The Custom House in Brooklyn Heights
The Custom House is a warm, welcoming pub on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, built around a long classic marble bar with a fireplace and couch area alongside. It pours a large selection of local and imported drafts and bottles, an extensive bourbon and scotch list, wines by the glass, and specialty cocktails, and a trio of flatscreens carries live sports.
The kitchen turns out American and European-influenced pub fare, from burgers, wings, and flatbreads to Irish staples like shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash, served in a spacious dining room, out on the front patio, or in the shaded back garden. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3:30pm, and the kitchen stays open late every night.
What to Expect
The Custom House does not publish a set happy hour, so we are not listing specific discounted hours or prices. That said, it is an unfussy neighborhood pub with a deep beer list and reasonable Brooklyn Heights pricing, and the front patio and back garden make it an easy spot for a casual pint. Call ahead at 718-643-6000 to check for any current drink specials.
