- 12 rotating taps, and over 65+ bottled beers in a range of styles from across America. Check the menu for their "kegs on deck" and grab a few samples before you fill a 64 oz growler to go.
Brew YorkOctober 23, 2013The kind of neighborhood beer joint the West Village was waiting for. Coffee in the morning, then 12 rotating tap lines, bar food, and a basement stocked with 3 pinball machines for the night owls.
One of my favorite beer bars in the city. The drat menu has a nice variety and their bottle selection is excellent -- well-priced craft finds across a variety of styles that rotate often
Caglar KurcNovember 27, 2016Great selection of beers, very nice environment and friendly people. It is a small place but if you get there during the Happy Hour, it is calm and spacious.
Ali RoseMay 15, 2015Perfect little early AM morning breakfast spot with outdoor seating. Simple clean eats. Plus the bathroom is mosaic mirrored 👍🏼
Came for brunch. Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary was solid - nothing fancy but done right. Home fries or salad are equally good options as sides. Also - they have beermosas!
Chris ScottAugust 25, 2013I didn't see any pinball but this is a really nice place with great food and beer. Oh, and the coffee is good too if you are there in the earlier part of the day.
LukeNovember 21, 2018As fun as bars get in this neighborhood, with a beer menu that’s just the good stuff. A lot of Grimm Ales on tap!
TylerDecember 16, 2017Expansive beer selection, great bar area, ambient dim lighting. Also had a dope latke/beer deal for Hanukkah when I was there.
Anthony PopeoMay 28, 2016Small, cozy bar. They serve food too. Good selection of cider and craft beer with space downstairs (it's reservable).- Great selection of beer + wine. Good place to ask bartenders for new beers to try out. Fun for a weekday drinks catchup
The specialty cocktails are a must. My go-to is the Sangue de mi sangue
- Tracey ChurrayAugust 18, 2015Incredible beer selection and wonderful bartenders who know their beers.
Fred WilsonMarch 28, 2013Pinball while I drink my cortado? Sounds awesome. Might be my new go to neighborhood coffee place.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideMay 3, 2013Serving Brooklyn Roasting Co coffee daytime, craft beer and food at night, this large attractive West Village spot has pinball machines in the downstairs room. Read more
Espresso in the morning, beer at night, food all day......stay all day and be happy!
Maria VazquezApril 22, 2016Good spot to kill time while you wait for The Spotted Pig to call you. Huuuuge selection of brews and the food smelled delicious.
Andrew HogueApril 20, 2015"Brew" refers to both beer and coffee. Strong options including a breakfast wrap and omelette make this a solid AM destination.- There's a sneaky downstairs you can get to all the way in the back. 3 pinball machines and a few tables. Great for a group.
Matthew HamiltonAugust 6, 2014Best draft beers on tap in the area. Great service, good atmosphere. Great place for after-work beers.
Emiliano ViscarraSeptember 15, 2017I went here for a quick beer before dinner. Amazing place and great draft selections.
Christina PeironaNovember 21, 2014Amazing fries. Very cute ambiance. Their outdoor seating for breakfast is charming and delicious!
Fantastic beer selection and knowledge staff (and the crowd couldn't be more different from Blind Tiger).
Rune SolbergApril 9, 2015First thought it just served coffee and nearly went past, luckily I popped in for a look. Nice selection of craft beers.
JPOctober 13, 2015Looks like any other bar but go in and try their extensive beer list and head downstairs to play some pinball
Rob Berry Jr.April 14, 2014Service is great (with a smile!) Very attentive and helpful. Happy hour from 5-7pm $2 off of the original draft price.
Marcel ArinsDecember 7, 2014Good beer. It is more a brunch place with snacks to drink with beer. I went at lunch time.
Andrew KayvanfarMay 24, 2014Great beer selection. Didn't get to eat here this time, but the menu looked solid. I'll be back.
Gianna NebbiaMay 5, 2018Fun bartender and good beer. Fun casual hangout or pregame, but definitely not the main event
Wojciech ZalotSeptember 27, 2014Excellent choose of beers, good vibe and music, makes you want stay here for a looong time!
Russell CaluriApril 7, 2019Small food selection but good rotating local crafts on drafts and large bottle / can selection
Quan NguyenAugust 11, 2017Awesome beer selection with chill vibe. Not crowded and great with the $2 off all drafts during HH.
Ryan AmbsNovember 7, 2014Great beers. Great place to just kick it casually. Lots of pissed off girls taken on dates here.
Fraser McCallumMay 29, 2014Fantastic little bar. Fresh food and stupendous selection of beers. Loved this place.
Great craft beer selection. You don't need to order food to snag a table outside.
Monti BrayAugust 17, 2014This popcorn is unlike any movie theatre popcorn you've ever had. Prepare to be amazed.
More craft beer hang than coffee shop, a rare beacon of hope amongst the uninspired roster of west village bars
Stopped by for coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the beer selection. Will be back for drinks.
Adrian LMay 24, 2015Very low key, relaxed atmosphere, great domestic beer selection. $5 sliders during happy hour were scrumptious
Clare LynchMarch 28, 2015Go all the way back and head downstairs for secret extra seating and pinball machines
