I really really like this place. Inside, doors that can open when its nice and warm. ONe exposed brick wall (I’m a sucker for that) and all red everywhere else. Its not large, a few tables and a decent sized bar. While I love the interior its the price and selection that will have me coming back. taps are well priced and often have something interesting for me to drink. The bottle list is amazingly inexpensive, either just a buck or two more than store prices or sometimes exactly the same (i.e CL Xtra Gold)). Also Risk, Uno, and boggle are available to play. I will be coming back for sure.

Was in the neighborhood with some time to kill, and passed by Great Bar. I noticed a sign that mentioned 12 craft beers on tap so in I went. I found a nice micro selection, some great bottles, and a very friendly and knowledgeable owner/bartender.Nice comfortable bar, definitely neighborhoody, but I wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood.

I’ve been in here a few times, and while it’s a cool little neighborhood corner dive bar, it’s not really a destination per se. It’s a pretty cool vibe, youngish and laid back. Ratty hardwood floors and a small bar at one corner of the bar. Low light and an eclectic mix of tunes. Good tap selection...nothing super rare, but you’ll definitely be able to find something tasty. It’s worth visiting if you’re in the area and looking to shoot the shit with a buddy.

I visited this little bar last week in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn for the Sixpoint release of its Tripel ale. I could have easily passed it by as it was vaguely lit from the outside, but once inside, the place a had great smoldering touch of comfort and ease to its functioning. The bartender was friendly with my first order as I looked around. It doesn’t take much to pack it in there, but everyone seemed comfortable. I hope to return as the bar has fast rotating tap list and a very good bottle selection, both of which can be seen on line in their blog.
