  Takes FOREVER for your food to get to the table and my order is usually wrong when I do eventually get it.. drinks are terrible and this place has a very rude staff.  What a shame, a good bar in Brooklyn would have been nice.

  Lousy. Period. Understaffed, EXTREMELY long wait for food even though all we ordered were a couple sandwiches, almost no presence by our waitress, and an unusually large number of tables needing to be bussed.
  
  I gave the place 2 stars because:
  1.  The food wasn't bad at all
  2.  The beer selection was better than usual
  
  I will never return. Ever.

  Solid place.. Especially for Brooklyn.
  
  In town staying on the lake for a few days and decided i needed to get out for a bit and find a place with actual beer to drink.. not bud and garbage like that.
  
  Dad tells me this place is big on Michigan beers so off we went.
  
  They had a nice little selection of good craft brews.  We all decided to grab a sandwich and all of us were happy..  I had the grilled cheese with the feisty feta sauce.. good stuff.
  
  I didn't get much "feisty" out of that sauce but it was still tasty..
  
  Def a great place to check out if you enjoy craft beer  are ever around this town.

  I grew up in Brooklyn, and Shady's Tap Room doesn't feel like it belongs in Brooklyn, yet it does at the same time.
  
  My family and I went for dinner one night. The interior is a mix of exposed brick, painted pipes and new wood panels and tables. I was impressed by the atmosphere. It was casual but oddly upscale for Brooklyn. The tables don't have the best chairs, but they are comfortable enough. I thought the layout was strange and there were too many hi-top tables. Despite this preferences, I loved the interior. I liked the large wood bar with the wooden liquor rack behind it.
  
  The menu is not huge. It's mostly sandwiches, salads and pizza. We ordered two pizzas, the Shady's Signature and a regular pizza. I thought both were excellent. The Signature was very unique with chicken and a blend of cheeses and spice. I loved both pizzas. My parents didn't care for the Signature but really liked the regular pizza. My sister had the deep dish pizza at another time and said it was so filling she could only eat one piece.
  
  The real stars of Shady's are the taps. I believe they have 12 and they're adding more. They only serve local Michigan beers and it was a delight to see such a large sample of Michigan beer since Michigan is becoming such a craft beer location. I can't remember all of them but there was variety from several different brewers and types of beer.
  
  The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and fast.
  
  Overall, I thought this was a great place and I hope it succeeds. Brooklyn isn't a big place, but it was busy when I was there.
  
  If you're in the area and looking for good pizza and beer check it out.
