Brew York Reviews Summary

Beer Selection

Pros:

• "They've got more craft beer options than there are stars in the night sky."
• "The beer selection here is incredible with different flavours to suit anyone's tastes."
• "Over 40 brews on tap behind the main bar/restaurant upstairs."
• "40 lines of Brew York and collabs they have done."
• "Stupendous selection of beer, some with knock-your-head-off strengths up to 10%."
• "40 different beers of fantastic quality and range."
• "A vast selection of beers in keg and cask in just about any style you could ask for."

Cons:

• "Some of the keg prices were silly and stopped me from enjoying a few more."
• "One of these cost £5:00 for a third YES £15:00 a pint. Disgraceful."
• "The beer is, unfortunately, a bit hit and miss."
• "To say the drinks were awful would be an understatement."
• "The wine was undrinkable, we both tried it and it was a tart sour mess."
• "The rhubarb pale tasted of artificial flavourings, very chemically and sickly sweet."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Great taproom, taking social distancing seriously and presumably reduced capacity, but still a nice atmosphere."
• "Loved sitting amongst the stainless Steel brewing vessels."
• "Pleasantly surprised by the plain, yet cosy and welcoming vibe."
• "There is plenty of seating and the atmosphere was great."
• "Great beer and great setting. The music is great too and it's a good place to chill out and unwind."
• "A brilliant, massive beer hall with a great selection of beer."
• "The beer hall is large, and had a good vibe and atmosphere."

Cons:

• "Music really loud and a weird mix of good songs but also sad songs like the scientist by Coldplay which didn't really feel like the vibe for a Saturday night."
• "It always feels quite cold inside (it’s a large space so inevitable but it’s quite stark)."
• "Atmosphere is lacking and downstairs taproom is definitely on the chilly side!"
• "The ‘art’ on the walls upstairs are awful. Really dated and brings the vibe of it down."

Service

Pros:

• "The female member of bar staff that noticed the inappropriate behaviour reacted quickly."
• "Awesome job Eli. You gave me a tester without me having to ask."
• "The staff are friendly and knowledgeable."
• "Staff on the bar were very friendly and knowledgeable."
• "The staff were lovely and the service was impeccable the whole night - when we did have an issue it was solved quickly and the drinks were really nice as well :)"
• "The staff here are the beer version of sommeliers, armed with knowledge that would make textbooks jealous."
• "The staff are always very friendly and polite."

Cons:

• "We had tried to book a large area since May this year and no one ever got back to us with multiple emails and calls."
• "Definitely avoid for any large bookings or big parties and don't even bother trying to book as no one gets back to you."
• "No staff about to help with drinks or even tell you where the bar is."
• "Noone seemed to show any enthusiasm for customer service or knew anything about the beers on offer."
• "Very poor service at the bar. Only two serving on a Friday evening with a long queue."
• "Good beers, disappointingly poor customer service."
• "Place totally let down by staff."

Food

Pros:

• "The loaded fries are to die for, the perfect accompaniment for said beers."
• "Great menu of Japanese/Korean dishes and fries of excellent crispness."
• "Everything on the menu at Yuzu was super tasty."
• "The bao and fries that they serve are outstanding as well."
• "Yummy food at yuzu and lush beer."
• "The Asian street food which is within the beer hall was first class."
• "We loved the atmosphere, choice and the Korean street food."

Cons:

• "The food is really tasty, and continues the theme of pricy for bar food."
• "Food was such a let down, we waited over 45 minutes for the food to arrive."
• "The food is so easy to order with the QR code at the tables and arrived really quickly. I would say the food is average, it was more salty than flavourful."
• "The food was lukewarm and noodles chewy as though they'd been sat for a while."
• "A burger with meat so raw it looked like it was bleeding!"
• "Really great beers here but don’t visit if you have a Gluten Allergy and want food."
• "Chicken wings/strips pretty sub par."
