3 reviews for The Ginger Man (Greenwich)
| joebudzjoe (19), Connecticut | | July 7, 2009 [ Updated September 19, 2009 ] The Ginger Man usually has 15-20 beers on tap with nice rare beers (Rogue, Cap’n Lawrence) but you are going to pay hefty Greenwich prices for their beers and food. Most drafts are $6 while Duvels, etc are much more. The bar staff is very knowledgeable and very warm and the food is good, despite being pricey. My only two complaints about the place is the price and the clientele. It mainly attracts a young, investment banker, private school educated crowd. However, since the place has its nooks, it’s easy to hide from the crowd. | pyedog (2), pensacola, Florida does not count - explanation | | May 22, 2008 Made a special trip to this Ginger Man with my wife while on vacation. I have been to the other Ginger Man pubs in Texas and was always very pleased with the service, selection and very knowlegable staff. The Greenwich Ginger Man did not disappoint. Greenwich is an upper crust (income-wise) community that you would not think would be able to sustain a beer bar but under expert management this place is just that. The interior is beautifully appointed with dark wood and polished brass and very, very clean. The manager Ben was behind the bar and was most enthusiastic about the 24 taps on hand There were some local brews available along with the Schneider-Brooklyn Hopfen Weisse which was superb. It was evident that this Ginger Man adheres to the philosophy of the chain...the taps were squeaky clean and Ben did advise me that everything was thoroughly sanitized every few days. The beer was served properly in sparking, room-temperature glassware which enhanced the beer evaluation proceess. The food was wonderful...my sife ordered the fish & chips and I had the wurst platter...high quality, excellently prepared. I would advise making a visit here especailly if you are with a wife or girlfriend...the village of Greenwich is very lovely. When we departed, Ben, the manager advised that we drive a short distance to Norwalk to visit the other Ginger Man there. See my review there. | | Cletus (175), Connecticut | | June 3, 2006 [ Updated June 10, 2006 ] Stopped here on my way home from Captain Lawrence. While there, I enjoyed a pint of Brooklyn Fortitude and La Chouffe hop-it. Those aside, there tap list was pretty average and only a standout if compared to the other bars in the local area. There was a decent bottle selection as well. The ambiance is typical of Greenwich with overpriced drinks and a bar that attempts to look the part of a tavern while catering to the locals. Worth a visit if you are there. Otherwise, a waste of time. |
