Great prices, and they have a good selection of gluten free beers! Will definitely be coming back here, great to have gf beer options at a decent price in a cool spot.

It can be a little crowded outside but its still a nice place to have a beer or cider. There is a diverse selection of beers available.

Great selection of beers on tap and HUGE can selection. The staff is knowledgeable and can point you in the right direction if you have any questions

Great selection friendly staff who gave amazing recommendations

This is my favorite craft beer store in the city! Its such a nice aggregate of both local and international beers. Its easy to navigate to different types of brews to satisfy each current craving. Ive discovered many awesome breweries because of City Swiggers. Once the pandemic ends, Ill gladly frequent this place with friends to sample even more from their stores.

Weve been in the neighborhood for a year but never came here. We will now visit every Sunday! They have beers from every region you can think of. Theyre very knowledgeable and dont have any chip on their shoulder (unlike most places in Manhattan)

The guys that work there are really helpful and knowledgeable. You can browse without anyone bothering you but if you need help or have a question, they are ready to help you with a smile!

This is one of my favorite place to grab beers. Great selection, consistent updates on social media, very friendly staff.

Lots of different singles you can try. They can be a bit expensive, but you can try a bunch of different beers without committing to a whole 4/6-pack, so it probably winds up being a wash in the long run.

Amazing selection and friendly staff

Great beer choice. Some outdoor seating. Very friendly staff.

Great craft beer selection

Honestly, a great find here in Manhattan. After searching through several stores to only find IPAs and sours, etc, I stumbled across this place on Google Its super hard to find dark beers during the summer anywhere in stores, and they had a ton here. Ended up buying 10 different beers and will definitely go back.

We stopped by and it was a great idea! they have a ton of bottles on display which we looked at for a while like a museum. they also have a small bar with taps available which was the main reason for the visit. the bartenders were awesome and we had great conversation with them. we did end up getting a couple bottles to go as well. cheers!

You can find most any beer there and ciders too!

Great selection of beers from all over the world and US micro-breweries!

Great beer selection and great prices 👍

Two nice people bought me elite beer.

Excellent neighborhood craft beer store & tasting spot. Their selection is constantly updated with fine brews of all styles from local, national, and global breweries. Staff is friendly and helpful as well. Dont be shy about asking for recommendations.I discovered this place during the coronavirus pandemic so unfortunately tasting events had not been going on but I cant wait for things to settle down so I can attend one.

Great beer selection, friendly staff

One of the best additions to Yorkville in ages. Great beer and great people. Looking forward to enjoying a pint at their bar again soon. Until then Ill have to satisfy my craving with my carefully hoarded purchases.

I love this place!! They have a huge variety (much more than any other similar type of shop I’ve visited in Manhattan), and their prices are super reasonable (note: $10 credit card minimum, and I think the corking fee is $3 if you want to drink bottles/cans you buy while there). Personally, I don’t like beer, so I go here for ciders because they always have a large selection (again, more cider variety than most other retailers/groceries in the city). Plus, they do free tastings most Wednesday’s & Fridays!

Love this place. There beer selection here is fantastic and they are always rotating through different beers as well (in addition to the normal holiday rotations that you would expect). There’s normally tastings twice a week as well. I’ve only gotta beers to go but they seem to have a good selection of drafts at the bar. If you want to drink one of the beers from the fridge or shelf you need to pay a corking fee (around $4 I believe).

What a great place. John, our bartender was so personable. Felt like I knew him for years. Outstanding beer selection to go and a really nice tap selection. Make a day of it. Work up your thirst in Central Park then walk over. Will definitely head back over.

As a teacher I can attest that the staff are not only provide excellent service but they are knowledgeable in beers. The people there are friendly and courteous.

Great spot if youre into crafts. Ive been twice and the second time I asked how long its been there and the associate informed me that it had been there for eight years... 😲😲😲 That said, like I said before, if youre into crafts youll enjoy the shop. Its literally variety overload. The amount selection is incredibly vast. They have a few beers on tap and some seating towards the rear. A great place but my only ding, if you want to call it one is that the front of the location is a little dark but that just me.

An unsurpassed beer selection and a great staff. A real neighborhood bar feel. I recommend you stop by if youre in the neighborhood and enjoy one of the superb beers they have on tap.

A great place with unbelievable selection of Craft Beers. Also the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. There is a soft light Ambiance with a romantic feel.

Impressive selection. Stumbled upon it on the way home from an event. Unfortunately, they were closing soon, but I would definitely like to come back again and shop for even longer. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend for any real beer lover.

Great selection, including gluten free beers.

Missing this place. Amazing and ever-changing beer selection, friendly staff, beer tasting events. Cant wait to go back.

Long time regular. Prices are good compared to similar places. Selection is hard to beat. The crowd tends to be on the older side, but usually a good vibe. All of the people that work here are awesome.

One of the best kept secret/dive bars on the UES. They have a ton of canned/bottled beers that you can buy and drink there, AND 14 beers/ciders in tap. They rotate them regularly and on Wednesday’s have free tastings! This is a laid back atmosphere with 90’s grunge music playing, it’s one of my fave places to hang and bring friends in nyc.

Great place!! My only thing I’m concerned with is having beers that can spoil on the floor and not in the fridge such as Sip of sunshine. That beer even says “keep cold”. Makes me Leary to purchase certain beers here. NEIPAs are the only beer I’d be concerned about with that. Otherwise absolute amazing spot!!! I used to go to City Hops on 2nd and 63rd. This place blows them away and are much friendlier than that guy. If I could give 4.8 stars I would.

Best beer selection in the city. Not cheap, but fair given the extensive variety there. Good beers on tap as well to try out.

Best selection of gluten free and regular beers. Every time I go they have something new.

Jolly good folks, very nice selection, go have a pint.

Excellent selection that is both broad and deep. Tons of local craft stuff, domestic craft, as well as an impressive import selection. Esoteric and varied draft selection as well. Reasonable corkage fee means that even if you arent thrilled with the draft selection, youll find some bottle or can that is of interest to you.

This place is fantastic except for this one bartender/cashier.Extremely rude. I accidentally sat somewhere I wasn’t suppose to and he was very very rude about it. He is not what customer service is suppose to be like. Very unprofessional. He has a beard and wears transition lenses and a blue trucker hat. Avoid when he is there. Very unfriendly. All the other staff members here are fantastic, why can he not follow suit.

Best beer selection in the planet!! Owners are great people!! Stop by to see Lindsay and JP

Wonderful beer selection at the bar and for takeout. Helpful staff can guide you to great take home options for beer. Probably one of the best places to buy beer for take home if you live in the upper east side.

This is a great spot to find a hard to get bottle or a few cans for the park. The staff are eclectic and friendly. Swiggers also has a rotating tap list (14 at a time) featuring some great beers and ciders. Recently, they have tastings from small to large breweries a few times a week. It’s a great place if you’re looking for a new style or new to the neighborhood and tired of the old bodega IPAs.

One of the best places to buy beer in the UES!

Solid location to grab craft beer if you live in the neighborhood or are visiting the museums.The draft beer list isnt extensive but the options are fairly diverse, with a few fridges to choose from as well. The decor leaves a lot to be desired (think Good Beer in the East Village, but more room) and the $7 corking fee on bigger bottles is a bit of an anomaly, even in NYC.

Whenever Im in the neighborhood I drop by for a few beers. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I have engaged in conversations with the bartender and other customers. I enjoy trying the different beers ontap, which they will let you sample. The selection of food is limited and the bottled beers for sale are expensive. If you want to drink a bottled beer onsite there is a $3 dollar fee. Overall I like City Swiggers, and will go back and recommend them to friends.

Like home

Staff are very helpful. Good selection of craft beers. My only wish is that it was alphabetized by brewery or something. It can take a while to find what you are looking for on your own.

Great place to find some eclectic brews, foreign and domestic. Plenty of your common mainstays as well. Geared towards mixed singles (bottles and cans) purchases. Can chill out and drink on site as well. Be prepared to put a dent in your wallet. Its always hard to limit my selection.

My go-to spot when I want to try new beers.Because City Swiggers has a veritable smorgasbord of of options for you choose from both on tap and on shelf. Tired of your plain old options of beer? Search by origin or style. Something look interesting on tap? Have a sample and expand those horizons. Youre more than likely to end up getting suggestions from the beer geeks willing to pass on knowledge.Its a candy store. Except they sell beer.

Possibly the best selection of craft beer, cider etc bottles and cans in the Upper East side. Also over a dozen drafts for on/off premise consumption. Come back regularly for the limited release beers.

Great beer selections. Can mix 6-pks and cozy little bar area and back tables.Great place for trying different things one can at a time.

Fantastic beer selection but poor customer service. I’ve found the staff to be unfriendly and rude on several occasions.

This has a huge bottle selection in the front and more cider than I can find anywhere else in the upper East side. The tap list is good too and the bartender is very knowledgeable about everything they sell. They usually have tastings on Wednesdays and Fridays for new breweries.

I spent the recent blizzard (Jonas) here with a friend and we had a blast! We tried the beer flight and then moved on to find some delicious cider in their selection. There was a LOT of different beers to try and some delicious empanadas. Their bathroom needed some cleaning, but then again we were in the middle of a blizzard so I wasnt even expecting to find this great place!

For those of you tired of the usual beer selection one sees in bars and stores, this place is for you. They have a bevy of craft beers to chose from as well more well known beer brewers lesser known or found beers. On top of all of this, there is a small bar area for you to order from their drafts which you can order to go in a growler or grab a few and sit down and enjoy the art on the walls curated and created by the staff of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (yes, not only to they protect and curate art in that fine institution, but some of them create their own art which is finely displayed on this locations walls). If you are always wanting to try new beers, this is the place for you.

Place to get craft beers on tap and to goThey even had Goose Island bourbon County stout 2018 on tap during this difficult time

This place has an insane beer selection. You could probably drink a new beer once a day for a year and still not try them all. They also have Taos for draft beers to drink there and have free samples every now and then. It can be a little tough to find something if youre looking for it specifically, but maybe thats just to encourage you to try new things. It can also get a little claustrophobic inside at times and prices arent cheap - but thats NYC for you.

A well respected establishment and lots of great beverages to choose from. Does not disappoint in any way. The owners are so helpful and friendly. I Love going to this place.

Everyone here seems pretty tight-knit and theres a good beer selection. We came late to meet with friends, so I likely wasnt getting the full experience, but what I had, I liked.

Over 900 types of beer to buy, whaaaaat?? Knowledgeable and down-to-earth staff with an opportunity for tastings. They also have growlers available to go!

Awesome idea, and I look forward to seeing how it grows. I went with a friend who lives down the block (lucky guy) a few weeks ago. I was blown away by the selection of beers they carried. You can mix and match as you see fit, which is great for trying new beers without having to commit to drinking six of them. There is a bar area with several draft beers, which you can either take with you in growlers, or enjoy right on the premises. The bar area felt a little under developed at the time. The place is definitely more store than bar, but Im curious and optimistic about its future.

Excellent selection of craft cans, bottles, and draft from around the country, with a focus on local breweries. Friendly staff always willing to help. Prices are reasonable considering the location and quality.

Great selection of spirits.

So much beer available! Love the place for its variety! They also have a constantly rotating beer on tap, which keeps the place interesting. The bartenders are great as well, be sure to strike up a conversation with them!

This is an awesome venue to purchase and enjoy a variety national and international beer brands.

Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately very expensive. Only place I can find great craft beer on the UES, though, so I keep going back.

Excellent selection & service and great rotating drafts. Best beer store in the UES!

Extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! Great for a quick drink, staying awhile, or stocking up for the week.

The crew is friendly, knowledgeable, and engaged. The tap list is well curated, but the growler pricing is rarely a good value, and the tasting bar has no knee room, so its the bottle and can selection that is the real gem here.

Awesome

Great to be able to buy the best beer on tap or by the can!

One of my favorite beer bars on the upper east side. Great collection of beers to go too

Really great beer selection, both draft and packaged. Prices seem a little high on certain items compared to similar bars/bottle shops but most items seem appropriately priced.

Huge selection of beers to go, solid tap list that rotates frequently. Generally knowledgeable bartenders. Chill vibe, usually pretty quiet.

Woah! 900 beers! Make your own 6-pack! Most beers are around $3 each, ranging up to $20 each. Theres a $3 corking fee if you want to drink it there. There were several on draught too, but I was just there to get interesting beers to bring to Thanksgiving. Three six packs, and no repeats! I could have filled three more! You know how people say they want to quit their job and start a microbrewery in their garage? Well I think most of them did, because look at all these beers!

This place is amazing. Like beer heaven. First time coming in can be overwhelming, but the staff is great with providing guidance and suggestions.

Great selection! Love rotating tap selection. Helpful staff.

Great selection but pricy. Their drafts are always interesting and I never leave the store without a six-pack of beers Ive never tried before. Definitely worth a stop in.

Great place to try some beers, take home some or fill a growler. Always have something new to try.

A cigar lounge type place, but for the craft beer lovers. where else can you pick off of a wall of hundreds of different bottles and drink on spot. Cant go wrong. Plus they do get some exclusives and reserves that most places dont in Manhattan.

Good variety of choices. Quick service

If youre into craft beer, Cityswiggers is your safe haven on the Upper East Side. Theyve got some 600+ beers on the shelves, allowing you to literally try something different every time you walk in there. They also change up the beers on tap each week so you and your buddies can grab a flight each week after work.

Beer here!Tremendous selection of craft beers, micro breweries and cidre. Congenial + knowledgeable staff.

The best selection of beer I have ever seen......but you pay for it $$$

Best selection of bottled/canned/growlered beers in the UES (at least, that I know of). Being a Michigan native, I appreciate the surprisingly good showing here, with even some of the lesser-known breweries like Jolly Pumpkin making an appearance. If youre looking for something specific, this is definitely a place to try.

Retail beer + bar. Very relaxed environment with a knowledgeable, friendly staff and unmatched beer selection.

Rotating selection of tasty beers. Chill place great for hanging out and being able to hear each other.

Its like your friends dads basement, with a way better beer selection.

The most incredible beer variety Ive ever seen. Great staff.

They have about 10 beers on tap and the bottle/can selection is both pristine and affordable in comparison with other bottle shops in the manhatten area. Around 5$ averages for pint cans and about 3$ for the 12oz. Some vary. West coast/east coast IPAs, bustling sours, enjoyable saisons, this is definitely a place where you can settle with your preference. Helps that the people running the game are amazing. Best part was the serenity. Its hard to find quietness in this big city.

Tap List is Solid (Expensive). Friendly Staff & Owner. Large Bottle Selection ($3 Cork fee). Nice chill atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

Great selection of all styles of beer. It would be great if they would have a better tasting selection!

Great selection, always a crowd. The shelves could be better organized and you have to pay extra if you want to drink your purchase at the bar. The selection is very trendy - IPAs, saisons, and various sours (geuze, wild ales) abound.

Cool, hip spot with a HUGE craft beer selection. They host beer tastings and have a small bar as well.

Great selection of craft beers. No generic beers on sale here. Usually a rotating selection of 8 beers on tap and regular tasting events.

Coolers full of beer from all over the world—and all reasonably priced per bottle. Grab a six-pack holder and go shopping!

Excellent selection available for anyone interested in craft beers.

My favorite place to shop for beer. They always have at least 7 beers on tap to try. You can drink while you shop!

Unbelievable selection and some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff around. The rotating tap selection (with growlers available) and free weekly bottle / can tastings are not to be missed.

Great selection. Ok prices
