    Shuffleboard + Juicy Lucy + Cheese Curds + Spicy Pickles + Chicken Fingers + Amazing Beer + Cheap Prices + Friendly Staff + Friendly Crowd = Fantastic Time. Now say all that three times in a row fast.

    One of my fave bars in the area. Great vibe, excellent drinks, shuffleboard, and CHEESE CURDS. And wait for it... they have pretty great beer + shot specials.

    My favorite neighborhood bar to have a negroni. Chill vibe, sometimes busy. Typical bar food & a great patio for when summer comes back.

    Probably one of the best happy hour deals around (burger, fries, & 'gansett tallboy for $10). But just a heads-up that it's a regular cheeseburger and not their Juicy Lucy on the menu!

    If you told me yesterday that I would actually like taking a shot of pickle juice, I would say that you were crazy. Today, thanks to burnside, I know it's awesome. Try the $5 powers + pickleback.

    Cocktails be delicious. Very cool vibe. Good liquor selection. Don't be fooled - not a dive bar, but manages to feel like one while also feeling slightly upscale and laid back at the same time

    I thought the juicy Lucy was the jam. And then I had the BLT. BLT to end all BLTs.

    Can't really go wrong with anything. Burger, fries, BLT, and cheese curds were all solid. Cozy back patio, and shuffleboard. Good layout in general.

    One of the shot specials is a Powers pickleback. Powers whiskey shot + Brooklyn Brine pickle juice chaser. One of the best picklebacks I've had in the area.

    Cocktails. Fried cheese curds. Juicy Lucy. Bartenders are all cool dudes and dames. Come early and stay late.

    A state fair-inspired menu right here in Brooklyn. Splurge on the onion-dip-and-cheese tater tot casserole called the "Hot Dish" and down them with midwestern brews. Read more

    Everything about the Burnside, from atmosphere to draft list, is The Very Awesome. But I echo all sentiments stating the two sacred words: cheese curds!

    Cute, nice on-tap list, cheese curds. Hid out here on a rainy day and was perfectly happy.

    Ripping on Midwestern transplants is a popular sport in New York, but you can't deny that some of the Midwest's artery-clogging regional specialties are damn tasty.

    I worked at Lambeau Field for a season and I can vouch for these Cheese Curds. So good.

    Love this place. Easily becoming one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn. If you go when it's not busy, play some shuffle board with friends.

    The Juicy Lucy is no Matt's and the cheese curds are no MN State Fair, but both are pretty darn good substitutes for Minnesota transplants!

    Wait... All these comments and nobody mentioned their cocktails. The "brandy old fashioned" is really damn good... One in Top 10 in NYC... For sure...

    Like a kid in a Wisconsin cheese shop. The Midwestern beer selection and cheese curds transport you back.

    FRIED CHEESE CURDS. I ate like 45 of them and I'm lactose-intolerant...they are that good.

    Prepare to be disappointed. Menu is greatly reduced from when they first opened: no hot dish to be found, and limited selection of midwestern beers. Indifferent service, food came out cold.
