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!

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!

Back room was cool - really liked the design of the whole place. Since the place is lower than street level, the light comes in and sets a great mood.

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!

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

Awesome bar! Love the energy. Beautiful space. Good vibes 😎 Came in looking for a place that had a good sour or something like that and this place listed as carrying rotating sours, and they carry rotating talea sours. Had a nice soup, service was awesome and stellar happy hour. They also have food happy hours too! Highly recommend

We had our 90 person birthday party there and everyone loved the venue and have been talking about it a ton! It was wonderful to have that entire (super cute) space, own bar and bathroom, and the drinks were delicious. And the entire event process was seamless so I appreciate that.

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.

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!

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!

Bouncers became physically agressive with my friends at last call, man-handling them and pushing them out the door while they were actively calling their uber and clearly getting ready to leave. Other patrons remained inside while also waiting for their rides, since it was cold. My friends were, for some reason, targeted by the bouncer(s) even though they were acting normally. All attempts to contact management have been futile and owner failed to show up to a scheduled convo to discuss the incident. Be careful here.

The management had coordinated with my sister, to reserve a space for 40 following her wedding. It was a Saturday night in BK, and was busy, which totally isn’t a problem for us. But they took the reservation, and assured us that they could handle our party.. We arrived, found that there was no space. When we asked about it the manager pointed to a booth in the back where a birthday party was set up for someone. They decorations and everything. Pretty crappy feeling ngl. On top of that, they were rude to members of my family and unapologetic to my sister on her wedding day for a mistake they made. It’s totally okay if an establishment does not have the desire nor the ability to handle a party of that size on a weekend. But don’t tell a bride that you can do handle it and then treat her with indifference and disrespect when she shows up and finds yall didn’t do anything but waster her time. It’s unprofessional. “No” is a very easy word to say and it would have been better to hear it weeks ago than it was to experience it first hand with family friends and loved ones. It was embarrassing and confusing for my family. And I hope this place chooses to treat people with more respect in the future. Also: Happy to post receipts if the owners get pissed by this review.
