New York's newest brewpub, this restaurant brews the beer they serve with a two-barrel system in their basement. They call it a "gastrobrewery" - with great food perfectly fit for pairing.
For most of the past decade, this was the only brewpub in New York. It's still the most scenic: go here in the evening and have a house-made brew while you watch the sun set over the Hudson.
This Long Island brewery, open since 1998, serves free samples in their tasting room and holds great annual events, like a cask festival every April and an anniversary concert each August.
You’ll recognize this place from “The Departed” but you’ll stay for the inexpensive and expertly poured Guinness and the very Irish patrons.
Classic arcade games, extensive beer selection and a fun atmosphere for you, your friends and your dog.
The tap selection is small, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. The beers here are hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind imports and American craft brews. Plus, there's a great backyard!
Where we first discovered craft beer in New York City. Reasonably-priced, well-curated craft beer and tasty food in an unpretentious atmosphere.
With a focus on local food, a huge craft beer list, and a relaxed vibe, this spot may be the perfect date spot for a beer geek. Say hi to Jimmy, the bar's namesake and city's nicest restauranteur.
Nearly every Wednesday, this bar opens its taps to a single brewery with an epic list of mainstream and rare beers. Don't miss the food, either - especially the grilled cheese and tomato soup!
In its short history, this bar has hosted more visiting brewers than you can count. Rarities, weekly special events, and a huge cask and bottle list make this one of the most lauded beer bars in NYC.
A fantastic, constantly-rotating beer selection that runs 20 taps deep. Two casks, too. Keep track of your beer choices to become a member of the "Pony All-American" club. 100 beers gets you a shirt!
There are many imitators, but this is the one true, traditional beer garden in New York. Its beer selection isn't huge, and mainly skews to imports, naturally, but the atmosphere is one of a kind.
Giving Bronx some craft beer cred, this place sports 16 taps and one cask pouring a great selection of American and imported brews. And the food is just as great - the best pub grub in the borough!
