Cheap beer in Carroll Gardens
Carroll Gardens is a quiet, residential place to drink — Smith and Court Streets carry a handful of bars serving the surrounding blocks, with a beer-focused shop and a couple of old neighborhood rooms holding the bottom of the range. The list is short and the prices sit in a narrow band, without the dive floor or the rooftop ceiling that stretch other neighborhoods. Almost none of these bars publish a happy hour, so the listed price is what you should expect to pay; where a window exists it tends to be reported inconsistently, which the notes on the cards flag.
7 priced bars tracked · lowest listed price $4.00 · middle listed price $6.00. These prices are a starting point, not identical-pour comparisons: a listing may be a can, bottle, or draft. Check the note and source before traveling, especially for a time-limited special.
