    This is such a great dog bar with an awesome selection of craft beers. Baby strollers have to stay outside, while dogs can go inside. Heaven!

    Great beer bar in the slope, with dozens of beers on draft, many of which are hard to find, and always a couple on cask. And a solid cider selection for your friend who isn't sure if they want beer.

    Excellent and always changing variety of quality beers. Patio. Video Games. Darts. A staple since 1997, when it was the only spot for 10 blocks in any direction. One time I saw Steve Buschemi walk by.

    Grab a pint and a table outside. Then ask for the takeout menus and order up some grub! Fido has to stay on his leash while he begs for scraps!

    Fabulous spot for outdoor get-togethers. Indoors looks a little drab. Beer focus but also wine and cocktails. No food.

    Bring you dog and your desire to throw down a beer or three. It's a bit dingie and it's great that way. Great for friends or a 10th date.

    Great yard and solid craft beer. Usually some good local stuff mixed with craft beer from around the country.

    Great beer, good bartenders, and the occasional dog. What's not to like? One of my favorite spots in park slope.

    Whether you're an indoors or outdoors person... whether it's 75 and sunny or 30 and snowing... as long as you like great craft beer, you belong at this Park Slope mainstay.

    Outdoor seating is clutch in the summer. There's also a hilarious pub quiz on Monday nights

    Good craft beer list and an (often-packed) patio, but you'll have to get food delivered.

    Some kind of trivia game going on here at the time of this post. I'll admit, I'm curious to come back and play in earnest; see what it's all about.

    Great outside space for dogs and kids, but look out for the rat poison stations under the benches.

    This place is a park slope standard. Try a black and tan. There are darts in the back. Or sit in the garden and chill with yuppies and their dogs.

    The 'Neat-pour' of Jameson is $6.50 & you get an obscene amount of liquor
