I moved to Crown Heights in December so was on the lookout for a new local bar. And I'm so glad I found Covenhoven. First the beers are great and at a good price. Second all of the staff are wonderful. Very welcoming and fun to interact with. Third they have a GREAT backyard that is chill and a lot of fun. And fourth - they are incredibly kid friendly and are happy to put up with my rambunctious four year old from time to time. :) And finally - it's actually a great place to work from during the week between 2-5. WiFi is strong and nothing wrong with having a pint while getting some work done!

I checked out Covenhoven with some friends on a Friday afternoon/evening while visiting Brooklyn. This is a happening little spot with a wide selection of beers on tap and in a large refrigerator for purchase. So many options to choose from and I enjoyed looking through the fridge section for the wild and quirky beers I've never heard of before. It was fun sitting out on their outdoor courtyard. There's some basic pub fare food as well if you get hungry. I would definitely stop back in again.

Always enjoyable at the different hours you go. During the day, it's more relaxing and if you choose, work off a laptop or play some board games. Evening time, great as a hang out spot. Back yard also available. It's not the biggest space for larger groups so 1-4 is more ideal. Their food is fairly straightforward- I'd go for the grilled cheese or pretzel. Great variety of beers to choose from. Staff are helpful in your final selection.

I always love the huge variety in beer selection at Covenhoven and this evening was no different. Sours, ciders, and meads you likely won't find many other places. Their havarti, fig jam, and arugula grilled cheese is an absolute favorite every time. Super cozy and warm with a wood stove in the winter. The backyard is delightful on warmer nights and there's a small selection of games. Was a favorite when I lived here and I always make a point to come back when I visit. Everyone who works here is a delight as well.

First Impressions: super cozy and fun little spot to meet up friends. They have food to order options as well as a pantry/refrigerator where you can buy all the items needed for a decent charcuterie board to enjoy at your table. Tons of beer on tap, I don't know Judy about beers but I know about a good time with friends and I liked it here The Noms: we bought bread, cheeses, and pâté to share. I never met a charcuterie board I didn't love and this wasn't an exception. We also ordered the pretzel (good but too much salt... I shook some off and it was perfect)... the fig jam and arugula grilled cheese was fuckin amazing. Excuse the cursing but it was damn good. I could eat two more if I wasn't so stuffed! In Conclusion: 10/10 would recommend this spot. I live on the UWS and rarely make it too Brooklyn for any reason (except one of my close friends moved here) but I would definitely make the trek BK to meet her up and have a grilled cheese here

It took me a few years to make it to this place once I learned about it...then it took me about 3 weeks to return. Fantastic selection of beers in the case and on draft, reasonable prices, and a great atmosphere. As far as beers of this type go, this one is definitely as good as it gets.

Loved this little beer bar in Brooklyn. They have a nice selection of beers. Their food is also tasty, too! Their backyard patio is really nice. It has quite a bit of space. Everything was clean. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Cute little spot for drinks - loved the ambiance of the place and the wide selection of craft beers and small snacks available to purchase. One thing I noticed was the upsell of the prices to drink a can of beer from the fridge at the place - around $3-4 more just to have a glass. Loved the fridge with great single portion sizes of cheeses and a half baguette!

The CUTEST little backyard patio bar situation! One of my favorites in the Prospect Heights area and a quick walk from any of the subway stops, it's definitely somewhere I've taken numerous friends for casual hangouts. It would definitely work as a COVID-safe, casual date spot as well. Lots of beers on tap here, with an even larger selection of craft canned beers as well. It's a great place to enjoy a warm summer night, or any outdoor night other than your tiny NYC apartment!

I finally got to remove Covenhoven from my bookmarks tonight. Covenhoven is a beer shop, beer garden, and cafe all in one. When you walk in, the first thing that catches your eye is the illuminated refrigerator of endless beer across from the bar. On the last door, they have a selection of meats and cheeses that allow you to create your own board with an optional baguette for an extra cost. The bar has an extensive chalk board that lists all the taps they offer in the various sizes. They had about 15 different choices with mainly local brews. The bartenders were eager to help and very friendly. They also have a limited food menu of bratwursts, grilled cheese, and hot pretzels. I got the cheddar and truffle hot pretzel which honestly was the perfect munchie. It came out piping hot and with a good amount of flavor. Then I got the cheddar and jack grilled cheese with bacon. It came with the two fluffiest slices of bread. A little on the burnt side but still gooey and comforting. Next time I stop in I'll try the bratwurst and knackwurst. Covenhoven bares a close parallel to Banter in Williamsburg, with the exception of a large stock of craft cans and bottles that can be ordered to stay or to go. I thought the vibe was very warm and welcoming and the prices were just as well. It was a bit out of the way from the Queens but I would love to return soon!
