Editorial Review for Pencil Factory Pub – by Karen Hudes

In Short
Huge windows provide an impressive corner view for this neighborhood hangout, which features an oak bar, wooden floor beams and a pressed-tin ceiling, as well as a sidewalk cafe. In addition to a choice of 10 beers on draft, nine wines by the glass and nine single malts, the menu also offers a limited variety of pressed sandwiches. Greenpoint and Williamsburg residents in their 20s to 40s make up most of the crowd.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Very chill place. Old world pub. Great selection. Quite though interspersed with a nice tunes (geered towards the Greenpoint and W'burg crowd).

2 Star Rating: Below Average

OK bar to meet for a quick drink and then move on to somewhere else. that is about it. Other then the Guinness and the wanna be Irish that get sloppy drunk here- I would not consider this an Irish pub by any means. At least not a good one.

Pros: beer
