Kent Ale House

Very laid back bar. The prices are good. Siobhan is a great bartender and she's very nice. People are friendly here. I've had their Sausage Roll, which is very good and I love their Shrimp Skewers. The space is a good size. I definitely intend to come back.

Drove an hour just to come here for Premier League Morning. The bar was packed, drinks were flowing and the staff was having a grand time with patrons. Ordered the fish and Chips and a Heineken, my buddy got the Full Irish Breakfast, some wings, and a couple beers. The Cod beer batter was fantastic, super crispy fish that melts in your mouth. The buffalo sauce on the wings was also tasty. Prices are great for cash customers as well. My only negative is that when the door keeps opening the place starts FREEZING especially at the bar area but quickly warms up again when closed. Honestly a gem of a sports bar.

We traveled to Kent Ale House to watch the rugby. The staff are lovely and the bar has great atmosphere. However, unfortunately both me and my partner got sick after eating/drinking here so can’t recommend this place. Such a shame as the staff were so friendly and the service had been amazing. We may have just been unlucky but we likely won’t visit again.

I love this place. It’s like a second home in the sense that I’ve made great friends here, the food is fantastic and the drinks just right. Kent Ale House is an institution in Williamsburg. You come here to drink beer, a great Martini (my choice), some great local brews, cider, mulled wine or anything else. Sober people come here! It’s a place for after soccer, after work, or just to hang out. Football Sundays are the best. I can’t praise it enough! Tons of after parties, weddings (post post reception) and just regulars make it fun. The bartenders are fun and you can just chill.

A nice neighborhood sports bar. Great to watch Football ( Americans call it soccer 🙂🙃) with Man U fans ! Decent beer and usual bar snacks. Also Step out and walk a few yards to the park at the cornet for great skyline photo ops !

Didn’t have any food but service was great and beer was cold. Views of the river were nice from inside. Too cold to be outside. Didn’t have any food as me and my wife were having lunch later that day but I’m sure it would have been great.

Was able to get an outdoor table when visiting the Williamsburg area. The view was really good, and the food was good enough. I also liked their selection of beer. If you want to chillax with a nice view of Manhattan, this might be the place!

Absolute best bar in Williamsburg to watch sports (they open early on weekends for Premier League, Ryder Cup, etc.) Really fun atmosphere, top notch pub food, extensive beer list, outdoor seating with skyline views, and most notably: the staff are the ✨actual✨ loveliest people on Earth.

The food was great, drinks were very well priced, and all employees were super well attentive. We primarily had a blonde employee that only works weekend helping us. I asked her to just decide for me what I drank through the night and every drink she brought out was absolutely phenomenal. Will definitely come back here again. Shoutout to her (I'm so sorry, I didn't catch her name. She had many rings on and was just all around amazing.) !

I got the chicken tenders and fries and they were so delicious! Super crispy. We watched the Duke vs. Michigan game here and they put it on a projector for us which was great. Pretty chill, no frills ambiance

Just a casual sport bar with first floor waterfront views. We were in the neighborhood and stopped by for a drink and bite. I had the Passionfruit Margarita ($15) while he had a few pints of Guinness ($10). We also ordered a Burger ($15) with Bacon ($2) and Cheese ($2). The add-ons really make this quite pricey. Overall, decent spot. Nothing too special and a bit pricey, but that's Williamsburg for you.

The service was outstanding! We popped in on a rainy day, very cozy and all the games were on and they had nice menu with some irish classics. Big points on the excellent Guinness!

Good vibes but our bar tender was nasty and couldn't make conversation and when I spoke to him he was unable to hold the conversation and was nasty and dismissive.

Came here on a freezing cold day to watch the Notre Dame game. Kent Ale house is super cozy and casual, with worn in wooden floors, board games to play and lots of TVs to watch sports on. We were seated in the back of the ale house with other Notre Dame fans waiting for the game to start. There was a bit of a sound issue at first so we missed some of the pregame, but eventually the bartender got it fixed. Our waitress was attentive despite how many tables she was juggling -- I think she had the entire back room at one point, so it was impressive she didn't forget about us over in the corner. Drinks were decently priced, they have an extensive cocktail menu that even featured a few hot drinks, plus lots of beers on tap. Can't speak to the food since we'd eaten just before coming here, but all the food I saw going out looked delicious. Will come here again if I'm ever back in the area.

A great spot for an NFL Sunday -- it gets pretty busy but never super crowded, would recommend coming early for a table. I appreciate that they label all the TVs with which games they're broadcasting, so you can find a convenient spot to watch your team. Their Frozen Passionfruit Marg just may be my favorite in the city.

Food Service and Ambiance all A+. Our server Hunter was amazing and will definitely be back. Sausage rolls, cold beers, and college football - who could ask for more!!

I went to this bar for the first time last weekend and it was so much fun, especially with a group of people! They have a great drink selection, including a mystery beer + shot deal for $10 which is when the bartender surprises you with a shot of their choosing and then a surprise beer or seltzer in a brown paper bag. The food is also really good, I had the chicken tenders with fries and my husband got the grilled cheese and the portions were perfect both were very tasty. This bar also has games like Uno, Jenga, and Connect 4, and plenty of TVs to watch games. I'll definitely be coming back!

This place is a divey sports bar. They have tons of screens all over, even for people outdoors. So, you can drink outside on the sidewalk if you'd like to, as that's where they are set up. We didn't make any reservations and just walked into the bar 30 mins before the Knicks game during the playoffs to get a table for the group of eight of us. I suggest that as soon as they play the game, it started getting crowded. I must say that the service is terrible. They need more wait staff, especially during the weekends. The food is alright for a divey bar. But it isn't gourmet. The bathrooms are kinda gross as it's for anyone to use, and people don't know how to pee in the toilet. But I mean, shouldn't the employees go inside and check up on the restroom now and then? That's all I can say!

We had our wedding after party at the Kent Ale House and can't recommend them enough! Clive was so helpful in securing a back room for us, had our platters of grilled cheese and burgers ready right away, and even played our preferred playlist so there was a seamless transition from the wedding to the after party. If you're getting married at the Wythe hotel or anywhere nearby, highly recommend Kent Ale House as a location to continue the festivities!

Great selection of draft beer and ample seating available. Will definitely have to return

The view is still awesome here, they have a pretty sweet spot right on the corner. The service was way better this time, both the bartender and server were extremely friendly, helpful and kind. It definitely brightened my day. On this trip I tried the food. It was decent pub food, nothing I was overly enthusiastic about. The wings were just ok and the fried pickles are what I consider a 'fair' type of beer batter fry, think funnel cake-ish. Again, these were fine. Typical standard bar/pub food. I got ciders and tried some canned sweet tea thing that was advertised in the bathroom, they were standard. A much better experience this go around and I will be back, especially for that view.

Typical sports bar. The food is decent but nothing out of this world. We sat in the back seating area- and I constantly had to find our waiter for water, drinks, food and finally to close out. Mind you it wasn't busy... So I probably would skip it if you have other options

Came here for my birthday yesterday and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They didn't mind that my group moved around from the bar area to the back and all around. Bailey the bartender was very accommodating and even helped get my Mets on a few of the TVs with sound. My lunch was good, we ordered a grilled cheese and fries and chicken tenders and fries and shared. Both were really tasty. They had games for my group to play like connect 4, jenga and cards against humanity. I just want to thank Bailey and the Kent Ale House team for making my birthday a memorable one!

I visited Kent Ale House to watch a college football game with friends last weekend and had a great time! I think we timed our visit just right, it was a beautiful November day in Brooklyn and we were able to take advantage of the outdoor seating area before it gets too cold. The staff was friendly and made sure to flip the channel for those who came in with a request for certain games. There were gluten free can options to choose from (including seltzers, and hard kombucha). We got the fries to split, which were great, and I also tried out their hot toddy which wasn't the best I've ever had but was a fun drink to enjoy on a crisp fall day. I'd recommend to anyone looking to catch a game, or enjoy drinks with friends.

This review is more of a warning, I had some sort of curry box that nearly killed me. I have a generally strong constitution but I was sick all night after eating here, I think it's some sort of oil issue. Staff was nice and everything went fine so far as service

THANK YOU BAILEY. Our company had a huge trip to the brewery around the area. Afterwards we came here and bombarded it with more than 40 people. Bailey was the only one on and took care of everyone effortlessly, without stress, nothing. As a bartender, I would say he exceeded our expectations. No sweat on this guy. We'll be coming every year now.

We decide to come in & have drinks since we needed to kill some time for an event , drinks had the Pumpkin ale which was great , they have a nice selection of beers. After a few beers we had the Pretzel , yumm so soft nice & hot too this thing was like crack it was delicious! It was Holiday time so the place was nicely decorated, service was good & prices were reasonable for the drinks , we had an enjoyable time.

Great view of the city from the few available windows seats. Their Cajun Shrimp, Buffalo Chicken Mac-N-Cheese, and Sausage Roll were delish, and plenty for the two of us. But boy, did we need lots of water after our meal! Nice selection of beers, with a few Octoberfest and a Pumpkin variety being offered.

2.5 stars. beers is cold and the vibes are good. food is not good at all. service is 6/10. beware of the "house made tater tots" - it's a ball of mushy hash browns. worth going for a drink - but skip the food.

We'd just had brunch at Kokomo nearby and wanted to find a spot to hang out and have a drink. Kent Ale House wasn't open yet, but one of the cooks saw us standing around and let us in to warm up. He even got us some coffee! He wasn't able to serve us drinks, but the bartender was coming in shortly and she hooked us up. Even though it was chilly, I ordered a Jim Beam citrus highball: Jim Beam Original White Label Whiskey, Lemon Juice & Soda Water. It was refreshing and light, which was nice. The bartender gave us some recommendations for some other spots in the area - always appreciated! We had a nice time just chatting, watching the news, and enjoying a drink at Kent Ale House. I'd definitely come back for their full English breakfast! Seems like a really fun pub atmosphere, especially when football is on.

Wings have always been good here. Vibe is great, lots of TVs, right on the water. Lack of stars has to do with the service. I'm not sure what was going on but the waitress was in another world. We tried to order the same drinks 4 times. She would come back and say "they didn't bring you the shots?" Every time.... 40+ min later and nothing. The other waiters were very apologetic but we never ended up getting the drinks and they were all on the bill lol. We had to let another waiter know and they adjusted the bill finally. But def a crappy experience in terms of service.

Randomly walked to this place since it had outdoor seating available on a Saturday late afternoon. Chill sports bar vibe with a bunch of people walking around the streets to nearby venues. Was able to pick a spot to settle and scanned the table for the menu. Not many options on draft as they used to have, but got a decent Pilsener ($8) to start. For food, split the Buffalo Cauliflower ($13) - a few pieces of breaded cauliflower served alongside ranch dressing and celery sticks. Basic tangy flavor and not overly breaded. Considering the price, wish there was more in the dish. Service here is fine, especially considering it's a sports bar. A good place to be if watching the game, as they even place a couple TV's outside. Would skip the food next time and just have the drinks.

This is the second time I've been here (food only), and while I'm sure there's great beer, I thought the experience left something to be desired. This time around I came with a good sized party on a loud Sunday night while they blasted the Mets game. It was very hard to hear anything. There's not a whole lot of healthy and/or vegan options on the menu so I went for the veggie burger and a salad (not beyond burger). It was pretty tasty, towering with a bunch of toppings and the thickest, densest veggie burger I've ever had that I couldn't tell you what it was made from. It felt super processed. The salad was pretty boring and I struggled to finish it. Service was okay but a little slow. With so many great places around, Kent is a bit bland for food but I understand most people are looking for their real deal--craft beer.

Staff is absurdly rude. Will not be returning. So many better sports bars in the area to go to instead. Do not go here!

Iight so boom. Pulled up here with my homegirls after a drunken night at Bar Schimmi. We needed food and we needed it ASAP. So fair warning, we were drunk and everything tastes good when drunk but I swear the food was bomb. Seems like a typical sports bar, had all the football games going on all the TVs and the patrons were enjoying the game. BACK TO THE FOOD. I had the chicken sandwich and babyyyyyyy that joint was slapping! My homegirls had Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, buffalo wings, sliders & fries, sweet potato fries and the grilled cheese with fries. We closed DOWN. WITH leftovers. That silent eating when you know everyone's enjoying their food. In & out, I'm sure the drinks are great (we were drunk so we only had water) but good times. Good times.

Came to watch some football and had some drinks and an appetizer. The hostess asked us what games we would like to watch upon entry which was great. At least 4 different games going on and the Bills on the main screen and there was a TV with a soccer game on as well. The drinks were good the Buffalo cauliflower bites were good and the service was good. Nothing extraordinary but everything was done properly. I would come back here for more games

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. After walking nine miles and taking two trains to get to the Smorgasburg event in Brooklyn (I was so tired). We left the event quickly after arriving as the lines were ridiculous, it was insanely crowded and we were too hungry to wait. We walked some more and went into Kent Ale House. We were told that you seat yourself and so we did. Our server greeted a table that came in after us and then she greeted our table and got our drink orders. She certainly did her job as a waitress, however, she was strictly business. No pleasantries, just a "what do you need type" of attitude. We got our drinks quickly and ordered wings as an appetizer and I ordered the chicken sandwich. Our appetizers came out and about one minute later our entrees come out. Ideally, the waiter or waitress would try to time when they should put the entrees into the system, but clearly that was not done today. The wings were pretty good. But my chicken sandwich was...fire...delicious...bomb.com. We needed ketchup and my mom ended up having to go find someone for ketchup. Unfortunately for us, the service was a deficit, however, everything else was quite good.

A good dive bar to watch sports and get drinks. They do separate bills at the bar so if you are there with a group it makes it easier. They have a large selection of beers as well.

There is outdoor side seating, a small enclosed patio in thé rear, an expansive front bar and lots of wide, flat screen télévisions for your viewing pleasure. This place earned one star for thé wonderfully, well spaced layout that never really seems cramped. Another star earned for the ample screens that display rugby and fútbol back to back. Another star for thé service which was courteous and efficient even amidst thé Northside festival swarm along with free drinks which led to extra exuberance. Bathrooms are efficient, food seems solid (athough all I did was sample some in passing), and thé views from this location could really set thé mood if you're in on a quiet evening. I would definitely return to try more of their offerings and to check out anything I missed.

Very loud music!!! I had a great time with my guest, we just needed a place quick to charge our phones and we ordered the Chilli Cheese Tatter tots and BBQ jumbo wings. The staff was amazing, quickly attended us and very nice. The bathroom was clean and the place was packed. We didn't have any drinks but the next best thing to love about a place is the food. Definitely going to make a trip back. There is outside seating and open windows for air and a gorgeous view of the city right outside the place. It really is a must see!!!! I am very happy I ran into this bar.

TL;DR Version: - Great wings - Good service - Amazing Frozen Irish Coffees Long Winded Version: Food: 5/5 Tried the wings with BBQ on the side. Wings were a good size and crispy. The Frozen Irish Coffee is delicious and shouldn't be passed up on. Location: 5/5 Extremely convenient location. Near the Brooklyn Smorgasbord and right off the bike path. Tons of stuff to do near by. Atmosphere / Ambiance: 5/5 Great casual spot that perfect for catching some soccer and a pint. Quality: 5/5 Our waitress was nice and kept checking on us even though it was pretty busy. Bar is nice and clean with seating outside as well.

this is a solid bar. tons of craft beer options and pub food. But better than average pub food. The outside tables were a bit close, so if you want to be fully social distant this might not be your place. Wings and fries were both A+. Service got crazy because it became more crowded later.

Sergei was amazing and his friends Nancy and Shane and Alex were too we came in to watch a match and left happy!!!

This place is great, run don't walk. The Philly egg roll and sausage rolls were the best I've ever had, I can only imagine how their regular menu is but we had a post wedding brunch to get to. The service was great even on a busy Saturday morning. I love this place can't wait to go back and HIGHLY recommend!

WOW! WOW! The Buffalo wings were amazing, they were probably the best I've had in a while. So if you get the chance to check them out you have to try out the wings. I also ordered the nachos, but they weren't exactly what I was expecting, they put a sweet and sour sauce on the nachos which was the best part of the nachos. I just wouldn't order nachos from here again. Oh can't forget, if you sit outside you have a wonderful view of Manhattan.

This is was a drop in idea after the place we had reservations for screwed us over. The place was quiet with a few people at tables our waiter was very patient with us and very friendly. He even answered to a name we nickname him before we got his real name. The food was great and came out on time and be made amazing drinks of our request. Nice spot for a girls night or laidback date

One of the best spots in the city if you enjoy watching sports with excellent food and service. I've been patronizing joints in NYC my whole life and this place deserves your attention and worth a trip wherever you are coming from. Maybe this pandemic has also created innovators and owners who stepped up to the challenge as this place certainly did. 6 tv's outside with plenty of seating and staff who really care about customers. Highly reccomended.

It was ok... meh On food and service We dined outside and Sent buffalo cauliflower back

Excellent burger and french fries. Service very good. Extremely dog friendly even invited in.

Sports, good bar food, super staff. Always consistently good year after year. Kid friendly too.

Delicious burgers. Build it your own way. Greasy juice running down over your hands to your elbows. Wash er down with a beer. Mmmm mmmm good

This was a pretty fun pub. I came with a few friends for a drink before catching a show at Schimanski and we had a good time. I can't recall the name of the bartender but he was awesome! Very friendly from the get and attentive as well. We got 2 rounds of Delirium Tremens which I believe were priced at $12. We also had the four cheese grilled cheese which was delicious. It was hard to choose because everything on the food menu sounded very appetizing! Overall it seems like the perfect spot to spend a Friday or Saturday night. I would def. go back next time I'm in the area.

I was with the regular film camera crowd and we had been out on a stroll in the area, when all of a sudden we were hit with a hankering for a brew and maybe a bit of chow. Luckily, at the corner we came across this place! We stepped inside and found cozy seats at a table by the window. A couple of us went to the bar directly where we were attended by Sergei the friendly bartender. As a bonus, Sergei speaks Russian so we had a brief and pleasant Russian conversation! The brews were tasty and the food was very nicely prepared. The interior is well kept, with clean restrooms and well-bussed tables. It is a busy place and many of the locals seem to enjoy it, so they are definitely doing something right here. I will certainly stop by again the next time I am in the area.

Best bar in the city. Sports, huge beer list, indoor/outdoor seating with partial views of Manhattan. Good crowd and fun/sarcastic servers. Great wings too. This was my go to spot to watch any game or grab a beer with friends.

Kent Ale House is a fun pub to hang out at. It has plenty of tvs throughout the pub, so you'll be within eyesight of the game no matter where you sit. There are a bunch of board games such as connect four, battle ship, sorry, and clue. Their beer selection has about two dozen options with most (if not all) of them being craft beers. They also have a kitchen with some bar food items.

Good drinks. Good food. Good service. You can't really go wrong with Kent Ale house, It's open pretty late, and there are TVs everywhere which is perfect for watching a sports game. Our waitress was also super friendly and very attentive.
