4th Avenue Pub

I’m here 2 to 3 times a week. This place has a great beer selection. Solid tunes. Smart crowd. Hot dudes and babes. Ralph is great?

I dropped in alone before a hockey game and was delighted to find great beers, a friendly and knowledgeable bartender (Ralph), and a great group of very welcoming locals. I was having so much fun I almost missed the beginning of the game.

The bartender was very rude. I wanted my check and just did a casual wave but he told me that he was professional and that I didn’t have to do that to get his attention. I don’t think I will ever go to this bar again.

Very confused about the high reviews. I left the bar after about only five minutes on a Thursday night due to how horrendously rude the bartender was. I wish I had caught his name to add on this review but honestly couldn’t leave fast enough. He had a thick beard, about as much about him as I want to remember.
The bar was muggy, loud, and crowded. My friend and I were attempting to close our tab and gestured for the check. The bearded bartender sees us and ignores us. We wave again for his attention and he comes straight to us aggressively shouting, «NO, DON’T DO THAT. I’m a professional. Don’t wave at me, I’m a professional.»
No sir, apparently you are not. Professionals don’t yell at their customers and throw a tantrum. We were very caught off guard by this hostility and needless to say, have zero plans on ever returning.

this was the perfect place to come before a 4pm nets game! so many choices for beers and its a very relaxed environment. thanks Jason!

Great low key bar. Great selection of beers and plenty of seats to go around.
Free popcorn to munch on while drinking! What more do you want?

4^th Avenue Pub is an excellent place for beers and good company on a Friday night near Atlantic Ave/​Barclays station. For bar of its size, they have a lot of seating — bar, booths, tables, and outdoor patio — and their craft beer selection is quite impressive. The prices are about average for NYC ($ 5 – 7), but guess what’s included — free popcorn, with salt and Old Bay to add as you wish! Excellent bar with a good vibe, making it very easy to recommend.

Great neighborhood bar, with a solid draft beer menu. The bartender/​owner? was really cool. Very chill place. Will definitely be back.

This is a great bar for happy hour. The bar itself has a lot of personality, as do the bartenders that work here. They have lots of sass. Don’t dare getting his attention during a crowded happy hour if you don’t know what you want. The guy next to me got «yelled» at. It was funny to watch.
The happy hour deal is $ 1 off all drinks, which is minimal but still a deal. The place was fairly quiet when I walked in around 6, but by 6:30 it was packed and loud and very, very busy. It quieted down a bit by 7:30 — 7:45 when much of the crowd headed over to the Barclay’s Center for the evening’s festivities.
The pub is definitely in the perfect location for a pre-​concert or pre-​sporting event drink or two. The beer selection is vast, and there’s a ton on tap. (Stay away from the wine, it wasn’t good. But I should’ve known…)
Beware: they do not serve food here, but you can bring in whatever you want or order from their big binder of delivery menus.
Plus: The free popcorn is a great bar snack and they even offer up some old bay seasoning to spice up your life. ;)

Fantastic selection. Great service and music choice. Very clean as well. Complaints from this guy.

Pros:
— Great beer selection
— Free popcorn
— Outdoor space
Cons:
— Tabletop classic video game console looks awesome but steals your quarters and the buttons work about 60%.

Oh how I love 4^th Ave Pub! More of a dive than Pacific Standard, it’s perfect for a low key and very chill night. Plenty of seating with some booths that will fit groups of 6 and an absolutely gorgeous backyard with huge picnic tables. Amazing and varied selection of craft beers on tap which frequently rotate. For example: Smuttynose, Sly Fox, Founder’s, Bell’s, Delirium, and Lagunitas with many more. There’s a huge craft bottle selection and there’s always a cask too. Free popcorn makes this place a definite win!

One of the best tap lists around. People from all walks of life can find refuge from the mania of everyday life an enjoy craft beers and free popcorn.

«Free popcorn!»
That was all my friend had to say and I was down to come here.
4^th Ave Pub is a cute bar with great outside area. Super convenient location. My cocktail was a little watered-​down but it was also a little cheaper than normal. And the popcorn got better and better with each tray!
Random fact: the bathroom is painted in chalkboard paint and there’s a tray with chalk. Maybe this isn’t the most sanitary activity, but it’s a fun idea.

I can’t really find a reason not to like this place. Great selection of beer and liquor, very nice batenders, chill vibe and of course, free popcorn… what’s not to like? If you happen to be in the area, this is a chill place to grab some brews and hang with some friends.

Great little bar with an awesome ambience. I was going to a Nets game with my lady and we were looking for a place to have a couple drinks before the game. I found this place on Unilocal and decided to check it out.
They have a great selection of craft beers, probably one of the best I’ve seen in a while. I loved the exposed brick on the wall with all the different signs and it wasn’t overly crowded, especially for a Friday night. They had a popcorn machine where you could take popcorn, but I was way too full to partake because I had just eaten dinner.
I don’t live in the area, but anytime I am, I will definitely come back to this place.

You wait your whole lifetime; you travel around the world, and you try the best bars in the best cities, and then one day the thing you’re looking for is found right in your own neighborhood.
4^th ave is as good as it gets. Like Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, the crowd is made up of locals, travelers, derelicts, cowboys, poets, and pop stars. If you can’t make conversation with a stranger here, you have social problems.
Bartenders are fun and knowledgeable and the beers are copious and rather epic.

4^th Avenue Pub is my favorite place to get free popcorn. I don’t know if I know any other place that gives free popcorn, but this is easily my favorite.
I’ve spent many of happy hours, birthday parties, bar crawls, and end of the night stops that I shouldn’t have done, at 4^th ave Pub. It’s pretty consistent.
First off you have a large selection of beer. Now, while some places have tons of options, half of them will be of the same type of beer. Not here. It’s a pretty good mix of brews, all varying in type.
I enjoy writing cryptic and odd messages on the chalk wall bathroom. My favorite is to ease drop on a neighboring conversation and then proceed to the bathroom, to write something in relation on the wall. Messing with strangers is fun. Yes, Ted is sleeping with his secretary.
The bartenders are pleasant and friendly. They know how to make basic drinks the proper way. I have to say though, I’ve never had a good share of buy backs, despite the fact I always tipped well here. Might just be their policy.
There is a good sized back yard with lots of benches and picnic tables. Get a spot early, it gets packed if the weather is nice. Note though, the sun isn’t out that much due to the angles of the buildings nearby.
Lastly, and most importantly, there is free popcorn. Whether it’s being eaten, thrown at someone, or used to plot your domination over the world, it’s free and that can not be ignored.

Cool tunes, incredible beer selection, mellow vibe (in a good way!), cozy confines & friendly service.
What’s not to love about this place? Not much.

The selection here is wonderful. Even more than a great selection is the awesome staff. Awesome guy tending, talking about music and a good heffenwizer.
Great ambiance, great beer, worth the trip.
