparents) and 9 kids. Fresh from a birthday party at Chelsea Piers, we had a few (6) balloons with us. Despite being the only customers, the employees were incredibly rude. They clearly did not want children there, even though the establishment allows them. Their hostility was apparent from the start. They gave us curt, one-word answers when we asked about drinks and displayed the worst attitudes imaginable. They mentioned having had issues with kids before and made it clear that they didn't want us there due to past experiences. Their behavior was unacceptable, making everyone in our group uncomfortable. Avoid this place at all costs!!!! The service is abysmal, and the staff is the rudest I've ever encountered. It's shocking that such an unfriendly establishment exists in the otherwise family-friendly Brooklyn neighborhood. They should seriously consider relocating. I have a video of how chill our kids were being while these nasty employees just huffed and puffed around us the entire time but can’t post it. We left shortly after and went to BierWax just a block away who warmly welcomed kids and were so incredibly kind!!! Go there instead!"

"I went to this bar to watch the Euro 2024 finals champion match and I am genuinely confused why they promoted the game on their social media. I’m not sure why this bar was promoting the game when they do not have TV screens and you can barely see the game from the projectors due to the sun that beams through the large windows (photo for reference). Knowing that the game would bring in a lot of traffic, there was only 1 bartender working and a bus boy. The service was horrible. There were at least 100 customers there and everyone needed to make a long line in order to get a drink. Aside from that, they allow young children and pets inside which I’m surprised since this is a bar and not a restaurant. I don’t know why there isn’t any proper staffing here, considering this bar has been on Vanderbilt for 4 years. I hope they improve as they have a great space and potential to bring in a lot of customers, but this seems to be a recurring issue each time I’ve come these past 3 years."

"They were playing late 90/ early 2000s jazzy boom bap hip hop. It was rustic yet urban. Lots of brass and and wood fittings and furnishings. Except for one wobbly table, great place to be."

"This is a nice place to come with a group or even a quick date. They have a great beer selection as well as good ciders on draft. Great service and very clean bathrooms. I can’t wait to come back here and show some of my beer loving friends!"
