Brewbroads ReviewsSeptember 6, 2017
If you only have time for one beer during your stay in the city, this is where you drink it. This sleek Danish Modern taproom boasts 21 handles that consistently pour the most sought after beer.

Becca insisted we go.. and then I insisted we stay😂 excellent selection of underground beers you are not likely to find anywhere else

great beer selection in a beautifully designed space. get the rugbrød - *so* delicious and i can't stop eating it and want to know how to make it at home.

Hands down, one of our favorite beer bars. The beer selection is impressive enough as it is, between the 21 on tap and the extensive bottled list, but the design of the space really steals the show.

Evil twin beers on tap from the Mikkeller co-creator. Tasty Scandinavian bar food from a Noma chef. Get the bread, the rye will blow your mind.
Ranu RajkarnikarApril 1, 2017
Great unique tap list, friendliest bartenders and lively vibe. Their food is great too. Bread, cheese, veggie plates. Definitely get some Evil Twin while you're here.
Stina P.April 2, 2016
Such amazing design! Every detail is considered by the HOME folks. Awesome selection of sour beers on tap served in wine glasses - order the bread (same as luksus) or roast beef sandwich
Eva DragoAugust 13, 2017
One of the best beer bars in NYC. Run by the Evil Twin team. Try small pours of their house hits and save room for food - not your usual bar fare. Love the squash blossoms and fried chicken.

Everything on the menu at beer-geek bar Torst is fantastic, and the Hot Dog ($12) is no exception. Try one of Torst's 21 beers on tap, but also practically a full meal in itself. Read more

With a fantastic reclaimed wood interior, this lovely Danish pub is an attractive place to spend an evening. The massive selection of fantastic beer and good snacks don't hurt either.

Love the Sunday roast, a delicious and welcome change from eggy brunch dishes. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for this week's meat.
Andy RosenbergApril 18, 2014
Sweetbreads and beer. This is one of my new favorite spots in NYC. Pay with Cover!
Johnnie SkywalkingMay 17, 2018
They have what you want. Tell what you are into and they will find a best one. They offer in 3 different sizes so why not start from smaller one to find your biggest love.
Suri RSeptember 1, 2013
I want to dislike this place because the whole "beer in wine glasses" thing is stupid, but the beer selection is actually great and the staff are super wonderful.
EvanApril 24, 2013
The caol ila stout is like scotch in beer form; awesome. Also had a Flemish red that resembled Lambrusco. Definitely go for cheese/meat/pickle plate to accompany, with awesome dark bread made in-house
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2018
Most of the 100-plus bottles fall into the $15–$30 range, and can climb upwards of $100 for highly prized vintages like a 2005 Fou’ Foune from Belgium’s Cantillon or De Dolle’s 2003 Dulle Teve Reserva Read more
Rafi RomeroNovember 29, 2015
great beer, obviously. bartender is helpful when it comes to choosing. got a Belgian pale ale (war bird by pipeworks) and an American sour ale (purple prose by Grimm). both delicious
John TaylorNovember 16, 2014
Great draft beers, many of them from Evil Twin Brewing. Tasty snacks menu, too. If you love craft beer don't miss this place.

Excellent selection of beers you've never tried or even heard of. Available in 5/8/14 oz pours, good for trying new things without getting completely destroyed. Two single occupancy unisex restrooms
Brew YorkOctober 23, 2013
From the man behind Evil Twin Brewing, this temple to beer in Greenpoint soared RateBeer.com's rankings to become among the world's top beer bars within weeks of opening.
David RiordanNovember 30, 2015
Tap list changes frequently but the bar food is amazing and overlooked. The loaf of bread is worth every cent. There's a reason the restaurant in back has Michelin stars
Josh CollinsApril 14, 2014
Awesome pub. Lots of Evil Twin on tap (for obvious reasons). Found a few other imports I didn't recommend, which was nice since Evil Twin has pretty good distribution. Got to try some new stuff

Multiple interesting sounding beers on tap with fancy white marble decor and cider to appease even the non beer drinkers among us (ie me).

Today I drank a beer called "Action & Adventure" (Grimm, NY) here. You may never have the chance to try it on draft, but it's a good description for this place. Wow.
Jen FoxFebruary 20, 2015
Wow. This place is legit. If you are into craft beer at all, make your way to this amazing bar. All the taps have individualized temperature controls. Serious stuff.

One of the most unique beer experience in all of NYC. Strong Scandinavian influence. A must. You will love it!
DiggsMarch 11, 2013
If you're a craft beer person, looking for that beer you can never find, or just want to feel extra classy while having a beer, this is a great place for you... granted an 8oz draft starts at $6...
Jana HarrisonJuly 5, 2017
Incredible craft beer list. Great vibe. I recommend going during the week or Sunday evenings. The French Montana is indulgent and delicious.
NicolaFebruary 12, 2015
amazing place with real significant flights of great drafted beers. good food to share at the bar. go!
Omar HarounSeptember 7, 2013
Best way to experience this place is to get multiple 5 ounce beers to taste with a friend and sit at the bar. Very cool vibe and delicious beers
Damian BayonaDecember 13, 2014
Great for beer lovers. Over 20 obscure, delicious beers on tap. Food is simple, tasty and pairs well with beer. Definitely a place to try
Doug WamplerDecember 21, 2014
Great for session drinking. Try 3-4 different beers in the 5oz size. Too many great options to stick to just one beer.
Aleson HoAugust 2, 2015
Great selection of popular to rare beers including many European ones. I had a roast pork sandwich as well and it was fantastic with the beer.
Phil ShannonJanuary 25, 2015
My favorite place in Williamsburg. The beer selection was awesome and the staff was very nice and helpful.
CITY GRITAugust 8, 2014
Stop in on Sunday afternoons (1-6) for the Sunday Roast! Our everyday favorites are the Confit Duck Sandwich, Welsh Rarebit, & the Beef Short Rib!

Lot's of good, rare stuff, both domestic and imported craft. A lot Evil Twin brews, and other stuff from gypsy brewers like Stillwater, which makes sense give Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø's involvement.
DoubleDeuceOctober 9, 2016
Try something new! And sit towards the front. The back is uncomfortably bleak because of the darkness and the minimalist decor. But the front is great!

New bar by the guy behind Evil Twin Brewing and the guy who cooked at Noma and Momofuku. Could you ask for more? Notice the gradient tap handles and flux capacitor draft system.
Adam GrønbeckOctober 21, 2014
Go here for a really large selection of rare draft beer. Also the biggest selection of bottled beer I have ever seen! Highly recommended!
Zachary MartzJuly 24, 2015
Seasonally rotating craft beers with homemade Scandinavian inspired bread. Chefs table dining - Greenpoints 1st michelin start establishment.
Liam OliverJune 27, 2016
Incredible craft selection for us beer nerds seeking out unique brews. Great place!
Omer ZachOctober 15, 2015
Great beer selection. You can order smaller beers if you want to try out more kinds.
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
A marble bar and several hues of wood come together in a way that feels very of-the-moment, and the offerings from 21 taps progress from light to dark. Read more
Aarthi D.September 12, 2013
I felt the cheese plate, though satisfying, was not to my taste, but I prefer creamier cheeses than their selection. Beer was excellent, bread as well. Definitely coming back.
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014
Wonderful beer selection and very impressive tap selection. The different sizes let you taste more without becoming a sloppy mess.
Ryan JorgensonNovember 8, 2014
Great rotating selection of drafts, and large format bottles. The Nordic inspired cuisine is top notch, as well as the ambiance and music.
Dina RughaniFebruary 7, 2015
Beer selection is great and don't forget to get a reservation for luksus. Really delicious prix fixe meal. The chef has worked at Noma!
Philipp MüllerJune 9, 2015
Amazing selection of craft beers, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Menu selections is limited but excellent.
Morten AastadMay 2, 2015
Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergså needs no presentation, but if you don't know, he is the Danish phantom brewer who makes that wonderful EvilTwin beer. Oh, and his brother makes Mikkeller beer.
