Kevin Strunk: Great spot. A must for any UES craft beer fans.

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

Lounge · Hell's Kitchen · 61 tips and reviews
Trae F: Great spot off the beaten path for cocktails and snacks. Small plates so order a bunch to share.
The New Yorker: “Bar Centrale is almost ostentatious in its understatement. The black-and-white photographs on the walls are of Joe’s friends, & musicians he likes. Until recently, there wasn’t even a cocktail list.” Read more.

Anna 🦀: Delicious, huge salads. Burgers and sides are also great!
Kristen Favorito: The pretzel....don't question it...just do it!
Lauren Ianuzi: if you're looking to avoid the sometimes crowed bar when stopping in for a bite to eat, ask to be seated in the back dining room. the mac and cheese pie is SO good, just prepare to have leftovers.

Jess Sheehan Renaud: Loved the scallops wrapped in prosciutto over spinach in a white wine sauce-so decadent!
New York Habitat: We're obsessed with their sheep's ricotta cheese and black truffle honey bruchetta. Don't think, just get it. Pair it with the gnocchi di ricotta and a wine by the glass for a perfect experience.
Nick Z.: Romantic and inexpensive wine bar and restaurant for people who are madly in love. Read more.

Stephanie P.: Cheap craft beers, excellent original cocktails (and mainstream favorites!) and cheap good food. Only real downside? They're CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM in the back though #eyeroll
Mashable: This dive bar in the West Village has a young crowd, an amazing jukebox, and great selection of beers and mixed drinks. - Brett Petersel
Ray Lin: It may be a little peculiar seeing this kind of dive pub in the West Village amongst all the fratty bars, but it's a diamond in the rough because of the fabulous global beer selection.

Half Pint: Sit outside - it`s a nice night
