Great beers from NY breweries and love that you can get small testers for only $5 and can then try a few different ones.
Came here on a rainy Sunday with the toddler. And as beer places should be, they were super chill and welcoming. Great beer list that skews more local than the other top beer bars in the city, which is refreshing AND leads to the list being things we don’t see (a definite win). 10/10 would recommend, which is what I’m doing right now.
Easily the most relaxed, down-to-earth, cozy bar in the city. I brought my dog here often when I lived across town -- dog and family-friendly. Beer is always high quality and the bartenders are just beyond wonderful. (Shoutout to Geoff, Hannah, Joe, and Bear!) Highly recommend going in on the first Monday of the month, where you can catch a great jazz night. I've since moved to Philly but am moving back and when I do, you'll know where I'll be on a Saturday. :)
