Sorry, we are no longer accepting reservations for children's parties! Gatherings with small children will be asked to leave if they are deemed disruptive to other guests. //Beer Street South, the larger second location in the family, opened in the heart of Prospect Heights in February 2020. Despite the adverse timing, Beer Street South has continued in its predecessor's footsteps by serving the best, most sought after beer produced in and around New York City, along with a full bar that emphasizes locally produced spirits, wine, cider, & even sake, all of which are offered on draft as well as traditional formats.Named after a 1751 print by English artist William Hogarth to illustrate the merits of drinking beer over gin, Beer Street began in 2011 as a humble beer and tobacco shop tucked on a quiet street in Williamsburg, before converting to New York City's first locally focused beer bar known for its warm, attentive hospitality & thoughtfully curated, constantly rotating selection.

The food is amazing. I did make a reservation and they put us at a bar instead of a table. Ambience was still awesome though. We did have to ask 3x for the check which was frustrating by the end but overall will definitely go back.

First time there. Great atmosphere, super-fresh pizza, right out of oven, all fun, except that a party of pre-teens grew increasingly out of control, on this particular night, with a deafening decibel level... until a brave patron turned to the parents and ordered them to reign in their unruly children.
