There's a reason that everyone in here is a regular customer. After your first, then second, then tenth time at the bar, you will be too. No shortage of beer (good beer) and wings at this awesome spot

My only complaint is the food is a little too good. I ate my own weight in wings, grilled cheese and tomato soup and anything else that I could annihilate, maybe someone's hand that got in the way.

Solid spot for quality craft beer on tap with a huge selection. You can keep track of the beers you've tried; just ask the bartenders and you can create your own card for when you come back!

See, I'd tell you what beer I like, but by the time you read this tip, the entire beer list will have changed, and that's how you know it's an awesome beer bar.

It's pouring outside so the fireplace was the obvious choice for our night out! Cozy up by the fire with a cold beer, what more to ask for on a cold night such as this?

Over 20 choices of fresh and unfiltered IPA’s with an amazing diversitiy of recipes and hops from Other Half Brewing. I’m not sure how often the menu changes, worth checking every once in a while!

Great selection - the cask stuff is always more interesting. If you're lucky you might get some vintage stuff e.g. 2010 Dogfish head olde school. I like to chill by the fireplace.

A necessary stop for the New York craft beer aficionado. The revolving tap list and laid back atmosphere make you feel right at home.

Excellent and constantly changing craft beer list. The wings are great too. Can get crowded, but there is no shame sharing tables with strangers.

One of our 10 best Manhattan bars- Beer buffs rejoice. Here is a place where everyone is as nerdy and psyched ab suds as you are. Clasp your hand on neighbor's back & drink to your healthy obsession.

What needs to be said about BT that hasn't been said already? Old school bar with one of the best beer lists in NYC. Stop playing around and come in already!
Brew YorkAugust 3, 2011
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!

Tons of craft beer on tap and a cozy atmosphere. Love the bartenders too. If you're lucky, they'll offer up a free refill.
David MilbergFebruary 19, 2016
This is a hot spot for day drinking. They have a great beer selection and they have grilled cheese with tomato soup which is one of my favorite lunch options.
Richard EllisOctober 27, 2015
Fantastic selection..I doing a tripel call Merry Monks. It 9.3% and great price... Tip your bartender and you get perverted service! Must go if I'm in Villages.

The ultimate place to stop by for a brew. The beer selection is pretty extensive, which makes deciding on just one to wash down the tasty food pretty challenging.

Murray's Cheese food and craft beers. An amazingly great mix. Often packed with limited seating but near the fireplace in the wintertime can be a great place to relax.
Marie La RueNovember 19, 2022
Always busy at anytime of day. A constant presence in the neighborhood. Live music with cover at the door in the evenings.

Blind Tiger is known for its craft beers, but enjoy one at 6 p.m. on a Wednesday and you'll also get free access to a selection of cheeses from Murray's Cheese Bar and fresh baguettes. Read more

You’ve got to be crazy to stand out in New York. Near fanatical. Like this place is about their beer—draught, aged, vintage, cask. Luckily the help on hand can keep you sane while you try to order.

Great, busy beer place without getting too crowded. And with an amazing beer selection on tap.

Grilled cheese, tomato soup and a great beer (or two or three) makes a great lunch.
mtb macJuly 3, 2013
Great selection of craft beer. Inside is very cool and friendly atmosphere. Always come here when we come home and always drink too much and buy the same damn shirt. Love it

There's a secret drink called the Hurricane, invented during Sandy when they were rapidly trying to get rid of warming tap beer. Includes cider, slightly sweet and soo delicious
Andrea ArnoldSeptember 12, 2011
My favorite bar to visit when I visit New York! Super cozy atmosphere, lots of great microbrews to choose from, and yummy food. The deviled eggs (yes!) and veggie chili were on point.

Two day (Wed/Thu) Pacific Northwest Beer & Oyster Fest. $12 for a half-dozen from Yaquina Bay. 4 breweries represented across 15 taps ... Rogue, Gigantic, Ninkasi & Midnight Sun.

A great bar on the best block in NYC. Beer is a no brainer with the amazing selection, but I've had some good glasses of wine by the fireplace too!

A NY institution and one of the country’s finest craft beer bars. Chat up your bartender!

Awesome beer list and reasonable prices -- a rare find in the West Village! Super casual, would like to return for food eventually.

The BT in the winter next to the fireplace or in the summer next to an open window is one of my favorite places in the city. Great bartenders.

A must visit for beer folks. Try and go early when it's not so crowded. Don't be afraid to ask the bartenders for guidance.
Lindsey TimbermanJanuary 6, 2013
Can't be in the West Village without a stop here. Awesome variety and selection of craft beer. Small place, so it gets crowded. Try to grab a spot at the bar.

In heart of the West Village is a fantastic beer bar that will sure to make you a regular.

They have about 30 draft beers. Most of theese beers are from the US. Great place to try the best of american beer tradition.

Great rotating taps all the time.

Get some beer or super fresh-tasting cider and sit by the windows post-brunch. Friendly bartenders, but there can be a wait for a table.
Global HighlanderJanuary 6, 2018
Nice cozy and rustic craft beer bar with a bunch of options on tap.
Eric VenkerAugust 22, 2014
Very famous beer bar with a good selection. With the fame comes large crowds, and that can be frustrating when you actually want to order one of the many beers on tap.

Awesome rotating and seasonal craft beers. Check your brew's ABV on the chalk board before you order. Go for the gold! Barley wine is always in season! Food is great, too!
Duncan PJSeptember 6, 2014
Amazing selection of craft beers and right near bleecker street records. Hooray for beer and record shopping

Craft beer, there are 28 on draught.

It gets pretty crowded but it’s a cool hangout spot. Good selection of craft beers.

If you've never had a cask beer, try it here. Fantastic beer selection, decent wine options and delish grilled cheese! Learn about cask beer & what the term "blind tiger" meant during prohibition.... Read more

Go on Wednesdays for the gratis cheese plate from murray's! But go early - they put it out right at happy hour and it disappears fast!
Nicolette RomeroSeptember 27, 2014
I love this bar! You can grab a drink by the fire in the winter, or enjoy the open air feel of it in the summer. 🍻
