    Long and high quality draft list that rotates frequently. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Sophisticated, trendy atmosphere. Crowded on weekend nights. Quiet early on weekdays. Food too!

    The only place north of Herald Square (in Manhattan obvs) to drink craft beer. And in case you missed the latest Other Half can release, well...

    Best beer bar in NYC. Cocktails on tap and a cool wine selection. Excellent food too (try the wings)! Love everything about this place!

    Awesome bar, very cool corner lot buildout, with dark woods and light tiles, and a simple menu with top of the line options

    As Is sports an ever-changing menu of interesting craft beers and always has great sours and IPAs, better than average bar food, a handful of natural wines, and good draft cocktails by Brandon Duff.

    Brilliant beer selection, almost exciting! Prices correspond mind you! Served in wine glasses, either full or half pours. But all beer is high ABV. Only downside I found was there's only 1 bathroom.

    Cons: Bit bro-y and loud. Pros: the food is great, the beer and wine are reasonably priced and a good selection, and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

    Best craft beer bar, period. Menu has something for everyone, and is always changing. The food is also top notch - try the nachos or fried chicken sandwich

    Really great craft beer selection, friendly bartenders. Mac and cheese and chips and guacamole also tasty. Cocktails just ok though.

    They have cocktails on tap, thank you very much. The beer list is intentionally thought out and they have enough options to stay awhile but not get overwhelmed and indecisive.

    Great place for craft beer lovers. 20 taps with various brewer's hard to find wares. They have a book of a beer menu you can pore over but be warned; they don't have the bottles lining the wall 4 sale

    Cocktails were fantastic. Typical NYC attitude. Great beer selection. Nachos huge, built to share, radish? It was good, meat or meatless? Probably would have picked meat!

    beer selection is good-ish (good for the area), but their prices are seriously inflated ($11 for 8oz) and they don't let you try before you buy. food was good, bartenders weren't the friendliest.

    Great all tap beer place. They might have 20 beers. Nothing terribly mind blowing in selection but a solid beer variety nonetheless.

    Deep beer list with eclectic offerings that you likely won't find elsewhere (or even here the next time you come by). Food offerings good but limited in selection.

    Great craft beer selection! If you’re trying to catch up with friends, it may be a little too loud.
