I was a little intimidated to walk into American Cheez at first - I think because they have a lot of regulars there, so if you're new it's a little daunting at first. But I've been in there a few times and I like it a lot! Drinks are good, the bartenders are nice, the pizza is really good and the garlic knots are fantastic. American Cheez can be great for dinner, or for a quick drink, and I'm sure also good for many drinks. I'll be back.

Best bar in Brooklyn! Great bartenders and pinball in back! The pizzas are great too!

Yes yes yes! This place was very fun and it's a good spot to take a friend out and catch up. We ordered a large pie half cheese and pepperoni and OMG! That pizza was FANTASTIC! It was so cheesy and the sauce was amazing! I also had a beer. Greg took care of us and gave us great friendly service. They also have free funny postcards as souvenirs. TIP: Make sure you come in during certain hours no later than 10pm if you want Pizza. I believe they have a time when the kitchen closes.

It's a standard sports bar where the locals hang. Came on a Sunday afternoon and just got beers. There's no table service. You order at the bar. Water is self-served. They have pizza and garlic knots which smelled good. Decor is American vintage.

Great neighborhood spot for a drink and some pizza! A ton of locals, very chill vibes

How have I not reviewed this little gem? American Cheez is a great dive bar on a more quiet part of 7th avenue. They have televisions that could be playing a sports game or some random movie. Who knows. They have games to play. They also just have a great vibe. Don't expect to come here for fancy cocktails. They have one, yes one, martini glass. If you're special enough they will let you drink out of it. It's a very unpretentious place. I saw another Yelper give this place one star, because they no longer give our free pizza with a pint of beer. That might be the dumbest thing I ever read on Yelp and I have read lots of dumb things on Yelp. Did the free small pizza make the place go from one star to five stars? Did American Cheez release COVID 19? As if it's their fault. Like WTF?!?! Well you can now pay six whole dollars for a small pizza and a little more if you want a larger one. I assure you, neither is going to break the bank AT ALL. Are either the best pizza Brooklyn has to offer? Of course not, but it's a tasty bar treat and still super cheap. The service and staff are awesome. Great people working here for sure. I highly recommend stopping on by if in the neighborhood. Chill with friends. Watch something. Play a game. Enjoy a pint. Buy a personal pizza that costs almost nothing.

American Cheez is still a legit hometown dive bar that survived the pandemic through a successful fundraising campaign because it's so beloved and, unlike some jerks on Yelp who would rather give a business one star because they're not literally giving away free food anymore, I will double down on my five star reviews of this place. Yes the pizza is no longer free with a pint, but the prices are still insanely cheap and the pizza offered is actually better than the previous iteration. You can now get a personal pie or a large, toppings are still cheap as heck, and they offer garlic knots now too. Actually, let me rephrase that: they offer the best garlic knots I've had in NYC in like a goddamn decade. They're dripping with olive oil and loaded with garlic and I legitimately think about them every day. I almost wish they had take out for the food alone, honestly. Do not skip these garlic knots. Anyhow, the bar is as good as it was pre-pandemic and yes inflation is real but this place is not gouging you in any sense of the word so stop being a giant baby and accept that American Cheez rules. Or yknow, just don't come if you suck.

American gladiator posters as table art? Classic rock and alternative 90's soundtrack to my high school years at just the right volume coming out of their speakers? No nonsense drinks made by a no nonsense bartender? Yes, yes, and yesssss! Some of my favorite dive bars have fallen victim to this pandemic, but American Cheez is still kickin! If I were a local to the neighborhood, I would be making this my Thursday night spot to decompress from the work week. Definitely worth the commute to experience some time warp TLC.
