The Corcoran GroupApril 22, 2014One of our favorite Midtown afterwork spots. We definitely recommend ordering the delicious Banana Bread Beer - but if that isn't your style, go for the sampler and try a few!
Upvoted 3 weeks ago- Beril EsenDecember 29, 2017Great craft beer location for beer aficionados! Cider creek winter cinnamon is the better cider option. Lots of delicious and fairly inexpensive food varieties considering midtown prices.
Hang out on the couches in the back atrium, put whatever you want on the TV, and flip the switch on the fireplace. Enjoy.
Michelle CDecember 16, 2014Wish the server had pushed the flight. There's 1 for beer and 1 for whiskey. When I asked for recommendations she didn't mention it. I would have spent more money. I'm definitely going back to try it!
Paige CJuly 25, 2018What an awesome bar. Go allll the way to the back room. The ambiance is amazing. Beautiful lights and a more quiet back bar. Great place for a date!- Warm, cozy and well lit with plenty of crafty brew options on tap and a glass-covered open space in the back. Solid choice.
- $10 lunch special with a beer/soda is an awesome midtown deal, especially with what they have on tap. Great beer and whiskey selection and they have sports on the TV to boot.
Thomas ZetzscheJuly 16, 2016Loads of draft beers, changing frequently. Oh yes they have Jever from the bottle only but still. We are in New York not in Ostfriesland. No chilled glasses though.
A L E XAugust 20, 2014Wings were absolutely bangin, little pricer than what I'd go for, but it's midtown. Craft Beer list is exceptional. Service is great!
UntappdAugust 17, 2013Located on 55th and 2nd, this small little bar has tons of taps and great food. There is a special private area in the back with lounge chairs and TVs. Great selection!
Stephan BeckJune 11, 2014Try the flight of any 4 beers (5oz) for 12$. It's worth it and helps you navigate through the awesome draft beer menue.
Brew YorkJuly 1, 2013This once-generic Midtown Irish pub has transformed into a welcoming craft beer bar for the after-work crowd, thanks to a renovation, 24+ tap lines, and a beer-centric food menu.
Jennifer JMarch 30, 2019Found myself in the area so dropped by for happy hour... it was packed, but good service and good HH options.
Meg FarmerApril 28, 2015Was shocked to find a laid back, fun scene in midtown. Feels like you're downtown for sure. This is the spot to go to when you're stuck in this neighborhood.
Awesome spot with 3 rooms - all with fabulous ambience. Menu is filled with variety and gluten free and vegan options.
Ray LopesAugust 23, 2016Great beer selection. For food, I recommend the delicious wheat ale steamed mussels!
Sarah CliffordFebruary 22, 2013Such a cute bar. I'm so happy it opened. Great place to sit at communal tables. Great craft beers and good music. Great place to hang after work.- Stephan BeckJune 13, 2014You have to try the Weyerbacher Double Simcoe (Double IPA) and "The Bruery Sucre"... The last one almost tastes like sherry. Incredible.
Clara McauleyJuly 23, 2014The meatloaf is awesome! Try their beer flights...a great way to try out new beers! Staff are great! Will definitely be back!
Leanne ZJanuary 7, 2016Been here a few times for group parties in the back. Once for an open bar beer and wine deal! The back bar is super cute and great for groups.
Giovanni D'PalmaFebruary 9, 2016Great spot with an awesome staff and beer selection. Definitely worth visiting, catch the live music on Sunday.
Haya Al DossaryAugust 10, 2015Excellent service, the atmosphere was super chill, I enjoyed my beers 👌🏻
Joshua GirardFebruary 15, 2015Great place for all sorts of beers, can be busy and slow in service but the beer selection and ambiance make up for it.
The beer list is great and so is the food - try the chicken club sandwich with red peppers...the pork belly is also very tasty
Andrew CJanuary 9, 2018So many fancy, craft beers - nothing mainstream... got some starters, tasty and flavourful but none of were filling enough!!!!
Nicole ReganApril 19, 2016Great casual place to grab drinks. Warm lighting, music at the perfect level to still hold conversation.
Leah W.December 23, 2012Get the Banana Bread Beer and the Founders Breakfast Stout! Great service and tons of fun!
Able ParrisJanuary 5, 2014A pretzel and a beer is a welcomed snack (with a cool, relaxed vibe) after a visit to MoMA.
Amanda SymeJune 24, 2016Fantastic Happy Hour which goes on until 8pm. Waiters are fun. Very cheap and the food is tasty.
Katie PitreSeptember 6, 2014Beautiful spacious bar, good music, friendly bartenders. Bonus: ladies restroom smells like gardenias!
AnissaApril 6, 2016Huge draft selection 🍻 and ample seating. Nice back area that can be reserved for large groups
Candace ChangFebruary 17, 2013Just opened, chill new spot. You can actually have a conversation with friends. Try the banana bread beer. Amaaazingg
Great for a beer, romantic seating in the back- green room ambiance with a fireplace
TommyJune 12, 2018Quality varied food menu. Excellent service & craft beers. Grab the lunch special.
Great bar. Awesome draft and bottle selection. One of the better beer bars of manhattan
WINGS & BEER! Amazing spot for a meal out. It’s well priced and delicious!- Elliot LonkerAugust 4, 2016Excellent selection of IPA's and a casual laid back atmosphere. Reasonably priced too!
Valerie SJanuary 7, 2016Great space and atmosphere. Extensive beer list, and fun for a casual happy hour.
Carl FigueiredoDecember 16, 2016Phenomenal craft beer selection. Vibe is a bit corporate however. Nice place for happy hour.
Chris SetianApril 8, 2014The beer is not too cold. It is as pleasantly, refreshingly cold as a majestic river running through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Jeff SobelNovember 30, 2013Good food, great beer selection, but beer is served way too cold! Order two at the same time, so the second one will be the right temperature when you drink it.
Sean FlemingOctober 1, 2014Large selection of draft beers. Nice hidden garden room in the back. Mainly an after work crowd.
Andrei BelovJuly 12, 2013Awesome draught selection and not too packed due to location. Make sure to check out the back room.
AliciaAugust 23, 2014Decent burger and large beer list on tap and also bottled. Very cute covered patio in the back.
