Covenhoven — Restaurant in New York

One of the best beer bars in Brooklyn​. It's cozy inside, but they have a nice backyard with a patio, planters and grass with tables. There is a small front porch with a couple of benches as well and people bring their dogs and have a beer out front.

Besides the excellent rotating 16 taps, featuring the best local and U.S. breweries, they have an extensive slection of bottles and cans to stay or to go. All the beer is stored cold and flies out of the coolers so you can be sure it's fresh. The selection is well curated.

On top of that the staff and customers are friendly and cool. It's a nice neighborhood spot even if you were not that into beer! You can always get cider here, I know they have some wine but it focuses on beer.

The grilled cheese sandwiches are pretty good too. Your guests will be impressed if you bring them here it is a five star beer place and a five star...

Massive....extensive beer options. Ever revolving, seasonal beers and cider on tap, and the wall opposite the register is covered in refrigerators filled with seemingly countless bottles and cans of all sorts of new-to-me brands of beer.

As a beer neophyte, I rely on the expertise of the staff to steer me in the right direction. I described what I was in the mood for and they picked exactly what I was looking for on their first recommended pick (they graciously supply sample-pours).

Cute bar-like menu, and inexpensive chips and snacks for sale as well. I also noticed that one of the fridges had charcuterie and fromage for sale.

Overall very chill spot, cool staff, and a charming backyard garden seating area. Would come...

**Update- The owners reached out to me to get more feedback about my negative experience. They have since hired a female bartender (the all male staff was the subject of my rude review). Glad they took my bad experience to heart and made effort to mitigate

The staff here is insanely rude. I get it, you're into beer, but so am I other wise I wouldn't be in a beer bar.That doesn't give you the right to completely ignore me, then when you finally decide to take someone's order after talking to your friends, be snarky to me. The selection is fine, but I DO NOT like the vibe here at all. There are plenty of places with great beer that don't belittle their customers and aren't extremely rude....
