Best dive bar on the UWS with a great bottle selection - to go or to stay. A solid ~15 draft choices that rotate with 7 or so staples on top of that. Daily happy hour.
One of the best craft beer spots on the West Side. ~300 bottles and cans at any given time. Good tap. Typical selection from New England brewers...Grimm, Other Half, Hill Farmstead, etc.
A great local spot if you want the real deal NYC dive experience. A hole in the wall, but that doesn't mean you won't usually find a great singer/songwriter playing during happy hour.
Great beer selection, comfortable hometown bar kinda feel, and Brittany is an awesome bartender. The bottles and cans in the coolers are for taking out or drinking in, but there is a $4 corkage fee
One more tip .. Make sure you go and leave before 9pm. After that the music gets louder and you start to hear the worst song you h e ever heard one after the other!
