Heartland Brewery and Rotisserie - Empire State Building

No Longer In Business

Located under the Empire State Building...there beers are ok..

Leider echt viel zu teuer für die eher durchschnittliche Qualität, aber sicher dem Ort geschuldet. Wer mitten in Manhattan essen geht, kann nichts anderes erwarten. Das Bier war prima, das Essen nicht.

Nice brewpub below Empire State Building in two stores. Paid $15,95 for a sampler with 6 average house beers. Great food served by nice and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food, great service and a platter of their 5 seasonal beers for $12.50.

Empire State Building location of the local chain, which benefits greatly from the location; English is the second language in here. Regular and seasonals, 12 taps, nice bar food, commercial atmosphere. Nothing special, good for a lunch with a couple of their brews.

Worth a visit when you are around Empire State Building. Crowds of tourists enjoying an early lunch. I sat by the bar downstairs, where it was quieter and more relaxing. Friendly service. I had a beer sampler, "Voyage of Beer", 5oz samplers of their six house brews $15.95. A bit expensive and beers were rather dull, some with hint of butterscotch. Farmer Jon’s Oatmeal Stout was the best beer, indeed pretty good. No information about ABV, why not? (Visited June 22nd 2016)

Certainly worth a visit. Possibility of tasting flights of the homebrews. Decent burgers. Would go back for some more tasters and a burger if I was in NYC. Update: in 2015 this place is still a very touristic place. Service is decent. But already adding a tip to your bill, I just don’t think it’s the way to go...

The interior makes me think restaurant chain, although not of the recently refurbished kind. Not bad though. Decent service too, a couple of the waiters got very interested when they saw we took notes and talked a bit to us about the beers and poured some free samples as well. Not all places you experience that, especially after telling them that the beers lack a bit to be impressive or interesting. Overall, had a nice time here, but it certainly wouldn’t be my first recommandation if you’re going to NYC and look for a beer place.

Made short visit after the descent from the 86th floor in the Empire State building. Ignorant staf (according to my host NY standard ;) ). Only had flight on the standards so I had a paint of one of the seasonal ones (I guess they are ther all the time). Beer wasn’t that nice and pricy - so one was enough. Interor looked fine, also food that I didn’t tried this time. Minors allowed.
