Third review and each time such a different experience. Quiet and Monday so we had a nice window table. As usual really nice beer selections. They offer soda in cans and they have wine however no cocktails. Still a neighborhood staple and always good items on tap. No tables were outside though weather was awesome maybe since it was a Monday?
Here now and what an obnoxious door person and the waitress Cassie I think. I had purchased a Mexican Coke and I get it I should have waited to drink it so the door man asked me to put it away and I did. Then my husband went in a got me a Diet Coke. She explained no outside food or drink. No issue makes sense. Then as I was switching seats with my husband after just buying the coke he came back and asked if we were leaving since someone needed a table?! Huh I just purchased a drink and husband has a beer? I waited for 20 minutes for my table and he didnāt try to help me?! I donāt care if it is busy not my issue. Was not usual friendly here and today before at Patrickās day it was not! Took the fun out of coming to blind tiger for me for sure. Not sure why such a bad disposition and as soon as they asked me to put my coke away I complied so not sure why still an attitude!
Just left the blind tiger where we have been coming for years and I didnāt realize I didnāt review. They have a huge selection of beers from all the country and they have a kitchen which makes wonderful grilled cheese and Mac n cheese. Lots of high gravity and high alcohol and great selections you donāt see everywhere else in the city. Always busy just two small bathrooms in the back corner. Now they have outside seating in the street and in outside structure. Here is...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy favorite bar in NYC, hands down. I came here for the first time a few years ago when I was getting big into craft beer, and had heard that one the best tap lists in the world was here. It has never disappointed, and Iāve been back about 15 times.
The variety and selection is always incredible. Maine Beer Company, Grimm, The Alchemist, Other Half, Hudson Valley, you name it. And tons of more niche microbreweries, local and otherwise.
The bartenders are always super nice. Iām a Mets fan and they put on the games sometimes. Thereās a family tree of beers on the wall that I could stare at for an hour. And they give you a plaque on the wall if you ask a bartender to join the connoisseur club and drink 50 beers over time. Still on my way in that regard!
Be aware it can get extremely crowded at peak hours. Usually itās not too bad for happy hour or later at night, and any non-weekend day is pretty spacious, but 10pm on a Friday can be pretty slammed. Regardless, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and have the time, stop by and try a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOne of the best beer bars in the city, nestled on Bleecker where the West Village meets the greater Greenwich area. They always have a fantastic, comprehensive selection of draught beers, and the bartenders are very professional and knowledgeable. Their food, while I've only tried it a couple times, pairs well with their beer.
Beware, this place is almost always packed. They often host special brewery events in the afternoon (around 3pm), so they are literally full with people all day until closing time. For that reason, I'll sometimes pass by if I want a more relaxed atmosphere. That being said, if it looks half full, you should definitely not pass it by! They have a couple restrooms in the back and a small TV to watch sports if something is on.
It's a must-go place to take beer lovers and those visiting the city. Plus, what a cool...
