About Us

The Bar in Gowanus is where the people who know go to drink. It’s not just a bar – it’s a town hall, a midnight gathering, a symposium. Founded by three friends, The Bar in Gowanus has become a local destination for English Premier League weekends and late-night conversations alike.

It’s a bar with sports, but not a sports bar: classic cocktails stirred right, a proper pint of Guinness poured slow, vinyl spinning, darts on the wall, draft beers worth coming back for, and a back patio that feels like a secret garden. We also host private functions, parties, and gatherings — the kind that feel as effortless as a night among friends.

It’s not a bar in Gowanus… it’s THE Bar in Gowanus.

A lively bar scene with many people socializing, some standing and some sitting at the bar, with dim warm lighting and string lights decorating the space.
