The Brazen Head Albee Square Reviews
I love coming here for a quiet lunch time beer. Staff is friendly and atmosphere is cozy. My fav bartenders are Carl, Lulu, and Tracy.
Stopped by for a quick beer and ended up staying for a long time. The bartender, lulu, is charasmatic and lovely!
Quality craft beer list. And excellent service from Trey. It’ll feel like a friendly local spot after two minutes.
love this local spot :) very chill bar & i like that you can bring outside food! bartenders are cool & i love the jell-o shots
Brazen Head is a true hidden gem. The cozy, old-school pub vibe makes it perfect for a relaxed night out, and the food consistently delivers. The escargot is rich and flavorful—one of the best around—and the martinis are perfectly made every time. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and unpretentious. Always a favorite go-to spot!
Stays open til 4am! The bartender John was fun, attentive, and had a great playlist going. Huge selection of local beers and tons of liquor options. They had darts and other board games to play as well as some snacks like chips and popcorn. Exactly what you want in a Brooklyn bar.
Michelle was/is wonderful!!!!! Great hospitality & she was doing her Thang by herself!!! Beast!!! Respect queen; my motivation!!!! I'm a new bartender so I watch and appreciate great service and she provided just that! Great multi-tasker!!!! She's a vibe!!!! If you're ever in Downtown Brooklyn around Atlantic Ave go Check her and tell her David sent ya!!!! Good vibes and great music!!!! Tell Kim David from Roccos Tacos said hey!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, this bar is such an oasis of joy. I have felt the warmth of true welcome. A place of solace and truth. I was here for a dog’s birthday party. A dog I adore. This was a place where celebrations were abundant. Just breathing the air was being transported to Utopia. The Brazen Head is not to be missed. It’s to be enjoyed.
Drinks are good and strong. Bartender was able to make drinks for a group of about 20 plus other patrons with no problem. They don’t have food but you are able to bring in your own food. Overall good bar to check out. I believe they also have an outdoor space.
It was cool, except I went in there because they had a highlife + whiskey combo for 7.75 and they charged me almost 15. Feelsbadman
Casual and chill neighborhood bar with a wide beer selection. They even gave me a water bowl for my dog, which I appreciated. I spent $8 per beer, which I found to be a bit higher-priced. Note that they have a $15 minimum for credit cards. Service was just okay, my bartender seemed annoyed when I was trying to get her advice on what to order (I noticed she was being a lot more friendly with the male customers). All in all, this seems like a place for beer lovers but I personally do not plan to be a frequent customer given the lackluster service.
I enjoyed the atmosphere and the mango-peach cider. I did not enjoy the fact that an additional $4 tip was charged to my card the next morning after I had already left a cash tip of 20 percent for my two ciders. Not cool.
Bartender took my bill after I tipped, looked at it, and went on to say “there are 6 of you, I’m giving myself 20%” even though I went up for only 3 drinks. My buddy had a similar experience. Good vibes, but bartender was rude
There's a young female bartender with shoulder length curly hair that has a snobby attitude. I dont know what happened to the other ladies that were there before but this one gives of a very bad vibe.. my friends and I went for drinks and she didnt even greet us she just asked what can I get you guys with a bad attitude. One of us ordered a canned beer and my friend had to ask for a glass and instead of handing it to her she slid it to her and it almost fell. Another one asked for a vodka soda and my friend had to ask for straws and a coaster. Honestly we were very disgusted with her attitude and extremely disappointed with her service.
We left this girl a cash tip for the 2 beers we ordered around 8:30 on Tuesday the 22nd. Your bartender ended up writing in an extra 4 dollars on our cc receipt. Did she just totally scribble out the authorized total on our signed receipt?? So basically, she stole from us. I know it's just 4 dollars but that is theft, and we are never coming back.
