Without question my favorite bar in NYC. The staff are without question among the most knowledgeable you will find anywhere, the tap selection is always A+ and the bottle selection is great too. To really appreciate Brouwerij Lane, you must understand that it is not a traditional bar one might be used to, rather it is a beer store with tap lines and tables to enjoy there or at home. It has a cozy feel that makes many of us regulars feel very welcome. I like to think of BL as an extension of my living room, with all of the best beers one could hope for.

A decent place to have a beer, with some good taps. Nice environment near a reinvigorated water area. Worth a stop if you can pull yourself away or not get into Torst.

Finally made it out to Greenpoint to check this place out, and it made me regret not coming here sooner. Small bar with bottle shop and a handful of tables. Probably seats 30 comfortably. Great taplist, solid bottle list and super friendly service.

Come on RB, this is one of the best beer spots in NYC...it’s just a little bit off the beaten path, for now. The bottle selection isn’t huge but is well curated. The main attraction are the taps. Speaking of taps I think they’ve got A) excellent taste and B) some serious connections with distributors to get the kegs they do. The space has tons of rough hewn DIY beer character. They’ve got small taster pours for a few bucks or you can drink pints all day comfortably. The staff are super friendly and really know the beer they are pouring. Some of the best pizza in NYC is a few doors down. Go make an evening out of it and take a growler home.

Great selection, both draught and bottled, but very pricey. Vaguely disinterested staff. Inside was kind of cramped but there seemed to be back space that looked cozy.

Beer store that’s a bar. Usually good oneoff kegs from local brewers. Bottles are decent but annoyingly expensive. Patio out back, woodburning stove, and rotating art exhibits in front.

Been here a few times. This place is great for growler fills but, as others have mentioned, the bottles are silly expensive. The range of beers on draft is great and you can try a few while you’re there in the shop, which is pretty cool. The location is a little bit out of the way (two/three subways if you’re coming from Manhattan, if I recall correctly) but definitely worth a visit.

A friendly and quiet little place tucked away at the end of Greenpoint Avenue. Taps rotate very often, and the selection is always varied and interesting. Prices are fair on most growler fills, but some of the more exotic or unique fills can be pricey. Bottles/cans are crazy expensive. Service is good........they encourage sampling a few before you commit to a growler, and you can also purchase pints for on premise consumption. Cool little place.

A great little place close to the home of some family friends in the Polish neighborhood of Greenpoint. Built in an old garage, this is a bar, beer store, and growler fill station all in one. The tap selection is great - I had a couple Hill Farmstead beers as well as some other interesting stuff. The guy there, Eric, is very knowledgeable about beer, which is always a good thing. The seating is austere but befitting of the setting. Bottle prices are a bit high, even for NYC, for which I need to knock down the score a little bit. Captain Lawrence Smoke from the Oak pack for EIGHTY BUCKS??? Come on, man! Overall a solid place though that I wish I lived two blocks from like my friends do.

We were the only ones in there at the time so the service was great. Tap selection was good and its nice to drink a beer while also buying it. The bottle selection wasn’t large but it had some hard to find ones. Growlers are reasonably priced but bottles are a bit high.
