"The Ale House is a great place to go to have a few beers by yourself at the bar or with friends. It has a great selection—I'm partial to IPAs, and what's on offer changes frequently. The staff I know—the bartender Frank, the server Renae, and Eugene, who does both—are fine people and very friendly. The food is several steps above your average bar fare—a shoutout goes to Noë, the chef, whose specials are excellent. But if you're just looking for a burger, those are really tasty too. Also among the standard dishes is an impressive mac and cheese. Above all, the bar has character. The tin ceilings and dark wood bar and tables lend it a welcoming vibe. I've become a regular over time, and I won't go to other bars in the area anymore. The Ale House is by far the best bar in the Brooklyn Heights."

"This place has the best fried chicken sandwich in Brooklyn. It’s thin and very crispy. Always consistent, been ordering it for years even after I moved to a new neighborhood. Highly recommend!"

"Henry Street Ale House is such a great place to just chill and have a few beers. It's got the exact right vibe as far as what I'm looking at for a bar. All the staff I talked to were super interesting and engaging. Plus, as you can see, a perfect Guinness pour! Highly recommended."

"An excellent pub in Brooklyn Heights. The bartender and entire staff are on point, swift and smart. The food is good pub fare, I had the fried chicken sandwich, and while a bit dry, it hit the spot. I’ll be back as often as I can for this staple in NYC pubs. Nachos are great!"

"The girlfriend and I weren’t terribly impressed with this place. All the food we got was not in line with what we had expected. We were especially disappointed by the chicken tenders, which were nothing like the stereotypical chicken tender you’re going to get anywhere else. They’re battered with tiny (I mean tiny) slivers of chicken. Don’t think we will go back if we are craving bar food of any kind. Fried pickles were decent though."
