Daniel ADecember 18, 2016Everything. Today I came for brunch and the scrambled eggs and the fried chicken with gravy and a egg on top were so good. The waiters and bartenders are friendly and helpful. My favorite spot in LIC.
Brand new brewery in Sunnyside, lots of outdoor seating and soon will have indoor
Joseph KennedyJune 11, 2022Wide open taproom! 18 drafts (incl flights), bunch of 4 packs, happy hours, teacher appreciation, jumbo TV, pinball/games, trivia night, live music/comedy, and on-site food vendors. Kid + dog friendly
I like doing brunch here. $30 all you can drink (for a subset of the craft beer selection), with some delicious food. The chicken and biscuits is quite tasty, and the wings are juicy and flavorful.
theaDecember 27, 2016Absolutely love this place. It's excellent for groups and they made hosting my birthday party super easy. There's a huge upstairs area and the beer selection is 💯🔥 (plus the poutine is p good too).
I swear by this place. As a homebrewer, the beer is always top notch. Service is very solid, with the environment is relaxed and flat-out enjoyable. They also host your parties on the second floor!
It might look far away on a map, but this LIC bar is just one subway stop from Grand Central. And it's worth the trip for one of the best rotating lists of American and imported drafts in the city.

Love this local (close to work) hang out place. Always have different beers to try out. For me staffs are always friendly. Willing and able on not so event packed nights. Food is par above or better
Daily changes to their craft beer selection Ehi bc includes international beers. Also their sriracha peas are amazingly delicious and the place has two floors. Five stars!- The Corcoran GroupJanuary 2, 2014Head to the upstairs dining room where you'll be treated to awesome garlic fries and sriracha buffalo wings that you can enjoy in front of a brick fireplace.
Matthew FergusonNovember 17, 2018Cool vibe. Great selection of NY State beers. My only complaint is they didn’t have a good selection of hard ciders.
Time Out New YorkJune 11, 2013The breezy space is kitted out with wooden walls and benches, as well as a long bar down the middle; once you’ve settled in, begin the task of choosing from the rotating list of 28 brews. Read more
CompassMay 15, 2014Live music, an upscale European bar menu, and extensive ale selection -- 28 selections on tap and counting -- keeps the bi-level brewhouse buzzing come happy hour and weekends.
Among the finest bars in NYC, owner Patrick Donagher's devotion to ~30 rotating draft lines ensures that even the most hardcore beer lovers will find something new (and oftentimes, rare!) to try.
Ray LinAugust 22, 2012Rustic feel with long wooden tables tucked away in a corner of LIC. The garlic frites are terrific (share!) and the beer selection is golden (fav is the Left Hand Sawtooth).
Daniel AllardJune 2, 2018Amazballs beer selection, take your pants of and do the naked dance garlic fries and cool customers!
Tony XerriNovember 1, 2012Came here for the nacho and beer festival. Holy crap. Place is huge and the craft beer is stellar. Cute little outside area on the second floor just in case you need a breather.
Billy KeenlyAugust 24, 2014Projection screen for sporting events, and dozens of draught beers. Great place to have a small or medium sized event in LIC
JacLyn PagnottaApril 21, 2017Amazing food and beer options. Great after work hangout. Wish they were opened for lunch. The burger is insane!
Red & BrownAugust 8, 2017One of the best beer bars in the city. Always a solid rotating tap list and good pub grub.
Great draft beers. Never a bad time. Large communal table available. Easy to spark a Congo, amazing huh?
Great beer on tap and amazing dishes coming out of their kitchen. An educated staff properly poured drinks in a comfy space.
Winson WongFebruary 7, 2015Beers beers beers! 25 on tap. Super friendly and casual. Great big screens for sports!- We've come around on this Queens spot, which has matured into a bar with a stellar tap list, reasonably-priced craft beer, and great food... check out the patio upstairs!
Amanda SchneiderOctober 4, 2014Hidden gem in LIC. $30 brunch deal during football is awesome - just know it only goes until 3 (not 4pm like it says online).
Russell HirschornJuly 10, 2015Great off the beaten path bar. Beer and whiskey selection and the food is delish too
The garlic fries are top notch. Double fried, melts in your mouth, and more than enough to share. But you won't want to.
The best thing for groups here is ordering a bucket o'beer, choices are great and non of them are buds- Anna FrenkelAugust 28, 2012The garlic frites and jalapeno mac & cheese are amazing starters. The burgers are solid & super juicy so protect your lap.
Village VoiceJanuary 17, 2014Happy Hours start at 4:20 on the dot. On the weekends they offer all you can drink at brunch from 12-3pm.
UntappdJuly 27, 2012Nice location right off the 7 train, has 2 floors and and out door patio. Nice vibe and a fantastic beer list.
Ryan GallagherMarch 3, 2020Smallish Tap room with most of the lines dedicated to Alewife. A few for other breweries. Decent food.
Some of the best craft beer selection in the city. Frequently rotated and good happy hour specials
Nora GomezMarch 23, 2013Paradise for beer lovers, but more importantly: poutine topped with duck confit and fried egg. Omg.
Wings are really good. Good beer selection. Huge place so sometimes service is iffy.
Ben EversonSeptember 15, 2014Great craft beer selection. Check out the huge upstairs space. Get the burger.
Harry JacobsMay 28, 2016Huge craft beer selection on tap. Lots of beers I haven't seen elsewhere in NYC.
Always a new beer on tap. Don't forget to try the garlic fries.

"The home fries were fantastic & the chicken & waffles were also superb. Mimosas were standard, but I was a little disappointed by my Bloody Mary (Update: the Bloody Mary on my latest visit was great)."
Chris Davis - 9.1
