Creative Asian fusion choices here, such as the scallion pancake taco w/ pulled pork (Earl's Taco ) - yum! Beer cheese comes w/ a generous portion of perfectly crisp-on-outside-soft-on-inside toasts.

Sure, there's almost always a wait, but you'll forget all of that with a single bite into their luscious Mac & Cheese . They use goat cheese which imparts a touch of tang and a super creamy sauce . Read more

Everything on the menu is great and it's One page. It's always rotating draft . Funky new ones. The Beer cheese is a must. Fair prices and good bartender . Just added a back part for more patrons.

These are my two favorite foods- beer , cheese . Everything I've eaten here is perfect but small portions. Awkwardly narrow passage next to the bar to get to the back. Very cozy and casual .

naveen

great spot for a lunch if you’re in the hood. be sure to try a beer or two from their rotating list — there’s always a new one try from one of the nyc breweries

Andrew C

Very filling + tasty foods and great beer selection ... but underwhelming, thought there would be more cheese - like different mac n cheese or unique grilled cheeses or classic cheese boards or etc

Time Out New York

Try the Earl’s Eggo waffle , drizzled with maple syrup and stacked with aged Cabot cheddar , coffee-cured bacon and rich slabs of grilled foie gras . It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

Order at the bar and then sit anywhere and they will bring the food to you. For brunch try the calabro mozzarella or the huevos rancheros !

Emilie Bandy

Such a good find in an otherwise desolate area. Awesome blue cheese grilled cheese , buffalo chicken and great tunes !

Bruno Bucci

Very good local bar . The sandwiches are very good. Music playing is good too and the options of beer also.

Jeffrey

The Calabro mozzarella with miso mayo and potato chips ; the Cheddar with pork belly , kimchee , and a fried egg ; and especially the pork-shoulder scallion-pancake “taco .”

Adele Blanco

Tomato soup , grilled cheese , Mac and cheese , bread pudding . Oh and great beer . Really can't go wrong here.

Duke Perkins

Always a perfect place to hit with friends and enjoy some good ass beer . The food rocks and it's not expensive at all.

Tracy

SO happy this place has moved into the hood. Great people, very cute hipster-like decor, staff is super friendly , good prices, nice pub cheese , box of wine on tap & they have TAB by the can. Love it!

Robert W

I recommend the New York cheddar and pork belly sandwich . Also haves a beer because of the many choices n some are local .

Carl Anhalt

Everything really is great. The NY cheddar , the gorgonzola with fig jam , the spicy tomato soup . All amazing.

Very good food + great beer + awesome vibe + janga = killer. Can get crowded on weekends.

Edward Manson

Great beers and heart warming chicken pot pie . If you're in the upper East Side/beginning of Harlem it's a must visit.

Beer cheese and tomato soup are musts. If you are still hungry split a grilled cheddar with a pal.

Mrs Maria ORTIZ

It was very enjoyed about all of the drink food every time I go to Manhattan NY we go there been there more than 10 th times I'm from NY

Josh Tart

Awesome little dive with an awesome beer selection . Try the Brie and Blackberry jam grilled cheese . It is amazing.

Antoine M

Great place, food and staff . Before 12...no one was here, amd we had great craft beer and grilled cheese and taco !

Mikey Bonifacio

Earl's eggo waffle foie gras deliciousness!!! Also the beer cheese is superb, if you want dessert order the bread pudding beforehand bc it takes 20 mins to be prepped! Enjoy

Harlem Ambassador

Mount Sinai medical residents take advantage of this middle of the avenue beer hall. 12 people make it "crowded ", which it always is. Young crowd with young money to spend. excellent selections.

Polina Weitz

Casual bar , with several beers on tap , and many cheese-focused bar foods. Chill atmosphere with communal tables and booths .

Jesse Lane

New York State Cheddar sandwich is the move here. Pork belly , kimchi , fried egg and sharp cheddar .

Sam Gil

Calabro mozzarella over the pork belly & kimchee one. Pomegranate beer also great (not very alcoholic though). Great spot.

Kathy Matthiesen

Beer cheese is SO good. If you're sharing with others, get the large - only $2 more

Kirsten Peissel

Came and went without eating cheese ..was sold on the pulled pork taco with a scallion pancake shell. Highly satisfied with my decision.

Greg Levitt

All three dishes we ordered were great: chicken pot pie , huevos rancheros , and earl salad (with pork belly !)

Narendra Singh Plaha

Craft beer (6 draft 9 cans) at its finest. Wine on tap . Cheese of all sorts salad y bread pudding . Board games free wifi y nice y cozy

Marissa Miracolo

This place is UNREAL. Amazing beer . Amazing beer cheese . Best grilled cheese in NYC. Hands down. Come here now.

Eat to Blog

This tiny bar serves some of the tastiest cheese-based food in town . Try the calabro mozzarella sandwich , topped with mayo and pickles and served on an english muffin .

MIMI

Open great hours. Regularly rotating food and beer menu

Elysia Mann

The delicious kale salad isn't embarrassing to order especially if you eat all of your table's beer cheese

Jay Sekulow

The grilled cheese sandwiches at this place are to die for. The atmosphere here is great as well !

Gary St Clare

I came here for breakfast and dinner . Very standard service with them asking for your orders and drinks and then if you need anything else you'll have to call them over.

Compass

Expertly paired craft beer and cheese plates add up a perfectly low-key date or happy hour night destination.

Nancy Chung

Tacos were my fave. Great spot to hang, play jenga , kick back, chat. Chocolate stout was goood

The bread is really good ! The place is tiny but it's a cool spot to stop have a beer and relax.

The Daily Meal
