50 Best Beer Bars near Carlstadt

“On my first night over from the UK I was welcomed as a local. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They gave me tasters to find the right beer & it was great.
I returned over several nights & had a similar welcome; even remembered me by my name.
That’s the real meaning of hospitality. Well done guys.“

“Set up a surprise party Friday night and their entire staff was so helpful throughout the process. They made it seamless. All of my guests had an incredible time. Food, cocktails, vibe, everything was fantastic. A major thank you to the manager Jordan for helping me get everything arranged, our server KiKi, who handles a large party with ease, and I even met the chef who came out to say hello and was so accommodating and welcoming. They’ve made regulars out of me and my guests!“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“The warm, casually elegant atmosphere features beautiful lighting and a relaxed yet refined vibe, creating a special ambiance without feeling stuffy. The food is thoughtfully prepared using excellent seasonal ingredients, with the roast chicken and squid rings standing out as highlight dishes. The wine list is impressive, offering many great options by the glass. Service is knowledgeable and attentive. The total cost is around $20-30 per person, including wine. This place is truly a neighborhood gem in Tribeca!“

“New York-35th Amazing staff! Mia C was on top of everything. She was thoughtful and fast. She was excited for my son who was turning 10. So much food and make sure you get a shake.“

“Great selection of canned beer and cool ciders. Taps are limited but fresh.“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“Carmine Street Beer is the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down and actually look at what you are drinking. It is a small, family owned bottle shop and bar that has been holding down Carmine since 2013, and it still feels personal in the best way. You walk in and it is shelves on shelves of smart picks, from local NYC favorites to classic European styles, plus a tight draft lineup that changes often so there is always something new to try. 

What really seals it is the staff. They are the kind of beer nerds who are happy to meet you where you are, whether you want a familiar lager, something funky, or a let me try something weird moment. You can grab a pour, sip while you browse, and they will genuinely help you land on a bottle or can that fits your mood. The space is cozy with a small bar and a handful of seats, more of a relaxed neighborhood hang than a scene, which makes it easy to pop in solo or with a friend. 

No food, no fluff, just a seriously curated wall of beer and a vibe that says you are in good hands. If you care about variety beyond the usual hazy IPA parade, this place is a yes every time. “

“Everything was incredible. Best burger, great service!“

“This place is a must-visit for a drink or a cocktail. Whether you’re in the mood to socialize or unwind, it’s the perfect spot. The bartenders are exceptional and always attentive. They make sure you’re comfortable and check on your cup regularly, which I appreciate. The prices are always reasonable, and I’ve never been overcharged for anything. I highly recommend this place and give it a 💯% rating 10/10.“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“Amazing and interesting menu. Each dish was exciting and fun. We realized after our meal that we accidentally ordered and ate all vegetarian. Get the cheezits and the squash rings! The schnitzel was delicious as was the carrot hummus. Whatever that chocolate caramel dessert with marshmallow on top is… GET IT! Maybe get two.“

“This is why I love Manhattan. Put your phone away and walk. You never know what gems you'll uncover. For us, it was Milk and Hops. Very unassuming place. You could walk right by if you weren't paying attention. Thankfully I was. Great beers here. Fun atmosphere. Never hurts when you allow dogs inside.“

“10/10 experience! Went there for our anniversary and everything was just perfect! The place is cozy and intimate, food was absolutely delicious - I can taste the freshness and delicacy! The chef was so nice to offer us the full dessert set for our celebration. Can’t wait to come back and try their new season dishes!“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“Brando was amazing! He greeted us warmly at Foxtail when we first arrived after a long day of travel - and we then also had the chance to enjoy he thoughtful and efficient service in the rooftop at the Arlo hotel- where he suggested the best meal and helped ensure we got got our food quickly despite it being extreme busy at the restaurant. You are lucky to have Brando on your team! Thank you for an amazing visit to NYC!“

“Good beers, a fine selection, and great peoples! Enjoy! 🍻“

“The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a cozy and intimate setting that was perfect for a romantic evening or a special occasion. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, from the stunning décor to the carefully curated music selection.“

“Recently stopped in to kill some time, and this turned out to be the whole highlight of my NYC trip that day! I previously have had Other Half brews before and since this was conveniently located by where I was headed I added it. I had 3 different beers, the Broccoli, Bacon and the BA Sugar cereal and all were amazing. Staff was super friendly and they had some great tunes in the background. Highly recommend!“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“Really cool vibe and good service! We went on a Monday evening (6pm) and got a table right away. We had mozzarella sticks (awesome) and burgers - both veggie/meat. I switched the fries with onion rings (awesome) for my burger.
What I loved about this place was the crayons they put on every table to color the paper tablecloth. So great for kids and adults!“

“Great place, great food!!!“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“I was in a private party and everything was how we expected. Bartender excellent and service good as well! I will go back in regular basis! 👏🏻👏🏻💯“

“Great staff and food. Spacious too!“

“Man this place is amazing. Everything from the drinks to food and especially the service.

I hosted a birthday party and everything went great. Barry is quick to reply and made the whole process so smooth. They let us bring in and helped store cake and balloons. The bartender G was so thoughtful and provided one of the best hospitality experiences I’ve had at a bar. They even played the playlist I sent them!

Lots of friends told me how great and intimate the vibe was. If you’re thinking about hosting party for an important milestone, I highly recommend Crown Alley. Just an amazing experience.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“The best wine bar in the West Village, a true neighborhood gem with an impeccably curated wine list and every bottle somehow feels like the perfect choice. The team is warm, knowledgeable, and led by real wine expertise without a hint of pretension.

Come for a glass, stay for a bottle, and enjoy delicious food too. So grateful to have a place this special in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Best lemon drop martini I’ve had in a long time. Food was excellent bartenders and staff awesome.!“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“Makes you feel like your in a real Hollywood club setting nice females“

“The oysters were on point!“

“Truly one of the best breweries in the country, innovative, beer excellence. Not to be missed!“

“Great atmosphere and service. And the truffle fries were terrific!“

“Espectacular, la vista, la atención y los cócteles. Todo es perfecto“

“Friendly bartender, family friendly too which was a bonus since it was raining and our original plans to go to Brooklyn bowl fell through (closed for private event). Good options on tap and a selection of NA as well. Would steer away from the pies or ask for them to be baked longer. The middle was cold and we've had better pies elsewhere. The bar allows you to bring in outside food so we also got some dumplings and noodles from vanessa's around the corner which were great.“

“Beer Culture has usurped Blind Tiger for me as my beer bar of choice in Manhattan! They have a tight draft selection that rotates pretty often, and a pretty good can collection in the fridge. The staff have always been friendly and extremely knowledgeable; it is really handy when you can say you live in San Francisco, what do you have that I can only get out here? You can tell it is a good place in Hell’s Kitchen/Times Square when stage hands and actors actually come by after (definitely not between) their shows. They also have whiskeys available here as a sidecar; definitely do not try and order any other liquors, the back of their staff shirt makes that clear.
For food, I’ve only ever had the cheese curds because I obviously have a problem and can’t get them at many places in SF. The portions are large and the prices reasonable. My only feedback to them is maybe offer some large format bottle pours on busy nights so people can try some of the more obscure options.“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“Great food, friendly staff and efficient service, highly recommended“

“Well made cocktails. Very smart staff“

“Vibes here are so laid back and the happy hour specials are so affordable. It feels like an oasis compared to the surrounding bars.

Bartenders are so chill and talented. Shout out to Al for being such an awesome person to talk to. If you are waiting on a res to a nearby place, this is the place to hang out“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“I loved this hotel! I visited in September with a friend and loved every detail. Great staff, outdoor patio, rooftop bar, coffee shop, and location. Highly recommend.“
