Best

I've been going to Henry's for about a year and a half now, and everytime I go I have a great experience. Pros: food, booze, service Cons: it's really dark in there

We celebrated a milestone at work and a large party went out to celebrate. After we ran up a tab of over $300 in mostly beers and ales, we were asked to leave because we were ""ma...

Big Bill and Kicked Out 6/9/2009

We celebrated a milestone at work and a large party went out to celebrate. After we ran up a tab of over $300 in mostly beers and ales, we were asked to leave because we were ""making noise"". It was just the normal chatter of a large group having fun... Pros: Beer & Ale Variety Cons: Library Atmosphere more

Beamish and more 1/12/2009

This bar is dark and cozy with attractive and classy interior decor - tin ceiling and belt-driven vintage ceiling fans, dark wooden booths. I live around the corner and come here a bit, the crowd is young and lively most nights without being too loud or rowdy; this is a good neighborhood pub. The prices are very reasonable for hearty pub grub in large portions. The beer selection is excellent and seasonal, with many great choices ranging from local brews to international favorites. They have 20 oz. Beamish pints, and are the only place in the US I've ever been to that offers this delightful Irish stout on tap. Options from Geary's, Dogfish Head, Sly Fox, Brooklyn Brewery, Six Point and more are also available on tap. The Mannequin Pis is worth a try. The service is generally ok, the servers are usually very nice if not the fastest. One small TV means it's definitely not a sports bar. Pros: Beer selection, hearty food, good local atmosphere Cons: service sometimes slow, multiple servers at a table more

Regrettable experience 12/22/2008

Horrible lack of service, civility, and regard for their clientele. Bartenders and staff are rude, neglectful, unprofessional, and clearly, from the history of poor reviews, unwilling to change. If this kind of service is their shtick, Henry out to be out about it. Otherwise, they have no business being in the hospitality business, Cons: unattentive, rude, unprofessional staff more

Spectacularly nasty service. Twice! 12/21/2008

Last May, after several uneventful trips to Henry St.,, I accidentally left my debit card there, called to confirm it was there and came back for it the next day. The bartender at the time (Sat. early evening) couldn't find it on first go, refused to look further, and berated me for wasting his time. It was so astonishing that a server would give me a tongue lashing for trying to retrieve my credit card that I walked out stunned and embarrassed for clearly having made a mistake. The other folks at the bar looked shocked too! The next day they called to tell me they found it. Cons: Abusive service staff more

Awesome food, casual atmosphere 9/2/2008

The food here is great! Everything is well priced, no complaints! The servers were very friendly and helpful in helping make selections. They have a large variety of tap and bottled beers. There is also outdoor seating if you wish to partake. Pros: Local spot, low key, casual, great food, great selection of beer, friendly staff Cons: multiple servers for 1 table, gets a little confusing more

The WORST service 8/30/2008

I've been here a few times over the past few months b/c I really tried to like the place because the food is affordable and I live somewhat nearby - but it has been a consistently bad experience. All of the employees (ESPECIALLY the bartenders, with maybe the exception of one) are terrible. They seem bothered to have to serve you and are just downright rude if you're not to their liking. Absolutely not recommending this place to anyone - in fact, telling everyone I know to stay away from it. Much, much better bars around the Atlantic Ave area. Service is key guys, so maybe you should understand why your bar never gets packed on a Friday or a Saturday night. Pros: Great Area (but seek better bars in the area) Cons: Service, Service, Service more

Mediocre 7/20/2008

A great location and the great beer are nullified by uninteresting food - poorly executed - and bad service. I was in this establishment for twenty minutes before I got my beer. My companion had to ask for hers a second time. When that finally arrived it was fully one third head and just plopped down on the table like it was our fault it took so long. The odd thing is that they weren't even busy. I live right around the corner and would love for this place to be likable, but it just isn't. Pros: beer selection, location Cons: service, food more

Terrible Service - ruins the experience 7/14/2008

Totally agreed about the service from earlier posts. I live in the neighborhood and like the last reviewer wanted to love this bar - I was all set to enjoy my neighborhood watering hole...but the extremely rude bartender ruined it. I was there for the last time last night and was essentially insulted for asking for a pen. Pros: Good beer selection, great neighborhood Cons: terrible service more

Heartbroken - Solid Local Bar; consistently poor service 2/22/2008

Many of us dream of having our own local pub, like in the one in the old tv show, Cheers. Henry Street Ale House was that place for me, my husband and many of our friends. For many years we suffered through one insult after another by their wait staff (which changes often) because hey - the food was good and the beer was great. (A very good selection for a small bar.) BUT - on two occasions they just went too far - once the waitress picked an argument with my pregnant friend, and on another occasion the bartender picked a fight with my dad (who was not drinking) for no apparent reason. I desperately want to love this place - it's dark, cozy, and a real neighborhood place - but I just wish they would start over and get great staff. I am not asking for four star service - just a place where I can drink with friends and relatives without worrying about whether they will pick a fight with us. Please, please improve your service!! Pros: Beer Selection Cons: Service - terrible! more

Great neighborhood pub 1/17/2007

This is a cozy place to meet friends. I've always managed to get a table and the service is good. I love the relaxed atmosphere and the large beer menu. They've always got something new for me to try. Pros: Atmosphere, beer selection Cons: n/a more
