This place is close to Times Square new york. This place has lovely vibes where you can enjoy a drink or two with your office colleague or friends on the way back home. They have good variety of craft beer.

First off, let me just say, this place is fking awesome. They have a great selection of beer on tap or in the fridge. Stopped by early in the day last Friday and again after we saw Book of Mormon. Simply put, I definitely had too much fun here and felt the consequences the next morning.We were able to get our hands on some King Sue and Pseudo Sue, which was a big highlight of this weekend trip.

Great little spot for a few beer and a bite to eat. Great beer selection on draft and 6 fridges full of cans. Service was quick and friendly. What else do you need...

Fantastic bar! Rotating craft beers on tap, and a wide selection of bourbon/scotch. Local hangout with a great vibe. Best kept secret in the neighborhood.

I must caveat, I am from Oakland CA, with different standards is beer.Marginal beer bar, limited selection, and some undercarbonated. Tried 3 of 8 beers, one was great the other two just so so. Main issue was 8 beers on tap for a beer bar seems pretty weak to me. Vibe was alright, not what Id like but not bad.

Great place for craft beer. Bartenders are all very knowledgeable and can provide recommendations. Small place with a great vibe. Small but excellent selection of whiskies Can get a little noisy due to the size. Love this place as a getaway from the nearby tourist area.

Stopped here on a spur of the moment decision after a Broadway play, and this spot is a hidden gem, its not very big and a bit hidden but delightful never the less. Their beer variety was really great. Id say more than 30 beer selections. These two were amazing. Will definitely be returning to try the wings 😁😁😁

Hopefully I can revise this review. There was no gas to propel the beer on tap so I was unable to imbibe. However the proprietors were nice and there was a nice collection of beer and cider available.

Great craft beers on tap and awesome selection of cans and bottles to take or drink there. Chili is awesome too, almost Anixter between chili and Brunswick stew.

Review №17

Great spot to explore the local and not so local (Great Notion) 👀 craft beer. My only advice is I wish they served beer in the NEIPAs and stouts in snifters.

I was going to take a picture of my food and beer, but its gone now. Sorry.-Amazing experience tonight. Great craft beer/spirit selections. Food was very tasty. Staff and clientele super friendly.

Impressive tap selection highlighting many local / regional IPAs and summer pale ales. Extensive cooler where you can grab a can or bottle and drink at the bar. Cozy and probably easy to miss from the street if you arent looking for it.

A little more cozy not a lot of food options for bar food hence docking a star… decent beers

Great beer bar in hell’s kitchen! Got the ommegang abbey. Dark ale. Very tasty. Fresh. Mmmmm. Lots of fun, unique options here. Came and bottles in the fridge too. So many delicious choices to get drunk. Small and dark inside. But it works.

This place is for bear and whisky, so no fancy stuff here. Which is what we were looking for at the time btw.. Nice place to have couple of drinks after a long day of walk in New York city! Bartender is a nice guy and helps a lot on what kind of house bear you would like to drink.

Nice hidden dive bar in NYC right off Times Square. Only beer and whiskey. They have a wide variety of beers at good prices. Not a good place for a group but a great place for a low key hang out. The bartenders are very nice and attentive.

Review №43

Nice and cozy neighborhood bar serving a decent variety of craft beer on tap and bottled options. Nice atmosphere, good music that is not too loud. All the snacks we tried were tasty and were of decent size. The only nit to pick is the stools are kind of uncomfortable but not terribly. Will be going there again for sure.

Cool bar located downtown. It works a little different than any other place I have been too, which was really cool. You can select one of the cans (of which there are MANY) and have the bartender pop it open for you. They also have some good beer on tap and considering the selection, you will definitely find something (or many things) you like. It cleared out pretty good around dinner time on a Saturday which was nice, and all the staff we amazing and provided great suggestions. Next time we are in NYC, we will make sure to come back!

I visited on March 3 2020. I was walking back to the hotel from Times Square. It was raining and the New York fire department was working on a building across the street. I came in when the rain started coming down. We had nachos. This place is a safe and sanitary place to visit. Keep in mind the virus was spreading. They kept me safe.

Review №51

Great, chilled out bar in the middle of Hell’s Kitchen. Wide selection of beer in their fridges going from east to west coast. Imports in bottles and cans are in the back. They change up what they have on tap regularly and have something for everybody. Bar food is pretty good as well. Bartenders are also friendly and attentive. Can get quite crowded on Thursday-Saturday nights since it is a smaller space. Would definitely recommend.

Review №52

Great spot if you are interested in craft beer. Have a wide selection of draft beer, and an even larger selection of cans and bottles in the cooler. If you cant find it here, you probably will have a hard time finding it anywhere in Manhattan. Friendly staff are willing to give you recommendations, which is nice when the selection is this varied.

Cool neighborhood bar vibe. 12 handles and about 100 bottles and cans. Had the buffalo wings which were good with a little kick. Would have given one more star if there was one additional bar keep and the wait wasnt so long.

Popped in here between Harry Potter performances. Great little pub with some great New York beers. I had a Chicago dog as well. I recommend this place over many of the tourist traps around Broadway.

Review №60

Really cool vibe, excellent beers on tap and I like the idea of picking a bottle or can from the fridge and having the bartenders pop it open and pour it into an ice cold glass for you. Probably the most laid back and accessible bar in midtown. For serious fans of beer.

Good selection of beer and whisky. Rob was a good bartender, very friendly and prompt. Good atmosphere, dim lighting. This is a very small bar, max occupancy is probably 60 or less. Good place to go to avoid drama and had a good night with a lady on the first date

Great local-feeling bar steps from the hustle of Times Square. Awesome service, great beer, and simple but delicious foods. Truly a unicorn in the midst of New York. Also, you can buy beer to-go, but stick around for a few and meet some fellow locals and travelers.

Favorite bar in the whole town and the owners are real people that love their customers. Get here early before the shows let out, otherwise youll be standing the whole time. They also have a cooler for mix and match to go.

Review №71

Solid digs near Broadway. Phenomenal selection of beers that you can drink there or take away (e.g., they had multiple LIC Beer Project brews on tap), tasty bar food (the $8 hot dog was prime), and generally good atmosphere (the Oklahoma and other Broadway-themed coasters were a nice touch).

Ja
Review №72

This is one of my favorite stops when visiting NYC. Very friendly place. The craft beer selection on tap is pretty short but their bottle selection is much larger and offers more variety. Beer on tap is good and fresh, and the food is really good too. They used to have a larger/better bottle selection but maybe I caught them short on this visit.

Good selection of brew on tap, many more by the bottle/can. Friendly staff. Whiskey if you want hard liquor (no vodka, rum, gin, etc). Mostly local crowd. Check the black board for current offers.

Review №78

Fun selection in the big fridges toward the back. AC was on full-blast the last time I visited which was a pleasant surprise - it had been noticeably warm in there my visit prior. I might expect more on tap from a bar called beer culture, but theres probably something for everyone.

Review №80

Maybe Ive lived in the suburbs for too long, but I think these guys take themselves a little too seriously. Since it good good reviews, my wife and I went there for a couple of drinks and bartender could not have been less helpful - basically asked us to read the board for drafts and walk to the refrigerator for different craft beers - no suggestions or offer of helping select something new. Perhaps a good place for connoisseurs, but not for folks who want to try new brews

Review №81

Beer culture is great, for those of us into beers and into tasting a wide variety of beers. Their burgers are good too. As a late night post-show debriefing hot-spot, beer culture is perfect.

Review №83

Good beer. The place says no vodka, no gin ... no bitchen, only beer and whiskey. Im sold. The Beer and whiskey is out of this world. I had good stouts, Porters and whiskey that taste incredible. Just try, you wont be disappointed, even if you only drink vodka or something like that.

Review №84

This place does not look like a spot that would fit into the Theatre District, but there it was amongst the Broadway show venues. It was a wonderful spot to spend Friday night with good friends and drinks. The space has a good blend between bottle purchases from the fridge and the selective tap menu. I especially liked the ambiance as it was inviting and far from pretentious. I was able to enjoy a couple of glasses of Youngs Double Chocolate Stout while the rest of my crew stuck to the seasonal Oktoberfest ales on tap that night. Cool spot and def worth at least another visit.

Ro
Review №85

Peter the GM is very cool. Place has a cool vibe and I can see this as an easy place to hang out after work. Food is reasonably priced and drinks are only beer and whiskey rather no white colored alcohol...vodka, gin, etc. Lol

Review №87

The owners love of beer has definitely come through in the business. I came from it if town to try some beer that is not distributed to my state, and I was not disappointed. The variety is nothing less than spectacular. I was not able to find a bad beer, or an IPA older than 30 days. The atmosphere is so friendly and inviting, and the food is really good as well. Great prices, phenomenal variety make this place a must visit for beer lovers and novices alike. When I come back to NY I am making this my first stop.

I love this place. A relaxed spot, usually with cool conversation, and a good spot to try new beers. I am a proud purveyor of the Beer Culture.(Being a couple blocks from Port Authority is a plus.)
