Covenhoven

"If you are a lover of fine brews from all corners of the globe, then Covenhoven is your new favorite place. Featuring over 100 bottles and 16~ frequently rotating taps, you can easily find something your taste buds will go nuts for. It also helps that you can sip these fine beverages in a super cozy back patio that feels like a neighbor's backyard. If you ask the bartender what to drink, expect an elaborate answer that will almost always be spot on—these guys know what they're doing." - Kyle & Annie Turman

"Beer cans and drafts available for pick-up. Bring your own crowler, growler, or reusable water bottle for an in-store refill. Check their Instagram for more information." - nikko duren

"Covenhoven feels less like a bar and more like a friend’s house where there happens to be a large amount of beer. It’s just a little room in Crown Heights with a bunch of tables up front, and there’s a big fridge in the back where you can pick from a huge bottled beer selection. There are also always plenty of obscure things on tap, so if you want to spend your day drinking things you never knew existed, you’ll have fun here." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Dear beer nerds, we give you Covenhoven. Get a craft beer on tap or pick an obscure bottle from their fridge. There’s a big selection, and they’ll even pour you a taste. Non-beer nerds should know, however, that this is actually a nice place to hang out. There are a bunch of tables inside, but the backyard is truly where it’s at. It’s a little fenced-in area with patio furniture, and if you dress warm on a cool night, you might get it all to yourself." - bryan kim

"If you’re only getting drinks and trying to play it cool, try Covenhoven in Crown Heights. It’s a neighborhood beer with a huge selection of beer, it’s about as casual as a college dorm room, and it has a nice backyard with some patio furniture. When it’s warm out, that’s a great spot to sit and discuss whatever obscure beers you’ve chosen to drink. It also feels a little bit like a lawn in the suburbs, so it’s a good place to close your eyes and imagine what it would be like to raise some kids in Westchester with this person." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
