I climb right above this spot and love coming here afterwards. The steak with chimichurri is my favorite and hits the spot without breaking the bank. The drinks are always flowing and there’s a good mix of local brews and non alcoholic options.
The staff here is seriously delightful! I appreciate their efforts to bring community together, especially with art, music and film showings. Would love more of these events! It feels great to get food, drink and some culture all in one.

A bit out of the way, went for a birthday celebration, music not too loud as to allow ok conversation. Large tap selection as well as $16 cocktails. Ok party sliders and pretzel bites, only 6 small wings for $16 cooked well, not really spicy. Friendly staff kept our drinks filled.

Great draft beer selection and AMAZING burger (probably best one we had in a while), steak was delicious too.
Place has a nice atmosphere, good music and terrace outside.
And they do have happy hour every day which is very convincing to stop by and have a drink

We showed up an hour and a half before closing, excited to finally try this spot and easily ready to drop a $100 tab. Instead, the doors were locked, tables were already stacked, and the place was clearly shut down early. A staff member sat in the back scrolling on her phone, ignoring calls (we literally watched her see the phone ring and not answer). The cook was hanging around in back, but no one cared to serve customers.
It’s incredibly disappointing when a restaurant chooses convenience over hospitality. Closing early is one thing. Doing it while someone’s literally standing at your locked door is just disrespectful. Hours posted are clearly just for decoration here. Not only did they lose our business tonight, but they lost future visits too.

So good! This burger was one of the best I’ve had and so were the fries! Drinks were great too, loved the hard kombucha. We went for trivia night and won! They have it every Tuesday, a different theme and it was a lot of fun. The host was amazing! Highly recommend this place.

Evalyn’s Tap House in Gowanus is a super hidden gem, but don’t let that stop you from checking it out! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the throwback music playlist sets the perfect vibe for a relaxed evening. We had such a good date night dinner here!!
We started with the large, warm pretzels – absolutely perfect for sharing. For the mains, the steak with fingerling potatoes was fantastic (I skipped the chimichurri, just my personal preference), and the loaded Tap House burger with fries was a winner. Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying! Also the shrimp wontons, super good!!!
This spot is definitely worth seeking out, and I can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for great food, chill vibes, and a memorable experience! They also offer the place for events for FREE! Just cover food/drink & I think thats awesome! Place is decked out in fairy lights and has beautiful floor to ceiling glass to outlook. Loved it! And will be back!

Hosted my birthday gathering here 2 straight years and it’s been a wonderful experience each time. Service is awesome and it’s truly a gem to host a free gathering. Be sure to create your Spotify playlist and send your food order in advance of your gathering/celebration. Additionally, the space is beautiful!

Best spot in Brooklyn to host an event, meet up with freinds, get a quick bite, enjoy your night with good music, etc. This space has such a great vibe that it works. I hosted a screening and I LOVE how the staff was able to accommodate last minute requests. They allowed for us to setup with enough time to finish the film before closing. Beautiful people, beautiful atmosphere and beautiful night. Very lowkey, but high value. I can’t stress enough how much I love & adore this Tap House.

My recent visit to Evalyn’s Tap Room was disappointing. Despite it not being busy on a Friday night around 7-8 p.m., the service was neglectful. The staff seemed more interested in socializing on the wrong side of the bar than attending to customers.
I ordered the rice bowl, which was more of a salad and had a strong, unpleasant aftertaste, almost like kerosene. The West Coast IPA I had with it also tasted watered down.
Given the poor quality of both the food and the drink, and the lack of attention from the staff, I won’t be returning. It’s a shame, as the place has potential.

Just had a baby shower for a friend and we had a wonderful time and experience at Evalyn’s Tap House. It is super rare to find a place that will host your party for free in NYC and with no hidden charges or fee so this is a true and rare gem. Communication was great with Vanessa and Steven the bartender was the best! Great food, drinks, and vibes and baby shower was a super success!
