I recently hosted a party at the Craic (which is also my local go-to bar). Michelle and the team were accommodating and easy to coordinate with leading up to the event, and the service was excellent day of. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a space to host a party in the Williamsburg area!

I celebrated my 30th birthday here at the beginning of December. The team here made it all so easy and worry-free when my other two venues fell through last minute. Michelle was so attentive and sweet to allow me and my friends literally take over the private room. We had such a great time and all my guest were raving about how perfect the night was all thanks to the help and support of The Craic team! Sound quality was great, the drinks were delicious (and flowing!), and the vibes were priceless. Thank you all again for hosting my birthday and if you ever need a place to host an event I would highly recommend using The Craic. Can't wait to come back again!

What a gem. Out of towners that stop by off of a recommendation. The bartender was such a cool vibe. Welcoming us in on a cool winter night, offering the best Guinness the town has to offer. Very laid back and spacious with just the right lighting to keep the night going. For sure will be back!

We did our Elopement Wedding party at the Craic and it was the best idea ever. Abby was a wonderful host and bartender and helped us during the entire night!! They let us bring our own decorations, DJ, food and even a bottle of our Chilean drink pisco to celebrate with our friends! If you ever need to celebrate anything I strongly recommend doing it in The Craic! Will be back soon! Cheers

Whenever I come here for the past 4 years the drinks are flowing, service is exceptional, and guaranteed good time. The staff especially make this spot, you won’t be disappointed. Should’ve wrote a review ages ago but better late than never. See you guys soon!

I have no notes for these guys. Absolutely amazing bar through and through. My fiance and I had our engagement party in the private event space and it was perfect. Fantastic service and great drinks. I cannot recommend it enough. Shoutout to Michelle for helping organize!!

Has to be up there for one of the best Guinness had outside of Ireland. Bartender was great. Good vibe. Didn’t eat, only had a couple pints

We hosted our 60-person engagement party in their private event space and it was wonderful! Very spacious, private bar, and private bathrooms. The drinks were delicious and we were very well taken care of! There is no fee to reserve the space - just a minimum. Would recommend to anyone who is trying to host a large party in Brooklyn!

One of our favorite neighborhood bars in Williamsburg! If you’re looking for a cozy vibe, Guinness, and great company - you’ve found the place. We had our engagement party here and highly recommend hosting your next event at The Craic. It was such a breeze from start to finish. The space is quite large (even has a private bathroom for your guests), has retractable TV screens if needed, and you can play your own music. The food & drinks were exactly what was needed. Service was top notch. Can’t draw it up much better.

Went there last night and it's incredible how at home I felt, the bartender was on point, very nice and had everything under control like a boss, I can't explain the vibe you just have to come by and experience it yourself. I have a new fav spot in Williamsburg.

Cozy Irish Pub. Very friendly and welcoming. Came by to relax after a long day, the seating is very comfortable and the atmosphere very relaxed, enjoyed a glass of wine while watching the US Open.

Second time coming to The Craic. I went to see the Euro match between Spain and France with some friends and we had a great time. Expected more people as the previous time I went they hosted the CL final, and the atmosphere then was great with loads of people. Will definitely be going again!

The Craic is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a great atmosphere. The outdoor area is equally impressive, providing a comfortable and inviting space for guests to relax and enjoy their drinks. I highly recommend trying the Irish lager, which is a standout among the many great options on tap. Overall, The Craic is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a lively and enjoyable pub experience.

Indoor atmosphere was dark and cozy, great for a drink in a more intimate setting. Outdoor seating was also really cute. Not so fun in the summer because of flies and mosquitoes. We got the lavender smash and it was just a tad bit too sweet. Drinks are suuuuper cheap. I’d come back or stop here if I’m in the area definitely.

Andy and Gerrard are the best for drinking the fun. If you wanna come to Brooklyn and do the fun this is the place. It's a perfect place for a party and having a good real drink. It's not like a normal bar they offer great drinks.

We booked directly with the venue, but I strongly recommend booking through PeerSpace instead. We were charged the same rate yet received an hour less than what’s listed on PeerSpace. The customer service was disappointing. The bartender was openly rude to several guests, and multiple people commented on her attitude. When the clock hit midnight, she began clearing tables and blowing out candles while people were still seated, extremely unprofessional behavior. The manager appeared unwilling or unable to step in, allowing it to continue. Throughout the night, bar patrons repeatedly entered our private space, and no one from the staff attempted to manage it. For the price, I expected far better communication, professionalism, and respect for a private booking. I understand the venue is new, but these are basic hospitality standards that should be addressed immediately. Bartender Stacey should have stayed home!

Great atmosphere with good drinks. If you try to call they won’t answer. I had forgotten to close my tab after purchasing 2 drinks the other night. When I came back the following morning after trying to call and have them hold the card with no answer, I was told the card was not there. Not sure how it was misplaced less than 24 hours later - or if it was given to someone else accidentally. I shouldn’t have left my card, so that’s on me, but they need to get more organized if they’re going to hold onto cards when customers open tabs.

I am unsure what to understand of this place. The interior decoration is very nice and very open inviting atmosphere. But the drinks are expensive and honestly not strong; it felt like I was drinking cucumber water. The place is very clean and the bartender we had was on point!
