If you want an amazing beer selection, and a delicious melt- absolutely stop here. Spaced out indoor seating options were comfortable and covid friendly (lots of outdoor seating, too!) Great location if youre out site seeing and want someplace more chill to sit down and grab a beer.

This place definitely has a lot of beer! Take my 3 star review with a grain of salt, because I dont drink any alcohol. The food isnt fantastic but thats probably not why youre here! Enjoy the beers.

I happened to be in the neighborhood and came across City Beer. Wanted to surprise my boyfriend with some hoppy IPAs and they didn’t disappoint. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and steered me in the right direction. My only disappointment was I didn’t have time to stay for a beer. Hopefully I’ll head over there again soon. Thank you City Beer!

Wow this place is great!Rotating beer selection on tap with plenty more canned options. This is a great option for a dog friendly, casual outdoor dining hangout. While most outdoor dining locations in the city are not actually COVID-safe, this location maintains open airflow with partitions between groups.

Flies in my beer (twice), 30 minute wait for a grilled cheese (that was burnt), corkage fee for having a beer IN A RESTAURANT. Awful experience.

A great go to place in midtown. Midtown is not known for having a place to grab a craft beer and damn good sausage. Highly recommend

Excellent! The bar tender knows his stuff. Im not generally a beer person but he took the time to figure out where my tastes lie and found not one, but TWO beers that I really enjoyed! Plus the sausage was amazing!

Fantastic addition to the neighbourhood. These guys know their beer and clearly love what they do. The focus seems to be on interesting, flavoursome beers from the US, but there’s also a solid European offering too. There are taps galore along with two huge fridges - left of the bar (near the entrance) are the American cans and bottles, and right of the bar (far side) are their Euro counterparts.Extra points for stocking War Flag, Trailblazer, and best of all: Trooper.

Newly opened, got to hang out with Marco for a pint a a couple samples. Place seems very promising, the space was subleased and remodeled from the old cafe for TD Bank. Some very good choices for beer for the sophisticated palate or folks with a general interest and appreciation for the craft.

I found a place to come with friends and chill close to home and work. !! The girl behind the bar really knows about beer. It’s pretty quite on Sunday afternoon but definitely I will back with the guys.The beer selection is great!For now a classic one.

Great selection of craft beer. Wish the staff were half as good, unfriendly bunch ...

Review №20

Best beer selection in Murray Hill, and by far some of the best service!!! In a neighborhood not known for its niceness, City Beer is a beautiful oasis.To anyone not noticing the clearly posted sign stating the standard $2 corkage policy that all beer stores in NYC having a dine-in menu and bar charge, kindly be more aware in the future and refrain from posting bad reviews.

Review №21

Really cool spot to check out a wide selection of beers from different spots, both in and out of the city/state. It’s nice to be able to try just one can of different types without having to commit to a 4-pack. They also fill crowlers here and have a nice outdoor space. The employees are always super nice the few times I’ve been there!

Best truffle grilled cheese ever! I didn’t mind sitting outside one bit, there’s a heater and plastic for protection. Making it feel relaxed to wear a sweater and button up. Love they all wear masks and so friendly!

Great selection of beer. Owner is very knowledgeable and interactive with his customers. Hooe you can make it uo to Warwick to check out some of our great breweries. Food was excellent also. Good luck getting through the rest of this pandemic. Best, Bill

Review №25

Extensive selection on craft beers and ciders, in bottles and cans and on draft. Prices from the moderate to the splurge. Can also take out growlers and crowlers. Sleek industrial space with small half moon bar. Small menu of sausages and snacks. Right now (during pandemic) they also have a tent in the street with tables. Highly recommend this place for beer aficionados, or gifts for those who are.

They have outdoor dining which was what made us stop here for some drinks. The outdoor space has heaters and separates different groups which was nice. Tons of beer selection both bottles/cans and draft. They had gluten free beer which was nice. If we wanted to drink we had to order a food item so we got the Red Devil. Said it came with chips and cornichons but in reality it was just a handful of chips (willing to overlook that). In total we got 6 beers, 4 drafts and 2 cans. No real complaints until I saw the itemized receipt today. I was charged a $2 corkage fee TWICE so total of $4 (assuming for the 2 beer cans).1. There was no signage about this charge posted anywhere in the store or menu!2. It was beer cans not wine and we opened the beer cans ourselves. They didnt even open it.3. We bought the cans at the store.4. They didnt even tell us. I found out when I looked at my receipt.Literally a scam! Theres another person who mentioned this scam. Wish I saw that persons comment because I would not have came here. Was actually going to come back here since I work in the area but definitely not now.

Review №33

Honestly, this place is great. In a Covid era theyve created a very safe and friendly environment. Prices can very on certain beers, but the melts are 100% worth the price. Make sure to bring a group because splitting a beer and cheese melt honestly has to be one of my new favorite past times. Definitely recommend.IlP.S. Angel, an employee there, is amazing! If he werent on the clock Id definitely have him sit down and join in on a drink at any time. He is extremely knowledgeable, and always quick with a recommendation.

Employee chased me and a co worker out with a broom when I came to inform him about recent wire work in the area making sure they were not affected. Seemed like he was drunk and started treatening us as we walked away from the store.

One of the best beer bars in NYC. Angel, Tyler, and all the other great folks here will make you feel right at home. Recommendations are always on point. Drafts rotate frequently and feature a wealth of beers from NYC and upstate. Also don’t miss the excellent bar snacks and food, especially if you’re a cheese lover.

Ive had this place on my list for a while and it is very small and unassuming. They have an amazingly pricey beer selection and exotic snacks. My partner and I got two beers that came out to $13 but when we said we would be drinking them there, total was suddenly $17. It seems if the price would go up for staying this should be noted somewhere or explained? We requested a receipt that was never sent so now I feel like we got cheated. I would come back to try the food/more beer on tap, but I expect some clarity on the payment situation. Again...pricey!

Fantastic local neighborhood beer bar with a huge selection of craft beers and ciders on draft and in cans and bottles. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Chilled out comes to mind even... Lots of snacks and nibbles and a small/limited menu with things like a meat & cheese plate and grilled cheese.BTW gluten free beverages can be bought here too.Beers both to stay or to go available as well.Staff are really friendly - spent time with both Tyler and Jeff. Nice guys.Cheers!

Guy working at bar was highly focused on me, kept calling me love, touched my back, told me to not be stressed and relax (aka smile). Didnt hear him talking to anyone else that way. Will never recommend that place - there are plenty of other over-priced craft beer store/bars in midtown to choose from.

Review №63

Angel is the man and made me feel welcomed as his energy filled the room. The vibe and decor of the place is great to boot as well as music choice. The selection of beer is solid as well (what truly makes or breaks a place for me) and can see me returning any time Im in the area or not. The place was packed when I went and the demographic of people was from young (21+) to old all brought together for the love of craft beer.

A cornucopia of beers for your choosing from Germany to Australia they dont have it all but they have a lot. In addition they have draft beers, which you can sit and drink or you can purchase a growler and bring it home. Pleasant and knowledgeable staff who are more than willing to assist you in finding a beer or helping you decide what you want.

Review №92

I lift nearby and was thrilled when this place opened. Ive gone in twice, and both times, have stood in front of the beer coolers for 5 minutes without either of the unoccupied staff members offering to assist me.The place is generally unhelpful - none of the beers have visible labels or prices, and the organization of the cooler is haphazard. Im really disappointed to have to return to buying beer at bodegas.

Review №98

Its a dream! The decor is modern, but warm. The owners put smart and competent personnel behind the bar when they could have easily put a rude imbecile there (it happens so often in NYC). Is it slightly over priced for beer? Yes, but Ive never had a flat pour, theyre constantly rotating kegs in and out and the they have coat hooks, power outlets and freely showcase the wifi password. A ton of choices and they give samples without hesitation. Forego the food, but ladies, try truffle chips.
