"Brandishing a cozy atmosphere and vintage-inspired theme, Dutch Boy is a place even your mom and pop would love. Their menu is pretty straight forward and simple, and their burgers hit all the spots. But what's a burger without fries? Order up a side of curly fries (or onion rings if that's the side that really tickles your fancy) to go with your Hangover Burger after you've spent all night at adjacent beer garden, Franklin Park. If you're still feeling boozy, try out one of their spiked shakes, but even un-spiked they're pretty dang delicious." - Kyle & Annie Turman
"If drinking refreshing cold beers while outdoors is your preference, then Franklin Park is the place for you to chill with some friends or meet some new ones. With their large outdoor beer garden, comfy indoor space, and fantastic draft list, you're likely to have a wonderful evening. Pair that with their small arcade game selection, their Summer book reading series, live DJs on the weekends, and the fact you can order anything from the connected Dutch Boy Burger and it'll be a miracle if you ever leave at all." - Kyle & Annie Turman
"Whether you rollerbladed the Prospect Park loop or wandered around for 45 minutes trying to find a way out of the park, it’s probably about time for a burger. Head to Dutch Boy in Crown Heights and get a diner-style burger with or without (but definitely with) an egg on top. They also make spiked milkshakes, and it’s connected to Franklin Park, a big indoor/outdoor bar that feels like a party on summer weekends." - nikko duren, matt tervooren
"Whether you ran the Prospect Park loop or just worked on your tan for a few hours, you’ve probably worked up an appetite. The kind of appetite that can only be satisfied with a burger. Get one at Dutch Boy – this is a diner-style burger done right. Take the whole experience to the next level with a spiked milkshake." - katherine lewin
"Most beer gardens aren’t the kinds of places where you’d get sloppy on the dancefloor. But that’s what made Franklin Park in Crown Heights a little different. Their big outdoor patio with picnic tables operated like a beer garden during the day, but after 10pm on weekends, the bar room inside became a sweaty club scene. But Franklin Park was more than just a fun place to hang out — it’s been the go-to spot in the neighborhood for things like canned food drives, clothing swaps, and even a weekly reading group. Just three months after closing its doors, the neighborhood bar welcomed everyone back for crisp IPAs and local drafts outside. So if you live in the neighborhood, or just need a relatively quiet place to meet up with a few people outdoors, consider supporting this exceptional beer place." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
