This German spot is the first brewpub to open in Manhattan in over two years. The big space will pack in crowds, but it's beer poured fresh from serving tanks that'll keep beer lovers coming back.
Patrick Donagher has done it again. 30 rotating tap lines at two bars, growler fills, well-executed food, and a big backyard. Grab an NY brew ($5 from 11-7) and marvel at the bad-ass draft system.
In its short history, this bar has hosted more visiting brewers than you can count. Rarities, weekly special events, and a huge cask and bottle list make this one of the most lauded beer bars in NYC.
Recently expanded to two floors and a kitchen, this spot delivers on its newly-edited promise: Bourbon. Beer. Food. Rock.
What started as a neighborhood beer bar in 2011 has turned into a full-blown, knock-you-on-your-ass craft beer bar with lots of rare brews rotating constantly.
Check out their incredibly selection of local and American craft beer, but watch the ABV - too many big beers will seriously reduce your ability to play the first round of Q-Bert or Marble Madness.
While boasting a great bottle selection and over a dozen beers for growler fills, there's another great benefit of this beer shop: you can drink your beer on the premises, too!
From the man behind Evil Twin Brewing, this temple to beer in Greenpoint soared RateBeer.com's rankings to become among the world's top beer bars within weeks of opening.
Nearly every Wednesday, this bar opens its taps to a single brewery with an epic list of mainstream and rare beers. Don't miss the food, either - especially the grilled cheese and tomato soup!
This new Astoria spinoff of a neighboring liquor store specializes in exactly what you'd expect: great craft beer and cheese. Head to the restroom for an udderly amusing mural.
