What To Expect At Little Brooklyn

Written by Karolina Firman

Little Brooklyn is a hipster-esque gastro-pub located in south-side Kingston. Its one of those pubs that’s a little hidden away, but is definitely worth a visit. It has the feel of trying to be cool, but its almost effortless you can see that they went to the effort to give it a good vibe, but it doesn’t feel like a ‘try-hard’.

Its going for a New York pub kind of feel, and as such it has an unusual décor with posters plastered all over the walls, and rustic looking tables and booths. It had a good atmosphere, with patrons of all genders and ages eating. You can get regular pub food, like a chicken schnitzel or a burger. But they also have vegetarian options, as well as somewhat fancier fare such as a delicious duck salad.

I had the chicken schnitzel, and it was really nice, the advantage of Little Brooklyn is that they give you a reasonable amount of food and don’t try to sway you with a mountain of meat. That being said the starter of polenta chips was crispy, and was accompanied by a great aioli dipping sauce. In addition to this, I shared a Pims cup with a friend, however they also have a great range of beers, (most of which are charmingly American themed), wines and cocktails.

For once, I was at a pub that offered live music, that was playing live music, and to honest it was really nice to have background music while I ate. It wasn’t too loud, and matched the theme of the pub, as it was earthy, rock-style guitar music (by a local artist called Chad Kruger).

All and all, I was a big fan of Little Brooklyn (although we did find it by accident). Great food, great atmosphere, great everything. I’m a big fan.
