Chinese Musician Brooklyn Reviews
Their buffalo wings are the best I’ve ever had. Unmatched bar food - pierogis, tots, burgers, etc. Been several times and it never misses. Can get crowded/loud inside but vibes are good.
THE WINGSSSSSSSSS! Some of the best I’ve ever had in my life and that saying a lot. And the whole entire menu is just beautiful. So happy I stumbled up on this place. I am obsessed very friendly staff too. IMPRESSIVE!
Nice chill local neighborhood bar - good beer selection and food. Pretzel is great as were the wings
This neighborhood was primarily Polish in its heyday now there is a hipster takeover. Brew Inn is the perfect respectful transition watering hole. Rustic, rad and retro. Extensive craft beer selection without pretentiousness. Greenpoint strong.
Best burger in New York I have eaten so far. Large, soft, juicy meat and side dishes. Perfectly. Amazing fries, actually potatoes in the skin. Beer served in frozen glasses. Brilliant. Friendly and kind service. Great atmosphere and music. I will come back there for sure!
Best burgers I had in NYC! Amazing and unique! Trivia and Karaoke on Wednesdays is a great time
My friend brought us here the other night and were first seated outside which was this nice sort of enclosed room but with the door open and it was heated. We stayed there about fifteen minutes, got drinks and than were able to be seated indoors. We ordered the po’boy which was to die for! Those tator tots were great too. I’d come back for sure. The atmosphere was chill. The server was awesome and polite. Definitely coming back!
Officially my favorite burger in the city. Insane.
This place is the neighborhood bar every neighborhood should have. The staff is super friendly, the food is incredible and very reasonably priced (debatably best burger in nyc), and the vibes are comfortable and fun. They go crazy with sports on the weekends and even crazier for karaoke on Wednesdays. I love the people there and the bartenders really go above and beyond. Shout out to Josh, Mary, and Ty. Y’all are awesome.
Absolutely incredible!! The blue cheese burger was delicious, and the wings were truly the best I’ve ever had in the city. 12/10 recommended
very standard dive bar with really solid wings. the waitress was very patient with our drunken stupidity so god bless her for holding down a genuine smile. wings are top notch. the tots nachos were really good too
Has a great outdoor space for our dog :) very friendly staff, great brunch options and free mimosa included with each plate, highly recommended in Greenpoint!
We stopped in to The Brew Inn on a Monday night on our way back to the hotel after seeing a concert. We chose a table in the back and watched the last of the Monday night football game, the bartender offered table service and though the kitchen was closed, he wrangled up a couple plates of pierogies for our after concert appetite (On Monday nights pierogies are 75¢ each). The food came out fast, was hot and super delicious. The vibe was local, dive bar, chill. There were Christmas lights up and 6-8 people at the bar who seemed familiar with each other. We left at midnight and the place was still hopping. We decided that if we lived in the neighborhood, we'd be stopping in to The Brew Inn regularly to hang with neighbors and friends. Our stop in was the perfect end to our Monday adventures in Brooklyn.
If you’re in Greenpoint, and it's baseball season and not at The Brew Inn, what are you even doing? 😄 This place has mastered the holy trinity: cold beer, solid pub grub (they even have a killer veggie burger)and the exact right level of neighborhood chaos. It’s the kind of spot where you go for “one quick drink” and suddenly you’re three hours deep, debating life choices over perfectly crispy fries. It's a neighborhood treasure. Not pretentious, welcoming, and reliably fun — basically your friend who always says “last round?” and somehow makes it sound like a great idea. 10/10 neighborhood gem.
I heard the burgers where great here and they did not disappoint! Great selection of beers as well. Busy but not too crowded- great service!
The owners are very friendly and the service is quick and attentive. Classic Americanized Chinese food. The classic feel extends to the decor as well. Nostalgic, solid, and fair prices.
Ordered for the first time this new years, super yummy! Is like classic American Chinese food
I live a few blocks from here and wanted to try out the food, so i ordered it on too good to go, the amount of food i got was amazing, the variety was incredible! The food is some of the best Chinese food Ive had in a really long time!! I will definitely make this my new go to Chinese spot!
I got some food from 2good2go and the surprise bag was one of the best I ever got. The bad reviews are all old reviews and in the meantime there was a change of ownership. I can just recommend their food. The Eggroll was banging.
This place is amazing! My family and I ate here and the food is so fresh and delicious it was on a different level. We didn’t need to wait at all for a table and the food came quickly. I had the fried duck with vegetables and white rice. It was delicious, so fresh, and juicy! I also had a shrimp roll that was delicious and pork fried dumplings. My family ordered vegetable fried rice and it was amazing from what they told me along with crab Rangoon. They gave plenty of vegetable fried rice and crab Rangoon. The worker name Lucy is so kind and amazing. She was so helpful with menu items and always served us with a smile. She was always ready to re-fill, help us order more, and talk to us about menu items.
The Food, in my opinion, looks very appealing. The meat was quite tender and was applied with a decent amount of their flavorful sauce. Along with that, the service was above standards and overall, the waiters were very nice
Not sure why there are so many negative reviews - ordered take out and everything tasted good. I would say it’s more like a no-frills classic American Chinese food. Nothing out of this world, but for the price and quality I think it’s 5 stars. Got Generals Tso’s and it was good. Not too spicy - has that sweet and spicy flavor. Breading to chicken ratio - heavier on the breading side - but was warm and comforting. Egg rolls were also good - just a classic egg roll. Considering price and how fast pickup was - will definitely come back.
I haven't visited them for a long time, but I used to come here more often, so when my friend offered me lunch, I agreed immediately! It's a pity they don't have wages on the menu anymore, but the fries are also good. I ordered the Harvest burger, and my friend had the vegetarian option. The burger was as usual. amazing!!! - large, juicy and kept in one piece. Portabella, cheese and caramelized onion make a nice combination! The sauce could be a little spicier, I think it was missing a bit of pepper or jalapeno. I once said that these are the best burgers in this city and I haven't changed my mind!!!! I highly recommend it, make sure you have room in your stomach because the portions are huge!!! Supposedly they have good beer, but I can't confirm because I don't drink alcohol. perfect place to watch the match, they have a few TVs and always. you can watch sports. good music. they have tables outside, so there is an option to go outside. I highly recommend it and enjoy your meal!!!
The Brew Inn gives hole in the wall, no frills vibes. When we arrived there was a bit of confusion on whether or not we should wait to be seated but since no one came we grabbed the nearest available table and the bar tender approached us within a few minutes with the menu. If ordering the burgers be prepared to wait around 20 minutes, as stated in their menu. Burger was good and tater tots were delicious. Patty could have done with a smidge less time on the grill but overall a good experience.
Nice bar with a great selection of beers on tap. I had a Greenpoint Milk & Honey, it was great. I also had the All Good Things burger, which was good, but the buffalo sauce drowned out some of the taste of the other ingredients. The bun and meat were quite tasty, though.
The bar was lively and fun, and the presentation of the food as well as the bar itself were fantastic. However, I wasn't that big a fan of the burger. Maybe I had high expectations from all that I had heard. It was still good, just not as special as I had been led to believe it would be. I'll probably be back to try a different burger though, who knows!
Food was alright, nothing outstanding. Quality was average, food was a little too oily for my stomach, so not sure if I’d want to go back again. Service was fast and staff were very kind
I support these guys about 1xa month whenever I had any sorry of problem they corrected it right away. One of last places that makes chow mein the way I remember it. They are fast too!!!
The General Tso’s chicken tasted great: crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside with good flavor. I combined with a terrific hot and sour soup. Try their lunch special from 11:30 am to 4 pm.
We sat at a table (not at the bar since we wanted more space for food) around 10:15, didn’t see a food menu and the server didn’t offer us one. We asked for one when they came back around 10:27, but we were told that the kitchen closed at 10:30 despite the drink menu behind the bar saying the kitchen didn’t close until 12 and online ordering being available until 11:15. The drinks we got were good, but we went specifically because we wanted food and were recommended here for their burgers. Very disappointing experience.
Wow. So, we ordered the Wor Shu Duck. This is NOT what the dish should look or taste like. ZERO crispiness. Just slimy low quality meat, sitting in a goop scoop of watery sauce. The General Tso was not crispy at all.Just slop, and difficult to decipher from the Sesame Chicken (which we also ordered). l used to work in a Chinese takeout restaurant. This is offensive. The restaurant has gone south. When they first opened up, they were good. I remember those days. What have they become?
Poor me, LOL. $15 for plain Chinese broccoli, oily and some of garlic is bad. Looks like they use rotten stuff! I wasn't planning to eat at this place. I was waiting for my appointment at a place nearby. So I just want small thing to fill my empty stomach up. I should learn long time ago that this type of place has unhealthy food and terrible cook, but I wasn't expecting the worst food and unwelcome service. Please runaway.
