Mag MagpieSeptember 2, 2018Fresh seafood on a rooftop overlooking the Red Hook docks. Fun to try the extensive hot sauce collection and get messy with a bucket of crab
Martin FreemanJuly 26, 2013The clam roll was excellent! Mac & Cheese over there was definitely on my good side..check it out when you have a chance.
WayofmoufApril 15, 2017Crabs galore! Great chillout beach vibe, delicious food, and beautiful views of the bay.
miles lennonJuly 21, 2016If you are in the mood for the Hamptons but don't want to leave New York come here, drink some beer and enjoy the rooftop views of the water
Big WittAugust 14, 2016Good summer spot, when your with a group. shareable portions, good drink selection great scenic view. Parking in the area was the only hassle.
TriplJuly 16, 2012If it's a sunny day, and you feeling being around a nautical setting, Brooklyn Crab is the place to be. Get a bucket of beers and enjoy a game of mini golf or corn hole with your friends.
Elizabeth KenneyJuly 11, 2012Came at 4 with the kids on a Wednesday and had the whole mini-golf course to ourselves. Finished up with an early dinner on the upper deck. Great kids' menu! Don't bother with the fake lemonade.
Mini golf while you wait for a table. Or belly-up to the upstairs bar, sip a (huge) frozen pina colada, and enjoy the view.
Grab a half dozen oysters, the blue crab roll, and a Blue Point Summer Ale. Great summer lunch.
StayNYC RentalsApril 23, 2019The Crab has two full bars replete with specialty cocktails and frozen drinks and a postcard-worthy southwest-facing vantage on the Hudson River Bay.
The New Yorker ManagerAugust 20, 2012"[F]resh cold oysters and perfectly steamed lobster, eaten in the open, relatively salty air, with a killer view of New York Harbor." Shauna Lyon on Brooklyn Crab (8/27/2012): http://nyr.kr/R50GAo
Linda ChowApril 8, 2016Love this place! Kind of pricey, but great place for good food and good times. Love the BK Steam Pot! Beware of long waits during summer.
DrewskiJuly 30, 2016Great spot for groups when the weather is nice. Lots of outdoor games to keep everyone entertained. Can't speak to seafood quality, but the drink menu is okay.
Eva OngeriAugust 17, 2016This place was on our list for the longest time. Nice vibe. Get the Alaskan King Crab. Avoid the soft shell crab sandwich; it was really oily.
Benjamin SehlSeptember 30, 2014Calling all Canadians: the Bloody Breuklen is essentially a Caesar. Get it with spicy habanero tequila - amazing.
Sure, it's a little pricey. But the refreshing frozen drinks, delicious crab rolls and amazing view all make it so worth it!
Daniel BarnettJuly 19, 2015Don't be to ask if you don't know proper technique for crab destruction. Do it right, you'll have a great time. And get the watermelon lime cocktail!
christian svanes koldingSeptember 25, 2017oysters are good and the view is appealing but the clam chowder is all potatoes and flour while their version of fish and chips is definitely pretty poor, as are the crab cakes.
Varun ShettyAugust 8, 2014Head to the backyard and get way too competitive while playing cornhole. Bonus points if you miss the target entirely and knock a beer out of your friend's hand.
Uber NYCMay 16, 2016Stake out your spot by the games in the back if you're feeling competitive. If not, grab a table up top for the best waterfront views.
Rebecca MazzaSeptember 6, 2016Awesome service and great food. Only get the pot of crabs if you're willing to work to eat
LaurenMarch 24, 2017WEDNESDAYS: $1 house oysters all day. WED/THUR/FRI: Happy hour $3 Narragansett Drafts, $5 well drinks from 4:00pm-7:00pm in the main bar.
Natalie VJuly 17, 2016Cool outdoor spot with seafood, lawn games. Gets crowded though so be prepared and food is $$.
Renae MasonOctober 19, 2017Love the multiple decks and water views, feels like being on holiday. Crab also simple and good!
Pat DMay 27, 2013Mac and cheese and corn are totally worthy the $$ as a nice extra or side. Great atmosphere and wait staff. Always a fun time.
You'll be steaming glad you went here. Get the Brooklyn Crab Royale for two--serves 3 if you add a side or two. Cornhole while you wait.
Sal CappiJuly 24, 2013Tools of the crab eating trade. Fantastic harbor views from the top deck. Order the Crab Royale!
Michelle WadeApril 28, 2013Sit up in the deck on a nice day and there's no way you can be in a bad mood. Great see service, beautiful view and good beer selection
M.B. McGillOctober 26, 2015Play the micro mini golf course out back & check out the top floor hot sauce collection lining the booths, walls and partitions.
Eva DragoMay 24, 2016Sit outside for some amazing views and breezes! Fun games out back to pass the time if you're waiting for a table.
Melissa RosenthalOctober 11, 2014Awesome place for groups and incredible seafood. Try the crab roll ;)
Don't mess around, go for the crab royale, it's so worth it. Great views!
Ask for seats in Liz's section she is the best! The food was amazing and views were awesome. Amy and I have found our new summer spot!
Crabs, beer, corn hole, buckhunter, pool, mini golf, Statue of Liberty. Go
Mike JohnsonJuly 20, 2017Come for the free mini golf, stay for the free mini golf. Also beer and expensive but tasty seafood.
ZenFoodsterJune 10, 2012My advice: kick bk w/drinks & cold/raw platters on their 1st flr deck, & change to the upper deck for sunset. You'll be drunk & soaking it all up by then!
- Ariana VoyerAugust 29, 2016The second floor bar on the left offers views of the water and the most comfortable atmosphere but unfortunately is closed in by windows.
Put your name in for a table, leave a number, and they will txt when ready. love when places have the newest tech.
DominikMay 7, 2013Awesome chilled atmosphere! Best for a lazy waterfront afternoon. Try the oysters and have a blue point light.
Le LoApril 15Come for the views of the bay and an afternoon drink. The food just good enough to keep you sober-ish.
Ashling PlunkettAugust 1, 2013Great seafood, check out the fried oysters! Great views of Manhattan too, and cheap beer. A Red Hook must visit
Chrissy KJuly 12, 2016To suggest getting the crab roll rather than the crab legs. Less work and you get more meat.
Alexander MorrisAugust 11, 2014I had heard that the service was horrendous but we had no issues at all. Great views from the rooftop and food was great as well.
