Since the
trend of crafted beers picked up in namma ooru , the scene is getting
busier and better with a lot of craft beer setups coming up across the
city .
And Brewklyn surely
is one of the feature in the cap , only a year’s existence into
the business and has garnered fame and pulls a big crowd
Strategically located in Bangalore east in HRBR layout ,Kalyan nagar .
The
area is Teeming with youngsters and office goers and in close proximity
to many residential areas like Hennur and Kammanahalli .

Review :
Décor
/ Ambience : As the logo and name suggests the décor & character of
the place seemed to be derived from the popular neighbourhood
of newyork , Brooklyn .
With
graffiti and colourful abstract walls decors , pool and foosball table
right in front of the bar , exposed brickwalls , Georgian bars glass
partition separating the indoor seating to alfresco seating and other
such elements make it very apparent that American pub scene is the
concept for their interiors very much in line with the logo and name
which I loved .All this gives it a fun & casual vibe to the place
making one want to hang out there much longer than usual just like we
did !
Service
: what I noticed was in comparison to the crowd , the staff seemed less
yet they were able to manage the tables pretty well
Beers :
Disclaimer : Not being a beer enthusiast cannot really review .
So Few words as a layman only !
1. Belgium
Wit – Recommended for people who don’t enjoy alcohol and in specific
beers as much . This one was extremely light and had a fruity
aftertaste and I liked this best
2. Ale Capone – New England IPA – I found this to be fruity yet a bit bitter
3. Biggie – German lager – This one had a malty & toasty flavour
4. Woody Alen –
British Pala Ale – Again not the one to pick if you are newly trying
out beers , with hints of spices and honey in it yet husky and bitter
5. Iron Mike – dark wheat Porter – has flavours of chocolate and coffee and to my surprise I liked this one
6. Saison
–I think it had hints of Mango in it , sweet and fruity to taste , well
blended and light though the alcohol % said to be higher than the
other available beers

Drawing
parallel here from Brooklyn again , where the population and food is
very diverse and from different cultures similarly brewklyn food menu is
a varied mix of western cuisines and indian food not sure if its
intentionally done to go with the theme or its based on what appeals to
the crowd .
Coming
to the Starters , they were the star here , so many options and
everything I tasted was good . Restaurants with microbrewery,
the starters are critical and Brewklyn has got that going well .
Pizza and fish and chips were very well done
However biryani needs some improvement as I found it to be bit heavier on the masala , probably it works well with beer .
If you are there more for food then you can skip the biryani and indulge in the amazing range of starters
I
particularly enjoyed the cheese cake , not too dense nor light . it has
a perfect balance of cheesiness to it , In the recent times this was
the best cheese cake I have had .
Tips to bloreans :
- Brewkly has a vast and changing menu , so you can head here more and once and not get bored and added advantage is the large space so you can hang out with a crowd and not feel claustrophobic
- Great place for vegetarians and people who love to try variety of starters more than the mains
