Everything. Today I came for brunch and the scrambled eggs and the fried chicken with gravy and a egg on top were so good. The waiters and bartenders are friendly and helpful. My favorite spot in LIC.

Patrick Donagher

Brand new brewery in Sunnyside , lots of outdoor seating and soon will have indoor

Brian Van Nieuwenhoven

Awesome local microbrewer , always worth a visit

Joseph Kennedy

Wide open taproom! 18 drafts (incl flights), bunch of 4 packs, happy hours , teacher appreciation, jumbo TV , pinball/games, trivia night , live music/comedy, and on-site food vendors. Kid + dog friendly

Sean Smith

I like doing brunch here. $30 all you can drink (for a subset of the craft beer selection ), with some delicious food. The chicken and biscuits is quite tasty, and the wings are juicy and flavorful.

If you pair one of Alewife's many craft brews with a table near the LIC bar and restaurant 's upstairs fireplace , even the coldest of ales won't make you shiver. Read more

They're very serious about the brews, which include offerings from New Holland Brewing, Flying Dog and Evil Twin in addition to a cask option that goes for just $5 a glass on Fridays. Read more

Absolutely love this place. It's excellent for groups and they made hosting my birthday party super easy. There's a huge upstairs area and the beer selection is ???????? (plus the poutine is p good too).

Patrick Donagher

The beer is delicious! ???? ????

Will Cutrone

I swear by this place. As a homebrewer , the beer is always top notch. Service is very solid, with the environment is relaxed and flat-out enjoyable. They also host your parties on the second floor!

Brew York

It might look far away on a map, but this LIC bar is just one subway stop from Grand Central. And it's worth the trip for one of the best rotating lists of American and imported drafts in the city .

Love this local (close to work) hang out place. Always have different beers to try out. For me staffs are always friendly . Willing and able on not so event packed nights. Food is par above or better

Maxwell Foxman

Daily changes to their craft beer selection Ehi bc includes international beers . Also their sriracha peas are amazingly delicious and the place has two floors. Five stars!

The Corcoran Group

Head to the upstairs dining room where you'll be treated to awesome garlic fries and sriracha buffalo wings that you can enjoy in front of a brick fireplace .

Matthew Ferguson

Cool vibe. Great selection of NY State beers . My only complaint is they didn’t have a good selection of hard ciders .

Time Out New York

The breezy space is kitted out with wooden walls and benches , as well as a long bar down the middle; once you’ve settled in, begin the task of choosing from the rotating list of 28 brews. Read more

Compass

Live music , an upscale European bar menu, and extensive ale selection -- 28 selections on tap and counting -- keeps the bi-level brewhouse buzzing come happy hour and weekends.

Larry Koestler

Among the finest bars in NYC, owner Patrick Donagher's devotion to ~30 rotating draft lines ensures that even the most hardcore beer lovers will find something new (and oftentimes, rare!) to try.

Ray Lin

Rustic feel with long wooden tables tucked away in a corner of LIC. The garlic frites are terrific (share!) and the beer selection is golden (fav is the Left Hand Sawtooth).

Daniel Allard

Amazballs beer selection , take your pants of and do the naked dance garlic fries and cool customers!

Tony Xerri

Came here for the nacho and beer festival . Holy crap. Place is huge and the craft beer is stellar. Cute little outside area on the second floor just in case you need a breather.

Robert Madison

The Brussels sprouts are fantastic! And a great selection of beer ???? !!

Fantastic draft beer on a menu that's updated at least once a day.

Great beer on tap and amazing dishes coming out of their kitchen. An educated staff properly poured drinks in a comfy space.

Adam Schuit

One of the better bars in LIC. Great selection of beers !!

Winson Wong

Amanda Schneider

Hidden gem in LIC. $30 brunch deal during football is awesome - just know it only goes until 3 (not 4pm like it says online).

Brew York

We've come around on this Queens spot, which has matured into a bar with a stellar tap list , reasonably-priced craft beer , and great food... check out the patio upstairs!

Russell Hirschorn

Great off the beaten path bar . Beer and whiskey selection and the food is delish too

Zack Davenport

The garlic fries are top notch. Double fried, melts in your mouth, and more than enough to share. But you won't want to.

Mischa

The best thing for groups here is ordering a bucket o'beer, choices are great and non of them are buds

Anna Frenkel

The garlic frites and jalapeno mac & cheese are amazing starters. The burgers are solid & super juicy so protect your lap.

Village Voice

Happy Hours start at 4:20 on the dot. On the weekends they offer all you can drink at brunch from 12-3pm.

Smallish Tap room with most of the lines dedicated to Alewife. A few for other breweries . Decent food.

Adrian L

Some of the best craft beer selection in the city . Frequently rotated and good happy hour specials

Alewife has one of the top draft and bottle selections in NYC, hands down.

Nora Gomez

Paradise for beer lovers, but more importantly: poutine topped with duck confit and fried egg . Omg.

Wings are really good. Good beer selection . Huge place so sometimes service is iffy.
