As the name suggests, pickles are the big draw at this restaurant and beer bar with an all-weather backyard. All the condiments and pickles are made in-house or sourced just around the corner, from the popular Brooklyn Brine. Lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch are served, and the all-vegetarian menu includes dishes like sourdough grilled cheese with pickled sweet peppers, smoked-tofu banh mi with homemade kimchi, and, of course, deep-fried pickles.
