Description
Brew geeks descend upon this hops heaven, winner of the 2008 Eat Out Award for Best Beer Bar, for boutique ales and 28 hard-to-find drafts (like Dales Pale Ale and Allagashs Belgian-style Double). The clubby room features windows that open onto bustling Bleecker Street. Late afternoons and early evenings are ideal for serious sippers enjoying plates of Murrays Cheese, while the after-dark set veers dangerously close to Phi Kappa territory.
Hours
Daily 11:30am–4am.
This is without question or reservation the beer bar of beer bars. While there are many that I am proud to recommend, this one is the platinum standard. Half the officionado's of the beer world have come thru this place on event nights. I have had hundreds (maybe thousands) of beers in my life. In any other bar I would know the beer list cold. In this place I never cease to be amazed at how they continuously keep coming up with things that are surprises (mostly wonderful) even to me.
