I was in a state... But had a positive experience here. Its small but feels comfortable as opposed to claustrophobic. I thought the patrons were great. Friendly vibe all around where you can settle in for a few pints of Old Speckled Hen and relax. Very local spot, but I wouldnt call it a dive. Its a public house. I was there for the footy. World Cup. Packed in, it was great.
Its a calm place for those that found their way onto Ditmas Park the crowd a bit older or rather Mature. They should have night shows or stand-up where the Tv is on the wall.
Great drinks, Great Bartender and owner. Great views, epic views and Great fam and friends. Just f-ing grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!
A bar where you catch soccer games and its better than bar chord
In the absolute absence and presence of the infinite ♾ void. You must take in a breath exhale and take a shot.
They could benefit from carrying different types of white wines... and also bigger portions. 1/6th of a 10$ bottle of wine (which the bar probably got cheaper by ordering in bulk) for $10 + tip is kinda ridiculous. It can also get too crowded sometimes....
I was unsure of the place when I first walked in. The bartender kinda gave me the fifth degree as to why I was there but it was bc of my sweatshirt and we became friends very quickly.As usual being a female alone in a bar I got the usual attention from guys sitting next to me but they were rude and didnt buy me any drinks, they were more interested in the rugby game on.I ordered a fireball and ginger ale, which was watered down and a fireball shot which was warm. But after a few drinks I expected a huge tab.2 fireball shots (warm)2 fireball/ginger ale1 double fireball/ginger ale1 Guinness (tasted watered down)Total bill - $35I would go here again but next time ask they ice the fireball shots and make my drinks a double so it doesnt taste like water and maybe send back the Guinness.
Place is great, my problem is with the bartender. The fact that she is incredibly contentious and always piss drunk after 9pm doesnt even bother me so much as the fact that she is a THIEF. If you leave something at the bar, she will go through it and take what she wants and make you bargain to get things back. Will never be going back here so long as this horrible, disgusting rat of a human works there.
Great place for soccer. Cozy atmosphere. Empañadas on Monday. Otherwise chips. Whiskey Wednesdays means top shelf scotch for $7 2 ounce pours. Bartenders have/are characters.
DONT GO HERE IF YOU LIKE AMERICAN FOOTBALL. My husband and I were literally accosted by bar regulars who find American football to be reprehensible. Literally, things were thrown at us (and were not obnoxious people). Go to Bar 776, Ox Tavern, Bar Chord, Lea, or even Sycamore. All will be more welcoming!
This is a place where you give 5 stars for being exactly what it suppose to be, an Irish pub with the same soccer match on 5 TVs. Small place with a bartender/owner (my guess) that seems genuine. Only thing to note, No Guinness on tap. He went for Oharas Irish Stout priced very reasonably and quite smooth.
This is everything you would expect of a neighborhood bar in Brooklyn: seats, drinks, a bar, a TV, and if they dont know you already, they soon will. On the small side, so cozy and intimate. The unisex restroom is covered with old Playboy covers of centerfolds who are now probably in retirement homes.
Such a shame. Potential for great bar but regulars are so rude they harass people who watch pro football. This bar is intentionally half empty all the time. Not welcoming to new people AT ALL.
One girl was in tears earlier today and the bartender really took care of her to make sure she was OK. This isn’t my regular watering hole and I don’t write reviews but I just want to give a shout out to the bartender who was working tonight. Sorry I didn’t get your name.
This place is a gem. The bartender Soren really cares about the community and the people. When we had a community disaster (fire that closed off our building), Soren and the Highbury stepped up. A very personal thank you to you!
Lovely people! came her in 2015, im orginally from Highbury and am a Gooner. Sat and talked and listened to many a great stories of coming to USA and shows and bands and great concerts. Fantastic decor in the ladies bathroom. Really great guys. thanks (even though a little late) xxx
Cozy bar, great staff. Opens early for soccer matches. Low key but fun vibe that attracts a very diverse crowd.
Good little soccer bar nice bartender def a mens bar but we didnt feel out of place, will be back for other games only negative is no happy hour was a bit over priced for a Wednesday 3pm type of thing would be nice if they had like 2 dollar or even dollar off a drink.
A great place to just chill. They allow you to bring in outside food, so pick up some tacos or a slice and come enjoy a beer. Good local crowd.
Good prices and service. I take one star off for last time I was there. The bartender offered us drinks on her before closing the tab (tab was pretty large) then charged us for it! Not classy!
Bad place
Wonderful place. Delicious beers, great bartenders. Paradise for anyone looking for a rock solid local pub.
Cool place, the bartender was awesome! He provided great service. Just wish the drinks were stronger.
Good people, good vibes, overall great place.
Friendly staff, great beer
Nice place. Amazing beer.
Great beer and whiskey selection.
Local soccer bar, plays all games including early morning Euro League soccer matches. Selection of beer and licors, food menu is pot pies from DUB Pies.
Great bar.. good prices and people are cool.. just too many hipsters.... sorry they suck
A true pub. Plenty of TVs and a good selection of beers on tap.
I got the beer on Wednesdays just to hear that stupid French bartender yell at people in her adorable French accent thats so discasting i dont know whom hire here for that jobe thats the biggest mistake any body can make ...to hire such of animal to work there ....
Excellent local pub for a chill drink and perhaps watching the game. No frills, casual bartenders.
Tiny for the crowds it gathers. Lots of characters of questionable social responsibility. Especially during the FC Barcelona games.
Amazing spot for chilling after a long work day. Sports energy is a plus. Staff is kind and friendly.
Local pub down to earth
Great bartenders, great crowd! A cold beer or a smooth cocktail and always a great conversation.
Thanks for the emotions in the final of the Champions League.
This place is local and fun and easy. Great place to get a Jameson and a pint.
Fun times, cute boys, emptier than other bars so pretty chill
The german beer is the best. The atmosphere is nice. Just the right amount of people
Great for watching sports and the bartender was so cool. Will go back just to chill.
Brilliant place, ace bartenders, and a top class choice of beers.
I go on Whiskey Wednesdays just to hear the cordial French bartender yell at people in her adorable French accent.
Chill neighborhood bar. Best stout beer on tap!
Polite and friendly service great beer and scotch selection
Didnt have exactly what we were looking for but still good tasting STRONG drinks.
Great place to have beer, eat some pie, and watch a football game.
Meh, its a bar, pricey, small, skip it n go down the street unless youre desperate
Quick service. Awesome bathroom. Bad ass Bartenders.
Always a good time! Go when Shawn is mixing- the actual bomb DIGGITY
This is a solid neighborhood option usually full of locals. If youre into football (European), this is a good choice.
Cool place to watch the football. Good stout.
Quaint neighborhood corner bar. Friendly bartender and patrons.

2022-03-18What can I say, this is the local spot for a drink. You’ll meet your neighbors maybe learn more about them than you want. But in the end of the day it’s a community and the bartenders are always friendly and know how to make a drink. Also if you’re into soccer this is your spot they play all the big leagues on TV.

2022-03-03My local arsenal bar! Very laid back and friendly. People are just as willing to have a conversation as leave you alone. Never seen it over crowded for a game, but I dont really go in the evenings.

2021-11-19I went in here with a friend for a drink later in the evening and it was one of the only bars still open in the area. The bartenders were very nice and quick, the crowd was eclectic but very nice and they had a jazz band playing that was lively and got the crowd going. I had a specialty rum cocktail, something fruity and beachy, and it was very good and very reasonably priced for NY. I am from NJ and am not in BK often but if I were in the area I would go back again.

2018-02-15Come for the UK feel, stay for the great beer selection and quirky/saucy bathroom.I love that the car is wheelchair accessible with a wide bathroom to boot, however, I didnt stay long because of my personal preference for stools with a back.The beer selection was great and the bartender was friendly on a Sunday afternoon. I havent been for a soccer, football or rugby match but would return.

2019-10-23I discounted Highbury initially because it was so crowded during the peak hours, but it’s actually becoming one of my favorites.Hat tip to bartender Kevin — who’s super friendly, very hospitable, and keeps a good eye out for the place.Recommendation: I suggest maybe a bigger wine menu (they only had one type of white wine yesterday). Understandable given that it’s a “guy” kinda place but women like to have options ya know?Also, prices are very fair!
