Salooned.com highly recommends this bar.  The Black Horse Pub brings just enough of the Brit cool into Brooklyn to make this bar work.  One of the first things you notice is the large open front windows opening up onto 5th avenue and 16th street, there isn’t too many bars in Park Slope that encourage a little natural light. Brick walls decorated with prints of various British icons, high tin ceilings and the deceptive depth of the bar gives the bar a nice open and friendly feel to it .

This bar has to be one of the more sociable bars in Brooklyn; everyone from the the bar staff to the patrons, to the owners are all very friendly.   If you are a football (soccer) fan, then this is one of the few bars in the area that will show every Premiership game on their large screen TV (game schedule can be found on their website)

For such a new bar, the Black Horse Pub looks to be doing things right.  It has gained a loyal following in a very short time and with the constant tweaking, this is one bar that could help define the style of South Slope nightlife.

What the others are saying.

Soccer fans, get your pint-drinking hats on: Black Horse Pub is a handsome neighborhood spot filled with high pressed-tin ceilings, exposed brick and a long wooden bar, offering a full menu of English, Irish and American grub, as well as a full English breakfast when matches are on, which roughly translates to “all the live soccer you can handle” (on multiple flat screens). There will also be a traditional Sunday Roast, featuring Yorkshire Pudding and all the trimmings. via Metromix

Who needs bells and whistles? This British pub with Brooklyn style (bare bricks, pressed-tin ceiling, windows opening onto the sidewalk) is an unpretentious hangout for South Slope neighborhood folks looking to unwind with a pint and sports on the telly. The 16 taps include microbrews and imports like crisp Radeberger (priced at $5 a pint), plus a well-poured Guinness and Belgian standout Delirium Tremens ($6). The Black Horse is busiest on weekend morns, when soccer fans cheer on teams like Chelsea and Manchester. via Citysearch
