Sam CJuly 29, 2011Great beer selection and cool outdoor/greenhouse seating area. Be careful of seats that smell like dog s#it, there are a lot of them because they allow dogs
Jason O'BrienJuly 2, 2018Some of the best bar staff in NYC. Friendly and knowledgeable! I felt like I’ve been going here for years!
What’s with the no baby policy? Most bars/beer gardens in NY allow babies and kids to come on weekends during the day, especially when there’s an outdoor space. The owner hates kids and is so rude!
Enclosed outdoor seating, with heat lamps for the cold. Dog friendly!
Gary PeckApril 16, 2013Good beer and whiskey bar. Very extensive selection. They have a nice patio too.
Xinyi ChenJuly 12, 2014Soooooo cute. Great place for drinks with the girls or a hot date with the man 👍 beer selection is excellent lol- written by TD
HAPPY HOUR IS UNTIL 9PM **EVERY DAY** AND THERE ARE SO MANY DOGS.
- eric mortensenFebruary 17, 2012Great single malt selection. Great beer selection. Not so great chance of getting any sort of service on even remotely busy nights.
Get Kira, a great summer-y white beer. Made by Belgian monks, only about a hundred barrels a year. Dba is the only place in Manhattan where I've found it.- Great dog friendly bar with outdoor seating in the back!
- ZachDecember 12, 2017They have an amazing amount of beers on tap and usually a handful of unique selections.
Dogs are welcome at this bar. Come in and grab a beer with your pup.
Village VoiceNovember 7, 2011Grab a few and plan on staying for awhile when its nice out - the backgarden is on our top urban oasis list.
Sundays: $8 mimosas, bloodies, mulled cider (in the winter). FREE bagels + lox!
Meghan KathleenJuly 26, 2013FYI, the garden closes at 10 PM, kind of a bummer. That says, the space is great for large groups.- Bea AsavajaruOctober 22, 2012Outdoor area closes at 10pm on weekdays :( Get there early if you want to enjoy the al fresco drinking.
Alex MunozApril 2, 2011Beer great. Scotches great. Tequila's even better. Outdoor garden on an *lmost" spring day - priceless
Dog friendly and back patio. Sounds like a perfect summer activity.
Romain D.June 11, 2017Has outdoor space, unfortunately not always open... also super loud but lively!
Ellie RountreeJanuary 29, 2012Find the cat!!! It's super friendly. Also bring your pup. It's dog friendly ;)
Juston PayneApril 14, 2011Great back patio, great beers, infuriatingly slow bartenders. One of my favorite bars in NYC.
Isaac MedinaFebruary 23, 2018They let you taste some of the beers before ordering. IPA's are really good!
MadhoJuly 28, 2012Protip: bring cards and sit in backyard. Play A$$hole. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scum_(card_game)
