    Rejoice! Upper East Siders can fill their growlers here, peruse the impressive craft beer bottle selection, and saddle up for a pint or two of local beers like Bronx Pale Ale and Ithaca Flower Power.

    Something like 200+ craft beers in bottles on any give day. If you live on the UES and like craft beers this should be the only place to you ever go.

    One of the best craft beer selections in the city, especially great for the UES. Westbrook bottles and Evil Twin in stock too! You won't be disappointed.

    Unexpected great spot to grab a drink or two. Check their website for the draft list. Free wifi, and plenty of places to sit and sample before you buy.

    One of the best- if not THE best place to find your favorite craft beer, or to find the beer you never knew you needed in your life. On top of that- awesome staff.

    Is this the best beer selection in the city? Insane prices too. As in bad. As in expensive. Gotta go if you’re a craft beer freak on the UES tho.

    Incredible craft beer selection! Grab a growler to go or stay for a flight. Sometimes you can catch a free tasting. Just picked up Southern Tier Pumking which usually goes fast in this city.

    Laid-back vibe with a ton of solid beer options and great value. Feels more like a chill bar in Colorado than the UES. 🍻

    Featured comment here on Foursquare from Bo Beyer-Johnson says @CitySwiggers has "something like 200+ craft beers...." City Swiggers has, no less, 900 selections on our shelves at any one time.

    Huge selection of American craft, not-so-crafty, and international beers. Also there's always excellent selection on tap.

    Make your own six pack with their huge variety of loose beers. Never settle for six of the same beer again.

    Excellent selection and excellent service. Great prices for the UES; get your Allagash and ask for a recommendation up front.

    Mix one of the coffee stouts with the maple pecan porter. Proportion carefully, then reap deliciousness.

    It's a good spot to have on the UES. Fair selection, not the best but its far from the worst. Works out in a pinch, I'd rather stop at while foods on the way home

    $7/glass & there are 3 people here.$5/glass at Pony Bar which I had trouble walking thru to get to the bathroom. Pony Bar has food. City Swiggers does not. What's wrong with this picture?
