I don't drink beer. I went because my coworkers where there. It's a pretty cool place. Seems more like for ppl wanting to watch the game. I might go back to try there drinks and food. FYI: It's 3 FLs

If you wish upon a star your dream will come true. Except if the star is really a meteoroid coming at you. Then you're screwed - unless you wished for death by meteoroid.

Got off the bus and walked over. Great beer, awesome bartender. Checked in with 4square and got a free shot when we ordered our pizza. This is our first favourite spot in NYC. #beerauthority #zenbanx

DNAinfo.com: Roof deck above the new craft beer bar is a surprising island of tranquility in one of the busiest parts of Midtown. Get there early to beat after work crowd. Won't break wallet.

Excellent beer selection. Lots of TVs to catch whatever sport you want. Recommended between 12pm and 6pm. Turns loud and disco-y at night which is less enjoyable. A bit overpriced. Not for everyone.

Located right near Port Authority - this two floor bar has a little something for everyone. It get's pretty loud and crowded after work, so get their early. Also has a roof deck in the summer time!

If you want good beer and a nice outdoor perch, head to the rooftop. If you want way more/better beer selection & want to people watch, stay downstairs and get by the window!
Stephanie P.July 19, 2013
Soooooooo many beers! 81 on tap, 102 bottles and 10 cans right now - ALL DIFFERENT!!! Awesome roof top area too. Get here early if you can for happy hour cuz it gets packed!

If you’re beer lover, get in and check th whole long list of draft beers. Appetizers are really good.

The long-awaited sister bar of Rattle-N-Hum is a godsend to Port Authority commuters. And with 80 beers on tap, a booming space, and a well-crafted food menu, you might actually WANT to go to Midtown.
Jeeleighanne DuboiusSeptember 22, 2018
The roof top is very nice. The music was good also.lots of stairs to get to the rooftop.
Nicholas VanderBorghNovember 11, 2012
For a whacked out spot with the weirdest people walking around this bar will be my favorite spot before I catch a bus. Tony the downstairs bartender was great. the braised shirt rib sandwich was grea

Service was slow but the food was delicious! Try the mussels, the perogies, the Mac and Cheese or the ravioli. All delicious! The Union Jack beer was amazing!

True to its name, the Port Authority-inspired brew house aims to please all manner of beer lovers, boasting 50-plus pours by the cask, tap, bottle, and can, or tasting flights.

Great place to grab a drink while waiting for your bus across the street. Great selection of craft beer, as well.

Beer Authority, get it? Because they have lots of beers and because it's right by Port Authority. Works on so many levels... $5 beer for Happy Hour

Tony the bartender on the first floor is a big Irish dude that loves Clifford Brown and knows the words to "My One and Only Love!"
Trond EngerSeptember 17, 2016
Friendly staff, but the bartender did not have a clue about serving craft beer. Lots of better places in NY for craft beer!
Arjumand BonhommeNovember 29, 2016
Beer selection is great, and there are enough appetizers to appeal to a variety of tastes.
Paul FortJune 5, 2013
Every tap beer contains 10% distilled bus oil from port authority. Nice to see a green bar that cares enough to give back!
