Belgian bar is one of the best bars by NYU. I say Belgian bar, because in college I had no idea what its real name was; that's what everyone I've ever spoken to has called it.

All the beer is from Belgium or is Belgiam-style, as you could expect: Hoegaarden, Chimay, Lindeman's, etc. Some of the beers are fairly common in the city now a days, some are more rare.

Read moreLast Saturday I went here from my fiance's birthday. She is always like this bar and wanted to bring a bunch of friends here so we decided to check it out. The waiters were nowhere to be found and when we finally did find them it seems like they were angry that we had disturb them from whatever they were doing.
