Is there such a thing as a craft-beer bar where people are low-key instead of pretentious and will help you find something you like? Yes there is, and you've found it. Enjoy.

Ben Gasparini

Great beer selection , choose your own from the fridge for reasonable prices. Service could use some work especially since you basically serve yourself. Don't expect to hear sports games , music only.

Jacob Ford

Sounds like some punchcutter “brewery ” in an Up & Coming Town , but actually a nice chill cozy regular-filled spot, with one pinball machine tucked in the back.

Dan Goodwin

Great place. Laid back . Lots of beer choices . Grab a beer from the fridge/coolers and pay at the bar . Perfect.

E Dward

One of a few non-douchey bars in this area. Great beer , elevated bar food that you won't hate yourself for eating, and genuinely chill staff . Would be a real gem in any neighborhood .

Joanne Fink

Great atmosphere, cozy on a cold day, formidable selection of beers , friendly bar tender. Nice selection of bites! Can't wait for a return trip!

Brian McG

A bit tucked away off busy 8th Ave (and next to a strip club ), but solid craft beers on tap and even better in cans to go. Lots of NYC breweries to select from.

Jinnie L

I don't drink beer much, I'm more of cocktails/vodka person but I love this beer place :) great craft beers in the fridge ! Cool place to hang with guy friends ;)

Adam Schuit

Truly a hidden gem in Hells Kitchen! Awesome beers and good food. The space is a little too small and loud but it's a cozy craft beer bar .

Jack Osborne

If you're indecisive set the time on your phone to five minutes because otherwise you're never going to choose anything. There's so much choice here!

Will Pickens

An amazing rotating draft list and fridges with some favorites and newbies. Don't miss "grandpa's fridge ". I love this place!

Michelle Stangl

Bartender was super nice. Place had a turntable and played records for music . Loved that old school flair. Food smelled good but i didn't order. Try two different flights to try variety of beers .

Ana Prince

Like beer is good - excellent neighborhood craft beer bar

Brew York

On a quiet residential block steps from Midtown is this beer bar and shop, featuring 12 taps, a cask engine , countless bottles, and a "grandpa fridge " stocked with cans of old-school regional lagers .

Alfredo Sierra

The place is great, intimate , good music . Blonde beer selection isn't extensive and $10 for a draft is insane for this place. Two beers + cheese nachos and total was $32, ridiculous for this place!

Tian Xie

Cozy and clean bar with a really friendly and helpful staff that. Smells much better than pony bar !

Michelle Shaffer

By far my favorite bar in NYC - fantastic beer selection , knowledgeable staff and great chill atmosphere that can be hard to come by in Manhattan.

Viljami Aittomäki

Cozy beer bar with a nice selection only a few blocks away from Times Square. Recommended If you happen to like beer !

Racky Ross

Such a great surprise. A pub for locals a few blocks away from times square! Great selection of local beers and warm atmosphere.

Steve O'Neill

Good rotational beers if you are in to trying out different types of beer . Pick your own flight is a nice touch too. Small place never too crowded .

Great environment and the bartender was super friendly , she pointed out some good local beers that I tried out and they were awesome!

Johannes Steudle

Nice selection of beers ! Local beers as well as Belgian and German beers 😊👍

Wonderful atmosphere and moderately priced . Good local crowd off the beaten path of Times Square.

Andres Pachon

Ole smokey hits the spot with a fresh beer on tap...try the meatballs ...don't be afraid to ask the knowledgable staff for beer bottle recommendations...

Alyssa Vansickel

Best craft beer selection in all of midtown. Go here if you want bottles to home or just a small bar to hang out in.

Chris Steele

A beery, cozy oasis that somehow exists apart from the surrounding madness of the Theater District. The flights on the menu reward the curious.

Karen

Lots of locals and loyal customers. Very comfy feel to the bar .

Daniela Gilsdorf

The first place I stop by when I'm in town ! Great selection of beer and the friendliest staff and guests ever!!

Great place full of a great selection of great beer . Love it. No fruit , so don't even ask for an orange in your Hefe.

Daniel W

Amazing beer selection . They have single cut, cigar city , dogfish. All the greats.

Joe P

My goto spot for beers after work. So many great craft selections and place doesnt have a midtown corporate feeling. Good for dates and never too crowded . Food is kind of meh though.

Rebecca Demi

Has a downtown vibe. Great beer for beginners. Bartenders are like a beer mixologists . Go with friends! Raffle fundraisers. Bathroom is super clean .

Bruno Carbone

Good choice of taps, little too noisy , excellent variety of bottled beers . Price is just about right for hells kitchen.

A L E X

Friendly , cozy bar . Plenty to try. Find your new favorite beer here!

Alex Still

A real beer shop in the theater district! Pop in and drink a draft beer while you shop for bottled beer .

Chris Konecny

For the sophisticated beer drinker which is kind of annoying but otherwise a great place. Any place that serves cask beer is a great place.

Mark Heyert

Location is great if you're going to a show or just want to beat the Times Square hubbub. Good cream ale selection .

Jeremy Davis

Grab your favorite craft beer from one of the many fridges , pay at the bar , and enjoy! Good small bites as well .
