The Brew Inn

The South meets north Brooklyn at this Greenpoint restaurant, serving eclectic pub grub. Miami transplant Amy Cunningham—who put in time at the James Beard Award–nominated Yardbird Southern Table & Bar—draws influences from her culinary roots and her new neighborhood's Polish community. Down-home classics like a pulled-pork sandwich and shrimp po' boy share menu space with grilled pierogi and a kielbasa Reuben. Beer is all New York: Hops-heads can choose from 30 Empire State brews, including Fire Island Beer’s Lightouse Ale and Captain Lawrence Brewing Company’s Liquid Gold. Beer taps are repurposed as door handles at the 50-seat spot, which is also decorated with antique lampposts, triangular mirrors and a black tin ceiling.
