    Is there such a thing as a craft-beer bar where people are low-key instead of pretentious and will help you find something you like? Yes there is, and you've found it. Enjoy.

    Great beer selection, choose your own from the fridge for reasonable prices. Service could use some work especially since you basically serve yourself. Don't expect to hear sports games, music only.

    Owner Matthew Gebhard offers local beers like Barrier Evil Giant and Radiant Pig Junior IPA. The food menu features paninis, meat and cheese plates and a soft pretzel. Read more

    Sounds like some punchcutter “brewery” in an Up & Coming Town, but actually a nice chill cozy regular-filled spot, with one pinball machine tucked in the back.

    Great place. Laid back. Lots of beer choices. Grab a beer from the fridge/coolers and pay at the bar. Perfect.

    One of a few non-douchey bars in this area. Great beer, elevated bar food that you won't hate yourself for eating, and genuinely chill staff. Would be a real gem in any neighborhood.

    A bit tucked away off busy 8th Ave (and next to a strip club), but solid craft beers on tap and even better in cans to go. Lots of NYC breweries to select from.

    Truly a hidden gem in Hells Kitchen! Awesome beers and good food. The space is a little too small and loud but it's a cozy craft beer bar.

    If you're indecisive set the time on your phone to five minutes because otherwise you're never going to choose anything. There's so much choice here!

    An amazing rotating draft list and fridges with some favorites and newbies. Don't miss "grandpa's fridge". I love this place!

    Bartender was super nice. Place had a turntable and played records for music. Loved that old school flair. Food smelled good but i didn't order. Try two different flights to try variety of beers.

    The place is great, intimate, good music. Blonde beer selection isn't extensive and $10 for a draft is insane for this place. Two beers + cheese nachos and total was $32, ridiculous for this place!

    On a quiet residential block steps from Midtown is this beer bar and shop, featuring 12 taps, a cask engine, countless bottles, and a "grandpa fridge" stocked with cans of old-school regional lagers.

    By far my favorite bar in NYC - fantastic beer selection, knowledgeable staff and great chill atmosphere that can be hard to come by in Manhattan.

    Good rotational beers if you are in to trying out different types of beer. Pick your own flight is a nice touch too. Small place never too crowded.

    A beery, cozy oasis that somehow exists apart from the surrounding madness of the Theater District. The flights on the menu reward the curious.

    My goto spot for beers after work. So many great craft selections and place doesnt have a midtown corporate feeling. Good for dates and never too crowded. Food is kind of meh though.

    For the sophisticated beer drinker which is kind of annoying but otherwise a great place. Any place that serves cask beer is a great place.

    A good place for draft beers and being just off the manic Time Square makes the location great.
