MetroSeeker.comAugust 1, 2011One of the best beers you can ask for is the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. The second is the Ommegang Abbey Ale. Pair either of these with the Charcuterie Plate, and you'll go home happy.UpvoteDownvote

Patrick HayesJuly 18, 2014An amazing beer selection. Delicious brews, and they always have a cask or gravity beer available.Upvote1Downvote- Lears FoolJuly 21, 2015Bartender gave me a "you better know what you want" vibe, rather than "I'm here to help." But I loved the beer list, and Google helped me decide.UpvoteDownvote
Great beer place, but sometimes it can be a little loud. There potato "chips/fries" are really spicy :-)UpvoteDownvote
The Brew NoobJuly 26, 2012Check the beer menu on their chalkboard behind the bar, as their selection of craft beer is constantly rotating!Upvote2Downvote
Daan V.June 30, 2012More than 50 beers by the bottle and 28 on tap. Just make sure you know what you want, because the bartender is usually not to keen on helping you make up your mind.UpvoteDownvote
Beer lovers haven. Come sit by the fireplace on a cold night with one of the many beers & a grilled cheese & tomato soup.UpvoteDownvote

"So good! Classic my slice. Ricotta with basil was my favorite. Meatball was second then pepperoni"
Jarel Hill - 9.0
"My favorite slice joint in NYC. Mozzarella is solid, pepperoni is solid, but the your best bet is the plain slice (add parm and red chili flakes, duh)."
Emily Wilson - 8.4
"My favorite NYC slice. I prefer the plain slice with fresh mozzarella. Make sure to get it reheated."
