Stoped by on a visit to NYC. Little slow early to mid afternoon on a friday. Nice draft selection (Coney Island, Brooklyn, Captain Lawrence) Prices seemed higher than other places. Would have to revisit when a bigger crowd is there to get a better idea

This place is great on many counts. The tap and bottle selection is fantastic, and there’s separately a Belgian focused bar. There’s a variety of places to sit, from up front and visible to some lost corners. The staff is knowledgeable and the whole ambiance is cool.

We got here for happy hour after going to d.b.a. Quality 20 or so on tap and a reasonable bottle selection. Only had some fries - so can’t really speak to the food. The waitress was nice but didn’t seem to know much about the beers. Got two different Kuhnhenn’s on draft for half price... a good thing. Alesmith Yulesmith summer was on the board but they didn’t have it when I ordered... which was a bad thing. Cool enough place though.

Visited on 4th of July. Beerlist was outstanding (KRE on tap!) and had some decent food. Service was good and has a little ambience, nothing special. The beer selection will have me coming back on all of my trips to the city.

Always a fun stop in the East Village, although the service had some hiccups the night we were there. Our waitress was relatively clueless on beers (in her defense, she claimed it was her first night), and mangled our food order so badly that we didn’t get it for an hour and a half. Yikes! The Belgian room is a nice touch, although the bulk of the handles were American brewers takes on Belgian styles during our visit. A fun place, albeit having slipped a notch from my last visit.

Was our first serious beer bar in NYC after a visit to McSorley’s on the walk through the east village. Excellent beer list, love the Belgian Room idea where they have an attempt at creating that belgian brasserie feel to a part of the bar. Was very impressed with the service, our waiter was new but worked very hard to know the beers or grab another staff member when he wasn’t sure on something. And the combination of Pomme Frites and the Olive Sampler went very well with our beers. I would definitely go back whenever i am in NYC again.

This was our first stop in NYC and not a bad place to start. Excellent beer list and friendly atmosphere. The food was only mediocre, though. A minor complaint: I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and didn’t realize that the menu said it came with frites, so I ordered a side order. I felt foolish when I was served a sandwich with TWO orders of frites and wondered why the waitress hadn’t set me straight when I ordered.

This is a great place in a great location. The ambiance is very low key, it’s never too loud, and there is zero pretense. The selection is not the biggest in the world, but everything they have is either unique or awesome. Great ’joint’.... I wish midtown had something like this...(now that Collins is gone)

A few blocks away from my house so I try to pop in 1x a week. Going on weekends is pretty tough because it gets pretty crowded so I usually like to go during the week. As much as I would like to try more while I’m there whenever they have something good on cask it’s all I drink. They tend to always have something good on cask. *Rerate: I haven’t changed my score but I have to add I’m really getting sick and tired of the management here. They hire and fire bartenders almost monthly. Maybe I’m strange, but I actually like going to a bar where people know my name and I can have a conversation. Making a relationship with any bartender in this place is almost impossible because they literally fire them on a monthly basis. Your beers are great but wake up if you want a consistent customer base.

A great bar with always an interesting selection, although they’ve recently redone the food menu and its gotten at once worse and more expensive. Yikes. I used to eat here all the time, now I probably never will again. Prices are also a bit high compared to other NYC bars.
