Do you like sitting around with friends drinking rare craft beer , but can only comfortably fit 2 in your tiny apt? Just come here! Comfy couches , super chill . Plug for your charger by the couches too!

Travis Melvin

Nice 12 draft lineup with at least 1-2 local beers all the time. fair prices , half pours, great staff , growlers n bottles for takeaway . meats n cheeses but haven't tried. Great afternoon pint hideout

Chris Dignes

For the love of all things holy, don't press the glass-cleaning fountains without a glass on top. Everyone's going to judge you when you get them wet.

7th.List

New. Expects to host beer tastings on a weekly basis. Coolers stocked with takeout bottles and cans from around the world, there’s a bar serving about a dozen beers on draft and more. Read more

Melody Han

Like the living room you always wanted and can't afford to have in NYC so just come and hang like it's your own. Amazing beer selection and great gourmet pantry items for sale. Board games !

Dave Richard

Came here after flying in to nyc for the first time. Bartender was incredibly friendly . Really enjoyed our drinks here, great selection! They also have board games to play

eme

Love this. One of my favorite beer spots in the city . Group-friendly, chill vibes, comfy couches/seating, back patio and a great selection of drafts. Beers available for take-out too!

Ellie Rountree

One of the best spots in NYC for local beer . The owners wife also did the flowers for my wedding and I couldn't be more biased in a good way. Good peoples run this. Through and through.

Anna Frenkel

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN LIFE AND/OR WHEN WORKING FROM A BAR . Meat & cheese plates , power outlets , bathrooms , projector for sports games , free wifi (pw 6464227103), comfy seating , hipsters , happiness.

quite a number of craft beers on tap along with notations of each including ANV, style and date tapped...large variety of bottle for take-home consumption!

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Great selection of beers on tap and cozy couches . Usually pretty mellow and relaxed vibe , never too crowded . Make sure you pick up a special bottle on your way out! Found Pumking recently.

Time Out New York

Beer store with a bar ? Beer bar with a store? Whatever the hell it is, this erudite yet unpretentious ode to all things ale beguiled wide-eyed beer novices and grizzled hops nerds alike. Read more

Doesn't get better than this. Have a few pints while you are there, sit at the large table in the back and catch some of the game on the large screen . Buy some great beer to bring home.

Justin Barton

Interesting spot. Beer store in the front, bar in the middle, chill tables and couches in the back. This places draws the Williamsburg-hipster-like crowd to the Alphabets. Good beer selection

Home Sweet Beer

With 16 craft beers on tap and hundreds in bottles (just to take away ), this pleasant place provides you also a wide variety of cheeses . Fill your glass, order a cheese plate and enjoy!

Desirée MacDonald

Everything is fantastic here. I am not a beer drinker so I always get the cider . Lunch must-have is the brown bag special and for dinner , be sure to get the cheese plate !

Denis Sosnovtsev

Laid back bar with a solid set of craft beer drafts, communal picnic tables , a projector for games, and a reasonable noise level.

The Brew Noob

In the front of this craft beer bar is a solid fridge with many hard-to-find beers in bottles and cans- take your favorites back home with you!

Dens

Go to the cooler on the right hand side as you walk in. Find the Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer (red label). It's really something special.

Katie Klein

Everyone should come here always and never leave. Service is OUTSTANDING and the mayor/owner/manager has the most charm. Bring your friends , drink beer .

Dens

If the Blue Mountain bourbon barrel ale is on tap , get it. And the olives . And the cheese w the little truffle nuggets baked in.

????

Amazeballs. Comfy couches if you are able to nab them. Chill . Love it here. Bad: if you buy the refridge. beer you can't drink there. Can only drink those on tap

Brew York

This bottle shop and beer bar is open till 2am on weekends. Grab a craft beer at a nice price, then gather with your friends at the communal table , or cozy up by the couches in the back.

Justin Barton

I was only in this place for 20 minutes, but I want to go back. Great layout, retail up front, bar in middle and chill lounging in the back. They also serve food items. Extensive beer selection

DoubleDeuce

Great place to drink some craft beer and play some board games . Beers on tap or you can buy some roadies to take home. Funny handwriting signs in the bathroom too.

İpek A.

If you like different kind of beers and sandwiches this is your spot. Lovely staff and cosy place .

Lisa L

It's like a library and a bar made love. It's a libar. Knowledgable bartenders and rare beer ! Will go back!

henry baker

I'm a huge fan. You will feel at home hanging out here, or will get a great deal on stuff to go. Also, fabulous cheese , man's greatest food.

Lori Luo

A relaxed beer shop/bar that is perfect for lounging with friends during the day or night. They'll let you bring in your own food as they don't really serve any.

Behrad Eats

This place a great draft selection and a very relaxed atmosphere with comfortable couches to enjoy your beers on.

Tim Vetter

For takeaway I usually skip the domestics and hit the first cooler to the right as you enter, for cheap singles of various delicious and hard-to-find German Pilsner , Weisse, and Bock.

Ashley Rose

Don't forget to order your meat and cheese plate while you enjoy your beer and play some jenga

Fatherly

Get out of your living room and go have a beer in somebody else’s. There are over-sized leather chairs and couches and arguably the best selection of breweries in the city . Read more

Kristina Rudic

LOVE this place. It's the place to go alone, with a date, or with a huge group. Perfect all around and amazing revolving beer selection .

Amelia

Best beer in the city , hands down. The cheeses are dangerously amazing. The atmosphere is like being at your best friends house. You seriously have to check this gem out!

Raphael Langenscheidt

A cold, dark, pricey place to have a beer . In summer, perfect to escape the heat. Awesome selection of regional beers to take out .

Sam Gil

Great beer . Comfy couches . Games. Can bring in bobwhite fried chicken from next door.

Berk Kapicioglu

We were here on a Tuesday and there was trivia night . It was so cool and collegial. I literally felt I was a freshman in college.

Emily Wilson

Nice, quiet bar with good beer and a laid back atmosphere . Come with your laptop or come with a friend or two.

Michael Holdsworth

Amazing range of beers from around the world. Their own beers are superb and you should try them first.
