There is an impressive selection of beer brewed locally and abroad. One can build their own 4 or 6-pack of beer, cider, and /or hard seltzer.

Great selection and staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve found so many new favs coming in here.

Good Beer is a nice spot with an good selection of interesting beers. The do growler refills at very reasonable prices. Thanks for all the good beer!

Fabulous. I had a great time here and got to try some amazing beers.

So Im from the pacific northwest, and its hard to find someone outside of there typically that has a good grasp of the flavor profile that we tend to appreciate over there. I was walking by, saw the store name,thought to myself I like good beer so I started chatting with the guy on break outside and he blew me away with his knowledge of both local and out of state beers! he was very helpful, and now that Im back home and cracked open a couple of cans, he definitely has the beer to back up his knowledge. by far the best beer Ive had on this side of the country, and probably the best service as well. it is my goal to go back before I head home, these guys are amazing! I love good beer and so do they!

Delicious beer, great staff and Dave is the man. A 10/10 recommend if in the are. One of the Og’s in the game for sure.

Do you like beer? Love beer? This is the place for you! Have always left with more beer than I intended to buy...but in a good way. Reasonable prices and helpful staff. Well organized and great selection. Appreciate the diversity of breweries and styles. Cant recommend enough. Love finding something new everytime I stop by. Cheers!

The guy there was well informed and gave me a great recommendation on what to get. Some may call it overpriced but the selection is unparalleled and I really enjoyed my purchase. Good place to talk about beer if youre that type. Im not really but I learned a few things at the counter!

Excellent place to take off beers.

Great selection and the employees are always willing to help me find something new.

The best part of the east village

Julian helped me curate a six pack for a friend - and over the phone, might I add! He was a pleasure to work with and his suggestions were spot on. Would absolutely recommend Good Beer for selection and service. Thanks, Julian! Cheers!

Great selection of craft beer on tap and in bottles. Im a fan of sour beer and this place really fits my palate. I could always find something tasty on tap. I also learned to know and love hazy IPA here. The international bottles are really best of the best, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Aventinus, Lambic etc. Every visit is a absolute pleasure.

There are so many so I asked for help. They were so helpful and I ended up discovering a great local beer 🍺 👍

Great selection, friendly staff! perfect neighborhood spot

Great selection, and incredibly helpful staff. Id give 6 stars, if I could.

I come to New York once a year, and my workmates and I have made it a yearly tradition to stop at Good Beer NYC to stock up for our visit. The selection is wonderful, and their advice is spot on.Because of Covid this year, I called ahead, and David made up boxes for each of us based on the styles we like. That kind of service is something I will always come back for.

Amazing selection of beers. Should be noted that I am not a beer guy or know much about craft beers, I tend to sick to IPAs but I can here with a beer connoisseur who made me expand my pallet for beer tasting. This is one of those places you should visit if you want to try something different or just care to have a great beer and dont really care about being at a crowded bar with a ton of noise. Very low key, get more of a grocery store vibe here (my opinion).. there is seating and they do not serve food or allow you to bring outside food. Just come prepared to enjoy some great beers and I wouldnt be surprised if you end up buying a few bottles to go! Cheers!

I love their little table setting in the back.

Great place and super helpful!

Best selection in the city. Very welcoming staff

Great selection and incredibly knowledgeable staff that can help anyone get into craft beer

Amazing selection and super cool dudes!!

Great staff, great beers, great prices, super chill scene. crushing it. They have a nice way of displaying beers of note by the register. Always multiple unique beers on tap (that Im not seeing at other beer shops/bars)

Incredible beer selection. Pick and choose to stay or to go. They have ciders and ales I couldnt find in a lot of beer specialty shops and theyre pretty knowledgeable and fun to talk to.

I love this place, should be called Great Beer. Always good beers on tap with knowledgeable staff and a really good selection of cans and bottles. They definitely have mostly beers from more local breweries. But they get their fair share of out of town stuff too, including typical European beers. Worth stopping in for sure if you love craft beer.

The people who work here are literally SO nice. A bottle of nice beer (Stone) can be up to 4 bucks but for national craft beers, spending under 20 bucks for a six pack isnt bad. The shop is arranged by region and theres tables to enjoy whatever they happen to have on tap that day. LOVE this place

Reminded me of the days when interesting beer was hard to find and stores like this were the only places to get some of the boutique or imported brews. Except that those places always had passionate beer-fans working there where as the staff at this bar/off-licence were disconnected and unfriendly.Many of their beers were cold stored suggesting they do have good appreciation for the quality of their products but a fair amount wasnt fresh and the fridges were just two large systems so there doesnt appear to be any seperate controls for the different styles of beer.It would be great if the cans and bottles in the store were available to drink on premise as thats generally the appeal of stores like this, for me (although maybe thats a state licensing issue?). There were a good range of styles on tap which were available to drink on premise or for take-away.

Good Beer is really a misleading name. It should be called best beer; reason being is because this store is one of the best curated and best priced in the city. Ive never gone to the place and walked out empty handed or with a bottle that wasnt really worth it. Ive never called ahead and gotten someone who didnt know what they were talking about. Ive never seen them miss a limited release, even if they only have a limited quantity. Basically, this is the best overall beer store Ive been to. Just about the only workout I get these days is the one my arms get from carrying bags of their beer back to Jersey City. Did I mention that the prices are reasonable as well?Good Beer also doubles as a bar somehow. Im not sure about the rules on this, but this may be the most awesome loophole ever. In addition to all the bottles, they always have 8-10 tap selections that are also available by growler. They have food too, but Ive never had it. This is basically the beer store companion to Proletariat. Combine all of this with a 10% discount for 6 bottles or more and special brewery events that occur intermittently, and you have a special place. For an alcoholic at least.

Very kind staff and great selection. I should go more often.

Great selection as one would expect for NYC Only low note - 1 or 2 regulars orbiting the owner with a bit of a chip on their shoulders towards outsiders

If youre into unique craft brews and you dont stop here when in NYC, its plain stupidity... This is the greatest beer store because of selection, organization, and customer service... Come here to talk about, explore new, and enjoy true craft beers! Thanks for a terrific experience!

Its such a treasure house for beer-loving New Yorkers. The staffs are knowledgeable but not pretentious. Hope they keep it that way!

Huge selection of well selected craft beers to enjoy by the pint or as a flight. Staff was really friendly and knowledgeable with their suggestions. Atmosphere is really laid back and chill; no crowds to deal with here!

Had a flight with #s 3, 7, 8 & 9

Amazing customer service, even better wide selection of local beers. What ever your pallet desires they have it here in can and in bottles they do have some selection on tap. So you can try before you buy if its on the tap. 10 dollar credit card minimum. Each can runs about 3 dollars.

Came here on opening day and try to go back whenever I can. Good people, good prices on beer, and they get pretty much everything that is distributed in the city.Its a beer shop, not a bar. A nice place to hang out and grab some solid beer.

This place lives up to its name, I walked in looking for a specific beer that I had no idea if they had. They were knowledgeable and super helpful, they didnt have it (its not available in NY) but directed me to something similar and very very tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone.Ive been back several times and they have been great every time.

Great selection, knowledgeable / friendly staff.

Wonderful bottle shop with knowledgeable employees. All of their beers are relevant in the craft beer industry and they have quite a few New York City brewery selections. A bit far for a person coming from the heights but a must stop when youre in east village.

This is one of my favorite places in NYC. Its a super casual spot with extremely friendly and engaging staff. While theyre very knowledgeable of beer, they may be even more knowledgeable of music - the playlist and ambiance is charming. Their selection of beer is remarkable, if a bit pricey; however, they maintain a good selection of rotating drafts at a fair price, and theyre always willing to offer a taste before you commit to a full glass.

Great bar/bottle shop with an amazing range of US and world beers

Great selection of beer. Friendly and competent staff. They also have about 10 beers on tap for tasting and flights.

Great selection of beers from around the world in both coolers, shelves and on tap but seating is limited to a few tables in the back and one up front. Great to pop by to try before you buy (but youll pay). Knowledgeable staff.

Great place for craft beer and they have a nice stash of draft craft too. Growlers and some seating space. They carry my favorite Trappist Ale too!

This is a very nice place to buy craft beers. The selection is quite sizeable (and for the most part, refrigerated), the staff is very helpful and friendly. They happily recommend you some beers and are quite knowledgeable. It is also possible to stay in and drink beers from tap. I second all other reviewers: if youre into craft beers and are in New York, this is definitely a place to check out.

Great selection of bottles and cans to go as well as beer on tap.

Great selection and prices of craft beers. Possibly the best in the entire city

This is my friends and Is favorite places in the city. Before we all moved, we would come here every Friday after work/school. The tap selection is amazing and rotating fairly often so you always can find something new to try. The bartenders are amazing people that are so easy to talk to, not to mention well-informed about craft beers. Their to-go beer selection is absolutely amazing. I mean from floor to ceiling and more with different bottles and cans. If you are looking for a place that you can have a pint of a great craft beer while shopping for rare and delicious beers, this is the place for you.

Great spot. Great selection of esoteric beers! Friendly staff

Great selection and helpful staff make this a regular stop.

Huge selection of US Craft beer with some well chosen international options. Enjoyed a flight of tap beer from around the North East. Very friendly ad helpful staff!

Great local beer store. Their selection is huge and the staff is knowledgeable. The place also doubles as a bar and has a number of beers on tap. A more intimate alternative to the Whole Foods beer store.

Really fantastic. Great selection of singles, six packs, beers on tap. They do growler fills and have a few tables if youd like to drink there. Not the best atmosphere but the selection more than makes up for that.

A place where you get Alchemist beer. Do I need to say anything more? Awesome collection and super friendly people. Great place to buy beer from.

This is the most comprehensive beer shop I have ever seen. Difficult to find craft beers from all over the globe. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Fill up a growler or mix and match. This is a beer lovers paradise.

This place is a great option for newcomers hoping to discover their favorite beer or old pros trying to find a rare brew. They offer flights of four to help you sample a few different brews on tap and they try and keep at least one cider on tap at all times. I had a cherry cider here November 2012 that was so delicious I bought an entire growler on the spot. Still have the growler, would like more cherry cider. They have a large selection of various beers and accommodate all tastes from ales to stouts to ciders. The staff is super friendly as well and will always talk to you about their available selections. Its a small cozy place and I always enjoy visiting it.

Vast selection of beers and such with a knowledgeable staff and a laid back atmosphere to sample some craft beers while youre there. These guys get it.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The people that work here are extremely knowledgeable of their beer selection and know how to help you find the types youre looking to try. They also do beer tastings and usually have about 3-5 beers on tap to enjoy in the store.

This is my go-to place in the East Village for craft beer and growler refills. They have a great selection of taps (I think 6 or 8) as well as both the entire length of the store having refrigerators and bulk on shelves.There is space to sit and have a beer (from taps only), but I have never taken advantage of it. The staff is super friendly and I know if I had any questions they would take good care of me.

Great gem nestled in Alphabet City cozy neighborhood.. knowledgeable and hospitable staff makes it a pivtol neighborhood store/pub..

While there wasnt an enormous selection, everything they had in stock was great.

Great place to go. Their selection was quite awesome. The staff was very helpful and beers were reasonably priced. It had an atomosphere of a go to place of locals, where true craft beer lovers would go.

One of several bars we planned to visit in and around Alphabet city/the lower east side and it didnt disappoint. Good selection of IPAs on tap, but the bottle selection is exceptional, all separated by region and type, bar owner also shared other local bars to visit and was genuinely interested as to where we had visited previously

Such a friendly place with an outstanding selection of great beer.

Best beer shop in NYC. Knowledgeable staff, super chill place to hangout for a bit.

Great place, great selection, great advice from a beer expert who likes beer an awful lot!

Fun place to come in and try a flight of unusual beers. Super friendly staff and huge selection if you want to buy a bottle / can to take away!

Wish I could drink all the beers on site but great selection otherwise

I love this place. They have variety of American craft beers and Belgian, German, and English imports.Ill still keep my review at 5 stars, but they were sold out of a lot of my favorite beers today (Wednesday). They had no Victory Golden Monkey, no Troegs Perpetual IPA, and no Flying Dog Raging B :(. The clerk said that they place orders once a week on Wednesday and they arrive on Thursday. So if you want to make sure you have your chosen beers in stock, you might want to go after Wednesday.

Amazing selection of beers and cider. Always has the current releases. All beer is priced to go. Also have taps so you have have a pint and plenty of chairs if you want to talk with friends.

Cool spot in a garden-level unit. Great beer selection and the staff is very knowledgable. They carry a great variety of well-culled beers and keep interesting offerings on tap.

Great selection but a bit pricey

GIANT selection of beer. Staff is helpful to find what you want. Tastings are offered as well. Cool store!

Great selection. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ill be a regular to this spot!

Management is awesome, variety is great and environment super cool

Solid selection of good beers! Friendly staff and cool vibes

Casual CB place. Mainly for bottles or cans to go but a couple of seats for cask CBs. But careful, not all cask beers are fine.

Great beer selection, solid tap list and friendly staff. Recommend for stocking up your fridge or a relaxed night out with friends.

Allways great beer selection and friendly staff. One of my favorite spots in the city

Lots of microbrewery beers.Flight of 4 for $9 is a nice way to try a few.Drinks:- Satin solitude stout - pretty good

Small but great selections. Great Fine Wines and Liquors 👍

This place is heaven for craft beer enthusiasts. They have a rotating tap for flights. Music is always low so you can talk. Fridges stocked full of bottles to bring home. Lots of restaurants in the area for when you walk out drunk. Whether youre looking for a few beers to bring home or a flight to try, this is it.

Definitely good selection but when I inquired about a few rare varieties that dont come by often, I was told rather pretentiously that they are usually reserved for their best customers, whatever that means. Apparently not everyones money is good here.

Great place especially for the beer newbies

Awesome selection of beers and a friendly staff. Great place to try new brews, and the inventory is usually very fresh.

Good beer lives up to its name, and everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. Prices are a bit high though, but you get what you pay for.

Excellent bottle shop with excellent beer and a few taps to drink in store.

Top notch, great people. Best bottle shop in the area

Amazing selection of craft beer with amazing staff

Went here for drinks with my brother. Do not remember the experience, but am told I had a good time. Must admit, waking up drunk the next morning was unusual.

Best beer selection in the city with reasonable prices

Always a good rotating beer selection and super friendly down to earth staff.

The staff are friendly & they have a large selection. Im particularly happy because they carry Lindemans Framboise Lambic Beer

Awesome selection, knowledgeable staff, great location. Also they serve flights of beer and fill your growlers!

Amazing beer selection. Very friendly and knowledgeable people working there.

This place has a great beer selection. The best is taking a variety home for a tasting.

Great place! I´m searching for a historic rock build (Zeppellin´s Grafitti and Stones clip of Waiting on a friend) and i found it! Good beers and good vibes!

Love love love! What a selection of sour beers!!!

Staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. Come here for good beer!
