The service is amazing. The menu is not very extensive but I have tried many of the items and al of them were delicious.

One of the most Brooklyn Heights bars ever - looks like it was built in the revolution, but also features mezcal and amaro-forward cocktails. The average cocktail is $17, which unfortunately is the median price in these parts. And they're good! But the real star is the turkey leg sandwich. This thing is massive (easily feeds 2) and features shredded, juicy, well-seasoned turkey. Think of it as a turkey sloppy joe. For drinks and bites with friends, this is a solid spot.

It's ok - a little stuffy and pricey for what it is The inside is very warm, cozy and a good vibe Usually more of a sit down cocktail place vs standing room only The turkey sandwich is MASSIVE but that was really good. Otherwise, the menu is pretty limited but you can get a charcuterie board to munch on with your apps

Henry Public is a great little brunch spot! Initially we were going to have brunch elsewhere, however, the place we had in mind did not open until 2:00 p.m. we were very glad that we stumbled upon Henry Public as the food was really great! The main reason for my four star review is due to the fact that we stood at the front door of the restaurant for quite sometime prior to being greeted/sat. Here is what we had during our visit: - grilled cheese (love the sliced apples on the sandwich!) the French fries are to die for! - hamburger (my boyfriend said it was the best hamburger he has ever had) - juniper pickles (these were some of the best pickles I've tried!) Cocktails and wine are really good here, I had a dirty martini and it was made to perfection. The vibe is exactly what I was looking for and I love the antique decor. Overall the service is a little slow, but the food makes up for that. Would definitely come back to Henry Public!

This is a tasty local tavern serving a mix of classic American dishes as well as a selection of both craft and macro brews and also a good mix of cocktails. They tend to get pretty popular on the weekends and late at night as they're one of the few places in the area open late. In terms of cocktails, they have a nice mix. I most recently had the Kings County Sour for $14 which consisted of rye whiskey, lemon, sugar, egg white, and a port float. Tasty cocktail with a good mix of alcohol, sweetness, and sourness and not so overpriced especially for the area. Would recommend. I also recall having one other cocktail which I'm pretty sure was the Brooklyn Ferry what I remember being much more spirit focused and it being good as well. For food, I have had the burger (or they call it a hamburger sandwich) what has a base price of $17 with fries (or as they say French fried potatoes) without any of the extras. The extras include cheese and/or Berkshire bacon what are $2 each. I would recommend the cheese over the bacon which I find a bit overpriced for the quality. The burger is in general excellent and they don't really top it with much else or a sauce relying on the quality of the meat which is quite good. The fries are shoestring with some of them being very crispy and other ones being slightly. I guess my only complaint is that there wasn't enough ketchup for the fries but they'll replenish it as long as they're not too busy. I think of the burger here as a much better version of the nearby more eclectic Hihi Room. It might be less toppings but it's much more worth it especially if you don't want a pound of lettuce and the burger is general is just much tastier. I have also had a steak special which I believe was $30 which also came with fries and the steak (I believe skirt) was topped with some herb butter (very likely chive if I recall.) This was also good but pricey. I personally like this place. They do get a bit too crowded and the prices are a bit high but it's Cobble Hill so both are kind of expected. Will go back time and time again probably trying the turkey sandwich next time.
