Goldenrod (CLOSED)

Toast to Brooklyn's brewing past at this Carroll Gardens craft-beer bar from South Brooklyn Pizza owner James McGown. Located in the 19th-century home of the Otto Huber Brewery bar—Goldenrod was the brand of beer Otto's produced—the 75-seat brew den features 20 beers on tap, including a private-label pilsner from Brooklyn Brewery and a Goldenrod Ale from Olde Saratoga Brewing Company. At the salvaged 1893 dark-wood bar, you can also find cocktails made with Brooklyn spirits, including moonshine from Breuckelen Gin. Pub grub includes three burgers (Debragga's dry-aged rib eye, buffalo and beef), each served on a house-baked onion brioche, as well as individual pies from South Brooklyn Pizza (quail egg with speck and mushrooms). In the warm months, grab a soft pretzel and a cold one in the garden.
