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
Rebecca MazzaSeptember 6, 2016Awesome service and great food. Only get the pot of crabs if you're willing to work to eat
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.
Benjamin SehlSeptember 30, 2014Calling all Canadians: the Bloody Breuklen is essentially a Caesar. Get it with spicy habanero tequila - amazing.
Laura CrawfMay 6, 2013Not super crowded for a sunny, warm Sunday and everyone working there was incredibly nice. I recommend the cold platter with spicy shrimp. Can take the ikea water taxi to get there easier.
Dave DawsonSeptember 12, 2013Lots of beer on tap, corn hole, delicious seafood, MINI GOLF! What else do you need? And it's across the street from Fairway, so you can go grocery shopping after you feast.
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.
Barton SmithOctober 10, 2015Such a fun place - amazing view, plenty of group seating and some fun arcade games.
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!
If you have a shellfish allergy eat some Lobster but bring your epi pen & stab it in your leg then say "Hey everyone! Now this place is called Brooklyn Stab!!"
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.
WayofmoufApril 15, 2017Crabs galore! Great chillout beach vibe, delicious food, and beautiful views of the bay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
Don't mess around, go for the crab royale, it's so worth it. Great views!
Renae MasonOctober 19, 2017Love the multiple decks and water views, feels like being on holiday. Crab also simple and good!
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.
Natalie VJuly 17, 2016Cool outdoor spot with seafood, lawn games. Gets crowded though so be prepared and food is $$.
Sal CappiJuly 24, 2013Tools of the crab eating trade. Fantastic harbor views from the top deck. Order the Crab Royale!
Denis SosnovtsevAugust 19, 2014The piña coladas come in those neon colored plastic tubes and are crazy delicious. It's probably the pound of sugar in each.
Grab a half dozen oysters, the blue crab roll, and a Blue Point Summer Ale. Great summer lunch.
Pat DMay 27, 2013Mac and cheese and corn are totally worthy the $$ as a nice extra or side. Great atmosphere and wait staff. Always a fun time.
Mike JohnsonJuly 20, 2017Come for the free mini golf, stay for the free mini golf. Also beer and expensive but tasty seafood.
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.
Melissa RosenthalOctober 11, 2014Awesome place for groups and incredible seafood. Try the crab roll ;)
- 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.
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.
Alex RavenelJune 4, 2015Great place to grab a drink on a warm day. Can turn into a mad house though, and take forever to get a drink.- Martin FreemanJuly 26, 2013The Cajun crab is the bomb.com...melted butter will make you cry (in a good way that is)
Chrissy KJuly 12, 2016To suggest getting the crab roll rather than the crab legs. Less work and you get more meat.
Eric TashSeptember 1, 2014Red Hook by the water + Key West styled bar/resto = transport to a foreign land. Food is solid and libations plenty. Get one of their crab rolls!
Le Lo2 weeks agoCome 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
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.
Come for the drinks, games and ambiance, but eat next door at Hometown BBQ. View from the top deck is ridiculous.
Kira GlasteinMay 15, 2013Table by window obviously. If there is no wait, the service is good. The blue crab and fried shrimp were excellent.
DominikMay 7, 2013Awesome chilled atmosphere! Best for a lazy waterfront afternoon. Try the oysters and have a blue point light.
Alicia FowlerApril 23, 2015Fork over your paycheck for the blue crabs. Just do it. And make sure to play in the backyard.
