This built from scratch beer garden features walls adorned with doors from a Greenpoint fire house and a lone pinball machine and is pouring 21 taps of locally sourced suds. Read more.
Sit upstairs where the walls are covered with leather-bound books and a fire roars in front of comfy couches. It’s sort of like the library-meets-bar you wish you had when you went to college.
The bartender is always super knowledgable about the beer list, so don't be afraid to ask questions. P.S. the chocolate cake w/ mint ice cream = killer.
Order a round of balanced Barrier Brewing Company brews if there’s one on tap. They’re one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
The beer menu is always changing and always full of hits. Swing by and try something new.
If it's warm, snag a seat outside with a Duvel Green and order up some moules et frites. If it's cold, cozy up on a couch with a date and a lambic. Then let the happy sink in.
The best bar in the slope. Simple, unpretentious, and good beer. Oh, and the patio is awesome.
Great and frequently updated list of drafts. Also one of the best backyard gardens in the neighborhood.
Get a gallon of good beer (the tap handles are meat cleavers!) and share with your table while feasting on pork.
Pretty much the best bar in NYC. Best beers, great bartenders, free popcorn, what else so you want? It gets a bit packed which is lame, but I can't blame them. It's tops.
A classic and authentic German biergarten, complete with liter steins, bratwurst, and the local Bohemian Community Center.
Check out their incredibly selection of local and American craft beer, but watch the ABV - too many big beers will seriously reduce your ability to play the first round of Q-Bert or Marble Madness.
Go to BXL Cafe. Treat yourself to a tripel karmeliet. Or taste any of the belgium beers on tap. The bartenders treat you right. Read more.
An endless variety of craft brews, and a friendly staff that won't force your dog to wait out on the curb. Bring your pet in while you sample the selection! Read more.
New York's newest brewpub, this restaurant brews the beer they serve with a two-barrel system in their basement. They call it a "gastrobrewery" - with great food perfectly fit for pairing.

The beer menu at this booming beer hall boasts 30 diverse and delicious German beers. Add that to the communal tables and wurst, and you can have an authentic experience without flying to Cologne!
Rustic feel with long wooden tables tucked away in a corner of LIC. The garlic frites are terrific (share!) and the beer selection is golden (fav is the Left Hand Sawtooth).
