Harefield Road

Very good place to meet up with friends, extremely low key and unassuming. Great wood interior.

I know I'm just repeating what the other reviewers have said, but it is the best brunch deal this side of the East River. Good service, good prices on Scotch and great beer selection. It's a nice place to call a local as well as a nice place to show off the neighborhood to out-of-town visitors.

Hard to find a decent one sometimes- wrong temp, wrong glassware, wrong technique. Found it here. Slurp.

First of all, I've never known Harefield to have any specials. Second, I don't think they do phone in orders (I could be wrong on that count). Having enjoyed Harefield for many moons, what you're saying makes it sound like you've never even been in the place. To everyone else, Harefield is great, but you shouldn't need me to tell you that.

Pros: Guinnes - I hear they airlift it in from Ireland! & they serve titos vodka!

Cons: 16oz faux imperial pints

I think the person who wrote that last review was clearly sipping from the Creature itself while writing it. I've been to Harefield many times and have always found the atmosphere to be nothing short of warm, welcoming and appreciative. A terrific selection of beer and, for a pub, some decent wine offerings. Plus the space is very well configured, so it never feels crushed and crowded, and beautiful architectural details everywhere. The back garden is a lovely place to get away from it all. The bartenders seem to have great taste in music, too!

Pros: The ladies room is clean and has cool automatic paper towel dispensers!

Cons: It's a one-seater and there is often a wait

Don't expect to be treated as a regular even tho you've lived next door for 5 years. They truly are not good at this. they have a great selection of booze but but the atmosphere is extremely cold and so are the employees. You get what you get and no help even if you are in danger...not such a great neighborhood. look out for yourself even if the bartender says he has yer back. And the brunch is bad major don't even bother. If yer not waiting an hour for a table you're waiting an hour and a half for your food. Work it out they say...no comp drinks nothing...don't waste your time. Go to Legion across the street.

Pros: great selection

Cons: not so good bartenders JOHN plus super cold in there

This section of Williamsburg was in serious need of a serious bar. The woodwork is just amazing, the beer selection is quite extensive but not pretentious, the pricing on everything is very good/not expensive, the atmosphere is inviting, trendy, relaxing. Great Brooklyn beers at a working-man's price. Cute Williamsburg regulars, good bartenders. Glad its here!!

Pros: great place in this section of Williamsburg. Not too

Hands down, the best pour in Brooklyn. Unpretentious and relaxed. An excellent selection of drafts, single malts, and decent wines. On weekends, they have a fantastic brunch (be sure to try the Bloody Mary with Guinness). Nicest pub in town.

Pros: Draft and Single Malt Selection

Cons: None to speak of

Nice selection of single malts at very reasonable prices. The one thing that really annoys me about this place though is the beveled edge of the bar, you can't really lean your elbows on it in any comfortable position. Maybe it's like this on purpose? Like to keep people from falling asleep at the bar or something?

Pros: scotch

Cons: bar
