Chuck C.Chuck Connelly: By far the best beer selection in the neighborhood, outside patio is wonderful in the spring ( you can stay out their as late as you want now). The blue burger is epic, make sure you get Cajun fries.

UntappdUntappd: Great craft beer on the UES. Great draft/bottle list and a outdoor area for the summer time! Food selection is also a winner!

Cate D.Cate Dunn: Ask for an outside table-there is a hidden patio upstairs in the back with table service. Always ask for the special list, order the nachos, and enjoy a beer from a constantly changing rotation.

Anamika J.Anamika Jha: The vibe is nice and its located in the heart of the city but very few options for anything other than IPA

Al S.Al S: Awesome outpost of the Brooklyn-based brewery. They’re known for their hazy New England-style IPAs and barrel-aged stouts. Drink one or all of those. Usually a decent size draft list and cans to go.

Brian M.Brian McG: Fresh Other Half beer in Manhattan so you don’t have to go to Brooklyn 🤭

AdrienAdrien: My perfect combo : Spicy pork bun + Spicy garlic ramen w/ firm wavy noodles + sapporo on draft

Emiliano V.Emiliano Viscarra: As everyone mention the first things you need to try are: Spicy Garlic Ramen, Garlic Edamame Butter and Fried Chicken. They also have Sapporo on draft which is the perfect combination.

Stephen B.Stephen B: Don't order any of the classic cocktails - the bartender doesn't know how to make them and then insults you when you send it back. Stick to beers and vodka sodas.

Andrew D.Andrew D.: Fabulous "El" Burger! Great Guinness, class cocktails and five star service!

Jaycob B.Jaycob Burns: If it's crowded on the first floor, try the 2nd. It's cozier anyways (but with less beer selection)
