Best Wings in Greenpoint
Master Critic Review
The Brew Inn
8.1
The Brew Inn is a neighborhood gastropub where a serious burger and a strong craft-beer list share space with black-peppery buffalo wings. It’s the move when you want a sit-down bar setting with wings that are hefty enough to count as dinner alongside a pint.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable before 6pm, tougher during peak dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual; jeans and tees are standard, light polish fits the gastropub vibe.
Noise level: Moderate; bar energy but conversation at tables is easy without shouting.
Weekend wait: 20–35 minutes during peak hours; bar seats fill first.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; seating is immediate.

Vegetarian options: Yes—pub salads, veggie sides, and non-meat mains appear; wing sauces are vegetarian-friendly but wings are not.
Vegan options: Limited—expect salads and fries; mains are minimal without modification.
Gluten-free options: Partial—gluten-free friendly items like salads and some mains; confirm wing breading and sauces with staff.

Consider Alternatives If: You want specialty wing styles (Korean, smoked, or extreme heat) or a fast counter-service experience.
