“ Pozes = Unexpectedly AWESOME menu that transcends common "bar food" with lots of options -- some ACTUALLY HEALTHY -- for vegetarians and carnivores. HIGHLY recommend House Blend Grill Cheese with Tomato Soup, Fried Pickles, and ALL dipping/side sauces. The drinks might be more flavorful and stronger than You expect, especially anything "innocently refreshing" during summer. Easy-to-get-to location, near the R subway station, close to buses B37 and B63, and major car services, like https://arecibocc.com/# . Also reasonably close to entertainment venues, like Littlefield, Union Hall, The Bell House, Barbes, Lucky 13 Saloon -- You could make a Slope-y-Gowanus-y date out of it, either beginning or ending at Gowanus Gardens for appetizers or dessert. Owners and most staff are friendly and ALL are accommodating, while clientele ranges from locals to tourists. Negs = Space is SMALL and can get loud, especially during cold weather Seating is not as comfortable as local competitors. Snacks are liiitttle pricey compared to local joints, like Park Slope Ale House, yet Gowanus Gardens' kitchen is open hours later than most (2 AM currently), so time factors in to cost divided by craving ;) ”
“ This is my favorite bar in Gowanus. You can count on regulars at the bar but whether it's your first visit or your 50th visit you'll be welcomed. The drafts rotate and the cocktails are good too. There are hot cocktails for the winter. The small bites are great. Get the fried pickles. They have trivia nights, Karoke, and other events so check out their site for the schedule. ”
“ Lee the bartender is fucking phenomenal. Great vibes- day time or late night. Great neighborhood spot ”
“ Wonderful service, my friends and I had a great time! Shout out to Lee the bartender! Can't wait to come back ”
“ I stopped in here and sat at the bar while waiting for a friend on Monday. I was served by Lee and requested something strong but sweet. She made me a berry margarita. It was PERFECT and exactly what I was looking for. This bar is definitely a local bar with regulars and where folks know each other and come to often. In the evening, it got super packed, which was surprising for a Monday night. They have a back outside (but enclosed) space, which was really cool and perfect for summer nights! I'll definitely be back to see Lee!! ”
“ I absolutely love this neighborhood joint. The GG Burger was delicious. It comes with pickles, lettuce, house sauce, and you get a choice of cheeses: American, house blend, or goat cheese. I went with goat cheese, and that was phenomenal. The fries it came with were the perfect texture. Very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Purple Haze was a solid drink. Service was great. I'll have to stop by again to try their other items. ”
“ A fun local bar with decent food. They have a large drinks selection for both beers and cocktails. The pepperoncini bites were interesting, the chicken wings were crispy, and the quesadilla had fresh jalapenos inside, which elevated it. The service was friendly and attentive. ”
