Great sandwiches to pick up and bring to Prospect Park for a picnic. The owner is a grump, a true Brooklyn icon who is always in the top ten lists for his food, but hasn't let it go to his head.

This is one of three bar/restaurants I own in the city. The Brooklyneer focuses on craft foods and drinks made in Brooklyn. All of our draft beers are brewed in Brooklyn or NY State and many of the food items are also made by local artisans from Brooklyn. At night it becomes more of a bar scene, but it is open everyday from 11am until 4am. If you are interested in visiting, please just let me know. I'm more than happy to make a reservation for you here.
