Gold Star Beer Counter — Restaurant in New York

I'm very picky about beer and I love this place. They have a rotating list of taps, the friendly staff will let you taste a draft before you buy. The printed beer list has descriptions. I love that they have foreign as well as domestic beers, especially Belgian and German beers. The list is mostly American Craft but there are always 2 or more imports. They take chances too with smoked beers and barrel aged. While other places may serve only IPAs and sours, you can get those at Gold Star but also a Fantome! The outdoor beer window that sells 32 and 64 oz growlers is great too, you can.pick up a growler while walking your dog.

There are a couple of sandwiches on the menu, both delicious. They are always nice.

I have never purchased cans or bottles here either to stay or go. I would be careful about buying cans and bottles here. I see them displayed warm and that's not good for most beer. Maybe check and see if hey also have cold beer for sale. Perhaps the ones left out are only for display. That would make sense since  this is an excellent beer bar.

The interior is pretty as well, it would be a good place to impress someone who likes decor. There is a lot of wood but it's still...

A short macho-presenting bartender just yelled in my face when I went to the window to enquire what cider he recommend me last time. “How should I know what you ordered last time!?” came off super rude and made me want to just walk off. I gave 3 stars since the first time I went there with a friend was all right, mostly because my buddy was there, the cider was crisp, and inside there was comfortable lighting. I will avoid even passing by this dive in the future.

If he had allowed me to describe the label/flavor and that it came in a wine bottle before speaking to me harshly & rushing off to go back to the other bar guests, maybe we could have come to an answer. I’ll go try to find it at a wine shop and invite friends to my place where I can create a better atmosphere.

As if I didn’t need another reason to move out of this pitiful neighborhood, now I have another one. Most people in Prospect Heights/Park Slope are the sort of miserable upper-middle-class that’ll leave you drained of enthusiasm for life if you stay too long. I see why a bartenders here would be snobby as well, considering the...

Overall rating: 4.8

Super cute spot near the Brooklyn museum. I already knew it was going to be a great place just by the other reviews, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to be snooty or anything. Super chill, but very popular! My friend and I got lucky and got seats at the bar, but I could totally come here solo which is why I like it a lot!

Beer is crafted and good. It’s a tad bit bright but looks like people come to work, read a book or hang. The staff was really nice and I like how simple the menu is. I don’t think I’d eat any snacks here, but I can try it out when I come back.

Such a good find &...
