The Corcoran GroupJuly 10, 2013One of our favorite after-work spots to grab a beer, although it gets very crowded. The bartenders are very knowledgable, so defer to them if you don't know what to order from the extensive list!
Daniel PorterOctober 9, 2014Best beer line up in NYC. Great friendly bar staff and you can do flights of 4 beers if you can't make up your mind, which you won't be able to!
JT TeranNovember 22, 2016The Ginger Man has an incredible amount of beers on tap, so you'll find whatever you like. It's lively, as expected, so prepare to wait to get a drink during busy hours.
Viren KaulJanuary 21, 2017The beers on tap ! Great list, fresh. House beer is decent. Ambience great to get friends together ! We caught up over the cheese plate and sliders .. both 10/10
This is a right place for having a glass of Duvel in New York City. Also good for trying many kinds of draught beers and solid liquor selections in one place.
Dan SohaydaNovember 21, 2019Huge place with a ton of great beer available on tap or bottled. Quality Reuben sandwich as well means I will be frequenting this place. They do small pours for flights but not individually which sux.
Brew YorkNovember 15, 2011Weeknights after work, it's a gauntlet of suits, but it's worth scavenging for a seat for the largest craft beer tap list in NYC... once the guy clears his barstool to catch the 7:13 to Greenwich.
Great place. I don't drink a lot but love to take there my friends when visiting. It has a local style and lots of beers from all around the world. Bring your ID!
WhiskeyAvengerJune 17, 2018Great beer selection. Not my most favorite but I would have no problem with this being the best bar option where I happened to be.
Alex FultonJuly 6, 2013This I my favorite bar in manhattan. So much to try, and all of it delicious. Truly pleasant staff. Not pretentious. They are happy to tell you about anything you are drinking if you want to hear!- Carlos ValleMarch 1, 2015Amazingly large and diverse beer selection. It can get pretty crowded but check out the couch room in the back right!
My favorite beer bar in the city. I'm sure there are others with a great selection but the Ginger Man always works.
Alfred M.May 8, 2017Extensive drink menu-- if you can get a spot to sit, it's definitely worth hanging out for a while. But it's not cheap.
Susan RussoAugust 2, 2013The best bar in Midtown for an extraordinary selection of craft beer-- double IPA's, saisons, sours, Belgian, barley wine and more. This is the place for discriminating beer drinkers.
The only bad time I've had here was when they tan out of Dunkel. Otherwise, one of my favorite beer bars in NY. Sure there's a lot of suits, but there are a lot of beers too. They cancel out nicely.
Food RepublicJune 18, 2012This midtown brewery is home to the after-work crowd of professional drinkers. Always try whatever they're brewing up in-house, and don't miss the Kobe dog if you need something to pad it all out.
The Brew NoobAugust 29, 2013This bar has one of the largest selections of draft beer in NYC, a mix of craft and import options that will offer something new to even the most prolific beer tickers!
DermDoc Jeff BenabioAugust 2, 2013Finally, a beer selection in NY that pleases a San Diegan. Amazing selection of craft beers with friendly, knowledgable bartenders. Beer in Manhattan never tasted so good.
HectorMarch 20, 2016Cozy, feels like someone's living room, with an extensive beer and whiskey/scotch collection. Grab a couch by the window or in the back.
Chelsea RenaudNovember 12, 2015It’s nice and spacious, which also makes it a prime Happy Hour spot for all the finance and lawyer people getting out of work around there. There are also couches in the back
Ethan FixellMay 19, 2013The beer list is extensive, perhaps the best in NYC...but nothing beats a Rodenbach Grand Cru if you're a fan of sours.
EddieSeptember 19, 2014Really nice hot spot area to hang out and get some beers after work. The bartenders are really nice and never have to wait to long to get a drink.
Kara RNovember 8, 2014Good beers to choose from but the wait staff is so worried about making sure the chairs and tables are straight they make the customers super uncomfortable. Relax!
One of the few pubs in New York with a good collection of ales. Interiors resemble a London pub house. Plenty of beer on tap👍🏽- Percy McFarlaneFebruary 6, 2017A great place to crash...Food was good...Excellent ambience..The music was good..specially the starters were really good...Loved the place
Vineet ShahMay 30, 2014Awesome beer selection. If you like ginger, the Hitachino Ginger (Japan) is worth a try.
everything on the food menu here is delicious! but highly recommend the paninis and soups :) oh, and seasonal beers of course!
Valerio SoldaniMay 17, 2015Great beer selection. Good vibes and cool place. Unfortunately food is terrible but if you want to taste great craft beers it's the right place
Russell ZackSeptember 26, 2015Good vibe and service with plenty of space. Appetizers really worthwhile, try the meat and cheese plate along with the pretzels.
Awesome beers on tap - always some really interesting things to try and they do a $14 flight of 4. Do it!
M Reilly-BrooksMarch 18, 2015Even if you don't like beer--you can find one you like here. Go off peak and buy flights to try a variety. Excellent.
Ali AndersonJanuary 4, 2015upscale beer house, lots of draft options - including He'Brew from Clifton Park, NY!
ClaireDecember 7, 2014A great mid town option! Pretzels are a great snack! Split a sweet and a savory so you don't have to choose!
The beer list always features some great local brews. The food and the service are top notch too.
DonTonTingoAugust 1, 2015Tons of 🍺 try new things all inn night every night as their menu always changes
Michael G.September 6, 2018Ideal place for after work hangout with a small to medium crew (5-8 people). Long list of draft beers!
Alejandro EstréllaMarch 9, 2015One of the biggest selections of beer I have ever seen. Stay away from the habanero beer, it's good but don't drink it unless you're ready to piss fuego, Bruh!
Anna KorolevaAugust 7, 2012Best selection of draught beer is here! For girls - Blue Point Blueberry is very nice. Cider here is very light and not so sweet as in most places.
TylerJuly 20, 2018Excellent beer selection, open space, great upscale casual vibe. Also, the mozz sandwich is excellent.
Brad GerickJanuary 13, 2013$3 for a warm, cinnamon-sugar soft pretzel, not to mention 70+ beers on tap and countless more in bottles? We shall meet again, Ginger Man. (Con(?): One TV and it's small, up high/hard to see.)
Abigail KofflerNovember 5, 2016Even if you're not a beer drinker, the cocktails on tap are perfect after work. Try a negroni.
Charlotte ChanNovember 23, 2016Like their beer menu and the room in the back -- not too fancy yet super cozy, good for casual dates 🙂
Bill JohnstonAugust 30, 2014They offer a flight of four draughts -- not just beer, but cider and less well-known drinks like barleywine
Lori LuoOctober 27, 2014Seat yourself at a table, or take a spot at the counter. This bar is a beer drinker's dream, although cider and wine is available on the menu.
UntappdAugust 15, 2011Right across the street from Rattle N Hum is another great bar with tons of taps of the best stuff on earth. You can even bring your Growler and fill it up!
If you're at a table reading the paper beer menu make sure you read everything. There are some hidden gems on there in really small print.- Sam BrownOctober 4, 2011Try not to be flabbergasted by all the beers on tap as you enter and head straight to the back, great lounge area here with sofas and comfy chairs.
