I would call the catfish burrito their signature dish. It's awesome, I always get it, with the sweet potato fries . The ales are diverse, fresh, and regularly changing also. ???????? Usually pretty crowded

Mischa

Great selection of rotating drafts and fair price for a nicer beer than a Stella. Depending on your budget, the special bottles can be a good idea or just a great turndown if you're not a big beer fan

Sabrina

Best spot for a beer and chill dinner on the UWS any time of year. Burgers are served on English muffins , try the lamb or turkey . Back room is cozy with the fire place, but caution it can get hot.

Brian Giambalvo

Great drink spot before a show at Beacon Theatre . Plenty of TV’s for watching sports .

DoubleDeuce

It can feel cramped at the tables or along the bar with people walking behind you...but...if you can snag the bar/window seats that sit along the north wall, then it's quiet , cozy and wonderful.

Behrad Eats

The soft-shell pretzel goes perfectly with their great beer selection . It's filled with white cheddar and served with chorizo and sautéed mushrooms .

Vita Starck Rice

The beer of course! The service was great! Great atmosophere! Richie was a great host and very personable! The food was excellent. Loved the Angus burger and sweet potato fries . I will come back!

Paige C

Dog friendly ! They even get their own treats and a water dish. Nachos were delicious. Love sitting outside.

David Schwartz

Extensive beer list , nice variety of American Craft Beer and imports. Fair amount available on draft as well .

Jacqui The great

All around awesome Great prices, Fabulous food (goat cheese and grilled veggie sandwich yum!) Dog friendly ! only buzzkills are they don't deliver AND hostess is NASTY but don't let that deter you

Giovanni D'Palma

Great selection of beer and the burgers were delicious. Try the lamb burger if you're in the mood for something different.

Larriza Thurler

Bison and lamb burguers : amazing! And the onion rings and sweet french fries are fantastic. Very nice atmosphere.

Paige C

Nice beer selection . We only went for drinks, but the food looked really good! My only complaint: why does EVERY dessert on your menu contain tree nuts ? No options for me.

Baturalp

Great place to sip a beer outside during covid times. Friendly staff and a good selection of drafts .

Ceren Balkanay

Cool place at a nice area. Great burger . Perfect for a beer after a long walk in the central park .

BaxterTheBoss

The best bar on the upper west side hands down. Anna is the best waitress ever! Order a delirium and then pass out in the bathroom !

Trae F

Comfortable and friendly place. Burgers are served on English muffins and are delicious! Could become a regular here.

Derek Schoeni

Be aware-get to know staff . 2/3 owners are great. One named Jacob is awful to his employees and customers. Great food atmospheres. $ goes up alchemy shows come to theater close by though.

Todd Dragoo

Pretty good draft beer selection . These laid back pub/restaurant is a quiet place to chat and throw back a few pints.

Karen Truscott

One of my staples if I'm on the UWS. Great beer list and can always be seated within 20 minutes.

Scott Foster

Good Food. Solid beer selection . A great neighborhood bar in the UWS.

Lesley K

The best turkey burger in the neighborhood . And obviously the beer selection is awesome too.

Doug Howell

Mosaic IPA - Blue Point Brewing Company + Bison Burger + Sweet Potato fries with Cinnamon + Monday Night Football = Awesome Monday Night on the Island .

KIRK STRUBLE

Happy Hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm at the Bar !

Sabina B.

SOLID beer selection . Skip the apps and go straight for the entrees. Lamb burger + Czechvar Lager FTW.

Hagay Jivilik

Any go wrong with fish & chips . Lots of good beers ✌????

Jeff Solomon

Good craft beers , although expensive . They also charge a “10% covid surcharge” on top of the bill total

Incog Nico

It was a lovely day to sit outside and enjoy good food and good company. The spicy grilled chicken is delicious!

Rob Pratt

The wings are surprisingly good - recommend. Craft beer selection is good too.

Jasmin Sanchez

Hands down the BEST bar burger ! Get a side of tstziki sauce for your fries ! You won't regret it!!

Donna L

I'm allergic to something here. You might not be, but I was sneezing with watery eyes all night. Was it the Original Sin cider , or something in the air? Not sure. Otherwise a fine establishment.

Joe D

Burgers here are surprisingly delish. And served on an English muffin ????

Tom Halleran

Nice beer selection . Food is the normal pub grub . Burger was okay, but the onion rings were drenched in oil - sat in my gut like a brick all night. Outside seating is good, but fills up quickly.

Pietro Filipponi

Wide beer selection at great prices. Get anything with fries . The fries are amazing.

Rachael

You can taste stuff if the list gets too daunting. You might get luck and get a tiny tasting mug!

Trevor Hill

Huge beer list and a pretty good burger to boot

Compass

Amsterdam Ale House is usually a mellow local water hole but turns into a madhouse during big sporting events .

Chris Dignes

"Someone tell these bros to shower , right? Hahaha!"--These bros. (Ipso facto, come for the ill beats, stay for the dope-ass beers . Bring deodorant?)

Desiree Colonna

Meltins beer and pizza . Real mushrooms . Awesome sausage .

Elaina Powless

One of the best frozè I’ve ever had! Tastes like a cloud

Raphael Langenscheidt

Ridiculous beer names, friendly waiters , long list of drafts . This place delivers exactly what it promises.

James Morales

Tuna steak burger rare with sweet fries as recommended were muy bueno. Lamb burger was not bad too

Andrew Peterson

Best bar and bartenders on the Upper West Side!

Kris Fuksman

Great Seasonal craft draft beer selection and the bison burger is on point!

Mary Gorry

Take advantage of the variety of microbreweries and lesser known beers on tap/bottled!

Francisca Nunes de Almeida

Friendly service and nice selection of beers !

Joe Capone

Lamb Berger is to die for!

Eric Morris

For a place that prides itself on its okay beer selection , they should probably clean their tap lines . Order one beer , taste another because the lines are dirty . UWS needs better craft beer options .

radiKarl

The selection of craft beers is awesome!

Brandon

UWS local bar . Low key and perfect for the 'hood.
