Hey, the Flagship was awesome. I’m from Manhattan and happened to be on Staten Island with some friends on Saturday. Our original plans were to do some bar-hopping, cool spots to chill. Our first and only stop was the Flagship. After trying a few beers, my favorite was Van Dam, we stay. One fella (I can’t remember his name) in a Flagship shirt, welcomed us, encouraged us to stay, made some great suggestions. We really felt comfortable, and we purchased some Van Dam to go. Great spot, and we will return!
My go- to neighborhood bar.Love the blood orange IPA.I dropped by on a Monday when a few fellows were hanging around outside. Asked them when they were open so I could get fresh beer. They sold me a 6 pack on the spot, despite being closed to public.I’ve also filled up my growler here multiple times to bring some fresh NYC beer up to my folks in MA. Wish there was more of an incentive for growler fills. (Picking up cans is cheaper)
I can’t say enough about this place!! I had my daughter’s bridal shower there yesterday! I was so happy with the way everything turned out!! Everyone had such a great time! Tricia the event planner was so helpful. For over a year she has been helping me plan. She even helped me find things at cost on line! She responded to every question immediately. She went above and beyond! Thank you Tricia and Flagship for helping me throw the bridal shower for my daughter that dreamed of!
Fantastic establishment with high quality products and wonderful service. The management here is wonderfully friendly and has looked out for me a great deal and at one point I had my wallet stolen from me, and whoever stole my wallet then went to this establishment to drink. They then accidentally left my wallet on the bar, and the manager here actually waited for me well past closing to hand me my wallet directly and personally. Something I will never forget. 5 stars
Decided to finally check them out after saying for the longest time I would. Finally got that push when they announced the Ralph’s Hard Seltzer and everyone went crazy. I took that as my opportunity to check them out. They have some great beer options, lots of outdoor seating (even indoors when they can have us inside). Prices are def cheap too. I’m hooked! The employees working are also extremely sweet and informative. Definitely will continue coming back here!
The beer here is pretty good, but the atmosphere is AMAZING.Big ole stage for live music. And theres a ton of room to feel comfortable and hang out. The guys working the taps are great and friendly and happy to chat with you about beer.I hope that they start getting a little more daring with their brews at some point, but they are still young, so they definitely have time to evolve!
Beer here was good, nothing too imaginative in terms of selection. Just mainly your standard APA, IPA, and Kolsch on tap. But what is on tap is good, none of the beers I had tasted off, they were all crafted well. The service is a little strange because there’s no line for beer so people cut in front of people waiting all the time. Fun games are available to borrow. Cool place to drink with friends!
Great taproom with a view on the brewery through a big glass window. You can get all of their beer on tap or a sampler with all four if them. They brew ales and I liked their pale ale and dark mild ale which has a nice coffee flavor. People who work here are great and friendly. They do tours of a brewery as well if you want to go behind the scenes. Its a great place to come with bigger crowd for some beer tasting. There are some drinking games for use to make the atmosphere even better.
I really like flagship and always had a good experience except for today. One particular employee who gave me and my friends an attitude for no reason. He told us that we could leave if there was an issue for not following cdc protocol which we were doing. It was very unprofessional and rude, we did not appreciate the way he acted.
I went here recently with 29 friends. I felt it was very barren. There were no decorations. I expected to see beer motifs but there were none. Even though we had a reservation, the Flagship Brewing Company was not ready for us. We stood in a long line for beers. There was no booklet explaining the different beers. I decided to get a sampler, as I never tried any of these beers. The brewery ran out of glasses, so the beer was served in plastic cups but it was very good. There was no after taste or bloating from the beer. It was very smooth. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. Although the brewery was understaffed. There is no food service, only vending machines. I would put a hot dog stand and/or soft pretzel stand inside the large sparsely furnished room. Another good idea would be a stand with barrels of beer. The beer could be served on tap from the barrels. In its present state, I would only go if I was in the neighborhood.
I visited with a group of 30+ people on a Saturday afternoon, enjoying a sampler and then taking a tour with the very knowledgeable and passionate head brewer, Pat. I sampled four beers, two darks, one lager and my favorite, the American Wit.Restrooms are large and clean. Seating is available at picnic tables or a few highboys and games are available for in-tap room use.Menus are at each seating area as no food is served, just a vending machine with a few snacks. This seems to work for other breweries, but given the location, Id love if they had some food on site or even a local food truck posted outdoors.
Who knew Staten Island had its own brewery? The brewery itself is a decently sized and the offer flights of 4 beer tasting for around $8 [or one ticket]. They also offer ample seating, parking space, and games! Because being drunk makes board games a lot more fun. The brewmasters were also very generous and gave a well informative tour of the brewery [full disclosure, it was a bit boring but a lot more fun drunk ;)]. My only qualm is they do not offer any food options but they do have take out menus from nearby spots and two vending machines [FYI Snickers and beer, not a good mix]. If you like small independent breweries, its worth the trip as it is right by the ferry after a 15 - 20 minute walk or take the S51 and get off by the park [around 3 or 4 stops] and walk for like 5 minutes. And, also pick some of their swag, yes, they are a bit overpriced but you made the trip to the Forgotten Borough, you need to get a memento other than a hangover.
The Flagship Brewery supplied their quality micro brews at a Local Event party in September that I was lucky enough to attend. I loved their darker amber beer. You will not be disappointed, go and try them out at there brewery located on 40 Minthorne St, New York, NY 10301.
The beers here tend to be strongly accented on one dimension, so you will either love or hate them, but if you go for a flight youll definitely find something you like. The best part is the tours, which give a pretty in-depth look at the brewing process, and the head brewmaster is pretty funny and down to earth too. Its not too far from the ferry terminal so if you need to kill some time before NYCs finest free boat cruise, stop by!
Amazing beer, amazing brewery. Oder a flight and take the tour. The brew master who administered the tour for us was charming, informative and funny. If you have any interest in craft brewing or you ever wanted to know how beer is made, its well worth your time.The space is open and full of picnic tables. Theres a nice supply of games (e.g. Jenga) to play while you try the beer.I finally have an excuse to come to Staten Island.
Staten Islands first brewery has a bit of cache to it, but the beer is average. The tasting room is big and somewhat barren, though I imagine they will add to it in time. The lack of food service and non-alcoholic beverages beyond a vending machine is a bummer. There is potential, though it isnt worth the hike in its current state.
Very good home-brewed beer, also a Kölsch is included, as well as craft beer. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available. The prices are cheap, the menu looks promising. We felt very comfortable there, there are even games for children. Service was fast and friendly. We recommend!

2019-10-31This great Brewery has ample seating and less than 10 minutes away from the ferry. When you walk into the joint, there’s definitely an awesome brewery aroma. The beer selection is decent with different styles beers. A nice stop to grab a cold one after taking the ferry across to see the Statue of Liberty.
