- Local place, comfortable feel
I am a frequent traveler. Often I get stuck eating at the local "tourist" attraction restaurants, which is horrible. Waterfront Ale House is exactly what you need if you want a really chill place to relax, respond to email on your blackberry, have a few good pints, and be SURPISED by the food. I had the Wednesday special of a Venison burger topped with mushroom ragu....not your typical "neighb...

I was a regular customer of the ale house. Service is a bit slow, but the food usually makes up for it. However, on my last visit, we asked for a high chair for our one yr old baby and the waitress told us that it was located in the back and we had to get it ourselves. Unreal!!! ok so now we ordered the Texas dip and usually the brisket is moist and you get a decent size sandwich, but this time ...

What more can you ask for?

I fell in love with this beer when I lived in Belgium and have been unable to find it ever since. After four years of searching in many different states and cities I found it on tap at Waterfront Ale House - I was quite excited. The veggie potstickers were also good and the free popcorn was great! Beer and popcorn is def...

Not living as close now but still worth the trip. It's a local pub not a 4 star establishment, but everything is solidly done and consistently tastes good. The beer selection out does most bar/pubs. The smoked meats are great, (note - the brisket sandwich is a lot of meat and costs a lot less than the plate). A...

My husband and I have refused to come back after an embarrasing incident where a bartender (who has been rude to us in the past) refused to serve us despite the fact that we were well over 21, because he was refusing to accept our NJ DLs as proof of age.
We tried the once again a year later, and was yelled at by a waitress for sitting at a table even though the kitchen was closed. The same ba...

I especially wanted a cask ale. Well, the beer selection was truly amazing, for example, I didn't know Monk's Sour Ale was available outside of Monk's in Philadelphia. So I ordered a cask IPA. To my astonishment, the beer arrived refrigerated - truly cold. That's a first fo...

They all seem like pretenders to the throne after indulging myself here for a year. The food is fantastic (the specials are the best part, especially the game). The beer selections are great. One or two of the barmen may not be very talkative, but they're all very professional barmen(and women). From a properly mixed martini to a properly chosen scotch or t...

One of the more established bars in the area; it made a name for itself when it opened across the street in the spot now occupied by super-hip Last Exit. The crowd has followed, and the service remains quite good and the food ranges from fair to poor. Their established following perhaps explains why they seem willing to rest on their laurels beer-wise, and it still has an atmosphere the Smit...

The smoker in the back produces super smoked meats. I like the fee popcorn. This is a Brooklyn place, a real keeper. Hope it stays around awhile.
Read More On Citysearch aachilles 5/13/2006 - Awful!I can't believe my fellow Citysearch reviewers let me down! I've relied on this site and its members to find so many good places, but this one was a huge letdown. We were one of only 2 or 3 tables, but the waitress managed to forget some of our food and a round of drinks! The food was absolutely terrible; no taste, swimming in oil, and overpriced. I have no reason to go back, and I wouldn't recom...
Read More On Citysearch citylivin 10/7/2005 - A GemA pub that does things right. A very good beer selection, delicious pub fare food (try the venison chili or the fries with cheese and jalapenos) and a surprisingly good selection of single malt scotches, bourbons and higher-end liquors. Good staff that knows their business and what's good to eat and drink: if you're not sure what's good, ask. Customers tend towards local Brooklyn Heights/Cobble...

Read More On Citysearch by pooh at nymag.com 3/4/2003 - Brooklyn GoldBeer...a thoughtful, well chosen roster of microbrews, Burgers and pulled pig sandwich to die for...AND then to be surprised on a later Saturday evening when a wonderful (I can't believe it came free) jazz ensemble made us stay and enjoy. Perfect.
Read More On Citysearch gustav 2/12/2003 - great barbecue ribs The barbecue spare ribs are the best I have found in New York so far! I can't belive that this neighborhood pub could have such a great menu!
The hand cut french fries with Sam's Famous Hot Sauce are awsome!
Read More On Citysearch alehouse89 2/9/2003 - The best burger and hot sauce!Another great Brooklyn bar on Atlantic Ave. This place has quickly become my favorite Brooklyn beer bar. The beer selection is always diverse, interesting, and reasonably priced. You won't find a huge number here but they are obviously carefully chosen. Most of the staff is very friendly and talkative (Mary, Peter, et al). They really make you feel at home and don't complain much when drunks spil...
Read More On Citysearch cscheffold 8/28/2002 - Simple and SublimeA diverse and surprising menu that doesn't seem to fit the plain-ol'-pub decor -- did some master chef lose a bet? If so, Brooklynites are the lucky ones. Good range of beers, great chow (try the venizon chili), entertaining crowd. The one knock: Bring back the waffle fries!
