Newly reopened after a vandal set it afire, the Pony is back with a big front window that opens, new beer boards, soundproofing (it helps some!), & new beer taps. Same great bartenders !!

Eater

The All American Club, for which you have to taste and rate 100 beers , are a mark of true NYC beer-geekery. Be sure not to miss happy hour , which is only a single hour, starting at 4:20 p.m.

Reign Low

The pony bar have the best craft brewed beer .. I really love this place my #1 pick out of all the bars in Manhattan! Have some soft pretzels made w/beer batter and a crafted brew ladies as a starter!

Brew York

The Pony heads east! $5 beers , 20 rotating craft brews on tap , 2 casks , and great food... everything you came to expect at their Hell's Kitchen location. When they ring the bell, yell "NEW BEER !"

Thomas Matzner

Beers are a great place and they have a wide selection of non-typical brews. All of the sandwiches/meals are priced under $12-$14, you can't beat that! Quality and creativity is excellent.

Lisa F

Perfect chill bar for beer lovers. Strong and solid craft beers , friendly knowledgeable bartenders , jugs of beer to take home (and bring back to refill for a discount ).

Karlita C

Jeff is an amazing bartender ! Super knowledgable about his craft beer and just a great conversationalist in general ! The beer selection varies...it's a great atmosphere to chill after hours.

sarah rosefeldt

$5 for every single draught beer (just the glass size varies.) Lots of incredible craft beers to try. Always something new on tap too. When one's kicked, a new one's up, so get em while you can.

ZenFoodster

I'm a cocktail gal & we had a group consensus: my beer-loving friends love & approve of beer selection + $5 HH beers but agree Happy Hour should be longer than 1 measly hr & should include cocktails !

Time Out New York

Twenty taps dispense craft brews (Barrier, Empire) at this 50-seat beer bar , which is decorated with a white-pine-topped tables, exposed brick and lamps made from growlers . Read more

ZenFoodster

Great selection of 20 rotating craft beers but pricey cocktails & a crappy 1-hr daily 4:20-5:20pm Happy Hr meant for people who only like beer & don't really work. Definitely not the greatest HH spot!

Alex Metzler

Great prices ($6/beer across the board), and amazing beer selection . If you're lucky to get here while a Third Rail Beer is on tap ... Have one, they're great.

Lisa DeClemente

A rotating menu of craft beers with a friendly staff . A neighborhoods favorite!

Audrey Tolbert

The bar that every other bar on the UES needs to be. Can't beat those rotating craft brews . Snag a table and camp out all day/night and try them all.

A L E X

Great selection of brew and many beers rotating. Cask option also available. Friendly staff . Best for beer lovers.

Jay Mandel

Great variety of craft brews . Happy hr from 4:20 of o 5:20 $5 beers . Liked that the bartender took me on a craft brew progression.

Adam I

Get the avocado , lettuce, and tomato sandwich , but ask for the chicken sandwich sauce instead of mayo for a little kick.

Tracey Churray

Hands down the go to for craft beer lovers on the UES. It's least crowded on snowy weekend afternoons. Happy hour is $5 drafts .

Sean Smith

Great place for beer . Servers are quick and friendly . Food is good too! Pretzel and mustard is a great snack .

Simon G.

Everyday Happy Hour between 4:20 and 5:20: All draft beers , well drinks & wines for only 6$.

Craig K

This place is awesome if you like Craft Beer . Have a Third Rail beer if they have them! Field 2 or Bodega , you can't go wrong!

Charley Todd

So many great beers , and an inviting atmosphere that you can hear yourself talking in. Find out what's new on tap !

Abigail Wolff

Fabulous selection of American craft beers ; good sandwiches and more; best bartenders !!

The Blonde Gourmand

Only American brewed craft beers on tap here. When the run out they switch it out with something completely different - no repeats! I love this bar and I'm not a big beer girl...

Jeff Byrnes

Best spot for a beer on the upper east side. Cask ales & tons of draught selections !

Larry Koestler

The best American craft beer bar in the five boroughs, Pony's constantly rotating 20 taps are a sight for any craft fan's sore eyes.

martin boyle

Great craft beer selections on UES, knowledgeable bartenders , active spot. And the food matches well !

Matt Leva

Best beer menu in the city . Today I'm drinking Other Half, Grimm, and Hill Farmstead to name a few....

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Great beers on tap , spacious and friendly staff . Chill spot for weeknight or Sunday beers .

Andie Sleeman

They have all of the beer and at a good price. The food is basic. But back to the beer ...if you drink beer you must check The Pony Bar out.

Untapped Cities

The Pony Bar at 637 10th Avenue is a craft beer lovers dream. Read more

Sparkie

Get the pork belly cubano . It's a sandwich designed around their meat sticks. U will forever thank me

Nitzan B

Great place, lots of beer options so ask for a taste if you're not sure!

tony rocha

Great selection, but pass this place by and go to Rattle & Hum where you can actually taste some beers and can order flights rather than full pints.

Josh Collins

Plenty of local beers on tap with a few across the states . Pretty lively spot. Hear a bell, yell "NEW BEER !"

Şerzat Safaltın

Cozy and friendly place with beer varities

Meghan McGee

Great selection of beer . Made me feel like I was back in the Adirondacks, Lake Placid

Andrew C

The beer selection is all American and it's delicious. Try a cask ale and ask for samples!

Plamena Георгиева

New beers every day, delicious food and the best bartenders ❤️ oh and great music !

Ann Toran

Beer selection is great. The menu looked great but the Duck Sliders and Buffalo Chicken Perogies were disappointing for the price. Would not order either again.

Manda Shettleton

Great burger . Salty roll. Wasabi pickle !

Sean Murph

Great selection of craft beer . Try something new. Ask the bartender .

Santino Cozza

Great beer selection . Chill atmosphere. Definitely going back soon

Vizualize

Order some craft beer . Eat the yummy sausage sandwich with bacon sauerkraut . Lose your hearing due to how loud it is inside. Good times!

tony rocha

For such a great place with a wonderful selection, they are selling the customers short by not offering flights.

Stephanie M

Awesome rotating draft beer selection . Recently reopened after a fire apparently. Bartender was really slow though :/

Joe Ortiz

Amazing craft beer choices and good food, highly recommended if you live in the Upper East Side!

Mike Sherman

If you're here for the beer , do yourself a favor and go to city swiggers a few blocks away. If you want food or you're a bro, this is your spot.

Gabe Chapa

Nice rotating craft beer selection (only place like it on UES to my knowledge ) but dumb policy on beers over 7.9% abv

Molly Stoddart

Spacious inside , friendly bartenders . Great beer selection !
