The KBH
“All in all, Koelner Bierhalle is great and will surely only get better once the kinks have been worked out.”
“It's very dark
This place has only been open a week so there are still a few kinks but I believe this will be a great success.”
“There were rows after rows of benches to seat on, a large bar and a very wide projector screen hanging in front of the hall.”

This is a new twist on a Bavarian style Biergarten/Hall. It is a very large place, with a big bar space and rows of long tables with benches. It doesn't overly push the faux authentic like you would get at say the midtown Bierhaus. They have a pool table and many other bar style games to play around the outside of the main hall.
The beer selection is pretty good, with your standard Hofrbrauhaus and other German selection along with a pretty good sized craft beer list on draft. Prices are reasonable, with a normal draft being $5.
I'll be back here for drinks and games.
As far as a bar, it's a bar….a really really really big bar. As far as a beer hall, egh. I guess? I mean, it sorta looks like one. Not really. Kinda maybe sorta. Ugh I have no idea what's happening here. But it's big, loud, and serves beer so maybe that's what makes it a beer hall? I'm not sure where the line is when it comes to beer gardens that aren't quite in Park Slope but basically are in Park Slope, ok it's in Park Slope. Ok fine, it's a big bar that serves a decent Kolsch or two and welcomes drinking while board gaming – for all that I'm appreciative. Otherwise, not much to write home about here. It's a loud garage with long benches and lots of TVs and arcade games. That pretty much makes it a sports bar in my book. But maybe I'm just a stickler for tradition?
I have a tendency to love beer halls like this one because they're just so great for bigger groups. Tucked away on a less popular street, the KBH hides itself behind a curtain. Once you're past, you've entered a large, open, German-style beer hall (think Oktoberfest tents, but… not in Germany). With typical bar games such as jenga, a great beer selection, a large screen TV in the back of the hall that can be viewed from any seat in the hall, and a decent snack menu (pretzels, anyone?!), I can see myself coming here every weekend.
The only thing I can't understand about this place is that it's cash only. Sure, there's an ATM in the bar itself, but being a place where you'll be buying a round of drink for everyone in a group and potentially putting it all on one tab, it's annoying that you've got to fork up $100 in cash.
You walk into what appears to be a large catering-type hall lined with picnic style tables. There are games lining the sides of the room, including a pool table and a beer pong game.
We ordered several appetizers including:
-Soy chicken wings are amazing! So deliciously juicy and flavorful!
Def highly recommend!
-The pretzel was not only odd shaped but disappointing. A part of it was puffy and the remainder was thin and kinda crunchy…disappointed (I love bavarian pretzels!) It as served with a beer cheese.
Overall, this is a cool place to come chillax and I look forward to going again soon!
KBH Beer Hall is awesome. There's plenty of seating, they take reservations for big parties, the drinks are decent, there's tons of arcade games, and even live music.This is an awesome place to hang out on any day or night when you just want a casual get together nearby. I'm a beer drinker, so I can appreciate a place with revolving taps and bottles–it's hard to get bored. Although it's hard for me to digress from my beloved ginger beer and Moscow mules!
The only thing not awesome? When they confused my friend's tab with another Asian person's tab because one of them was named "Wu" and the other one was named "Woo." You'd think they would check which Wu/Woo was ordering, but I get that that happens. No racial hard feelings.
This place was a hidden gem found in park slope, that I never knew existed! A group of my friends and I came one Saturday night around 10pm. The variety of beers they have is insane, they literally have a beer to satisfy anyone's taste, along with a full bar.
They also have a stand in the back where you can order food such as hotdogs, corndogs, bratwurst, fries and etc.
The place was a lot of fun and was better than I expected! Can't wait to go back
I was really randomly surprised by this bar in Park Slope right by the Barclays Center – where did it come from? It's so big, it felt like it should be in a different part of the city. Anyways, it was also fairly empty on a Friday night, so definitely a good spot for groups. Unfortunately it's cash only and they only serve two wines on tap – I get that it's a beer hall, but come on, give the non beer-drinkers who are there with friends a little more options. Still, I had fun and I loved the chicken sandwich I had from Asia Dog at the back, so 4 stars it is! This will definitely be a go-to before Barclays center events.
We had a low-key birthday lunch here this past Sunday from 12-2pm. Loved the large space inside and the fact that even though it's a beer hall, they have some excellent eats provided by Asia Dog in the back (which DOES accept credit card. The bar also accepts credit cards now with a minimum purchase). Being a Park Slope, this place is super kid friendly (even selling $3 juice box drinks alongside the brews, haha) and has a ton of kids' toys and games along a shelf. The adults had fun playing air hockey and the basketball shooting game. It was exactly what we were looking for: lots of space, relaxed atmosphere, kid friendly, and good food and drinks. Would definitely to large parties and people with kids.
