Great local spot for a late night beer. Great vibe with locals and their dogs.

Really nice dive bar with a good selection of beers and a chilled vibe.. Try the other half IPA!

Great local bar offering good craft beer and friendly staff. One of my regular spots.

Two drink minimum if you use credit cards! Also cocktails are delicious.

Lovely neighborhood bar with friendly staff and a rotating beer list

Great place for having a couple of drinks with friends. Mostly crowded on Friday and Saturday nights

Great place. Relaxed vibe. Kelly is one of the best bartenders in Brooklyn.

A low-key great vibe up in here. I always enjoyed myself whenever I came here. Go to GB!!!

Been coming here for years... quaint with good cocktails

Great beer selection. Cozy bar, pleasant staff.

Burritos were decent. Drinks were good. Good place to chill and talk.

Great local craft beer, great vibes, great music, great company. And pinball!

Good vibe! Nice menu! Adorable price

Great host he is!!! And a best place to new friends!

Great place to spent your time. Even if you don't know who Quint is :)

Great selection of drinks and nice bartender

Great cocktails and craft beer selection

good beer selection and great bartender

I love "Baldy" - excellent place to get wasted. The bartenders are always nice, they frequently do a great beer and shot special, and the location brings people together (it's on that CH / BS border).

The best vibe out of all bars in the area. The rotating selection of top notch beers combined with the friendly bartenders makes for a great experience. But also, pinball machines.

Love this place. Great craft beers. Friendly bartenders if you can sit at the bar and chat. 2 pinball machines in the back.

I don't know what the other days are like but I usually come here on Sundays and everybody is always super friendly, I see familiar faces and the music is so chill and relaxing - perfect Soul Sunday chill spot!

I come for the great beer selection, but their cocktails are amazing too. Has a great crowd of interesting people as well

Grand drinks and atmosphere. Very chill for a date or to hang with friends. They have a pinball machine and good music.

I am lucky to have this as a local bar close by.Always have some good beer selection,and happy staff managing this place.I had some long night here.Always had great time.

Best local bar in the 'good. Great space, great drinks and beer selection, never too crowded.

One of my favorite bars in BK. Great vibes, good service and killer cocktails.

Great atmosphere. Craft beer didn't know anything on the menu but was still good.

My favorite local watering hole with 2 pinball machines at the back. Where else you can get a very descent Negroni for 8 bucks ?

Awesome bar. One of my favorites. Great whiskey, beer, cocktails and bartenders

Love this little bar. Top beer selection, nice staff, pinball, and cozy.

Fun neighborhood bar, constantly rotating beer selection. It's a good place to hang out at.

Lovely little place for a beer, glass of wine, or cocktail. Great beer menu, with several IPA choices as well as pilsners and other rich flavors. Cocktails are unique and done well. Nice intimate interior, with bright spots and dark corners. Friendly bartenders and several regulars, along with new faces every time. Clean, together, casual, and lively. Close to other things.

I was in the area looking to kill some time between meetings. Why not have a glass of Riesling while waiting 😉. It was late Thursday afternoon. Sitting in this bar felt like sitting in a comfy livingroom. Simple inviting decor, nice selection of beer and wine. The bartender was cool. If I lived in the area this would be my Cheers bar.

Great rotating beer selection! The knowledgeable bartenders and ever-changing taps, make a visit to Glorietta Baldy informative and delicious.

Been one of my favorite neighborhood spots for a while. Under current circumstances their setup is good as they have a completely open facade and a covered veranda. Always great cocktails and beer selection, a nice place to just hang out casually. All the bartenders are massive sweethearts as well.

Love this place. They have a great beer selection. It's dark, cozy and warm, there were some dogs, one had a funny outfit on, the music was deep cuts from the late 60's/ early 70's. It's also right by the subway A/C and Shuttle.

I was impressed with this place. Helpful, friendly bartenders; nice ambiance, not crowded even on a Saturday night. Busy, but not too loud to talk. Drinks were reasonably priced as well. Worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. Also has a screen in the back for sports.

The bartender, George, was phenomenal. The bar was swamped with a wedding party on a Saturday night yet he was still extremely attentive and positive. Impressed would be an understatement, give this guy a raise!

Cozy bar with good neighborhood vibes. Great bartenders and a nice layout.

Solid beer selection

Great drinks. Not packed

Mellow

cute place, no frills

Omg! Tranquility mixed with sports bar! Yay! Beer+shot! Bring your own food if you must!

Great pinball. Good beer selection. Friendly staff.

It’s a bar with a good beer selection. A step up from a dive bar, but still homey

Great beers and environment, bartender not that friendly.

Decent prices and drinks. Nice staff.

Great spot for a stop on the C during happy hour!

Sometimes it's a heavy metal bar, sometimes it isn't. Best to avoid when it is.

Good craft beers and trivia from the Beerded Ladies

Great beer selection, but I'd love a little more elbow space and maybe some food offerings during the day. I know they do pop-up's I just never get to them. Keep on rocking with the pinball, though!

Good beer selection. But as I was waiting in line, the bartender spent a whole bunch of time making some mixed drink, checking the recipe, looking for ingredients, etc when there was a queue of people just wanting a quick pour of some draft beer.

Good food. Nice atmosphere I watched the NBA Finals here. The beer selection is a bit stale, the same beers. More micro brews needed.

A small venue, with a really good sound system. I didn't purchase anything at the bar so can't tell the prices, but they have a great selection

Good bar. Good beer selection. Friendly bartenders. What more could you ask for?

Quite good beer selection and cool drinks. The ambiance is great, and there are pinball machines!

Hard to hope for a better neighborhood bar. Close quarters but not tight, great menu of fun cocktails and top notch local beer at a very solid price, people happy to see you there. Fun crowd, there will be plenty of people there at 1:00 even on a Monday night. Music is good, the vibe is relaxed, feels like a dark living room/game room in a house.

Such a great place. It's a well constructed, 'just above a dive bar' ... Except with a very thoughtful cocktail and wine program. The 123 Repeater and Mountain Top both hold their own, even for a cocktail purist who started with a (very well done) negroni. I was impressed at every point... I didn't get a chance to try the Star Trek pinball machine, but that was more my fault than theirs.

One of the, very few, quality cocktail bars in Bed Stuy. They also have a quality rotation of craft beer on draft and in can/bottles. It has dark lighting and a very relaxed vibe. Great place to get a drink and actually have a conversion with someone. No TVs, loud music or flashing lights. Just a great neighborhood bar.

Small and out of the way.

This is a pretty good bar, nothing more, nothing less. Pinball machines in the back.

My neighborhood bar in Bed-Stuy/Clinton Hill. My favorite time to go is off hours, as it can get crowded and raucous on weekends. Out of all the craft beer bars owned by this group (Mission Dolores, BGH, etc) they offer the least interesting beers. Mostly lagers and IPAs, not too many saisons, sours, stouts, or funky stuff. The prices are average for a craft beer bar in Brooklyn. They do have a cocktail list but it's simple and minimal. They're known for their beer list.

This place is fine to come too if you commute to the Franklin subway stop after work. Good drinks but they're a little expensive.

We enjoyed one round of drinks here. I did find it interesting that staff did not come to the tables to take your order but you had to go out to the bar. To order, to pick up your drink etc. Decent selection of beer and full bar.

Great local spot for beer in a dim cozy bar. Edit 2024: the place is still ok but the bartenders seem to have a bad attitude, almost like you're bothering them. Then there are dogs in the bar. I've been barked at and so have others. Weird how that's ok to let happen.

Ok for beers; cocktails, not so much. Service is dependent on how the bartenders are feeling and they seem to play favourites with particular customers. Cool vibe, but really nothing special in terms of a typical Brooklyn bar.

Easily the worst bartender in the neighborhood.

Let me preface this with - I am a local and regular who likes this bar in general, but my experience with one bartender has tainted my experience so much that I cannot go back. The bartender tonight (who is typically there on the weekends) was really aggressive and I’ve observed this bartender being aggressive often towards patrons. In addition to a generally hostile attitude and rude demeanor (at least towards women) I’ve also seen him literally chase down the block a homeless man who took a beer off the counter.

I came by at 12:40am for a drink. The place says it closes at 2am on google. The bartender told me last call had happened but I could still order beer or shots. I ordered 1 and then another and he said no- the other people here who I’m still serving are close personal friends or they work here. He was insanely quiet and mumbly so it was pretty hard to understand what was going on in there.

One star for the bartender!

The service is terrible. The bartender didn't even acknowledge us. We've been sitting here for over an hour and he hasn't even said a word to us.

Horrible place, racist manager. Once entered this spot at 2 am hoping to use the bathroom. After being told that only customers were allowed to use the bathroom I offered to buy drinks for a few patrons since I was not interested in drinking. The manager told me it was too late and that I must leave immediately. She then proceeded to speed dial a police squad which came and physically dragged me and a friend who was visiting out of town from the place without any provocation. The officers thought it well also to show me their sidearms as if to threaten me and only calm down when I told them that my friend and I were both educators and that was no way to treat civil servants. This establishment in my opinion should be closed and everyone on staff required human treatment training.

We had a terrible experience this evening—their staff let an extremely inappropriate situation with a patron go on because they knew the individual. I felt unsafe and expressed my concerns to the staff and they chose not to rectify the situation. Please be aware when visiting this establishment.

Vehemently, no happy hour. I actually came here because of a previous review stating happy hour. Scratch that! Drink wasn’t as good as it sounds and I think the lime is a little old. Location also largely lacks melanated humans.

I would give zero stars if possible. Went to the bar on a Sunday night (10/22). Spencer, our bartender, was extremely rude. He took our order, then mid-mix decided to take and fill another order (which included both beer and cocktail). When asked about whether or not he was completing our order, he just said "yep" and continued making the other orders. Once we'd begun drinking our drinks, he then came to our table requesting our signed receipt (the card had already been charged but not yet signed). We decided not to tip Bc of his rudeness. He then, upon seeing no tip, came back to our table, said that he would go ahead and void the charge, snatched out drinks and dumped them out. Before leaving, my boyfriend asked the bartender for an explanation. He claimed that it was bartender etiquette to fill another order, but when asked about the cocktail he responded to the tune of "I run my bar how I want to." I waited a couple of days to post this because I wanted to see whether or not the charge was actually voided. Turns out it wasn't, and I was charged for drinks that the bar tender dumped out. Needless to say, I would not recommend nor return to this bar.
