TLDR
Cozy Clinton Hill pub w/ lively atmosphere, must-try popcorn with Irish cheddar, and Guinness stew.
Details
Hartley's is a cozy Clinton Hill pub renowned for its lively atmosphere and Irish cuisine [1]. While small in size, it frequently accommodates large groups enjoying Guinness and offers a low-key setting perfect for dates or quiet evenings [1]. A unique standout is their mountain-sized popcorn, generously topped with Irish cheddar, which pairs perfectly with a pilsner [1].
Caveats
The pub can become very crowded, which some long-time patrons miss from when it was easier to get a seat.
