    Was here With a large group of friends. Food and drink was very nice but our server was exceptional. She was so cheerful and professional and great to interact with, that she elevated the entire experience. I wish I paid the bill so I could’ve got her name off the receipt. In any event, she was awesome!

    The Douglass was a very cozy pub filled with good music and good food! I would highly recommend the Horseradish Burger! The service was perfect, it's like we've been there a million times. The beer selection has a wide variety. It was the perfect spot. We liked it so much after a show at the Barclays Center we went back for an appetizer and you guessed it more beer!

    Really great little bar! We went for dinner on a Saturday night before going to a party down the street and really enjoyed ourselves. We made a reservation and they put a cute, little "reserved" sign on our table! At a bar! I loved it. We were greeted when we walked in by the bartender and our waitress was very attentive. I got the veggie burger and fries which were DELICIOUS! My dining guests got 2 Plain Jane burgers (with added toppings), the Cesar wrap and wings and they all remarked on how yummy the food was. Overall, the food is a tad pricey but I guess that is Brooklyn for you! Would recommend to a friend and go again.

    The food was very good and the server was very nice but very distracted in what seemed like a new iPad menu system? There was a point where we saw the chef set our food in the take out window and the server was right next to it but buried in the iPad. So we waited and waited, the chef rung the bell again but Still no delivery of food to our table. At this point I would have assumed maybe the bar tender who was tending to one person could have seen the server was having trouble and maybe just drop off our food to help with customer service. Sadly though, By the time we got our food it was cold. Overall, I’m hoping it was just a learning curve for the server and service isn’t usually like that.

    We were able to make a reservation here on Marathon Sunday, which was perfect given it's right along the Marathon route. We wanted to grab brunch after seeing some of our friends run the race. We were pleasantly surprised that not only were we able to get good service (the place was packed) but the food was good too. Given it's proximity to Barclays, I would definitely recommend this place to others who were looking for a low key, good place in the hood.

    We went before a concert. After an hour of waiting for our food, we had to leave as it wasn't ready yet.
