A good bar and a great selection, but this place was crowded beyond belief (it was a wed. night). They have so many things on tap, I’d like to go back. I could spend hours here and still not get to a fraction of the stuff. Unfortunately, I had to leave because of the (enthusiastic) crowd. It was a great scene, but I couldn’t here myself think. I will be coming back though. Service was good, considering. Prices are ok for NYC. I stuck to 6oz. beers ($4 each).

The place is pretty small and gets really packed at peak times which is not something I enjoy when going out for craft beer. The bottle list and vintage bottle lists are very impressive most of the times but the prices can be pretty steep. Tap list is also one of the best NY has to offer at any given time. If your going for craft beer, it will be pretty hard to find anything better on any given night than at Blind Tiger. Promo nights seem to be every Wednesday and they always feature a crazy amount of beer from whoever they bring in. Every once in a while they normally get someone extremely rare in as well which I must give them points for. Bartenders are very friendly and try to serve you as quick as they can but sometimes the wait can be long since the place is normally packed... not their fault though. Overall one of the best bars in NY.

Quick visit in August. Bartender was very helpful. Great selection. Would love to back.

Great beer bar in NYC. This place has awesome events pretty frequently. Bottle list can has some nice beers, however you are going to pay for it. Stick with the draft list.

I’ve been wanting to get into the city and come here for some time now, and finally got the opportunity this weekend. We stopped in for lunch and I was very happy to see that a number of beers were still on tap from Wednesday’s Kuhnhenn’s event. Small place with lots of age and charm. I really like the beefy old wood tables. There were two lady bartenders who were extremely knowledgeable about the beers they were serving and seemed to enjoy talking beer. We ordered lunch at the bar and relaxed with our beers. I had a lamb sausage wrap which was very good, and my wife had a bacon cheddar melt that she enjoyed as well. I’m already looking forward to my next trip in!

Another stop on the road trip. I had a blast here, the crowd was very cool, the barstaff were top notch. I was a touch let down by the draught list, but they did have an ice cider on cask... If I lived in West Village, this would probably be my local. Just a very cool vibe and would love to hit it up again. Nice.

I gotta say I really dig the new location. The old one as I recall was way too dark and didn’t really work on a whole, the new one is cool. Food smelled great didn’t eat any. Beer was great nice casks etc... nice to see my hometown hero’s alesmith on the bottle list. Great place indeed.

Go to Blind Tiger and never leave!!! A beer menu so perfectly picked that it can always please my girlfriend with a chocolate stout and also give me the most insanely hoppy beers I have ever tasted. Always head straight for the cask. The bar tenders are knowledgeable. The food is even great (recommend the tomato soup and grilled cheese or the tuna melt with capers). With special events almost every week, this is beer geek heaven. I wish I could live here. i love this place.

This is getting only a moderately high rating from me, but it is not because I don’t like this. I actually like it a whole lot. The ambiance is nice, location is great, and the selection is very good. There are always a couple of good cask ales going, and new kegs appear every time I have been there. But the place is too damn popular and crowded. The staff is helpful and they know their stuff, but it can take a while to get their attention. If you want great beer in a loud but interesting pub, this is a good place. If you want a peaceful drink and some quiet conversation with a friend, go elsewhere.

Came here for Two Brothers night in late July. The place was packed but still got great service. The bartenders were attentive and very accomodating. I wanted to sample the many beers they had on tap and the bartender accomodated my wishes by serving me in small-sized glasses. And the selection was miraculous. About 15 Two Brothers beers on draught, either standard taps or in actual casks - very cool. I had a fantastic experience and I look forward to returning.
