A core memory was created for me and my friends thanks to this place. We been coming here for 3 years and its absolutely the best . This is our escape place to settle down and enjoy life with good drinks and food. (Especially the Philly Cheesesteak) The service is great too like everything else If the owner ever retires, I'll buy the place to continue the legacy haha! That how good it is.

If you’re looking for a great local bar in Park Slope where you feel like family and get that classic Cheers-type vibe, this is it. The food is always great. My recommendation: try the fish tacos — they’re my go-to every time I stop in. Honestly, no matter what you order, it’s going to slap. The owners are awesome and the crew is the best — especially my guys Lorenzo and Steve, along with the lovely ladies behind the bar. No matter how long it’s been since my last visit, they always remember me and my drink. You really can’t beat that. Games are always on — baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, and fights. Been my go-to for years. Music is always on point. What more can you ask for? Check them out — you won’t be let down.

Stopped here during a trip with a friend in October. Cool vibe, good chicken panini/beer and the service was quick. They were playing different hockey games (which I don't mind as a Canadian) and switched to playoffs baseball when the game started.

Rare Full English Done (Almost) Right It’s almost impossible to find a proper Full English breakfast in Brooklyn anymore. But Black Horse Pub doesn’t just attempt it — they nearly nail it. I sat outside at a packed pub on a rainy day. The staff immediately wiped down the table and helped me connect to Wi-Fi — even typing the password in for me when I had trouble. That kind of service is unheard of these days. The wings were excellent — perfectly cooked, with a sweet-spicy sauce that didn’t overload on sugar. Drinks (Magners and a whiskey shot) arrived quickly, even during a full house. Now, the Full English. Eggs: perfect. Mushrooms: deeply flavorful. Black pudding: absolutely nailed it — earthy, balanced, rustic in the best way. Tomatoes and beans tied it all together into that rare kind of rich, savory balance that only a proper English breakfast can deliver. Only misstep? The sausage. Not a real British banger — more like a basic breakfast link. It knocks it down a bit. But honestly, in a borough where this dish barely exists, the effort and flavor still make it worth a strong 4.5 stars. Would absolutely come back. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a little UK comfort food in NYC.
