Worst

This tiny little bar is very easy to miss, there's barely a sign outside for it. The decor is very furniture-I-found-on-the-street-chic, and the staff is laid back and friendly. ...

Worst Service, Overrated 8/21/2007

Spuyten Duyvil has a backyard and a selection of wine, beer, and cheese options. This is true. But it is also seriously overrated and has terrible service. Expect large crowds full of pretension, either yuppies who came all the way in from Manhattan to spend the day touring new condos or badly dressed hipster artistes, a tiny hunk of cheese for waaaay too much money, and frat boyesque bartenders who act like you are rude for placing an order with them. Pros: Backyard Cons: terrible service, over crowded, over priced more

Worth the short trek to Brooklyn 11/10/2006

Always seems to have one really nice 20 oz tap beer for $6. Great selection of bottles, although expensive. Staff is very friendly and will give recommendations. Delicious olives and cheeses as well. Love the atmosphere - kind of wish it was my apartment... Pros: Great beer and atmosphere Cons: A little pricey more

Beer Heaven 11/1/2006

The selection of beer is amazing. What keeps me coming back is the rotating selection of beers on tap. Knowing that there will always be a new, delicious beer on tap that you've never tried before is a great reason to come back to a bar. Plus, the bottle selection is amazing, with beers from all over the world. The cheeses are great, the staff friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Probably one of my favorite bars in the city. Pros: Beer selection, cheese, friendly people more

they just get it... 5/27/2005

can you imagine a bar that you can be an adult with taste? where strangers seem familiar just because they too have discovered this haven. the ale selection is always right on target and the the wines... the wines.... what can be said but yes! i can no longer imagine living a week without going to spuyten duyvil to see what treasure they have for me. and if dan could be cloned, i would vote yes! and the smell mentioned by a previous review was the christmas spiced wine that is treat. Pros: perfect ales, perfect cheeses, perfect wines more

The Duyvil is my friend 1/18/2005

This place is amazing. The vast array of beer and wines will make your head spin, considering you probably never heard of most of them. The bartenders are engaging, funny, and very sweet. I spazzed out and flipped over two beers, one practically empty, and they gave us two new ones (not cheap beers, mind you) for free. Be prepared to spend the cash here--it is worth every penny. Excellent cheese plates as well. I'm sad that the dorky Williamsburg 20-somethings have discovered this bar, but don't let that stop you. There is a pretty good mix of people here. Pros: excellent variety, great jukebox, nice bartenders more

Whats with that smell? 11/28/2004

Was here the day after Thanksgiving. Now Ive been here before and the staff has always been nice and helpful, the beer selection is astounding, music and decorations (especially the old maps of England and Germany) are cool, BUT WHAT IS UP WITH THAT SMELL? It was this really bad sour smell I couldnt identify. I would have stayed longer if it wasnt for that. Also the hipster doofuses which unfortunately permeate the Williamsburg scene were especially annoying, particularly the ones in the front that gave this smug look at those of us who didnt wear ""the uniform"". Pros: Beer, Decor/Music, Staff Cons: , Patrons more

Rock the Duyvil 10/11/2004

Spuyten Duyvil is the best bar I've ever been to. Huge beer selection, seldom mentioned JUKEBOX with rotating eclectic tunes, and cool people working there. Great atmosphere and a ""must visit"" no matter where you're from. Pros: Beer selection, Jukebox selection, staff more

Cute 1/30/2004

Cute little place on the outskirts of Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. Hard to find if you don't know where it is. Belgian bottled beers can be found in abundance, as can nice sake and decent wines. Not much in the way of food unless you like bread, cheese and pate, but the overall atmostphere is very warm and euro-cafe like. Pros: friendly service, interesting design Cons: , small, no hard liquor more

we like beer 1/11/2004

only beer/wine bar in area to fully exploit the lack of full liquor license by offering a wide variety of Belgium, German, and French, etc. beer at various temperatures...good wine as well by the glass or bottle. Con: Despite good tipping, buybacks are appartently nonexistant. Pros: great beer, good wine, meat, cheese, cake Cons: lights too bright, no buybacks, can be expensive more
