This is a Scottish bar no matter what Google Maps will have you believe. All the staff are great, they have 9/10 Guinness and a full selection of great drinks and whiskey. There is a large garden, they have live piano an electric crowd and what else do you need, visit THIS PLACE. Oh, and for the British and Irish they have an extensive selection of crisps.
Best Dirt Earl’s in the city!! Ask the bartender for a Dirty Earl and I promise you will not be let down. From bottom to top: cider, white/wheat bear/cider. Talk about a vibe. SCRRRUMMPTIOUSSSSS!!!
Nice atmosphere, friendly. You can sit and enjoy your drinks while having a nice conversation with mates.
Nice place, clean, good service.
Great backyard for summer.
Amazing choice of beers.
Scottish pub-style bar in Williamsburg. Has probably the best Guinness on draft that you’ll find in the entire city. The owner has constructed the bar specifically around the perfect pour and it does make a difference. Can get quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights.
Lively atmosphere. Good selection of drinks.
Has the cream ale and zwickle, was awesome! Great music - 80s synth pop and a cool Scottish atmosphere
The atmosphere is chill and the drinks are affordable. They have lots of seating a huge outdoor area, but there is no music outside.
Can confidently say this will be my new watering whole. Perfect amount of dodgey yet familiar (and a hot bartender)
Ok this place is a vibe. By which I mean it feels like home. It’s a little too small, there’s a group of lads in the beer garden, they serve sausage rolls. I mean, I didn’t get one bc they ran out but I suspect they are good. Also friendly staff and fast service. 🤷♀️
The Iconic Iona! This bar has been in Williamsburg longer than any other and it's just great. It's just a bar but it's solid in every way. Great vibe, happy people and one of the few places that always has Old Speckled Hen on tap. Thanks for always being here Iona, and always being great
Been coming here for 16 years. Super cozy with friendly service. Proper pints and whiskeys. A standout in a changed neighborhood. Great backyard, all the footie you could want. Best Guinness in NYC. XOXOXO
I ♥️ Iona. A classic European pub with a great selection of beers, spirits & crisps! They have solid choices for the wine drinkers and a classic cocktail menu. All of the bartenders are great and are well seasoned. Welcome to a slice of euro/Brooklyn! Steer clear of any negative reviews, they are clearly not reading the prices of drinks when they order. Iona is a staple in Williamsburg. Simply a great pub to have casual pints and shoot the breeze.
Iona is such an amazing little bar. Whether it is for a chilled beer in the afternoon, or to watch the football (soccer) the atmosphere always fits right!!
Staff are friendly, beer selection is great (has a few UK classics), and shows most UK sports fixtures. Would recommend if you need a place to watch.
Nice lively place great friendly bartender

Service is so great here. The vibe is casual and local. Nice place to hang out with friends especially in the backyard on nice evenings. People play ping pong there. It looks fun but I didn’t play.
Lots of local craft beers. But I love the aperol spritz the bar tender made for me. And there is a big jug of water where you can serve yourself so you don’t have to stand at the bar for water.
I came with 5 people and we found a nice table outside in the back. We had a great time. Would go again.
Dope backyard super friendly bartenders
