We were in the area & this place was one of our stops, we came & sat right in the front area by the door.
Drinks we tried a few different beers they were good, decent selection. A nice summer ale is always a good choice since they tend to be on the lighter side, although the different flavors & ciders can also be very good.
Cool vide here, nice music & atmosphere we enjoyed our drinks & time.Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 3Oh no 0 - Brian K.Melville, NY06Apr 18, 2023

Amazing spot! The vibe was on point, the prices are solid, and the drinks... amazing!
Three of us were walking by and came on a whim. We asked Ty to make us a surprise. He asked a few questions and made up two drinks on the spot and recommended a beer. He was 3 for 3!
Makes me wish I lived in the area because this kind of bar is very hard to find.
PS I only had one sip so far, so this review is issued with a 95% sound mind...Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marisha C.Lower East Side, Manhattan, NY2913346Feb 11, 2023
Cozy, fun neighborhood bar with lots of great beer and cocktail options. My coworkers came here for drinks and enjoyed the chill atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely come back especially when the weather warms up to sit in the big backyard area.

Love love love this neighborhood bar. The coziest ambience, our go to spot to stop for drinks on the way to Prospect Park in the summertime. The backyard is so peaceful and quiet for reading or catching up with a friend. And at night - the joint gets poppin. Dark moody lighting and really intimate vibes. And they make a mean Aperol spritz

My favorite bar on Franklin Ave from when I lived nearby. The Crown Inn is long, dark, and has a great vibe. There's a bouncer at peak times but they've always been friendly. The space is narrow with the bar itself dominating the space, however there's a bit of room up front and in the back to chill. Music is loud but not overwhelming.
Beer list is very good for a dive bar. Nothing crazy mind you--this isn't a true beer bar--however if you're big into craft beer there will be some legit options. Crowd is a good mix reflecting the neighborhood, perhaps with less hipster types (a big plus). Bartenders are friendly, mixed drinks have been good the few times I've gotten them, and prices are reasonable. Definitely a worthwhile late night spot even if it isn't going to rock your world--sometimes that's all you need.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Nia S.Brooklyn, NY19420760Jun 6, 2022
5 stars for the drink and bartender but 1 star for the owners unsanitary dog in the bar, behind the bar! Listen dog lovers...I love dogs, but around food and drinks and no consideration for other is getting out of control. I am allergic to dogs and can manage if I take a benadryl but I don't expect a huge furry long hair dog to be in a bar at 11pm at night. It would have been nice to have been warned or given a choice before ordering...the dog was a nasty surprise behind the bar that made me ill!
