Had such a great time here with a group of three! The drinks were all solid in price. They have a bunch of different beer shot options that are $8 to $10. Also got a mango Bellini, which was so freaking good. For food, we got fries, mozzarella sticks, a burger, chicken nachos, and chicken Tinga tacos. All solid food options. The star of the place though is the service. The place was really busy, but we always felt taken care of. excited to go back for trivia night on Tuesdays.

This place is a great and may possibly be one of the best burgers in all of Brooklyn. The bartenders are amazing as well as the rest of the staff. I have dined in and out and was satisfied each time

Lovely little bar. Our server Kendrick took good care of us and was hilarious to boot. Decently-priced drinks including a few $3-$5 cans. Tasty food, particularly the juicy pineapple habanero wing special. Ideal for a drink and snack after a summer swim at Kosciuszko.

Great place to spend the afternoon hiding from the world. Great drinks ... service... atmosphere.

Probably the swankiest, weirdest little spot in Brooklyn. First off, Captain Dan is the dog—so let’s start there. The dog is memorialized, almost canonized, in paintings throughout the entire place. If he were a real dog, I swear I’d have hair in my mouth. It started off feeling like a house of curiosities and somehow evolved into a full-fledged place you’ll never want to leave—until they make you. The crowd, the bartenders, and the servers were impeccable. They have a drink special listed on the wall. My friend ordered one with bananas. I cringed at first—“Ew”—until I tasted it. It was a delightful, summery splash of a drink. Sneaks up on you too. That’s what a seasoned drinker says after his fourth: “It snuck up on me.” A group of women sat outside and totally captured my attention. Their energy was so magnetic, I ran out, introduced myself, and took their picture. So if you’re looking for a bar with a heartbeat—and the portrait of its namesake greeting you at every turn (ruff ruff)—then this is your place. And yes, I am this dramatic in real life too.

I had the peanut butter burger, which was one of their daily random burgers and it was awesome. This place def has dive bar qualities but don't pass up the cocktails. I really liked the Granny Chaser. They were out of the Danny Devito but Imma come back for it. They also have ponies of Miller Highlife and a solid $8 (or around there) beer and shot special.

Really enjoyed this place, it looked dark from the outside but the interior has a lot going on. The walls are covered in pictures, sat at the window’ looking out at the small and full exterior garden /space. Staff were friendly and working hard. It was good to be back in New York.

TL;DR: Fish and Chips: read no more. Service is good. Atmosphere not everyone’s cup of tea so I will lower that rating, though I personally liked it. Most food is alright. The reason why I am giving this place a 5 star review is because they make the best Fish N Chips that I have ever tried. I have had this like 10 times and they are consistently good. GET THE FISH N CHIPS! Fish N Chips: Freshly cooked, crunchy batter. Fish is juicy and almost melts in one’s mouth. Tartar sauce is out of this world. The fries are fresh but just alright imo. I think these can be improved but the fish with tartar sauce makes up for anything the fries might be lacking. You will not be disappointed. Also beware that the tip is already included. Their drinks are cute as well.

As a self-respecting, self-loving hedonist, I am constantly on a mission to find the best bar food in New York City. Few things are more pleasurable than good company, a cold beer, and some well executed bar food. Captain Dan has a monopoly on bar food. It’s indulgent, delicious, and worth going back for. The portions are massive, so I do recommend sharing.

I always bring my friends here when they visit from out of town. I have been here for both breakfast and Friday night shenanigans. The food is delicious and the drinks are well priced. The decor and atmosphere is quirky and fun. The music rocks whether it be classic hip-hop or a little bit of classic rock I'm always down to boogie. I love this place, everyone in the Stuy should visit!

Nice little place. Sidewalk seating. Great people watching, good food and very good prices. We had the nachos with the pulled pork. Excellent. Smash Burger looked great.

Chanced upon this place while in the area and was very happy that I . loved the neighborhood feel and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was very cool and nice. This actually reminds me of one of the local bars I grew up in my Hometown of Baltimore, very charming and the nineties music playing was awesome! I don't drink but I had one of their house lemonades which was tasty.I had the the brussel sprouts which were to die for! The cheese fries with sour cream were also excellent with the horseradish sauce. The reason I gave only 3 stars is because of the wings. I ordered extra crispy barbecue and that's exactly how they came!! They were excellent tasting and very fresh ,they also came with the horseradish sauce which I guess is the specialty of the house no complaints there either!! When the bill came, I noticed that 6 wings cost $16 I thought that there must have been an error as as I have never paid $2.66 for a chicken wing in my entire life and they weren't even whole wings! I asked the waitress if this was a mistake and she said no, my girlfriend even checked the menu and it's true 6 wings for $16 ,12 for $32 are you serious? For chicken wings? I'm not one to go over the price of anything before I decide, I just order what I want and assume that there is usually some sort of general standard in most bars and restaurants on certain items like French fries, wings, mozzarella sticks sticks ETC. This was definitely an exception. I really enjoyed the wings and would have gone back if it were not for the price; it's too bad ,they were perfection but not worth 16 bucks.

Be aware that they charge you an extra 20% automatic gratuity on your check. The food has 20% already added and then on your check they hope you don’t notice the extra 20% automatic gratuity add. Really weird. 1 drink and a house salad with protein cost $45.00. Sad that they try to pull this stunt… because the place is quite good.

Theres a 20% gratuity added to your order, the waitress doesn't even bring you water you have to go to the front to get it yourself and she was rude. Food was OK but overpriced. Not going back

I really like this place. The staff is friendly. The food is amazing but it’s just too damn expensive nachos and one beer was $40 because they add 20% gratuity to your bill. It’s very overpriced not really worth it if you think about it.

Not outright saying they’re racist but I was sitting down with my friend and boyfriend (Black, Asian and Latino) and we were literally the ONLY ones not waited on. I watched the waitress go to every other table besides us. We were the only people of color there at this time so idk it was weird. We ended up getting up and leaving

I want to like this place so bad. I’ve lived a block away for years and the food is good and the servers are friendly. Just be prepared to feel like you’re getting nickeled and dimed for everything. First, it’s the 20% auto gratuity for every bill. I always tip 20% anyways so fine. Whatever. Then it was charging for mayo. Let me repeat that. CHARGING FOR MAYO. Now, on my most recent visit for the first time in a year, they've started charging 3% for using a credit card (was hard for me to find any signage that disclosed this which is required by NYC law.) So finally with tax, you are paying an extra 30%+ on top of your bill no matter what. I would come here so much more if it wasn’t for these folk’s obsession with charging you extra fees. There is not a single other bar in the vicinity that treats their customers like this. Very frustrating!

The good - service, and nice people. As for the rest - For this price… nah, food’s not worth the $. overpriced. Lemonade - from the bottle.. coke was flat, ran out of amaretto.. wings are barely mediocre, burger is maybe worth $6-7. fries are ok.. but for food served in baskets, and slow service (due to being understaffed) I feel it’s a lil unjustified 20% automated gratuity.. not even sure that’s legal.. but didn’t say anything cause we tip 20% anyhow.. At this price point - go to Brooklyn Public House, much more bang for your buck… 🤷‍♀️

Taker under consideration that before you even sit down this place decide for you to add 20% tip regardless to the service you'll get, the amount of people or the total bill. I broth it up and shared it with the waiter, I asked him " Can you please forward my feedback?!" his best answer was, "but nobody complains about it". Luckily I noticed it before we ordered food, so we left. One thing for sure, that was my first and last time there!
